I smell cat fish in that. . . . . . . its left to know if its edible
But i feel the the Production date issue should stand given the fall in the price of Cars thanks to Salvage Autos
Hence, with Auto loan and Salvage vehcle, you can get a good car, good mileage and also nice deal
Reviewing the age will to me make this country a dumping yard. . . . . . . .So let the age issue stand. odometer reading can also be included

Meanwhile who told you you can destroy Roman Emperoh in a day?
I will attack your Royalty when the time is right for this statement. . . . .

BB,
We have a deal. . . .Igwe must be dethroned tongue tongue
I hope i can have your help. .  . . . as e be say you get the pass key. .
You will be the Lolo - in - Chief grin grin
How about that?
Emperoh come back here, Its true that we have to do like Romans when we are in Rome but this time around your are in my palace.
By the way, My crocodiles are greeting you. grin grin grin

I have seen Dizzybizzy explain this somewhere before, I need to start paying more attention embarassed


The car in question . . . year to year changes . . . . . . second season . . . . . . second half of 2007 . . . . . . a model tends to only undergo a major change every four or five years . . . . . unless it went through a generational change . . . . . . only difference is trim . . . https://emoticons4u.com/crazy/1087.gif


@ all

What is a trim? Anyone https://emoticons4u.com/sad/666.gif

I don't want to use the internet to research the meaning myself, because I do not want to incur my lolo, Igwe's wrath, that the money he gave me to use to buy textbooks to study Manheim and Adesa Autos, was instead spent on my nails, hair and make-up grin grin grin lipsrsealed

I will pretend I did not hear you call Igwe lolo. We shall know who will be locked inside the kitchen today.
Well, from the site given to us there is different in price between the 2007  and 2008 as follows

Prices  Good  Average  Poor
2007
RDX $25,500-28,500 $23,700-26,500 $16,800-18,800
2008
RDX $29,000-32,000 $27,000-29,800 $20,000-22,100

My question remains which one is advertised on Nairaland? cool cool
Car TalkRe: Where Stolen Vehicles End Up by igwe11(m): 12:52pm On Feb 05, 2009
Please tell me that people don't go for emission inspections, servicing and paper renewal after the first time.
Is not only accident carfax documents but anything that has to do with the vehicle as contained in every carfax report, even auctioning date and exported country atimes.
How can you explain why nothing is recorded for a car for over 3 year and the car suddenly appear in naija as a fresh tokunbo. grin grin grin
I hope to get a sincere answer from you.
cool cool

Gbara ogwu gi nuo ooh!!!
I know that Rome was not built in a day but Roman emperoh can be destroyed in a day grin grin grin, just kidding
I'm not after banned cars since all fingers are not equal perhaps we 're talking of sound car not death trap cars.
Though government will soon amend the bill and focus on the history and odometer readings of the cars instead of the year.
If you watch very well,that law has a lots of fallacy in it.

Emperoh:
I understand you perfectly Igwe
But i am miffed at the tone of his postings. Making it look like we are all criminals selling Salvaged cars
before anyone sells any of such to you, he has to tell you else, take off

Secondly, it has to be fixed before sales.
One secret is this, unless flooded, no car btw 1998 and now will experience engine wahala
be it salvaged or clean. . . so whats the deal with Salvaged title. . . . . . not like we sell lemon
Like the types that are banned that come in thru Cotonou
Your statement about cotonuo cars is like being selfish oooh, we have brothers that bring cars from cotonou and it could be as a result of easy shipping or clearing as naija port isn’t helping matters.
The bottom line is the condition of the car which I’m sure neither naija port nor cotonuo port manufactures cars.
AutosRe: 2008 Acura Rdx Technology Package ( One In Africa, Live With Inspired ) by igwe11(m): 10:20am On Feb 05, 2009
Oga Inspired men,
In as much as the car history is clean with correct advertised mileage, no problems but the model year,not at all,so I had to check the VIN and saw it is 2007 not 2008
So, pls attend to it.
AutosRe: Ridiculous Car Prices by igwe11(m): 9:55am On Feb 05, 2009
Emperoh:
Ziontrain
I beg to differ in most of ya inferences
You are making it look like a crime to buy and sell Salvaged Cars. . . .
I am a small dealer and most of my cars, i buy and fix over there depending on the nature of damage and cost
The least i could do i to purchase the necessary Spare parts and ship it alongside the vehicle
Do the major repairs here, repaint and bingo you are selling.

