@Promise72 I recal you tried to push back at this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-251650.0.html, where I had warned people to beware of certain vehicles. Are you really happy for the work OYENIT is doing? |

WHY DOES THE MONITOR KEEP DELETING MY POSTS  DID I SAY SOMETHING WRONG AGAIN??FIRST POST @Mr monitor_1 whhy are we trying to make a turn around on the rules in the auto section ?your thread link you posted was put up by Seun(the admin) on the 30th of July 2005,that states in very simple words the rules that guides the forum,Jesarmy came up with the suggestions on the Auto section and there were some rules also listed so as to guide the auto section,which was accepted in general by everyone.it was openly agreed that there should be no derailment of threads and if you read this, please maybe there is a speck in my eye, but i know there are planks in other people eyes,Dear Nairalanders, May I seize this opportunity to appeal to everyone in the house especially those who are in the habit of derailing car adverts intentionally cum unintentionally,truth is the advert is derailed all the same. My proposition would be that when an advert is posted and the seller have included the vin# of the car,if on checking the vin report of the vehicle we notice a discrepancy on the vin report and the seller's advert,I think the first point of call should be to email the seller on the discrepancy and give him or her a chance to rectify it before bringing it to the open forum. I believe it is a good thing to protect the buyer but at the same time we should not do it in a way to pull down the seller's business.Please let us be our brother's keeper and go about correcting each other in an atmosphere of love and mutual respect. Thank you and God Bless, Jesarmy Smiley Smiley your mail you sent to me reads that you only check threads that have been reported to the moderator,why is that so?? SECOND POST DID YOU SEND THE SAME MAILS YOU SENDING ME TO GESTAPO,WWHEELZ AND PROMISE72?? |

rebony: [b]rebony, This is much better. I deleted those posts because they did not belong on Carshopper's thread and I told you to start your own thread if you have particular issues that are unrelated to the dealer's car. To answer your question, thread derailment should be discouraged since the posts involved would usually be unproductive communications, which are specifically in violation of forum rules. As a moderator, I intervene when I read such a post, or once my attention is called upon, when such a derailment is occuring. I don't recall anyone reporting a post to the moderator in the last 24 hours. Please don't hesitate to press the "report to moderator" whenever you see a need. I also try to use PM and other subtle means to communicate with forumites. We need to encourage as many dealers as possible, we want everyone to be successful. Every dealer is also entitled to defending him/herself when confronted with accusations such as blatant odometer rollback. Let's just strive to keep our communications clean. Monitor_1[/b] |

naijaking1: You got it wrong pal. I wasnt trying to push backon anything. There is nothing wrong with Salvage vehicles. As long as its properly repaired. Salvage vehicles are drive here in the US everyday. Why this issue is different is the odometer rollback that these guys are doing. That is theft. That is deceit. That is wrong. There was a Lexus Jeep that rolled back as much as 75,000 miles!  Another Camry was rolled back as much as 100,000 plus miles. Why i really commend Oyenit is the fact that he went thru all the posting and actually posted all the VIN records. That takes a lot of time and efforts. It goes back to my point of tryin to get something for nothing. Remember i said that? The impression that vehicles are cheap here is what will make these sellers fall prey. They want all the features on the car (leather, A/C, Navigation etc etc) and dont wanna pay much. That is where the problem lies. |

The summary of the matter is this: Fraudsters do not make headway Selling cars is a multi-million naira business, due diligence should be the norm, not the exception  If you claim to be a carshopper or seller or broker or dealer, the least you can do is use your credit card (issued by some Nigerian banks) to obtain a vehicle history report, specify if you're using Carfax or Autocheck (info is sometimes contradictory depending on which you are using) and VERIFY the mileage. It takes a lot of time and effort to build a reputation but it takes a lot less time and effort to destroy it. Anyone who has anything to say to me, feel free to say it on this thread or create another thread. Very truly yours, wwheelz  |

selling cars is a huge business and pple know that. even dealers at the popular berger car lots, and we still get bad cars from there and funny pple still visit there, not alone berger sef, opebi, maryland and others, so if you come to nairaland you learn a lot cause everyone here is out to teach, correct, fight and be friends again , like my friend wwheelz, i call him my friend cause that is what he is, a friend, "a friend is one who would tell you, GUY YOU F, UP" and that that is what he has been doing all day, druming it into my ears that GUY you gud and i dont expect LESS from you   |

@Oyenit, I would like you to know that you are doing a great service and it is well appreciated ,however I would like to make a suggestion on how this service can be improved upon when it is being done for a dealer that has not solicited for it. If it is not too much of a problem can you kindly send the report directly to the dealer and give them a chance to rectify any error/disrepancy they might have posted in their ad against the carfax report. However if after private notification the seller ignores to clean up the unintentional or intentional mistake then let the sheriff do the job and post it on the open forum. If this approach is followed it would save a sincere dealer a lot of embarrasment,thread derailment and all sorts as was the case with this ad.It would promote peace,provide constructive criticism and an atmosphere of genuine friendliness. Once again I sincerely appreciate your effort in keeping the forum clean because my firm believe is that "righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to any set of people"and "whatsoever a man sows,that he would reap". |

Waoh! I quit selling cars on this forum because I cannot compete with dubious people who sell cars here for the same price I buy cars from U.S. By the time I add the shipping and clearing cost, the vehicle is like 700,000 naira more than the price a person who buys salvaged cars would sell his own. These people need to be checked out and banned from selling cars on this site because it is not fair when you put a salvaged car on this site without declaring it is a salvaged. Some of them even even roll back odometer. Some even post VIN Number of another car of the same brand they trying to sell. It is not just fair to people who buy clean tittle cars and try to do clean business. Just declare your car is salvage if it is. Don't give excuse of somebody gave the car to me to sell. Make sure you check the Carfax Vin Report before you post a car for sale. If you are found to be dubious and deceitful, then you should be banned from selling on this forum. Oyenit Please keep up the good work. God bless! |

