Lol...you believe the clown? Lost 800k and that is what he can put up...

Nigerians

nnacent:
Oga, if ever u lost 800k to these scam artists, the least u can do is to add your voice in condeming all unethical buisness practices and not to say d OP made mistakes. when u buy things online(ebay, etc) dont u pay b4 delivery? I understand dat it is risky if d seller is not ebay or d likes but for people like chuck234 who are trying to get d goodwill similar to dat of ebay, aliexpress and d likes. they need to act likewise

Nice one @ dolls for this post/thread. And I appreciate all customers for stating their views on this issue. It enables us to improve on the areas we lack behind.
The truth is no one is perfect. Myself I don't put prices on some cars I post online....but I have my reasons. Because to some extent someone who is really serious in buying a car can spare 100naira to call and make enquires. Even in OLX or other sites...if you see a car you like...you will still call the seller. Some people recharge their phones with above 5k and call their girlfriends.....so why cant one spare just 100naira to make enquires for a car. Aside that....whatsapp & BBM is there to interact/communicate if one is managing the airtym. But most times when we fix price....some Nigerians still contact and will just waste your time. Let me give a scenerio;
How can someone contact for a 2008 Lexus rx350 of 3.5m-3.8m.....after sending several pictures..after several days discussing on d cars...he now said budget is 1.8m.....and from beginning I asked for budget yet the person refused to drop a budget. Different scenerios that iu can't mention all.

Some buyers are just out to waste precious time. We are very serious people. Car business is a very serious business. Some people said some car prices are high. Yeah its the truth......cos u can't expect all car prices to be the same. People go abroad to import cars and they get them in different prices....so if Mr. Apple is selling for 4.5m.......Mr. Ball can sell for 4.8m. Because all cars cannot be in same condition...or have exactly same mileage. Good sound Cars also determine safety of lives....so u dont expect us to sell anyhow car. These are the things buyers need to understand.

Aside that...as dollz said....most times the fault is from the owner of car who imported it and brought it to showroom for us to display/market. They stand on their take home price and there's nothing we sellers can do. Then most of these Tokumbo cars we work on them after its brought into naija.....because they were used abroad too.....so you don't expect them to be 100percent. After we have changed several things to make d car look perfect....paying mechanic....and other expenses....you don't expect the car to be same anymore. So price will go up a bit.

Aside that everyone can't be the same. Everyone don't reason same way....some people say some sellers are arrogant. Yes its d truth....not all dealers understand customer service and how to relate with customers. Education also goes a long way into relating with people which most dealers lack....cos not every dealer is well educated. Some dealers just go into the business because of the profit they can make...which make them to be very greedy....they are not passionate about the biz at all. Then sometimes customers do push us to the wall.....we are humans as well....we are not robots cos d cars we didn't steal them. There are times buyers will price a car as if its tomatoes....you don't expect us to be happy. There are so many things to be said but I'll just reserve my comments for now.

May God help us all. Then truth is that we need you guys (buyers)....cos without you we can't make sales....and we can't pay bills.

I doff my hat for you brother!!

If the section is bad....then its the dealers we should blame. Dealers like the Op Dollz.
She said that people price cars like crayfish from Oyingbo. Just imagine the Arrogance?

You want to sell a car and I should not price? And why won't I price a car and know what it costs before leaving my place to come check the car out?

So u think I will waste my time and energy to come and inspect your car, then I like it and you tell me some bullshit price after wasting all my time?

Forget all that nonsense you just said Dollz, reasonable people will price and know what their budget is before setting out.
Do you expect anyone to come and be viewing a car that they can't afford?
When they come and see the car and then they can't afford the price in the long run of what good is that?

In all sincerity I find the auto dealers on Nairaland very arrogant and full of themselves.
They behave as if they are doing their prospective clients a favor.

They won't answer any questions from clients, and later just like this Op they will call it "Crayfish Pricing". Just imagine?

1. Check out the post of dealers here, maybe two pictures only, picture of the tyres alone and the back seat. And when u ask them for more pictures they say, call or come for inspection.

Won't you know the value of what u want before spending money to go and see the "junk" car they have for sale?
Or u think everyone stays in Lagos like most dealers?


2. She said people on Olx are more forthcoming, well since OLX doesn't have space to interact with sellers except to make calls, they may be calling but how many people believe in OLX and its credibility?

3. Olanshi, u sef dey open mouth for here....I laugh at you.
All your cars are over priced and out of range from the "average market price" and u want people to buy from you?
Guy, go and learn that to sell a car, you don't want to put all your gains in just one deal.
When a Nairaland dealer will want to gain 300k on just one ride? Who will come and buy from you?

4. Finally, i will advice you dealers to always make sure u post detailed pictures of cars u want to sell. Full engine pix, front pictures, both sides, rear view, dashboard, front seats and back seats....that's a total of 7 pictures.
Is that too hard to do?

5.
And all these yeye believe that a serious buyer will call you is nothing but a fallacy!!
I have helped a lot of friends and Family source cars here on Nairaland successfully.
I will see a good car and the moment you refuse to put a price I won't call you.!!!
Why do u want to sell a car and don't want people to know the car price? Na free?

And then when we ask the Dealers questions, all they will keep saying is "Available", " Going ".
Going to where? Nonsense people.

If u dealers stop being arrogant and silly maybe more people will be buying cars from y'all.
