₦airaland Forum

   

As a detailed follow up to what Fhemmy has said. Il add my own three cents.

I'v also refrained from commenting on this thread, but the urge is too much to resist as I was initially directly involved in Bafams quest for a 2007 Honda Accord and a 2000 Avalon.

A few months ago, Bafams requested a telephone quote from me for a 2007 Accord. I gave him a price of 2.6m to his door. He then contacted me a few weeks letter and said, and I quote "I know you are a trustworthy dealer on this forum, I need to ask your advice about a guy called PTConsults. I said to him " Sir, I have no negative or positive thing to say about PTC" as I know nothing about him,  the onus lies on you to decide to do business with him or not."


[b]
Bafams replied and I quote "Ptc has offered me a 2007 accord for 2m, what do you think? Also can I send you the VIN to do a check for me?."

I replied to him and I quote " Did I hear 2m for a 2007 Accord?, That is impossible sir, even the buying and shipping cost for a clean 07 Accord surpasses 2m,  Again Sir, The onus lies on you."

“I ran the VIN report, Report was clean,  and car was still advertised with the dealer at a price of  about $13,000, Thats when I knew something wasn’t right. I reserved my opinion as I did’nt want to be seen as falsely slandering a fellow dealer or knocking his hustle. I still advised Bafam’s that the onus lies on him”.

This case should serve as a deterrent to other potential customers and members of this forum.  We dealers are all genuine,  honest business professionals and ensure we have service delivery as our main ethos’s,   Whilst it is nice to get a good deal,  Don’t ask for the impossible.

I’m sorry for what Bafams is going through here,  But he has the Majority of blame in all of this.  Whilst I understand it important to protect privacy,  I feel it’s necessary to post the below email of a  request from Bafams to me for a 2000/2001 Avalon

Hello Sir.

Thanks for your email. Whilst I appreciate you intent to patronise us, What you are asking of me is virtually impossible. It's like asking a phone credit seller to give you a 500 naira mtn voucher for 300 naira. Not even 1.35 can get a clean, average mileage avalon.

My strong advice to you is ask all the other dealers on NL, and go car browsing at dealerships and Berger in Apapa.

My final price is 1.37 million.

Feel free to let me know if you wish to proceed sir.

Thanks

My Chairman, I dey oh. Business is good oh,  real busy.

Haba, Not even Toks 2000 Toyota Camry model can go for 1m.  Get your friend to do his research and go car browsing for a 2000 Avalon in Lagos, The cheapest on ground in Lagos is 1.65.

I am quite confident of the prices I offer as being on of the most competitive, Which explains why I have a growing and trusted customer base. If he finds one cheaper than my price, Then that's splendid for him. Maybe it wasnt meant to be my deal, Some come, Some go. In all, We give thanks to Baba God.

The cheapest I can get a Clean 2000 Avalon to his door is 1.37 million.


Thanks my Chairman.

PLEASE NOTE  *** BAFAMS EMAIL ADDRESS HAS BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT HIS PRIVACY AS I ENSURE I ADHERE TO DATA PROTECTION.

The above email clearly tells a lot about Bafams himself and is very self explanatory and analytical.


PTconsults  is still innocent until proven guilty,  What he needs to be aware of is that the continued silence and hiding compounds this allegation even further  and leans him towards the guilty edge of this case.

Come forth and state your case, Even murders, despoiler and serial killers are still given a chance to state their case.  You still have a chance to save your name, “if you have any explanation”


Best Regards.
