You guys are really sounding half smart with this commission of a thing. Pardon my use of words on this. I'll let some things fly only if I want too. If I am selling a car to you and I know the problem of the car. For God sake it is my number you will have, it is my picture that will be on the affidavits and if anything happen it is my name on the plate number police will trace. I can not allow one agent to put me thro undue stress. Hardly any naija used car the buyer won't call the seller to ask stupid questions. So if I allow someone to use me as an instrument to sell a car worth 1m for 1.5m with the mindset of its not my business. When kasala burst, hope I won't be force to vomit what I didn't eat.

NB : agent is meant to close the gap between buyer and seller and not to take money on behalf of buyer outside his own share. Abi nah agent una they pay house rent give if una won go rent house or buy land?


I grow as crook, before you go fit run me street, your format go strong. If you as agent go over greedy on my stuff, you won't even understand how me and the buyer end the matter for your back. If you like know after sales, you sha cant ask me not to sell my thing to who I desire.

No, what I mean is that Felicity too may not have known the full extent of the damage in d car if it actually looked good physically. So we can't completely blame him for marketing and selling a bad car. It's possible he also was deceived, plus the fact that Fasasi's mechanic came along, then we can't completely crucify Felicity for the discoveries afterwards.
As for the fight, let's leave that completely cos d mechanic is not here, we don't know what caused d fight and since both parties have said mechanic eventually collected 50k then it's proof the money ontop was shared by other parties involved in the deal.

Come to think of it, did Fasasi's mechanic who is his relative not collect anything for that service? I am sure he did, so why will strangers also not collect their share?

As for ur NB; I always advise anyone buying a naija used car to keep extra 200k for seen and unforeseen repairs afterwards. So even though u think u have bought a good car, u must still do one or two to ur taste.

Itsrm:


Exaxtly. And the truth is, even if you take 10 of gazz.uzz to inspect a car, there are issues you will never notice till you start using the car.

For a car the owner was willing to sell at 650k and seeing how every other person who has bought the car has had issues with it, I would not be surprised that both mechanics did not know the full extent of repairs needed. If trained mechanics could not detect it, difficult to pass the blame to Felicity.

On the issue at hand

Greatn3ss:

Sir I sent you a mail

FASASI1:




The mechanic I brought said it's a good car, even he was saying the money is too much and Felix should reduce the money but I told him I trusted Felix judgement and because he was running mouth and telling me I can't spend more than 100k to fix, I decided to choose Felix over the mechanic. Even the person was saying Felix should give us some days we want to verify the documents and call the real owner but he said he has done that already.


Inclusion, Felix mechanic said Felix know the condition of the car before he sold it out, now, when you know the car is a problematic car why did you decided to add outrageous amount on it ?? I ended up spending more than my budget.


If you guys call it business, what if morals ?? What of integrity ?? He lacks everything. Money go finish but your name na black book he go day.

After adding 150k, he still told me to pay settlement fee who does that Is that how business works ?? I was in to selling of mifi too and I did my business with honesty, if a mifi develops fault after the customer had bought it, I will be the one to sort it out even when this mifi is brand new o, tear pali but I don't care of that, I will choose relationship over business.

Even the 650k its not worth it, like I said my mechanic said the engine is good so the car is good but as a car dealer you know if take more than good engine for a car to be good.

Itsrm:


Na people like you dem dey even run street right under your nose and you won't know

To the issue at hand, Let's say you're an agent. I want to buy a car and contact you, the owner of the car told you the price is 650k last but because you know people will always like to bargain, you tell me it's 800k.

I come to you and price the car to 750k and you tell me to bring money. I pay you 750k and pick up the car. What will you do with the remaining 100k? Will you give it to the car owner that you sold it at 750k or you'll give it to the buyer?

PS: I'm not saying this is what happened here. I'm just asking you a hypothetical question.

Even if na person mama, anyone who leaves their own daily hustle to assist someone else with a scheme of making money, expects/deserves to be adequately compensated in some manner. Anywhere in this world. The only exceptions are when someone is being assisted so that they can recover from a bereavement or an il!ness.

It's the same greedy naija mentality that makes someone expect another person to run around business-wise on their behalf, for free. That's why I will continue to say, we don't have a culture of being honest with each other in this part of the world. Every Nigerian grows up and starts looking for a mugu, we need to do better!

FASASI1:



But he is claiming the car he sold was good, nobody is above mistake.

If a seller is willing to sell for that amount something is definitely wrong and since the car goes for N1m for naija use, all I thought was maybe he just want to sell for 800k since that is the amount I was aware of but for the fact that Felix knew the price the owner wanted to sell which was 650k was too good to be true he could have used his brain that is if he had one but what did he do instead He added 150k to it

izzou:


I go sell an 1.950

As long as we have no agreement, i owe him absolutely nothing

By the time you do this to three agents, let's see how long it will take to sell your cars

Your area now hot cake now....

izzou:


Everybody is an agent.

