AutosRe: There's A New Sherrif In Town. Oyenit Is The Name. Bigups. by promise72(op): 4:50pm On Mar 28, 2009

@Promise72
I recal you tried to push back at this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-251650.0.html, where I had warned people to beware of certain vehicles. Are you really happy for the work OYENIT is doing?
You got it wrong pal. I wasnt trying to push backon anything. There is nothing wrong with Salvage vehicles. As long as its properly repaired. Salvage vehicles are drive here in the US everyday.

Why this issue is different is the odometer rollback that these guys are doing. That is theft. That is deceit. That is wrong. There was a Lexus Jeep that  rolled back as much as 75,000 miles!  shocked

Another Camry was rolled back as much as 100,000 plus miles. Why i really commend Oyenit is the fact that he went thru all the posting and actually posted all the VIN records. That takes a lot of time and efforts.

It goes back to my point of tryin to get something for nothing. Remember i said that? The impression that vehicles are cheap here is what will make these sellers fall prey.

They want all the features on the car (leather, A/C, Navigation etc etc) and dont wanna pay much. That is where the problem lies.

@promise72

as the name implies "carshopper" that is what i do, shop for cars and bring them to you, normally i do check out the car history and i always post the history along with my ads , and if i donot post the history i always post the vin so any buyer can do the necessary checks, so whats your point , promise? if you have been following my ads which i know you have you would see that car history or reports are always part of the ads, so chose your next words carefully, cus i believe i no kill anybody or deceive any1 grin cheesy
Point well taken cool
AutosRe: There's A New Sherrif In Town. Oyenit Is The Name. Bigups. by promise72(op): 6:24pm On Mar 27, 2009
Really? Are yuu sure? If you gonna put up a car in your name. Your reputation. Your face. Why is it less of a concern to you if the car checks out?

Now we dont even know who this "importer" is. All we know is that Carshopper posted a vehicle with odometer rolled back.

Can you see how this affect you? Why can you request for a free VIN check form Jenju/Inspire before posting

AutosThere's A New Sherrif In Town. Oyenit Is The Name. Bigups. by promise72(op): 5:41pm On Mar 27, 2009
I just wanna take this moment to acknowledge the earthquake that has happened in the Auto Section in the last few hours.

Oyenik, with all great effort went thru all the ads and posted the VIN report. Funny enough and somewhat disappointing theres been several cases of Odometer rollback in the thousands of miles. One car was well over 100,000 miles rolled back.

Some vehicles were magically[b] "SOLD"[/b][/color] wink

This is just a snapshot of our country but it will be OK cos of people like Oyenik.

Join me in saying a big THANK YOU [color=#000099]
to Oyenik. Fradulent seller should be on notice.

Its a new day! Honesty is the best policy.

Before condemning a seller, there are other factors to consider.

Tail lamps are a popular upgrade, it's quite common for owners to have a particular preference, and retrofit either items from a later or earlier model. So, it pays to check other determining factors, before crying wolf!
Which is accurate. However, the previous owner must have changed the wheels, front fascia, headlamps along with it then. Cos they upgraded those too. Which is what it is in the pics. Lets wait to hear from seller.

I knew the mileage is a little too good to be tru. Thats why i was asking the seller to say it. Of course i can see in the picture. Now that the CARFAX report is listing last reported mileage at 94,000. i hope there is an explanation for the almost 60,000 shocked differnces in mileage.

The picture above is not of a 1998 BMW 5 series. Try your gist somewhere because the tail lamps is that of a 2001/2002 BMW 5 series.


Below is the back side of a 1998 540i and see the difference in their tail lamps. Stop doing people wayo here.

Fhemmmy:
Navigator is not bad, but my guy, i am being real with you, Intrepid is useless.

1. They could easily overheat in a nation that boils like Nigeria.
2. The transmission is a big problem with it.
3. Chrysler makes pretty cars but they don't last and worse yet they don't care.
4. This engine is notorious for broken timing chains and sludge build up

Here is a confession of a Technician:

Chrysler Dealer Technicians Are Admitting Frequently Seeing These Problems, Are Told To Keep Quiet While They Agree With This Website
"I am a technician for a Chrysler dealership in Florida. I fear for my job so I will not disclose what city. The problems this website shows are all true, us technicians are seeing this every day, and yet are told to keep our mouths shut. We are also told to do patch up jobs and the parts we need are not given to us. My advice to you as a mechanic would be to never buy a Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, or a Mercedes Benz vehicle"
Truth is bitter! But someone's gotta tell it like it is! Thanks bro.

Intrepid is one of the most useless and unreliable ride you can ever own.
I have one.
Their transmission aint good at all.
I will never touch that ride again with 500 feet pole
Word! I don't wanna be the first to say it. But the cat is out the bag.

Tayo-D, i know u probably disagree but ship that car to Naija and see what happens. See how much $$$ u will lose.