Its a funny thing in Nigeria that anyone trying to do a good deed is always under a threat of being run out of town. I am glad that Oyenik doesnt live in Nigeria cos i am sure that ppl will have showed up at his door with thugs if they know where he/she lives. All he did is post the VIN report of vehicles posted for sale. He didn't make up the VIN. Facts will be facts regardless of if we wanna face it or not. I am very glad that this VIN is not being recorded Nigerians. It wouldn't even worth the paper its written on. It takes a deliberate and concerted effort to roll back odometer. SOMEONE KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING!. I am not even faulting the sellers at this point. Even its possible that the person who bought it in the US was duped too. But as a dealer/seller, the fact remains that YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT U SELL!. Period.! Regardless. If someone loan you a car and police find drugs or dead body in the boot, the fact remains that you are in possession of that car at that point. You are responsible. The issue is not whether salvage or not, HONESTY about the product is the issue here. If i am a buyer, i want to know correct mileage cos of maintenance issues like timing belt. Why should i pay like N5m for a car only for timing belt to go in a year cos i am not aware of correct mileage? That will be an expensive fix. May be the sellers should do a good job of checking before posting vehicle. Nairaland auto section didnt get here one day. WE GREW TO IT. Requesting VIN wasn't a criteria before until, So as double checking VIN wasn't the"in" thing before but it will be in a minute. Everybody don shine eyes So back off OYENIT. Hes doin a fabulous job. More blessing |
| Re: There's A New Sherrif In Town. Oyenit Is The Name. Bigups. by Jesarmy(f): 1:00am On Mar 30, 2009 |
@Oyenit, I have no problem with you posting carfax reports and exposing fraudulent dealers,in fact I support it wholeheartedly. The suggestion I made was to foster peace and give sincere dealers who have made genuine mistakes an opportunity to correct it before it is brought to the open forum.Note I did not say dont bring it to the open forum and you should also notice the use of the word sincere dealers.I believe there is hardly any body who has not made a sincere mistake on the job at one time or the other and I do not think we would be very happy if our first point of notification would be at a departmental meeting or the GM's office . Since my suggestion seems dishonest and self serving in your own opinion by all means go ahead with your style of doing things,I have no quarell with it .Like I said before a man would reap whatsoever he sows.@all, Let me make myself clear,I am not in any way supportive of fraudulent dealers who deliberately continue to post ads that are in discrepancy with carfax reports to mislead buyers.VIN disclosure is a must on the forum and if by extension forumites would like carfax reports to be included as a rule on car ads,I am for it. Shalom, Jesarmy |

promise72: Seconded! It's called DUE DILIGENCE. Being a middleman is no excuse, you put your name and reputation out there when you sell. If you are not sure about the vehicle history, make concerted efforts to get it - even Nigerian banks issue credit cards. All you need to obtain Carfax or Autocheck is a credit card, for crying out loud. If you proclaim yourself to be in the business of selling cars, consider cost of obtaining the report part of your business expenses. It's approx USD55 for unlimited reports for 30 days. If you can't/won't get the history, you can indicate that on your advert but be ready to experience buyers angst - not fair, but that's life. Whether you are a professional middleman or dealer is beside the point, if you claim to be a professional whatsoever then the least you can do to build and protect your name is know your product. Being a middleman is no excuse for odometer rollbacks, nobody knows the lagbaja or tamedu who gave you the car, you are it!! There continues to be a market for salvage vehicles, ask for the accident report prior to importation as that will detail what went on. The key to selling salvaged vehicles is to reflect their history/status in their price. A salvage vehicle could be a simple fender bender or it could be a lot worse. Salvage get level!!! |

@wwheelz, I am not sure if a naija based car seller can register an account with carfax,I am talking zipcode and a us based address,let me know if you have an info regarding this. |
| Re: There's A New Sherrif In Town. Oyenit Is The Name. Bigups. by Nobody: 1:32am On Mar 30, 2009 |
Jesarmy: In that case, I stand corrected. So, for the Naija-based car dealers, what's the way forward? My suggestion above was: If you can't/won't get the history, you can indicate that on your advert but be ready to experience buyers angst - not fair, but that's life.i.e buyers may automatically assume the worst. Please understand me clearly, I'm not saying (and have never said) don't sell salvaged vehicles. Most budgets for purchase on this site are afterall, in the salvaged car region because money is hard to come by for the average Nigerian. All I'm saying to sellers is know your product by checking the history. "I didn't know" is only good for one try, not multiple incidents. It's simply about taking ownership. Having said that, I'm sure most people would agree that you're not into wayo yourself. As you said (or maybe it was someone else), a seller can make a mistake. The frequency of occurence is the issue, two times is one too many but three, four, five?? |

The self-appointed saviour of the pity party, his eminent personality Master Oyenit is only able to do His jawdroppingly-outstandingly-out-of-this-world-servicesarcasm intended solely because the VIN number was already provided. People that provide free checks in this section are ten-a-penny, so anyone who wants to buy a car and requests for a VIN check from one those providing it out of their good heart would PICK UP THE SAME INFORMATION THAT MASTER OYENIT THE DEFENDER OF THE DEFENCELESS IS PROVIDING, ABI NO BE SO I know witchhunting when I see one, anyone who has a problem with my observation can go kiss a powergrid or go bite a livewire for all I care |
