hi inspired, can i get a toyota corolla american specs, 2003/2004 model with low millege? And @ what price; if available. You can contact me on 08029998157. Thanks.

EI:
Inspired,
At least me I don call you, and na only small shishi you remove that last purchase

Anyhow, how u dey? Dis thing fit go for the price range I give you de last time we talk? The person wey need the knock-about car no get too much time to wait O!!!!

abbyode:
I don't know why we are like this? I mean we Nigerians,
Why do we have to be making issues out of nothing?
If inspiredman has actually defrauded anybody on this forum, can't the person come out and speak?
Someone has sold 97 cars and not even one person can accuse him of any fraud, haba.
What else do we want from this man called Inspiredman.

People said he should post vin numbers of all the cars he has sold on nairaland, but are the vin numbers hidden on the vehicles he has sold? And why can't the so-called defrauded people check the vin numbers on their vehicles to refute any claims inspired might have made for them?

A beg, letz leave this guy alone in his one-room apartment in maryland, because i don't know when that has become a crime. Also, when has being a middleman become a crime when u have not defrauded anyone? If u request a vin from him personally and he's not revealing it then u should move on to the next dealer. If you are so serious and curious about any of his advertised vehicle, then u should go and inspect the car in his so-called baranda office and copy out the vin for yourself, simple!

We should please leave this young man alone because if most of our youths should have his business sense then we shouldn't be having employment issues in the country.

Mind you I do not know inspiredman from anywhere , i am only being objective in this matter.

nkc:
zion

may i butt in.

at this juncture please do me a favor as an old friend

just leave inspired and his VIN, if u see a thread made by inspired, just pass over it, let everyone do business with whomever they trust, and be 'defrauded' by same or more, its simple CAVEAT EMPTOR

please for my sake relax oh, thanks

well don't really have much too say, but its quite bad for this to be happening. i am a dealer myself and have had this fraudulent accusation levelled against me when i posted an add months ago on trying to help people with cotonu vehicles at a legitimate way. Though i briefly responded and was backed up by Viperman, credibility is a key attribute we must possess when running business like this on nairaland.

Also as regarding info, like VIN number, Pictures e.t.c SORRY guys but as for me i don't do that again because i have personal experiences (not once , twice but even five times when i lost a deal through that means.You mite be wandering how, but i won't explain now.

Please Explain, Probably these guys lost in The western World would Understand Our N[quote author=idupaul ]aija Situations better
.

If Inspired was fraudulent God will expose him, but as a fellow dealer to another, i can't say much for now

I would rather go along with most nairalanders asking VIN numbers to be published on so that all this wahala of arguing no go dey go on and on and on. Inspired_men, if you can't provide the VIN numbers of your cars, then i bet there is something fishy about you. It doesn't cost you anything proving that to your fellow nairalanders.

I WILL PROVIDE THE VIN NUMBER ON MY CARS ONLY AND ONLY WHEN A BUYER REQUESTS FOR IT, That will Remain as long as Nairaland Remains, And as long as THE ADMINISTRATOR of the Website Who probably Understands from my point of View doesn't Object to it

[quote author=bol_exy link=topic=175059.msg2845389#msg2845389 date=1222238388]i am indeed amazed at the posts some gentlemen and ladies have put forward. uhm!! here we go again in our beloved naija! now let me throw some light on certain issues already discussed:

1) VIN - also known as vehicle identification number - easily seen at the bottom corner of the driver's side windscreen. can be accessed by anyone intending to buy a vehicle. knowing that we are in an imperfect market in nigeria, it would be best to gothe extra mile to personally retrieve this number and do a self-check on carfax.

2) to get a VIN check, even in the USA you have to pay for it, except otherwise stated, i wonder why nigerian want to get VIN check for free!

3) are ALL ACCIDENTED cars bad? surely not! as long as the accident does not affect the chassis, its cool. i recently bought a handa accord 2003, brought in through a friend, after one glance at the vehicle, i didnt need a VIN check to know its an accidented car! but it sure drives like heaven, my friends avnt stopped pleading that i allow them drive it, took it to honda place and the engine was given an excellent clean bill of health.

4) do i know inspired? no. but i have met him several times in my search for a vehicle and i regert not buying a honda accord 2004 from him. all auto dealers were in the habit of rolling back odometer reading before we all woke to this fact and with the advancement of the internet, cheating was easily identified, even in the USA this is done!

