Ok so over the while now we've been having so many VIN officers on here which i'm very appreciative of; But i want tos say something:

POTENTIAL BUYERS!, Please stop calling dealers to get you cars almost 10years old, and expecting these cars to still have mileages below 50-70000KM.
Or calling dealers to get you cars for ridiculous prices. We already are doing our best on here to beat the prices out there in the market by a good margin, so stop pushing us to the limit. we don't steal these vehicles for crying out loud.
For example, someone calls you asking for a 2004-2005 Honda accord EX full option with all the works.I then get one for this client as soon as possble, only for him to say his budget is 1.6M and that my price is too much at 1.9M( At this current exchange rate with the dollar!!!). This is not just one nairalander calling with this same attitude ,
I don't know, but i think there needs to be an attitude change both from dealers and buyers. If you want a car at a ridiculous rate don't complain if you're given a salvaged vehicle as that's the best you can get with such WONDERFUL BUDGETS!
You can't kill godzilla with a pebble, yes david killed goliath with a stone, but goliath wasn't godzilla.
If you want the best, be prepared to spend for it.
Stop calling dealers asking that you want, for exampli: a 2008 honda accord and you've got 2M for it, for goodness sakes we don't manufacture these cars.
Now on the issue of salvaged titles e.t.c I think soemthing has to be made clear here:
Some dealers here sell for people who import, some others import and sell themselves, some others just sell for people who aren't internet savvy, but need to display their cars on here. So when a dealer posts a car with the VIN, and one of our VIN-police on here checks it out and discovers it's been salvaged, just don't go about insulting the dealer/poster. You either buy or you ignore that car until you see one posted that you want to buy.
Some dealers have the time to check the VINs before posting(sometimes i personally do that, sometimes i don't depending on how busy i am) others don't.

In addendum, we all need to understand that there are different degrees of salvaged titles.
Some are total write offs, some are serious damages, while others are minors.
Inspired and co might be able to explain this further as i've said my two cents and anyone willing to have a say on this should, CONTRUCTIVELY I MUST ADD.

The self-appointed saviour of the pity party, his eminent personality Master Oyenit is only able to do His jawdroppingly-outstandingly-out-of-this-world-service^{sarcasm intended} solely because the VIN number was already provided.

People that provide free checks in this section are ten-a-penny, so anyone who wants to buy a car and requests for a VIN check from one those providing it out of their good heart would PICK UP THE SAME INFORMATION THAT MASTER OYENIT THE DEFENDER OF THE DEFENCELESS IS PROVIDING, ABI NO BE SO

Hi nairalnders, This is my first thread on nairalnad although i have enjoyed reading through threads for over 2 yeras now. I am a 23yr old graduate seeking to live the good life, my dad is late and my mum is classed among the middle class.I have a handfull of younger ones.I am nursing an ambition to go abroad( canada, US, UK) in 2 or 3 yrs time to pursue my masters degree and hustle while doing that so i can support myself and family in nigeria.I am definately coming back to nigeria after masters. After seeing me through school, i am due for NYSC by march and i have already recieved some offers from 2 nigerian banks and 1 microfiance bank( i wonder if na only bank i submit submit CV to) in nigeria.i really want to bless all those who helped me through school in someway.  and i was thinking Is going abroad to hustle still worth it as it was sometime in the past? some of my collegues in school are doing everything to go abroad. Nothing in particular to go and do , just a few are going for academic purposes. With the global financial crisis and tight economy in the world, with countires cutting jobs and some nigerians coming back home. It appears not to be a good move,maybe working in nigeria is not bad afterall.Some of those whom i know went abroad to pick up legal jobs(not fraud) are not necessarily above thier nigerian collegues who got good jobs here in nigeria.Speaking with one of my friend's dad who  lived almost all his life abroad, he  said it was no more attractive going abroad to meet uncertainty and hustling, staying in nigeria and planning ur life well,getting a good job and by God's grace could get u much more. It is now becoming an option only for the uneducated.I will be glad if nigerians abroad could shed more light on this.I want to welcome evryone to 2009ice, cause gongo aso.

We have idiots who complain about insecurity in nigeria yet whenever they visit they arrogantly "floss" and "oppress" the less privileged and still they get perplexed when the starving youth catch them at an intersection, or their domicile, and rob them of everything they got right down to their socks. Well what the hell do you expect you slowpoke? If you are not sharing people ain't caring.

