Anyway, long story short, another dealer offered me the 2013 Acura MDX for 12.5 million. I didn't have that cash at the time and couldn't return to Lagos until November. My uncles encouraged me to make part payment on it instead of just going home like that. I was hesitant due to fear of being played but I eventually agreed. I deposited 10 million on the SUV, leaving a balance of 2 million which I promised to bring on the first week of November. This is a photo of the one I paid for. My uncle took the picture with his yeye phone. I didn't even know when he took it.

You're a fool.
A big one.

I will save your moniker and do you small giveaway when I eventually carry the car. Just for your kind words. No be say the others are not making sense, but your kind words are valid as well. My instincts would've rang alarm bells, even though I know people are right to say I have abnormally high risk tendencies. But like you said, not everyone is a crook. The dealer is, I'm sure, not a crook. I'll bring the car home without incidences.

The only car dealer I can trust my money with is blessed GUZZAZ... May he continue to rest in peace....

Trippledots:
And you don't even know his name correctly?? Omo... GUZZAZ kor, gizzard ni😂

wunmi590:
You are a confirm olodo, this is how they do it, so that you won't have to mention his name fully, because he's late now....

I'm more intelligent than your generation...

I purposely did that, so that it won't count as mention to him, I can easily find his monika here on NL..

You are a kid

PapaNnamdi:
God bless his soul,
That guy was so good with cars,
I felt like a car engineer the day I went to buy my first car,
Looking out for his warnings,
Black smoke blue smoke,
Gold color oil black oil,
Tyre thread
Electrical harness problems,

Wish he was still with us, he would have handled this ops problem before it became a problem

Oh ok. Didn't know it was deliberate.

I apologize.

My sincere apologies for calling you olodo also

Hello guys, some days ago I made a post where I asked for your advice to help me choose from a list of nine cars. Based on the responses, the Acura MDX (2013) won the most support. So, I decided it has to be the Acura. If you didn't see the post I'm talking about or you saw it but want to make sure, you can check out the thread here:

https://www.nairaland.com/8231325/please-me-choose-these-three

That said, I got money together and traveled from my base to Lagos to buy the 2013 Acura MDX I saw advertised on Jiji. I'll tell you more about my journey in the comments section.

You sound like jjc ...I hope you don't cone back here to lament like others . Let me give you one experience I had at berger ...I got to berger with my mechanic on Friday...I saw acura mdx 2011 for 7.5m by then ...After checking and confirming that the catalyst is intact ...I made a deposit of 1m to complete the full payment on Monday...very early Monday I went back with my mechanic...behold the car started smoking ....they claimed is morning dew ...but my.mechanic insist is not ...on a second check...we realised the have removed the catalyst ...immediately I had to invite the police ...demanding for my money ...cos at thst pint I have lost interest in the deal ...There chairman took us to his office and they resolved that I should choose any car of my choice within same range ...I had to choose another one after confirmation every thing is intact...My brother you don't have to make 10m deposit over a car thst cost 12.5m...Your deposit shoukd have been atleast 1or 2m cos anything can happen ...if I deposit 10m for a car if 12.5m .I most go with thst car ....it most park in my house ....they may still hold the custom paper ...10m is too much as deposit...That person thst accompanied you is like an inexperience person...I suspect he may have some deals with them ...judging from how he is pushing you to make deposit .

Finally , you are on your own on this matter ...when you wanna buy a car go with your trusted mechanic ...confirm everything using scanner ... more importantly there us a custom office at that berger market go there with the c number and ask the cudtom man to get you a reprint and advice you if payment was made in full ir compromise ..if compromise ...what's the risk of it ...cos you don't want custom impounding your ride while travelling . I pray for goidluck and may you never regret doing all this .

How on earth did that 10m come? Cannot be legit. Not possible.

Elzazzi:
This your advise is very helpful as I intend buying a 2014 Toyota camry next month but I'm opting for Nigerian used as my budget isn't up to Toks amount. I saw one posted here at Ogba looks so clean with sharp engine but the dealer is saying 10.4M last.

Lastly what scanner will someone use to scan the vehicle to know its in good condition ? Mechanics have it ?
This is the first car I intend buying tho so why I'm asking these questions

Before you complete payment for that car ...kindly request the custom paper ...you will see the C number ...ask someone to direct you to the custom office near there at berger ...You will give the officer like 3k or more depending on what they charge now .He will send a reprint to your whatsap phone ...Ask him if the payment is okay to avoid custom problem on the way ...if he says is okay the go back to where that parked ...open the door ...you will see where the Chasis number is ...ensure it tallies with what is on the custom paper...or you can check the Chassis number on the windscreen ...confirm it tallies with that on the paper give to you ......This are due diligent you would ve done b4 even depositing . I.pray everything goes well...but if you enter those one chance inside there that doesn't belong to association...na you sabi ...I m praying for you ...that money you deposited is big