5) inspired is a business man, and his focus is to make profit, you don't have to own a car before you can sell, you could be a middle man and i see nothing wrong with that!

6) is the pre-order business good? yes of course! would i go into it? surely not! why? simple, i had a nasty experience with the arrangement that brought my car, i made advance payment to my friend since feb 2008 and i didnt get the car until aug 2008! and this is a guy we'v known for over 10 years! so i resolved that the next car i buy from inspired will be here in naija and i will pay in full.

i rest my case!

akuya:
The only thing that is certain here is that Yahoo and Inspired know each other and they are birds of a feather. Everyday as we say, is for the thief.

Inspired, why is it so difficult to defend yourself by posting the VIN of the recent cars you've advertised here when that action with exonerate you completely? There can be only one rational explanation, which is that, the act will further expose you. Who knows it might even reveal that some of the cars are stolen.

I believe another regular poster here, Kuntash, just wrote that you told him that it only takes 40 minutes to roll back a car's mileage. Is he also a liar and someone with bad belle, trying to bring you down? Posting the VINs on your recent postings will clear things up. DO THE RIGHT THING!!

Mr. Seun, I implore you once again that you require dealers to post the VIN numbers of cars 8 years and newer with the exception of those of brand new cars. This will sanitize the site and get rid of these criminals. If as some are saying, it is customary to roll back mileage in Nigeria, your site does not have to provide the avenue for this crime. Everyone except the crooks will benefit from this singular act of VIN posting.

This Inspired is now hiding under the fact that you are silent on the issue. This site is yours and we appreciate your hands off stance and the freedom you provide. But sir, you cannot allow criminal elements to infest your site. I trust that you will intervene. The number of replies to this thread should reveal that you probably need to make an exception here and require VIN numbers to be posted as requested. We shall all be better off. Only the crooks will have nothing to gain by this requirement.

Thank you sir.

UB:

idupaul:
EXACTLY, THIS seems to be a case of bad belle against one of nl most successful car dealer. why did mr yahoo have to mention the one bedroom flat in a fraud accusation, since when has staying in one bedroom become fraud, mr yahoo has nt succeding in providing us a single case ,instead he is just laying false accusations in what seem like a desperate bid to slander mr inspired on the turf that made him successful NL.

adechuks:
Exactly my views.

Anyone having less than 20 posts cannot be seen as authentic.

omodunni:
Mr Yahoo Yahoo i believe this forum is for adults who have the ability to settle their disputes amicably and without washing their dirty laundries in public. I would advice that you take up your personal issues with Mr inspired at his one bedroom flat in Maryland, and if there is a professional issue that you feel we should be made aware of, kindly state your facts in a proficient and dignified manner. The users of this forum are not touts and should not be addressed as yobbos who are supposed to meddle in street fights.
Your job description while working with Mr Inspired reveals that you were nothing more than a ccourier staff at best. And if i were the business owner i would not dole out more than N100 per day for your schedule of duties.
On the odometer issue, you have no basis for attacking Mr Inspired because if what you say is true and he used to rollback the odometer then you are an accessory to the crime committed and you benefitted from the ill-gotten gains. So who are you to stand as a saint and pass judgment on other? Mr Yahoo Yahoo i say shame on you!
I have personally bought two cars from inspired and i do not have a complaint.[/b[b]] Several of my friends have also patronised him and have found him reliable and trust worthy. Please don’t come to this forum and lay claims without hard evidence. Your accusations have been found wanting and lacking of merit and character.
Inspired as never told me or my friends that he resides in California, rather i have always known him to trade on western avenue. As to the fact that he doesn’t have an office, that can be explained as part of the travails of a young struggling man. Also the fact that he doesn’t own any of the cars he advertises is really not a cogent issue because i have never been accosted for driving the car sold to me by inspired neither has anybody disturbed me from peaceably enjoying my car.
AMALA AWETU meaning NOTHING SHALL DISCOURAGE US: I SAY NOTHING SHALL DISCOURAGE US FROM BUYING CARS FROM MR INSPIRED BECAUSE HE INSPIRES OUR TRUST AND HAS NEVER GIVEN US CAUSE TO DISTRUST HIM.

On a last note, i advice that you take stock of your words and refrain from biting the finger that fed you and stop being the same old Nigerian who tries to destroy his fellow progressive citizen at all costs. Let Naira land move forward, Let Nigeria be at Peace and let us all buy cars and enjoy driving them.