The last time i got a glimpse of a Intrepid is in Pasuma's (or one of those fuji guys) video. And by the way he's not educated. dont think so. grin

Thanks Baba J,

@ Adexcarz,
Give that car the Glory it deserves. Full detialing, waxing, buffing and the whole. A beauty queen will never win the crown without shower, makeup and the whole works. cheesy

Once again, my apology. If i catch it and still take the time to point it out, a potential buyer might have seen the same thing and just move on. No qualms wink

Good Luck, My Bro.

@topic,

A lot of vieing but no feedbacks. I'll appreciate some pls cool!
Mr. Tayo D,

From a Bro. to Another Bro. Please realise that ur feelings about the car has nothing to do with the car itself. Between u and me, Intrepids are not the "in" thing in Naija. Do ppl drive it? "Yes"!. Will ppl be fighting over it to buy in Naija? "NO"!

You are better off sending a 1997-2001 Camry or Accord. Even if its Cotonous Cleared. People will buy it. Just go thru the thread and see the response(s) those cars get.

Nigerians are mostly uni-directional. Once they are crazy about one thing, its hard to turn them around. Their craziness about intrepid is not now!. Save your $$$

A lot has to do with Mechanics and parts availability too. Its like driving a Peugeot here in the US. Parts are hard to come by. Not that u wont find but not easy.

You will be shipping an Accord/Camry about the same $$$ for intrepid. Only to beg ppl in Naija to ppppplllllllleeeeeaaaaase buy it. You will most likely take a loss on it. Guaranteed. wink

Money doesnt grow on trees in America like they think back home. Save ur $$$.
Buy something u will sell sharp sharp (thats the lingo in Naija)  grin

It's not a Nigerian Used Broda it was never registered either hence it has no license plates. There's no gain being deceitful.
I will take ur word for it and stand coreected. I apologize. If you are right of course.

However let me draw ur attention to pictures number 2 (The gear area) Those dusts around there kinda makes me concerned. Also pictures number 5 and 7 showing the rear A/C vents is somewhat dustier than something i am used to. Also the picture of the speedometer/odometer is showing some type of dusts from behind the glass.

Thats the reason(s) i am reaching a conclusion that its probably Nigerian used. Perhaps a picture of the engine compartment will prove otherwise.

Good luck in your sale Bro.
AutosRe: 2004 TOYOTA 4RUNNER SR5/SPORT EDITION (SOLD SOLD SOLD) by promise72(m): 12:56pm On Mar 23, 2009
I was wondering why is the license plates removed to conceal the facts that's its Nigeria used?

I have never owned a 540 before, however remember that its a 8 cylinder engine. Petrol galore! grin
Car TalkRe: Beware Of Salvage Titled Vehicles by promise72(m): 6:47am On Mar 23, 2009
naijaking1:
He said, "if you register as a dealer, you could buy some of these cars for $50" He continued, "after you survey the damage, you simply buy the visible replacement parts(which are cheap in the US), and ship the junk cars with their parts to a Nigerian mechanics in Lagos, or the east where labor rates are rock bottom. So, one could buy a junk Honda Pilot for $50-100 dollar(banks and insurance companies really want to get rid of these cars at the auction), buy $1000-1500 spare parts, ship it for $2000, clear it as parts or junk for about $2-3, then "pay a Nigerian mechanic about #50,000--- and he would almost rebuild the whole car" The shipper continued to boast that's how you make money, sell the finished vehicle to Nigerians- who don't know how a good Honda Pilot drives like in the first place.

The problem is that there is nothing wrong with this form of business, because it's done in other developing countries, but I really worry about naija people who buy salvaged 2008 Lexus 470 for 2.1 million naira thinking that the check-engine lights don't go off. While the shippers, and mechanics may make every honest effort to fix every damage they could see, there're always the unseen, and unappreciated damages that made the banks sell the vehicle as a junk in the first place.

Buyers beware.
As much as the premise of the narration is true. However, the part i found plausible is paying $50 for a wrecked/totalled Honda pilot. 2005 for that matter! I know ppl who sell scrap metal and buy cars for scrap.

As a dealer myself, (i attend both accidented and clean car auctions) i can tell u for a fact that there's no way u can get any late model accidented car for $50. Even if its a Kia Rio. If its very tru, why dont u just find a Honda Pilot thats damaged in the front for $50-$100 and find another one thats hit in the back for $50 and use it for replacement? Why do u want to buy replacement part for $1500?  undecided

Thats according to you. I am not trying to hairsplit what u said. However, i will hate to lend to the impression that accidented cars costs next to nothing here. Especially late model cars!

Its what is been made to believe in Nigeria, hence pple fall for 419 deals cos the prices thats they should have been suspicious of initially are not checked out. They fall prey.

A lot of cars in Nigeria are Salvaged cos ppl want something for nothing. However like the saying goes "You get what u pay for"
