UNTIL SOMEBODY LOOSE HIS BREATH ON THIS THREAD AND DROP DEAD ON CALCULUSX MATTER.

THIS DEALER IS THE MOST CLINICAL HERE IN THAT A COMBINATION OF VIN CHECK HISTORY AND PHYSICAL INSPECTION INFORMS HIS DECISON ON BUYING CARS HE SELLS.

NOTE SINCE THIS DISCLOSURE CAMPAIGN BROUHAHA RAGING FOR MONTHS NOW. NO CUSTOMER OR CLIENT IS COMPLAINING OF A REAP OFF

THE BOTTOM LINE IS customer satisfaction is ensured THAT IS WHAT HE HAS BUILT IN HIS BUSINESS PROCESS.

HOWEVER HE ACHIEVES THAT IS HIS STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE. HIS BEEN MAGNANIMOUS ENOUGH TO INFORM US HERE THAT ITS BEYOND VEHICLE HISTORY ON LINE. HE HAS BOOTS ON GROUND IN USA. I SEE SOME OF HIS AUCTION BID WON AT $8000 . NOBODY GAMBLES WITH SUCH AMOUNT. IT'S BEYOND ONLINE DATA CAR PURCHASE DECISION.

THE TASKFORCE LETS EVEN KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO ENFORCE IF ITS ANYTHING OTHER THAN CUSTOMER PROTECTION FROM DISATISFACTION.

Hello

It's been six months since I've been away from auto section of nairaland. My last post here was March on another section. I started following events again in auto section just yesterday.

What do you intend to gain from asking vin# and details of vehicles that are displayed here? Let it be clear to you if you don't know that buying clean/ non accident vehicles cost average of 40% more than the salvage titled vehicles. How many Nigerians can afford clean title vehicle? A clean title 2006 Toyota Corolla with 120,000 miles is sold between $4500-$5500. While same vehicle with slight damage and salvage
title is sold for $1900-2500. Do the maths. If you ever go into car business today and start sending clean title vehicles to Nigeria, you are going to cry out of the business. I actually don't think you're doing any service to potential buyers. You're only creating cloud between potential buyers and the sellers. It's the buyers who should be asking questions and not you. Buying salvage vehicles doesn't stop it being road worthy. Scrutinizing every post here is not the way to go. A case where you Google lot number and saw a car with minor dents should not allow you to destroy someone daily bread. I'm a an wholesale dealer in the US too and a shipper and I can tell you 98% of vehicles I ship and Nigerians buy are actually salvage. To buttress Calculus and others claim on some of these vehicles you've argued about, sometime in March a customer asked me about my thought on 2012 Toyota Highlander looking so clean without accident but came with salvage title. I googled the vin and I found the same Highlander was sold at IAA San Diego, repaired and sold again at copart Dallas. The moment I showed the prior accident the guy said wow but still bought it anyway. The vehicle is in Nigeria now. I shipped it. Same scenario with another 2016 Honda Accord I bought for another nairalander. He didn't care and we won it for $9400. Anytime you see a sparkling clean vehicle at copart or IAA, believe me the car already went through repairs.

It's okay to scrutinize badly damaged vehicles when you do your research online and find them but once you see vehicles that are slightly dented, no need trying to make the vehicles as bad as they look. Salvage title doesn't make them bad vehicles as they sound.

Cheers

Mr calculux the gentleman I quoted above have said it all. The bolded are wise words. Dont get me wrong, I mean these guys are doing a good thing by helping buyers, human beings being naturally selfish almost no car buyer Here will want them to slow down since the buyers only stand to benefit, i even find it interesting how some shady dealers are exposed lolz but seriously having gone through most of the threads here it is bla bla bla bla etc etc etc

Bros, As of now, Vin no on all adverts here is not Mandatory except if Seun said otherwise tomorrow. Beware Vehicle History are often exaggerated so I don't bother checking the history before Purchase, it's NEVER my deciding factor. I'm more concerned about the Present state of tge Vehicle at time of Purchase. This link https://www.nairaland.com/4389998/sold-tin-can-cleared-2007-toyota and attached screenshot is a typical example

Pre-purchase Pictures appear on almost all my adverts, any advert without Pre-purchase Pictures will have the Vin no displayed for prospective buyers henceforth

HeavenlyBang:
Buyer's an idiot, then.

calculusx:
When will you start importing Cars? Useless boy

calculusx:
Be watching closely, it's surely a dead end for you. Nobody will fall for your cheap blackmail. If only you know how many deals I tied up withing those 2weeks? If only you know how many NLers persuaded me before I came back here to the extent that Cheki called me for FREE Adverts but my addiction to Nairaland won't let me leave here nor will I leave here because of your cheap blackmail. Waiting till when you will import a Rim let alone a Car so that reality will dawn on you stupid boy.
If others are doing your bid, I Calculusx WILL NEVER do your bid because you are irrelevant in my affairs. The last time I checked, this is Nairaland and not your Father's Land

Seun:
Ok, I hereby a citizen police force to enforce compliance?
 
If you notice a "US" or "Canadian" spec car without a VIN,
keep harassing the seller until he/she complies with the strong recommendation.

This is a commercial board.  it will be hard to find a neutral moderator.

Let us see how far community responsibility can take us.

Ranting? slowpoke. I dont need to have a stake in his business to give him business advice. It's entirely up to him to take it as an insult or make amends and improve on his way of doing business. As for you..you shd probably improve on the used 5kva stabilizer you sell too..maybe I wld give you advice by then. You can start improving by selling cars on the "world class car sales sites" you talked about.
