I am a silent reader on Nairaland and I created this account just for this post.

So I have been following this thread early 2019 I was not in need of a replacement vehicle, but I keep checking from time to time and I see nice deals, Fast forward to March 9 2020, I took amdmans number and messaged him to keep the good job up and I will be buying from him soon.

Auto response gave me a thank you replay, then I wrote him: I am looking got a 2007 to 2009 MDX with a very good price. Good two weeks he no reply, I wasn't angry because lots of people keep complaining about him not replying messages, yet he comes online every now and then . I waited another 4 days, I sent him a message again ; please once you come across 08 to 09 MDX with good price let me know

Two days later this man never reply me, by this time I am already putting the monies together and this was around the same time the Ford explorer issue came up but I didnt let that deter me. 3 days after this man never still reply me, I was already getting angry that which kind person be this and I decided to message him again and luckily he responded and apologize for not responding

First thing I did was thank him for replying even though say na my money I wan spend,
Immediately he asked " what's your budget" I look say wetin dey do this man, sheybi na you dey state price I told him it depends on what he finds and we will see how we can work with the cost

He said prices of MDX are expensive right now, the price he gave me was 500k more than my budget he said my money can only get me RDX, Luckily he had one RDX at the time he sent pictures and videos, but it was white coloured which I rejected, then told him to let me know once he finds another color for the RDX. I thanked him again for replying (imagine)

April 17 I messaged him again not to forget me, either the MDX or the RDX auto reply came again

Two days later he replied and asked what's my budget, this time I got infuriated wetin dey do this man na sheybi we don talk before. I said to him what you find is what we will work with and if you find 06 to 08 Acura RL I am equally interested

He gave me the price of RL which was too expensive for me, in my mind I said RL wey cheap for Naija and no one wants to buy it, he said exchange rate is the problem, i suggested to him I waited a little more maybe things will get better with naira, he said OK keep me posted

About 26 days after I messaged him again, happy anniversary Amdman and that auto reply came up again he replied few minutes after, I told him not to forget my 07 08 MDX he said buzz me next week Monday dealerships are opening. He again asked my budget and that got me angry, sheybi I don tell this man this thing why he dey ask me unnecessary question again i said to myself

I asked him the payment plan and he gave one that was very suitable for me, me wey my money never complete. Three days after which was a Monday I contacted him to remind him as advised, he gave me the same price that wasn't within my budget and I was still offering something lower, I expected him to get mad and tell me off but he didn't I told him I will save more and he said okay ( The man is very encouraging)

Very nice of him, I was already appearing unserious by now but he was cool with me. By this time I was already feeling comfortable with amdman as he is replying my messages within minutes. 2 weeks later I messaged him that my money is ready he replied and said once he identifies a vehicle he will let me know, 3 days after nothing from him I thought he had forgotten me I messaged him again he didn't reply

I messaged him the day after and he responded saying he is on the lookout, what he has seen so far is even 200k more than my new budget this time it's a 2009 MDX, I told him let's take 100k off and I will make payment he said it wont work

Later he sent me a 2007 with my comfortable budget I said okay lets do this, by this time I was getting tired of adding more money , dollar was also adding weight every other day on the other side. After several hours no message form him I asked for update he didn't reply

He messaged me the day after telling me he is waiting for feedback from the seller.

The day after, he messaged me himself with pictures of another MDX this time 2008, i was tired by now I just said okay let's do this. What surprised me is he could have added more money for the 2008 he found but he didn't

We exchange contact and account number, he sent me the invoice, money was sent and later that day he sent me pictures and video when he was inspecting. He showed me the scratches on the vehicle and I still okayed it

2 days later he messaged me with more pictures of the vehicle and said it has been delivered to shipper, I did not expect it to be that quick. 12 days later I asked him amdman how far, he said car was shipped yesterday and in few days he would send me the tracking, by this time I had his balance and he sent the tracking as promised and I sent the balance 2 days after

The wait began, the cost of the wait is more expensive than the vehicle itself. I started tracking the level every 3 days, I was following it from port to port , vessel to vessel, voyage to voyage until the container discharged here in Nigeria

I messaged him after 11 days of discharge for update he replied almost immediately and said his team mates are working on it and will be available in a couple of days. That faithful day came, my entire community was on ground for the arrival (about 200 people) children inclusive and we gave the vehicle a welcome party

Amdman it takes a lot of courage for a stranger to trust you with millions of naira without meeting you in person or knowing where to find you. You have never failed anyone on that, God will continue to bless your hand. Please don't fail

I trusted an idiot with 3k here on auto section for a service, it's over 5 months he won't refund or reply my messages

Amdman always respond to your customers when they don't feel satisfied, settle the little difference with them don't give them reasons to ever call you out on here, what you have built here is worth more than that.

Some people are here monitoring the thread waiting for you to fail, while some potential customer don't care and will still go ahead and do business with you regardless of what anyone brings on here

As for we customers, we are buying used cars it will sure have one or two things to fix let's budget 50 to 60k and that might be enough for the fixes we need depending on the kind of vehicle we bought

Amdman, this business you have can't be handled by you alone. You need to employ someone else to attend to inquires while you are out doing your thing for other customers. You sure cannot satisfy everyone but you can do better than this

Over a thousand cars and counting , God bless your hands.

Pardon my typo and construction

God bless us
