Tell him to forget about the past And that you have another buyer. Let someone call him and pose as buyer. Tell him to pay 50% of your commission in advance. Once he pays block him at least you have recovered half .

February 2019..
I sold a car to a man who claims to work at a military establishment. He bought a car worth 1.4m from me and paid 1m. Asked me to follow him to his work place so as to get the balance but being busy, I designated my boy to follow him.
Few hours later, my boy called and was hysterical. The man asked him to come down to check what was bring out smoke from underneath at which there was none.
Immediately he alighted, the man zoomed off with his phone in the car.
He had to use a passerby's phone to call me.
I went to pick him up and we went to the place where he claimed to be working but there was no such person working there.
I was pained as there was nothing to be used to track him. He left with all the documents and receipts...
Ever had such experience, please share as there are lessons to be learnt from such.

What sort of questions is this,get someone to pretend as a buyer for the new car posted,arrange meeting and hold him

Gandollaar:
I was had a Chevrolet Impala which developed what I'll call complications and defied everything done to get it back to shape, so I sold it to someone for half the market value.

Regretfully, the buyer never drove the car one day because he also couldn't fix it. He sold it after spending so much to fix.

I feel bad each time I see the guy.

TPound:
For someone to pay over 50% and asked that I follow him to collect the balance, it will be a waste of time to follow him, collect the balance, come back to the office to bring the documents and take it back to him

My own happens last week, there was this particular dealer who posted his car here in nairaland for sale, so it happened that I have a buyer for the vehicle, I call him and we agreed that he would settle me from the 100k that he tops on the deal.


Not knowing that the owner of the vehicle gave him the vehicle to sale for 1.2m, this guy told me that the owner needs 1.6 +100k for sellers that's 1.7M.


I have to contact my buyer all the way from oyo to buy the vehicle.

After seeing the vehicle, he later paid 1.710m to the guy acc.

This guy gave the owner of the car 1m.
Claiming that his pastor brother that paid for the vehicle, since the owner is also a pastor. He accepted the money 1m.

This guy took 710k to his pocket.

Few hours later, he call me that my buyer has paid for the vehicle ooo that I s forward him my account number. Immediately I forward this guy my account details. This guy blocked all my contacts including in whatsapp where we negotiate every.

I was like going mad.

I have to call him with another number, this was asking me, (guy are you the one that sold the car, what was your efforts, you only help me in br buyer and nothing else. So please stop bothering me) I was shock seeing such write up from human being.



Please how can I track this guy, he just posted another vehicle for sale on his page.

I ventured it for three weeks but ran away due to no experience in how to get customer patronage.

Solatium:
To start with,you don't sound like a real business man to me to more of a car dealer,you sold a vehicle whose value you haven't been paid fully and you issued a receipt,gave the original documents and even released the vehicle.


secondly
If you are ready to spend a little cash you would have retrieve that car,the VIN nbere is all you needed to track the registration details and with the help of police you would have picked whoever is the owner up and if he had sold it,he would have been picked.

to the first, I think he can be forgiven! It was a bitter experience and I'm sure he learnt the hard way.
To the second, don't undermine criminals! Have you heard of VIN swap? They do it to make the vehicle untraceable! If you ever have to buy a car at berger...hmmmmm!! Your both eyes must be wide open!

Someone gave me.a car to sell, infiniti QX56 2011 model, I parked it at a car stand and before you know it the guy I gave at Car stand had an accident with it.... fixing it its over 1m, this has cost me a broken relationship with my partner.

2. Sold another to a guy that came from PH. He sent someone to pick the car. When the car eventually got to him he was disturbing me. -You never told me this and that about the car. After two month he will still call and tell me that "he drove the car to church and the tyre went flat along the road and many other issues that will come along with normal car usage...." Guy, I got mad and told him not to call me again. It was a very tough period for me.

Solatium:

I am fully aware of those,but even with the VIN been swaped if he involved the services of a professional they will still be nab.
Each brand and model comes with its own unique VIN there is no way you will put a VIN of Corrola on Camry or a VIN of Honda on Toyota,even the VIN of two Corrola's can't be swapped without been detected

Mine is car hire ooo

Omo everyday na war cos some customers even though the car is tracked, they either want to run away with the car after paying to hire it for one day or claim that armed robbers attached them or remove the brain box and run away to go and sell it or drive the car out of town against the company policy or refuse to return the car back on time

And it’s very hard to know which customers would give you stress and which one would not give you stress before you give your car out on hire to them

Doing business in Nigeria is sometimes sad, cos once armed robbers or thieves know your business has money in it, how they are coming to come and take their part is what they will start thinking about

Hmm... people are out to defraud their fellow, i had an experience early this year, my cousin introduce me to a man from our hometown who have a Toyota Camry 04 tokunbo. We agreed to HP and I gave him 250k initial payment, and as at March this year have paid well over 1.5m( cos I run d car for Uber). One day this man called me and said he has a friend coming from abroad and will like to have a car to hire during his stay in Naija and does not want anyone to drive him. I sense foul play and send text to d man that if his friend can deposit 2 million in my account, I will release the car. That's d last I heard about the matter.
