And a quick one, if we put pressure on all the oil companies selling obselete oils like sooperrescue is doing, we will have good oils in the country. Go and start something o and let us expand the playing field even though it is not choked up now. Automedics training invitation is still open. Avail yourselves the opportunity to be a better Nigerian.

Denn, leave all these holy sinparty crew. They shout fraud all the time and they have nothing to say than to hurl insults at themselves. There is not one single initiative from them. They are the spots without water, not afraid to speak evil against dignitaries but internet never forgets. They left their reasoning caps elsewhere and decide to spew insults. When someone does not have any superior talk to counter an opinion, they resort to abuses. An escape route that exposes their cowardice. I went to cars45 yard yesterday and I saw the warning all over. Cars45 don' sell cars but they sell through registered dealers. No refund after purchase. Bring your mechanic along. The girl has not revealed the name of the dealer to date, the car report she was given, the expert she took along that has only the ability to drive. Yet they are crying ripped off along with the praise singers with no proof. Name the dealer and show the report, no way. Autojosh took time and did what no one shouting fraud could ever do, arm chair critics, and yet the girl is no longer on the radar to respond and the sinparty crew are holding fort for her. The ones that are empty upstairs resort to abuses because they feel they are superior when they abuse their betters. A low esteemed person criticises while the superior ones reprimands. Check obj letter to buhari. Reprimand and not criticise. Others will call the buhari a fool and a fool is your president and yet you forgot that the leader who is a fool is leading fools. Cars45 rip off a girl who is buying a naija used cars and you guys are shouting fraud. The matter has not brought out any iota of regret that we should fight against things that destroys our cars, that we should take the campaign to all nooks and corners that even if there is no money to maintain cars, use better spark plugs, better oil. You will find that your efforts will go a long way in reducing the hardship that Nigerians go through before they decide to sell their cars for their peace of mind. Rise up , armchair critics, from your slumber and do something for your country. Keep blaming buhari for your inadequacies while buhari is making history in his chosen path. Siddon dey look and the next generation will hiss over your inability to do something to better the society. There are many ideas in the cemetary but cars45 chose to come out and solve a critical problem in the society and you all are calling it fraud. Bring out yours. Like Mtn will say, go start something

You're very stüpid. Didn't kingreign warn you against using his moniker in defence of fraudulence and shady deals? Why you so daft?
Craze dey worry you. Him name pass Trump own . Sinparty crew. You buy car and e loss? Common sense has not made any one of you to tell the buyer to present the car report that she was given. Do you know how much compuglobal charge for car history? She paid deposit and came back to pay the balance and all through, no technician followed her. And you dey speak oyinbo dey abuse your superiors for what does not concern you. Na so something go happen to you and you go dey blame village people

Exactly let the buyer post the report that was pasted on vehicle before purchase.

We are the cause of our problems.

Want to buy clean title 08 Camry for 2 million
Buy car pour Mobil Xhp engine oil.
Refuse to use coolant.
Tell Musa to gauge tyre to 45psi.
Buy 200 naira plug.
Remove thermostat.
Connect fine directly.

Now a company is hear to buy all this crap vehicles and pastes the known faults on them for intending buyers and everyone is screaming.
You nailed the sinparty crew to the road. She did not even tell us what repairs she did before and after the overheating. Did she take it to kingreign in Abuja�when it happened? Cars45 are here to stay and they are the bold and the fearless. These town criers buys 20w50 oils and they never bothered to find out the damage their igmorance has caused. Will all those guys buy these cars as is?

At least I raise cars from the dead.

What have you ever done other than have a negative outlook about life?
Bros leave all these sinparty crew. They claim to be gurus in fixing cars and yet they termed the naija used cars as craps. Does that not make them craps too. I listened to sooperrescue on radio. The interesting thing was the use of 20w50 oils on cars that requires 5w30. It is some of these acclaimed gurus that uses such oil and when the cars fail, they withdraw from it. The one who is abroad and want to bring salvage cars, why can' he bring brand new cars abi dem use US rejected cars do am something? People cane up with cheki, jiji and other platforms where you see a 2006 range rover being displayed as 2012 , where almost all car dealers are under the coverage of cheki and yet they are fraudulent in their claims and no hue or cry. Now you find a group that gives you report of the crap they buy warning you with detailed description and you buy even with the negative report. Bring a mechanic and you come with a novice who can drive cars. Let the car who was defrauded paste the report on that car as was given to her and let us see if there is a difference between the actual state of the car and the report. Cars45 is an idea that has come to stay. Those gurus making our cars crappy should enrol with automedics online training class to raise the bar

Thank you my G. So that same car is also sold in the same state they bought the car. I was told that they always tell the buyers to come with their mechanics when coming for inspection. Who would even buy a naija used without a mechanic first inspecting the car.