If you imbeciles take your ostentatious constipated asses back home and try to prove to those with a dire sense of hopelesness that you are the number "stunna" who has just arrived from "God's own country" then don't complain when you get robbed and left with a hole in your physical frame that's big enough to put an arm and vest through because it's all your making you dumbass.

Humble yourself, bring yourself to parity with the commoner, share their pains and give all you can to help. Be simple! and drop the condescending attitude. Do not do stupid sh*t that will attrack envy and jealousy because you will pay dearly and deservedly too.

And to all you fearful b*tch ass white washed negros who feel a false sense of security and fulfilment in babylon, and any other freaking place outside alkebulan(or so-called africa), and as a result refuse to come home to settle and even ridicule the mere mention of it, i say this to you all: do not dare bring your sorry selves back here after the real nagas who courageously refuse to abandon ship have successfully struggled to restructure this criminal private corporate entity called nigeria. If you dare try to regain entry into the very land you have rejected and scorned during trying times, you weaklings will all have smoking red dots on your heads like them hindus.

You choose to reject the land of your ancestors and embrace babylon(west) so i will have you bear in mind that you all are traitors in the eyes of both man and the Gods of our lands.

Hello Sienna, i don't agree with u that bmw don't run a v6 engine. You can  visit this link http://www.car-buying-strategies.com/2003-BMW-325.html to get a full review of the 325 bmw. And beside this a quota from under the hood of a 325 bmw "All the 325 models have one thing in common and that is an inline V6 engine. This 2.5-litre powerplant is highly efficient and it pumps out 184 hp at 5500 rpm, 175 lb-ft of torque at 3500. It can be equipped with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic transmission and it is capable of 20/29 mpg (city/hwy)".

If your connection to the bank is good anything is possible. The banks/insurance companies don't keep these vehicles especially when they have been paid for. Note what I said above, these vehicles used to be given away, or cleared.

ayodeji1:
thats why i often advice my clients not to go across customs checkpoint when papers of the vehicles are still new and they do not have their original custom papers.customs use that as a revenue to extort as well.they tell u to pay the duty after seizure.but to avoid their harrasements,if you buy a dutable car and you want to be travelling with it often and often,pay the duty.but for non dutable cars,when the car is delivered to you,just make sure that in the next 6months you dont take it across their checkpoint.some can be lucky attimes though.

edogram:
No way will I pay 900k for this,

Sorry to say this, this same very clean and new use in Nigeria for 1 month only and green in color i price this car at dealers shop, they offered it to me for 400k, it was so sad that bank were close down as it was 4:30pm I could not get the money from bank that day, and the next day was 2days was holiday in Benin, due to election of oshomula and osumbor as final judgment I was very angry at that particular time, on getting tp may bank after this holiday the next day, I run to the dealer shop and they told that the owner tuck a way the car, and I had to tell them to call the owner and was sadly to inform me that the car was sold, this car is very clean then this picture you posted and and engine sound nice with water coming out from the exsose, the A/C very cool and cold, infect the car is new despact the fact there is Nigerian number on it, the owner is going for the bigger Camry that why he was seling the car.

Let me know the functions of this car so that I can place my price.

WHY DOES THE MONITOR KEEP DELETING MY POSTSDID I SAY SOMETHING WRONG AGAIN??


FIRST POST

@Mr monitor_1

whhy are we trying to make a turn around on the rules in the auto section?your thread link you posted was put up by Seun(the admin) on the 30th of July 2005,that states in very simple words the rules that guides the forum,Jesarmy came up with the suggestions on the Auto section and there were some rules also listed so as to guide the auto section,which was accepted in general by everyone.it was openly agreed that there should be no derailment of threads and if you read this, please maybe there is a speck in my eye, but i know there are planks in other people eyes,


Dear Nairalanders,
May I seize this opportunity to appeal to everyone in the house especially those who are in the habit of derailing car adverts intentionally cum unintentionally,truth is the advert is derailed all the same.
My proposition would be that when an advert is posted and the seller have included the vin# of the car,if on checking the vin report of the vehicle we notice a discrepancy on the vin report and the seller's advert,I think the first point of call should be to email the seller on the discrepancy and give him or her a chance to rectify it before bringing it to the open forum.
I believe it is a good thing to protect the buyer but at the same time we should not do it in a way to pull down the seller's business.Please let us be our brother's keeper and go about correcting each other in an atmosphere of love and mutual respect.
Thank you and God Bless,
Jesarmy Smiley Smiley


your mail you sent to me reads that you only check threads that have been reported to the moderator,why is that so??
