AutosRe: Beware Of Lying Tongues Of Car Dealers On The Internet by davodyguy(op): 2:12pm On Jul 09, 2017
GAZZUZZ:
I do not agree with you, I have bought lots of cars on NL, not all were as advertised, but Final price was befitting of the vehicle inspected.
As posited in the OP, no one is expecting a used car to be like brand new, but they should be honest about the condition of the cars and also, price must be reflective of the condition of the car
AutosBeware Of Lying Tongues Of Car Dealers On The Internet by davodyguy(op): 12:43pm On Jul 09, 2017
I'm compelled to open this thread, owing to what I've experienced in the last couple of days, in my quest to get a replacement car for my wife.

I'm looking for a 2008/2010 accord, in a pristine condition and willing to go as high as 2m, if the car qualifies to be called 'buy and drive.

Started checking online adverts on Nairaland, olx and

I'll see tags like
Super clean registered accord
Extremely clean Accord
Buy and drive,
Nothing to fix
6 months registered
Owner relocating abroad
Selling to upgrade
First body
New tires etc
And so on.

I actually found a couple, and after first calling, thereafter pressing them to speak the truth, they'll still stand by the fake tags put in the advert.

First was Benin, Edo state. After going down to see the car, shown in the ad very clean, we found the body dented, torn seats, dirty interior, and series of codes after diagnosis.

Yesterday, Saturday 8/7/2917 had to go check one after seeing the ad on olx and jiji.
The guy claimed the car was 9 months registered and nothing to fix.

Got to the car, found different colour on body parts. Fender paint, darker than the door colour, showing one part had been worked on.
Scanned the car and found 2 codes. One related to O2 sensor, the other related to coolant issue.

The selling is actually the 3rd user in Nigeria. I engaged the gear and found faulty engine seat. Ac not working and all 4 tyres are bad. Imagine this guy insisting on 1.7m for the over used 2009 accord.

Yesterday, I just gave up.

These car dealers really need to know the meaning of buy and drive, as well as nothing to fix.

Whilst some of these cars are 'buy and drive'. Buy and drive in the sense that, after buying, you will drive them away from where you bought them, they're are not in extremely good condition.

People should be honest.

Not saying you expect a Nigerian used car to be like brand new or like Tokunbo, but at least, you can say the truth to the public, instead of deceiving them in order to lure them to buying bad cars at very expensive prices.

For instance, the 2009 accord that I inspected, shouldn't exceed 1.4-1.5, having being over used by 3 different people in Nigeria. But this greedy guy was insisting on 1.7m for a car, he bought from second user lesser than 1.7m.

Only if owners can come out to put their ads themselves and not give cars to unscrupulous dealers.

90% of car ads on Nairaland Auto section, olx and by car dealers are filled with elements of lies.

One would only be hopeful to find the remaining 10% that are honesty in all intent.

e no go beta for those evil dealers. They be selling dead crap for the price of brand new.
I just called one on old now. I want to buy a 2008/2010 accord and found his ad.

He said 9 months registered blabla bla

When I pressed him further, he said he's the second d user in Nigeria. So if he's the second user, how come car is 9 months registered? I just let him be. Bastard

"Sue".I read a post where the said/concerned nairalander asked the seller of a car why he use waterproof to block the car registration number since the said cat is urs plus that no thieves will be comfortable where i'm" only for the "danfo" car owners to report to some spirit here and phew! the man moniker disappear from the post/post deleted.,
Pathetic.

Many car dealers here are dubious.

Lies too much.

They say buy and drive, nothing to fix at all.

Get to the car and see, CEL, bad suspension bad tyres, body work needing to be done, no custom papers etc

Yet, advert says car in good condition, nothing to fix

Emma and CO. please, update us on that info of sp24w ku can the bird be shot dead?
Just saw it now, but would try tomorrow with my motorised dish.

Rumour says it's 20° W

Hence if anyone watches the satellite, you can blind scan.

Note, I boldly mentioned the satellite it was claimed the channel resurfaced.

I don't want anyone to ignorantly say that when you mention a satellite on Nairaland, the channel would disappear. Such thinking is ignoramus, Cos the channel owners that migrated from the west knows what they're doing, which no one has control over.

It was like watching Dstv illegally and thinking Dstv weren't aware.

See mumu question.

Many people can distinguish between Registered Real Estate companies, certified ESVARBON/NIESV and local agents who claim to be estate agents.

When you deal with chartered surveyors
Like Jide Taiwo and Co
Ismail and Partners
Ubosi Eleh and co
Diya Fatimilehin
Osas and Oseji

You'll know its an error dealing with local agents and Omo onile