How much were you paid for your soul?
Paid? By whom? Judge not bros and read well without sentiments. It is a naija used car and it was taken out from the yard without overheating. Imagine what kazeems rewires do by permanently making the fan to work. Most times they attach the wire to the battery and in changing the battery, the op forgot to put back the wire. You know what will happen. If the issue arose as they were driving home from the cars45 depot, I will join in the shout but after 6 days, haba. Let the Op tell us if the car was overheating when it was presented for uber? He joined nairaland on the 18 of february 2018 just to tell us how he bought a naija used Toyota corolla rightie that overheated after 6 days and then issues began. Who did he take the car to when the issues came up? Timi or gazzuzz or deportivo or kingreign in Abuja or even Mayor2013? A roadside rewire that complicated issues. I wish cars45 will notice me and send me that range rover sport that i once saw there. It will make sense.

So Toyota cars sold locally are to use unleaded premium fuel and it is not even stated on their fuel tank. They know Nigerians don't like reading and so will not paste any information in a place where the owner can read. Highest ddeception. Where are those holy men that were abusing cars45? Come and see the reason why the 17m toyota corolla is failing. It uses 20w50api sl and requires premium unleaded fuel.

Lawyers do faint nowadays. They forced him with a gun on his head to buy the car at 1.6m and used ak48 to force him to sell at 650k after two weeks. If the car faults were not documented and he stiĺl bought the car, it is a gamble that he took and as I learnt,bkind men don't gamble.

Calm down everyone, we are here to learn from each other.
Hayastark:
Let me answer your questions. The car cars45 sold as 2011, drivers seat belt didn't carry the year ( I guess the cleaned it)
The car did not overheat while we were driving it home because like I said the battery was jump started the petrol was low so we didnt put the air conditioner.
We bought the car on Wednesday, uber guy took on sunday called us on tuesday about the over heating, and we sold it back to them 2weeks after. In all less than 3weeks after purchase. Without driving it most of those days.
Let us stop fueling deception in this country, let us stop this dog eat dog situation!!!
Between wednesday and sunday the car never overheated but there were activities going on in the car because you bought new battery and fuel but you never added water or coolant on a car that has been sitting idle in a car lot for months. If Dh knows about cars, he could be able to detect if it was rightie or leftie but because of the beauty, you were carried away and forgot to crosscheck a 1.6m investment. Did you check the water level all the while the car was with you before they called you that it was overheating? Is there a warranty on a naija used car and who dare gives that? Cars45 is an initiative to provide solutions to a problem that no one could resolve. Before in every nook and corner, you will find crap cars being offered for sale and some will rot away while waiting for buyers but the solution these guys provided has practically eliminated the ugly scenario. If they repair the cars they buy from Nigerians before selling them, then we say that they are fraudulent but they sell the cars as they buy and in the same condition that they bought it, they sell with documentation of the faults. Can anyone beat that?

Fellow Nigerians, this is an excellent example of how fraud is now socially acceptable.
Bros hmmmm. Why does Gazzuzz render pre inspection service to would be buyers? To save them from deceitful dealers. If I buy a Nigerian used car from you and you told me that you have been servicing it at Elizade and you have no service history to show, and I in turn sells the car as I bought it from you without any repairs but documenting every issue good or bad with the car for the buyer to be iinfomed and he choose to ignore it, is that fraud? Can you go to Berger and buy toks without a mechanic? So why cry over a car you bought naija used without a mechanic? Autojosh has been writing rubbish in the past but this time he got it right. His question is can Cars45 buy your car in 45 minutes? No one has sold to them and everyone is using the other thread to judge them. They buy a naija used car with severe poor maintenance and sell without repairing it. They have never told the seller that they will pay them after they sell the car, no, they pay cash. Bring a better solution and if you dont have, give them the credit.

You are such an incorrigible liar.

