agreed..thats how I went to check one eod in ph.. Seller said.. It's just buy and drive.. Nothing to fix except shocks.. But when I checked the car.. There was so much to fix
..starting from bad interiors.. To vibrating engine.. Heavy jerking while changing gears.. Then I scanned the car.. And.. Wahlaaa... It threw over 8 codes.. With 2 of them.. Black in colour.. Showing high voltage somewhere.. I scanned again. And another black code came up to total it to 10 codes.. I just told owner.. To go and fix his vehicle.. That the vehicle needs total overhaul.. When I scan.. It brings out multiple colours based on the urgency and seriousness.. Red coloured code means.. Issue already exists.. Green colour code means..pending issues.. That's.. It hasn't come up yet but it will come up.. Just like a warning.. While black code means.. Danger.. Could damage something more in the car.. Infact.. It's the first time I saw a black code in my history of scanning cars..

my brother.. I used the portable scanner thats connected to my phone via Bluetooth using the app.. Torque. .. Viecar.. That's it's name.. And it works wonders...trust me.. It has saved me countless times..

captainking:
i did not take a machie ..the scanner is easy to use.. Once you scan it.. It gives you a code and tells you what the code means. And even possible solutions.. About checking a car.. I learnt that one here on Nairaland.. I don't need an expert to check cars for me.. I already know.. What to lookout for indept..its cos I sleep on auto and car section of Nairaland.. And thanks to the gurus here like gazzuzz, mayor123, kingreign, autologic, timifakay and the rest....

Above thread refers pls.




It's called business, as a businessman, is your money or your capital. You buy, you sell or resell at any price of your choice.

Not anybody's business but yours.


What about letting the buyer know exactly what he's buying

Can still remember the face the dealer made when the question was put him that what have you replaced in this vehicle?

Responding to the question, he said nothing, the car came into the country like that clean untouched.

I talked to some people about VIN yesterday, but they don't know it, like hearing from me for the first time and they are all car owners.

That's the reason why people can easily be deceived there.


Who am i to against salvage business or it importation

Is a business, but is all about full disclosure and letting the buyers know what they're paying for.

This vehicle had accident or flooded but has been fixed perfectly.

They walk away because of the history, some will walk in and pay and everybody go home happy.


Why advertise a car to be clean, accident free and the history says something else
