Coolcash1: @davodyguy, I feel your pain and understands your frustration...Before, u advice you let me say we do have genuine dealers online especially here on NL though very few. I bought my car from NL and that of my wife from Olx ....The story behind then is for another time.
Let me share with you my own rules;
Rule 1. Cars outside Lagos is a no-no! I don't bother to call no matter how good it looks. Rule 2. Dealers are capitalist never expect them to say the whole truth- you decide what you want. Rule 3. I go with a TRUSTED mechanic who will not compromise to do a THOROUGH inspection...A dealer tried to bribe my meco when we went for an inspection but the guy exposed him saying he won't destroy our relationship just because of money...I just laughed at the foolish dealer and never returned there. Rule 4. I don't buy locally used purchased cars from another user. I go for fairly used cars that is being sold by the first user to reduce my risk and save myself from stories that touch. Rule 5. I avoid cars whose prices are too good to be true...chances are that it's a scam. Though some buyers out of greed and love for cheap things will ignore the red flag and then fall a prey...For instance, a Naija used 2011 rx350 going for #3M..se nah bonanza?  Mine is always Rule 4 standard. But the direct owners don't know hiw to advertise cars themselves. They do it by proxy and we end up with capitalist dealers |

Kufie: My brother, I feel your pain. I'm not even an owner but a middleman. I direct prospective buyers to the owners so they can inspect and agree on a price. Over the Muslim holidays, computerglobal offered a free VIN/License plate check so I thought why not give him one of the cars I've been told to source for buyers for to check. To my greatest surprise, the report came to me stating that the car was recorded a total loss. I didn't bother confronting the owner, I just registered the adverts as "SOLD". While middlemen do all they can to get some money in their pockets, some owners are dubious and untrustworthy. I urge everyone I meet to do a research online and physical inspection is a must. Since then I've stuck to advertising and selling only my brother-in-law's cars as those are the only ones I'm sure of. Please let's be careful and honest here. Buying a car is a big deal Loooool Register as SOLD Looool |

At Op.
Do we still require a custom paper for cars claimed to have been bought brand new in Nigeria?
I saw a car I like and the seller says no custom papers, having bought same in 2010 as 0 mileage and didn't request for custom paper.
How safe am I? |

May be I'll see my 2008/2010 in excellent condition and at good price.
What I've seen so far are not worth it and are over priced.
Getting a 2008/2010 requiring about 200k to fix, at a price between 1.3-1.5m wouldn't be bad |

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 |
Autos › Beware 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. |

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.

ipobarecriminals: "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 |

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. |