By the way, W12 means 12 cylinder engine in a 'W' configuration.
Read well before you spew rubbish. The first corolla they saw was 2012 and they saw 2009 written on the belt and they moved on. The one he now choose was a 2011 corolla and he did not say he checked to comfirm the date. If you need glasses, i can send one to you because you are in need of one. There was a story on front page about a guy who gives all the details about a car before you buy and people were praising him and meanwhile the craps you call cars are also being documented by cars45 and una say na scam. All you guys could say is scam. Why did the car not overheat when they drove off with the car? How long did the car stay with them before it overheated? This is envy. This cars45 brought new ideas that is a solution in the industry. Bring yours and lets see what solutions that you are providing.

They bought the car with 2008 value and sold with 2010 value advert and bought back at 2008 value to resell at 2010 value again.

How in God's name will a company claim innocence when all the go betweens are fraudulent touts?

The thunder that will fire Autojosh for this paid post is being compressed and supercharged by a W12 engine.
Hahaha unfortunely w12 engines are dead in Nigeria and can't be compressed. I have never bought a car from them but their report on the venza made the clients to back off the deal. The buyer is on Nairaland and he is conversant with those that render inspection service on cars and he never used them. The only place that you can check the year of a toylta is by the driver side door or seat belt and the buyer never checked. Buying a rightie toyota is easy to detect by the power window button on the driver side working for the passenger side. Who are the people selling their used cars? Those who have been made desolate by the choice of mechanics they have and hence would want to get rid of the cars for their peace of mind. A friend once sold his Vw passat 2005 model in 2008 for 150k for his peace of mind. There are also those that sells their cars because of urgent cash needs and the Cars45 buys the car and pay them in full and now takes the risk of selling the same car as they bought it and without fixing anything. And you guys says they are fruadulent? Wake up guys, if they modify these cars before selling, if there is no report before buying, then they are scammers. But tie down their funds in buying crap cars and selling the same cars in their crap condition, they are the victims here o.

Good luck to anyone that falls for this.
Just gone through the thread and I saw no fault with Cars45 there. You only negotiate to pay for what pleases you. If after the deposit they paid, and they took a mechanic along to crosscheck the info on the car, that would have saved them their loss. Besides from which country will a right hand corolla come from? SA or Uk? As is is a condition of you buy as you get. No responsibility on the part of the seller
Car TalkRe: How Cars 45 Ripped Us Off by helpishere(m): 7:28am On Mar 05, 2018
This matter is a let down to our mechanics that nigerian used cars are scraps. It shows clearly that their efforts are not being felt in the general wellbeing of vehicles in the country. An over used car from switzerland will be in good condition than a brand new car used for 2 years in Nigeria. That said, the car overheated on the second day of uber business and not immediately after it was driven out of the yard? What if in the course of buying and fitting new battery, they mistakenly disconnected the fan? What if with the euphoria of getting a new car, they never bothered to check the water level? I have been at their Agindigbi office looking for a venza and I saw a Range Rover sport for 2.5m and I ran past the car and the venza report was so extensive that the clients dedeclin to buy the car. They sell as is and if you guys call those as is craps, then it is a shame on the gurus in the house that the results of their expertise is being questioned. I also went to Cotonou to buy a Range Rover Sport and you can start the car and drive a little around the park but you can never test the gear if it selects above 3 and we paid and taking it out we discovered that the gear was defective. The seller was indifferent and the buyer was shouting himself sick, threatening fire and brimestone and I was not an expert in Range matter , so I managed the car to the border and called for a gear specialist. Gazzuzz himself runs an inspection service and the Op that wants to buy a car did not take advantage of the service to protect her investment. Cars45 are a new idea and they are on the right path. How many used car dealers present a car history details to a client before selling the car.? Even to buy a car at berger, people go with their mechanics and when it comes to used cars with experienced kazeems laying their hands on such cars, you go there and buy without taking a mechanic along. Clap for yourselves

They are not a scam company. I have gone there on many occasions looking to buy a car. The last time was for a venza 2012 being sold for 4m. The comprehensive report they gave for that car was deep and as such you have the option of buying as it is. They sell the car as it is and they let you know rhe true condition of the car before you buy. How many dealers tells their customers the true history of the cars they intend to sell. They bring in salvage cars and fix it and want to sell as it is and until you pay for carfax, then you get the real story behind the car. That is the highest deceit any car dealer will do and they are rampant. Tales abound of cars mileage being reduced to enable the buyer to be happy with his deal but when you scan the car, a whopping 200000kms have been removed. This issue will never occur with cars45 and you will know the condition of the car you are buying up to the point of cigarette lighter. Used car dealers are envious of an idea that is meant to show confidence in the sector. How many times have you seen a car sold on jiji with a good price and when they bring the car for inspection, it is a sorry case?
