Hmm.

montero4:
U behave too childish and stupid as well. I never wanted to reply u all these while, cos I was busy enlarging my coast. Plz, get busy with something.....

Now I recall.

It's been stated that this is a Flooded Vehicle.

Is that the case?

Did you fish this vehicle out of the coast you were enlarging?

Almost free

montero4:
What exactly do u want from me?

Oh there you are.

I don't even recall anymore.

Have a good night.

The VIN reports with the photos would give you a better idea about the true state of the vehicle.

As for the categories of vehicles that may be good purchases, that's a personal decision, however I'd stay away from flood titles, vehicles tagged Junk/Export Only/ Parts Only/Certificate of Destruction.

Some buyers prefer vehicles with no front, engine or chassis damage, some with no SRS damage, etc.

In my experience Hail damage is one of the more reliable damage categories to bid on.

Okay , I believe my naivety resulted in my loss, but I would want you to know that even at source misrepresentations comes to play .

Aside from clean title cars ,which kind of title would be safe for one to buy and have rest of mind

Definitely.

A lot of insurance scams are perpetuated via auction. Similarly a lot of vehicles are misrepresented, but as far as they state their terms they cannot be legally liable for any events that seem contrary to their claims.

Always obtain a VIN report on any vehicles you intend to bid on. Don't rely on the photos the auction houses provide. They can be very misleading. Carfax or autocheck would do the job.

Flaghouse1:
Please enlighten me on the implication ,my thoughts are by all standard the car is expected to work at optimal level without hassles ,just buy and drive

Read the text above

If you did you would notice the fine print.

A vehicle can be severely damaged and overheating and smoking and still be tagged 'runs and drives'.

Flaghouse1:
Your points are valid , a lot of deceit,fraud,misrepresentation also takes place in US,Canada when you buy cars fir shipment to Nigeria, I had a bitter experience in 2015 bought a Mazda CX-7 with a "run and drive" title ,car arrived in Nigeria smoking, engine overheating, minor frame damaged, all these flaws were nit disclosed ,after spending over N2.45 million as landing cost to put the car in order I spent over N450k, bought turbo charger N150k,timing chain and cam rod -75k other parts and oil and workmanship took up the balance .

So I would enjoin all dealers despite these frauds or misrepresentation of vehicle title from the source of purchase should go extra miles to get he current status of vehicles and make it open to prospects as this will reduce mistrust , I will readily buy a vehicle that has an accidentEd title than one with a purported "clean title"

Did you look up the true implication of that 'runs and drives' designation?

Trained professionals can still be reckless. Those are two different things.

Perhaps thebigkendo was right in his correlations.

Ask Gazzuzz. You would have to provide the Engine VIN though.

Still available

VIN please. Thanks.
