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?

Explorers:
This damage is not that bad if buyers are aware.

fortune1894:
explorers you are about to make yourself some powerful enemies

Justanodadude:


This is absolute rubbish and can be regarded as fraud.
May it be well with you and whatever you worship continue to bless u. I didn't know I just thought the cars are new or fairly used but this is a big *NO* . PLEASE HOW WILL ONE GET THE VIN Of a car and how will you check to see if it is a damaged or not??

Explorers:


Selling that car without telling the buyer the minor crash on the history is fraud.

When you disclose the history to buyers and they still willing to buy, then no issue.



For the VIN check, i dont have idea.

You haven't even scratched the surface. These examples aren't even top 20 in the rogues gallery. With your permission I'm sure my brethren would be glad to post photos of even worse examples.

Lol....If you search through the section, or check some guys posts on this thread, you will see them.


I didn't create the thread to paint anyone, but just want bring to the notice of everyone willing to own a car.


They should be careful and run a VIN check before buying any car.

Lalasticlala what do you think?

I want to commend everyone who has contributed positively on this thread. A stitch in time saves nine, however if you expect this on the front page,you are on a long thing.
The Auto section is plagued with all kinds of maladies and it did not start today or this year. Half truths,false documentation,fraudulent adverts,fake customs documents, and shifty characters abound.
I stopped posting here when it became a process of banging your head on a brick wall and I wouldn't have known of this thread if a poster hadn't tagged my moniker.
The government has banned the importation of vehicles through the land borders and the customs have closed down all vehicle seats at the borders yet on this section we still find dealers advertising vehicles from Coutonu through Idi Iroko and Seme borders boldly. These vehicles can NEVER have genuine documents,yet people patronize these dealers probably out of ignorance or probably due to trying to cut corners.
I hope you guys can keep this up. All fraudsters on this section should be named and shamed.

Ipfreely:
Then there was the case I've dubbed

'The Curious Case Of The Vanishing Miles'

In this case, the vehicle lost hundreds of thousands of miles of mileage between the US and its arrival for sale in Lagos. Remains a true mystery.
That's not even to mention its accidented status and the anger of the seller at being exposed.

Don't even know what to say again.