Abi agents get their own personal buyers for their phone?

When you put your product online, and your price is a great bargain, you'll get calls. Or is that not what agents do here on NL?

As long as me and am no get agreement, i will not lose my gain for some agent that has nothing to lose.

So make i pursue customer and lose 2M because of person 400k?

Never!

There are the reasons I hate working on the men land, island you can even beat traffic lights do anyhow you like in the presence of LATsma and go but you dare not try it in Ikeja, surulere or Yaba.

Itsrm:


Cars are not necessarily like that because there's a limit to how much you can shave off the price to create a bargain.

Selling a car is more than just putting an ad online. There's even a popular saying that "na mouth dem take dey sell motor". If you don't have it, you don't have it.

Even if you have it, the more the people who also have it and are bringing deals for you, the better and faster your sales will be. You can't start discouraging people who bring deals for you because they inflated the price especially when you've made your own profit.

pope191:


I am not judging Felicity or will I jugde Fasasi too. We are only counter attacking views. If both Felicity and Fasasi's mech does not know the condition of the car? Then we can as well exempt the mechanic that initiate the call to Felicity about not knowing the problem of the car and as well the owner for selling a benz for 650.

I think all the blame should just be heap on fasasi for trying to by a Benz of 650 while expecting heavenly ride. On the flip he may have been misled to think that could take him far. But by who? I don't know

Let me be blunt with you here boss. I have 2 mech Bishop and Uzor. I once say all cars have it value regardless of how bad it is. They know what they will call me for and what they will take far from me. The only place I won't fault the owner is, for him to reduce a car to 650k plenty plenty werey deh the car body.

Pearl1910:


A picture of the car will say alot.
Also, We weren't there, so we can only conclude from the partial gist released here. Maybe Felicity didn't want to give the mechanic his cut that's why punches came out. My take on this matter is clear, both parties have fault.

Barbiturate:


Hot cake......as in request?

Now, dealer was to go home with 100k while owner was to go home with 500k... The owner was already fed up with the car he just wanted to sell it off even at a lost

This hustle dey funny sometimes, navy town wey be say i vow never to go there. Na there bolt first throw gimme this morning. I went there with hope, from there i see jara mall return trip.

Felicity001:


Reason for the fight was simply because the guys thought I tried by cutting them by calling the owner unknowing to them I only tried to verify the car owner.

Again since Faruq already disclosed the amount to him N800 they now believe I also tried to stop their own settlement from the dealer/owner.

Infact the whole bubble got bursted on everybody's face. The dealer was actually gonna also settle them even at N650k... 50k I supposed

They sold to me @750 so their money was 100k.

Now, dealer was to go home with 100k while owner was to go home with 500k... The owner was already fed up with the car he just wanted to sell it off even at a lost.

It was when they all (the mechanic guys) where summoned by my elder bros because they're our family mechanics that was when every details was spelled out.


Even after the whole thing I still chatted fasasi1 afterwards and apologized to him because he told me how disappointed he was about the whole thing and we traced everything out, I explained everything reasons of my actions to him. I know he will deny it... Post a screenshot he has refused to but he was fast to post where he told me how Tojah tried to sell a bad car to him but now he doesn't have the remaining of our chat history anymore, right?

obinoral1179:
boss he was buying Benz of 800k not 650k.... It was felicity that was negotiating 650k Benz or paid for 650k benz

And the surprising thing is non of you can see all of that. That's insane!

I called you, I chatted you and tender my apology after explaining to you everything yet you still bear grudges in mind after 1 year? After you've sold the car and have even gotten back your money? After you have failed to pay me the balance of my money?? After you caused issues btw me and mechanic guys? After you embarrassed me in my neighborhood

You'll suffer I promise you.

FASASI1:




😂 You told the guy bought the car 750k and the guy came to ask me and I told him I bought it for 800k that was why the guy wanted to beat you bro.


You remembered, you came to meet me that why will I tell the guy the actual money and you said I shouldn't have told him the price that what I was suppose to do was to tell him to come and meet you. Why are you still lying ?? Nobody will beat you on the forum.

I told you I thought you guys ironed everything together and you said I don't have business with him and I should have told him to come and meet you.


Regarding Tojah, show me from the screenshot I posted where I said Tojah wanted to sell a bad car to me, this is the second time I am asking.

Gentlelife50:


My brother I really understand everything, the truth is you were dealing with someone that have little or no idea about cars.
Dealers that reals on Naija cars will always tell you there's no how you will buy car and not fix something.
That even if you buy a toks, there will always be something to fix all na Lori roor.

I know a couple of Guys that have stopped dealing on Naija used cars because of the headache, you have your own faults though.
This Guy truly trusted you and felt that you will guide him, but to you business is business.
