Idsenate: Good evening Sir Please I came across your response from 2018 about A toyota corolla with a directly connected radiator fan causing the car to consume more fuel I wanted to ask Sir if you have anyone around Lagos/Ogun who can help me out with same issues..08137236380 is my line Thanks Sir
dapotemi: For NOW, I completely agree with you that this is not a case of FRAUD yet, though perhaps a case of dishonesty and not completely saying the WHOLE TRUTH!!! I have known KAKAKIAUTOS on NL for years ONLY as a dealer and to be honest by now, I expect him to EXPLAINED everything that could probably go wrong to his client...It is unfortunate that the buyer is just getting to know that there is something called PENDING TITLE! It shouldn't be. Obviously, this pending title thing is not new, definitely most buyers would'nt know so the seller, or an HONEST seller that is not just after profit should have spell it out, most especially knowing that 45M is involved. Most unfortunately, COMMUNICATION has been very very poor..You, GAZZUZ seems to have ignore that fact, albeit wittingly! I honestly cannot advice the OP, I would just say that guys should try to have some kinda of documented and legal agreement that is binding! Spending maybe 500k to have a binding agreement in a contractual transaction worth 45M is not too much! Why it is good to defend our friends and stand up for them, let's show some empathy and be fair especially when we dish out what we , perhaps cannot take!
One thing I love about him is his maturity, someone like me would have shared screenshots of all our communication including the controversial point on the title. As it is just 1 side is talking .
If you have followed the thread from first post there was no mention of title.
Caveatemptor: The guy is extremely cantankerous and has no scruples. I remember that television thread very well. Very unstable personality. Everything is dollars and pounds to him. Very dangerous character that should be avoided. Unfortunately some ignorant people worship him on these boards as their Ashiwaju. Watch how he and his cohorts will try to derail and turn this thread into a comedy central.
Sentiments and name calling will not change the facts.
0liverjiad: Did You remember how you called out a Moniker sometimes last year to be a scammer because you paid for a Television and the guy saw a better offer then sold to the highest bidder and wanted to refund you the actual amount you paid whereby you said he must add something to the money you paid him?
So now you're here typing rubbish and supporting kakakiautos to pay him the actual 45M... So Naso life be I wonder how you'll be resolving differences between your children. So sad this is coming from you!!! SMH
Caveatemptor: The thread title is PERFECT until the kakaki guy proves otherwise! In the case of fraudulent activity: If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck,I am going to assume what I am seeing is a DUCK!
in short Caveatemptor.
Now ask yourself, will the thread make the car leave the USA any faster?
The dollar jumped from 1600 to 1825 today, expecting the min of finance to jump on it and increase duty. Whose fault?
Business sometimes has its ups and downs in the real world.
Caveatemptor: Once again,I am asking you what the hell you and your usual gang of enablers are always trying to do on these boards? Somebody had business transaction with the Kakaki guy to supply a vehicle. The Kakaki guy was paid 45 million Naira for this transaction thus fulfilling his part of the transaction. Kakaki guy failed to inform the OP that the vehicle lacked a title which prevented the vehicle from being shipped. The OP was kept in the dark by the Kakaki guy of the stages of the transaction for close to five months. The OP being unsure of the state of the transaction due to the obfuscate attitude of the Kakaki guy decides to open a thread to bring the transaction into the open. The Kakaki guy refuses to respond until you who is obviously his influencer has put your foot in your mouth all over the thread as usual! I leave the judgement to the readers of the thread but know one thing that to me you come across as an enabler of the Kakakibuy.I can clearly see a sense of deja vu on this thread because this is how inspiredm started and of course he had enablers supporting him just the same way you are supporting this kakaki guy!
Newbie2024: Yes, he must refund the exact fund paid to him with current FX rate. You can't bill me $10000 in December and I paid you with the prevailing FX rate then and you expect to refund my $10000 with the old rate, it will not work. Otherwise, op should petition the appropriate authorities in the US
stop shifting the stadium
In the space of two weeks or so I transferred about 45 Million to his account.
Appletek: Refund 45M and use the secret profit to treat sudden epilepsy and convulsion.
By the time you fall for ground, dey foam for mouth, make teeth dey grind like acura engine, and them dey courier you from prophet to babalawo to dibia, you go know how far.
Newbie2024: Already, do you know how much extra it will cost him to clear the vehicle now? I believe the vehicle cost was quoted in dollars to op, so if he seek refund, he should be paid with the current FX rate.
Caveatemptor: From your posts on these boards it is obvious you can NEVER tolerate anybody collecting 45 million Naira from you and going incommunicado/silent on you. It is glaring from your posts that you have no iota of sympathy for the OP. It is pretty obvious that your biased sympathys lie with the Kakaki guy who refused to speak on this thread until you prodded him to talk. Once again,my sincere advise to you is to stop hopping over all the threads in the autos and car talk threads pontificating as if whatever you say should be the law. Just look how the first idea in your head is how the Kakaki guy will make a PROFIT on the OP's head from his own money. This is typical of people with your type of mindset. Profit without any empathy for the owner of the funds!
Over the years a lot of car dealers have fallen short of expectations on this platform. They have defrauded clients and they have either left or have started using new profiles.
The thread title for starters is not appropriate . A contract was entered into by both parties to purchase and deliver a vehicle . Money was paid to purchase the vehicle , vehicle was purchased. Vehicle was not resold to a third party vehicle was not stolen or vandalized . So for starters fraud does not come to play. What you have here is a common situation that happens once in a while . It has happened to every vehicle importer on this platform.
One of the reasons I will not tolerate kakaki slander is because he is one of the very few good guys who have integrity , one of the few good guys that you can send 100's of millions of naira and sleep easy. He has built a name for him self by being upright in his dealings.
Again as I said if I was in his shoes and I was threatened this way, I would refund the exact amount credited to me.
Business does not always go the way we expect and he is doing his best.
A lot of dealers have come and gone, but kakkaki stands out and will continue to thrive because of his integrity. I will continue to defend him.
Caveatemptor: Guy, What the hell are you trying to do here? If you have bought a million cars through this guy how does it affect this particular transaction and the fact that the kakaki guy failed to inform the OP that the purchased vehicle lacked a title? How would you like it if someone collected 45 million Naira from you and then went incommunicado? You need to learn to put yourself in the OP's shoes and show some empathy. I would sincerely advise you to stop this attitude of jumping all over threads,pontificating as if you are the ashiwaju of the auto and car sections. A word is enough for the wise.
I put my self in both shoes without any sentiments .
If I was kakaki I would refund the ₦45,000,000. Very easily . It's a profit on its own.
GAZZUZZ: Have done over 30 different cardeals with kakaki over the years. If not for the current trend in FX by now we would have already done like 3 this year.

I dey London now and I dey think to send car to Naija. The problem is that British cars are Right Hand Drive and will need to be converted to Left Hand Drive for Nigerian use.
Which low budget but efficient cars can be converted easily from From Right-Hand Drive to Left-Hand Drive in Nigeria?
I would perish the thought if you think it is not worth it Thanks

kowalsky: Again understandable. However before this thread I didn't know Cars on Copart could be 'pending title' neither did I know that cars could be in storage.
The only thing this dude does is speak English.
Like say nah this one vex you pass.
He's a prim and proper gentleman.
You should look at the other options chukel talked about including reselling vehicle.