Now how does it make business sense, to buy a clean title vehicle, ship it and clear
Mark up your profit and then sell at a very high price when your neighbour brings in an accidented car
Does the repairs and looks as neat even neater than your clean title vehicle and sell it at a lower price?
As a buyer, which would you prefer?

The secret for me, is buying cars that their air bags are still intact and with a damage that change of parts can solve
Most of our Panel Beating Technicians are also very good that you do find it difficult to differentiate or identify an accidented car.

Fact is this, i make it clearly known to any buyer that the car is accidented. That way, you would have absolved yourself of any fraud
And in the know that should any issue arise, the buyer has an idea of what happened.

E.g
I bought a 2003 VW Passat for my brothers' use, the car hit a tree and damaged the front left bumper, broke the left headlamps and rear windshield.
Engine still very sound and a wonderful mileage too. . ,  Changing the bumper and spoiler with Headlamps and rear windshield sorted this car for me
And cost me next to nothing. Should i display this car for sale, it will sell fast because of the price, which is what i need

So where is the business sense in buying its equivalent but with neat title and above $15k
Where as this cost me including repairs and shipping a little below $10k

My Point
Disclose the nature of your car to the buyer
Those who sell accidented cars are not fraudsters. Concealing the information is what is fraudlent in itself
To me it makes no business sense. Don't know about you.
Salvaged title sites are open to the public. . . . . . .

Lets stop giving a dog a bad name just to hang it.
It pays no one. . . . . If you need a clean titled car, they are still abound. Just pay the price

VIN displaying is still a notion is support any time any day

Matter of fact 60% of cars being sold in Nigeria has one form of accident or salvage title.


Earthmama
Gone are the days when dealers make like 100% profit
These days, every Tom privates and Harry know who to and how to go about buying cars in US
Every street corner in Lagos has a car with 'For Sale' logo on it
So if your price is higher, someone can give me something lower. . . . .Deregulation according to Economists
You‘re right my brother, I support VIN disclosure but not ban of salvaged cars which am sure Ziontrain is also supporting.
We all know that salvaged cars are cheaper but needs to be told to the buyer upfront so as to know before hand and do the necessary add and subtract on how to get it to shape or  go for the clean titled one.
Safety is important in everything we do in life, shey you know that?
AutosRe: Ridiculous Car Prices by igwe11(m): 9:37am On Feb 05, 2009
earTHMama:
Some people still drive salvaged cars in the US. It depends on what happened to it. Flooded cars and some accidented cars are still drivable here and they are not that cheap.  Remember they are supposed to sell with a very wide profit margin. You cannot get a 2004 flooded Honda here that has been cleaned and flushed ready to drive for about $5k, salvaged or not. Cars take time to sell and i wonder how someone can invest about $10k in a business deal that takes about 6 months to mature only to make a profit in the neighborhood of $1k. Something is seriously wrong.
The highlighted portion is absolutely right based on the fact you used the term ‘’It depends on what happened to it’’.
To be sincere some people sell some cars cheaper in order to solve emergency problems but can only be found with private sellers not  in a dealer’s shop except when the history behide the car is nothing to write home about.
For you(buyer) to get your facts straight, you should use all the available means to look before leaping.
In order to curb some of these mishaps on nairaland, VIN/chassis no, pictures and the full details of every advertised car are required.

Busy_body:
Okay so you are not bothered about stolen cars being resold as naija used cars on NL, since you did not table the motion for them to display their own VIN numbers too cheesy

Now I am starting to get you small small, sorry we started off on the wrong footing wink

I am gonna be watching this space closely in case the Igwe decides to launch his own car dealership too and start marketing "naija used cars" grin grin grin tongue

FYI, a car could have the latest VIN report and still have beenn stolen, it takes an average of 3 weeks for a ship to sail from US to Nigeria cool Go figure wink
Lolo, you ought to have asked me this at home nawn,  wink wink  I was only reacting at kaypinch's post.

But when I said wide margin, I meant over 1 year. I 'v seen a car advertised with it's last recorded history to be 2005 while the dealer hyped it as fresh tokunbo as at December 2008, grin grin though I'm just guessing sha. undecided undecided

you 're right, It happens atimes.
That's why we encourage everybody to ask for the VIN/chassis no. to know when last the car history was recorded in usa or alike.
If it has wide margin, that could be one of the stolen naija used metamorphosed tokunbo cars. smiley smiley smiley smiley
