Bought a Mitsubishi Outlander... Very clean interior and exterior, sound engine and gear, ac intact too... It was even fairly cheap. Later got home to discover that all the underparts are bad and rusty... All metals beneath are very rusty... To even change the tires, na war to unscrew the nuts. All the beam and chassis are so bad that at a point, I couldn't carry more than 3 passengers. I sold it at a loss to a gullible buyer like me too. One of my plenty errors in 2022 34 Likes 4 Shares |

My experience is good and not bad . I used a mechanic to check it before I made payment. I drove it from Abuja to Benin the only thing that failed was the tyre went down, I was surprised to see spare in the booth of the car, I really thank God that day. Some dealers are good while some are devil's incarnate. My advice to prospective buyers, let mechanic inspect it before you buy and don't be penny wise pounds foolish. I think the ops is trying to advise prospective buyers on this. 20 Likes 3 Shares |

Well I accompanied a close friend to buy a 2008 Honda civic. They brought the car to us and the car was breezing cool ac. Engines looked neat and everything was attractive in the car. Unknown to us, that very air conditioner is very terrible. We spent close to 100k to completely replace the air conditioner. From fault to faults that car has been giving my friend. Next time we would take a real mechanic to a car stand and choose not someone bringing for us. 5 Likes |

Bought a tokunbo Mercedes Benz here from a very popular and trusted Nairalander. Due to his reputation here, I just sent my friend who is based in Lagos to go check out the car and bring it down for me. Before payment, the seller identified some issues such as leaking exhaust and AC. I agreed to fix some and sent money to him to tidy up the ones he could attend to immediately as he had loads of jobs at hand. Fast forward to 1 year, after battling with the car like I was tending to a cancer patient. I got to discover that I te hnically bought a rotten water melon: The engine was tampered with, probably from the US where he imported the car from. As in the engine has been opened before. The AC leakage never got sorted out. Omoh, I spent over 800k on the AC alone, yet no positive result. The Indomie was tampered with, I had to replace the exhausts - cost me over 200k. This is outside some other small small issues I was came up almost on a daily basis. I sold the car after spending a lost the same amount I bought the car, on repairs and replacement of dead parts. Bad experie ce I would say, but I learnt never to trust anyone, no matter the name you have made for yourself. 26 Likes 1 Share |

Why do we need car inspection, because over 90% of Nigerians buy used cars, yes even the ones that come from abroad need inspection because they re used . Car inspections are good if done by professional mechanics, not just people who are into it for money? Honesty is key , I have seen car inspection done without any real physical inspection , like how it was done in the days of Cars45. Misleading and deceptive. If you re buying a used Nigerian car, prepare your self for some serious maintenance work, especially if the previous owner did not maintain the car well. 9 Likes 1 Share |
