Lies From Car Dealers! BUYERS BEWARE by travelinfo(op): 9:09pm On Mar 06, 2021
it's quite unfortunate that unemployment has turned many people to overnight car dealer dishing out lies to members of public

Many of such lies includes;

✓ This car has low mileage but when you eventually see the car in real life, it will have mileage of over 250k

✓ Claim theres nothing to be fixed on the car but when you see the car & test drive it then you will realize there's lots of work to do on the vehicle

✓ The biggest of these lies is that vehicle was registered less than 6months or 3months but when you check the number plate, it shows car registered over 3years

✓ Another lies is that owner doesn't drive it much because he's out of town, owner has travelled out, owner is based abroad etc

please stop dishing out lies to brand your cars as super neat, most of the time you are wasting customers time & destroying your reputation at the same time


MY ADVICE TO BUYERS
When you are buying Tokunbo or naija used cars, ensure that you check the vehicle thoroughly and dont rely on word of mouth from dealer/marketer

If you are buying a Nigerian used car, ensure that you bargain very well & never listen to any dealer claiming that owner hardly uses the vehicle or owner is based abroad, vehicle was used by female banker etc, its all lies to cheat you and sell the car to you at expensive price

Some will say 'distress' sale, after they've offered a terrifying price tag.
