Yes, sure.

Accident free can be expensive, but some will tell you accident free, first body, clean title and the cars have rolled over and over.


Why not just let them know?


The history of the cars below here are not bad, i will buy them if i can afford them.


But some people will tag these cars clean title.

Selling a car based on false info is really bad. And there is no excuse for that.

as a buyer, you have the right to request vin of what you are buying and run checks on the history. a lot of guides on steps to buy a car are availble on and off nairaland.

you can use the results of your checks as a bargaining chip to get better prices off the seller.

Thanks explorer for bringing this up. It is not only on nairaland that this is happening but in Nigeria as a whole. I will advice every potential buyer to do a background check before buying any vehicle. Imagine a situation where the airbag should deploy and safe someone's life and did not because it was not replaced after the previous accident. I did a background check on a vehicle only to discovered it was reported stolen in the US. Some will even rollover upto 100k miles on the odometer. Nigerians and greed

An uber driver lost his life weeks back, first thing I noticed about the corolla was "no airbag deployed".... The guy could have been saved!!! God knows best!!! Cos I dunno why on earth a 2006 corolla won't have its airbags deployed upon collision.

Explorers:


Maybe that's not the first accident.

If only Nairaland will enforce the posting of VIN with every advert.

Only confident sellers post VIN and auction pictures of their vehicles.

ahaha, I cant remember the name but I know its behing that Shell petrol station by the Fly over on the A13

erico2k2:

1st thiing you do is google that make and find location of the VIN, once you know it, go to the car snap the VIN and do physical check, go away and run a VIN check, then the true situation will come to light then make a deccission on waht you see.

Very good.

But I'm wondering how some guys give a detailed VIN result upon sighting the pictures of the car posted.

I saw this happened twice on some threads. The seller had to put up a weak defence. I was shocked.

Now, how do these guys discover the true situation of the said car upon seeing the images alone?
