The truth is that his model was unsustainable, dem no dey do car business by hype.

He still makes deals, but those kinds of offers he made when he first started largely don't exist anymore, COVID and exchange rate issues have erased the comparative advantage he had back then.

Plus his abysmal customer service.

In the old days, many would have descended on you for calling his customer service abysmal.

Chief guddayday u mean that this total cost to najia including the clearing also or without it?

amdman:
Am thinking low-priced cars can be a good deal for the Nigerian market. These cars will usually have any of the following characteristics:

Clean titles
High Mileage
Minor faults, etc.

For example, the 2007 Honda Accord below can land in Nigeria for 700k (purchase price and shipping. You arrange and pay for cost of clearing). Has a mileage of 383,000.

Generally, the clearing cost for shipping will depend on the age, model, type, etc of the vehicle and will range from N300k to about N600k.

If you are interested in any of the vehicles, Call/Whatsapp - +1437 221 5476

That's also true.

Over time it dawned on many of the faithful disciples, that things are simply not as easy as his approach can make them seem.

There was a time when at any point, even at odd hours, there would be a minimum of 10 people viewing the thread, but these days there may not even be any visitors in a 24 hour time span.

Time is the great arbiter of all things, and unfortunately time has not been kind to his business model.

We do hope things pick back up again, nevertheless. And that he works on his customer relations.

I believe that people aren't buying cars again unlike before probably due to the planned decrease of customs duty to 5%

Secondly cars are now super expensive due to the Dollar rate.

This was in 2019 chief and it's without clearing. Things aren't the same anymore.

You are jonzing..... Well, it's a jonzing world.... They there they observe viewers....

Many of you here do seem to have mental problems, emboldened by obvious jealousy and hatred.

You have the schadenfreude mentality- always wishing successful people bad and, enviously, trying to undermine their achievements. You want them to fail, so that you can say 'I told you so', (or, in your words, his business model is not sustainable)...

Joor, ki lo kan e nibe? What's your business with how someone else runs his business, especially if you haven't patronized him before? And, if you have patronised him, is that not enough reason to not wish him bad or talk ill of him?
We have all hammered on his communication issues. He knows what he's doing, he's not a baby. He can't take all deals, and can't satisfy everyone, either. I believe he would improve, over the long term.

Has anyone come here to complain that they paid him and he didn't buy their car?
Has anyone come here to say that, he requested more money than was, iinitially, agreed on?

His business has a lot to do with fluctuations in exchange rates, and the custom duties and levies imposed by both the originating countries and destination countries, which affects the TLC. Over the years, when the exchange rates go up, OP has been known to lay low for some time, till the rates get better or till he finds suitable deals at the prevailing rates. His supportive and understanding viewers and admirers know this.
If you go to the OfferUp electronic devices thread, many phones and laptops that used to sell below 100k in 2019, are now almost double, due to the present rates. Many deal hunters have paused dealing. It's not a do-or-die affair. If the situation is not suitable, chill, till things get better.
If the OP posts cars at higher prices, you're one of the people that would still talk nonsense or call him greedy.

It is the OP's prerogative, whether to continue searching for and posting deals or not, not yours -the viewers, and prospective clients. If anyone is pressed for deals, source for the dollars and enter auction sites yourself, or call/message OP directly, to get a quote.

The OP has done/will continue to do everything humanly possible to make cars land in Naija at cheaper rates than the average Naija car stand. Man even took the RORO route, just to ship at cheaper rates. Come on, give him a break. He has earned his accolades and reputation.

Instead of coming to his thread to knock his business model; to count the number of viewers; to talk about the overflogged communication issues (despite not having patronized him, and no one has come to claim that he collected money from them without delivering); and to challenge his decision to not post any deal that he doesn't consider good enough for his thread and clients, why not go start your own sustainable business model, kwanu?

Elejo oshi. Trash talker. You know that COVID and exchange rates have affected businesses all over the world, and even the billion-dollar airline industry, yet, you're knocking a used-car procurement agent for pausing his deal hunting service due to higher rates? Envy is bad.

You need to speak less.
Read the thread and move on.

Focus on more productive conversations and things generally.

But on second thoughts, you have a right to whatever you say.

Type, not speak.
I will return your own advice to you.
Read the thread and move on.
Don't waste so much time trying to reply every post you may disagree with.
Spend that time on more productive endeavors.
It would do you some good.

My post hurt your feelings, that's alright. The truth is often bitter, as they say.

Try not to dwell on it. Accept it, and move on.

Spend all this energy on making more money, so you don't spend all your time counting pennies and saving up for a miracle worker from Canada.

Peace be unto you.

True. I mentioned these points in my first post. Kudos to you for being rational and realistic.

At the end of the day, do whatever works for you. I don't know anybody here, so I don't really care that much. After typing these messages I may not even remember any of these exchanges. Online talk stays online.

But who e pain, make e no too vex. The truth is a powerful thing.

Na gode
