Jobac:
Nice one OP. It will not be well with those dealers that have been cheating us for years.
That's the issue with most Nigerians, just a little glimpse of knowledge and they become oversabi and arrogant

It will not be well with those dealers that have been cheating you? Cheating you how? How many cars have you bought in your life, i guess NIL cos if you've bought even one car, you wont be talking ignorantly here.

A dealer will invest his cash in millions and wait for months, vehicle arrives and theyll take delivery (alongside all the liabilities that might come with it eg theft of parts by wharf rats and container dents), go ahead to use his cash to fix the cars faults and put it in perfect condition. Then you want him to sell to you at samw price with the man who's contract with you ends at the ports.

2004 XC90 currently sells at the range of 1.4m-1.5m in the open market, and the OP offered it at 1.2m, the risk there is to hope that what you saved buying from him will bw enough for you to do one or two touches on the car and still have substantial change to your pocket. That's the risk involved and itll be foolhardy for you to believe cars you're buying here will arrive at your doorstep in exact same condition with the ones already at the car stand

The "wise" ones are aware of the difference and will take calculated risks as regards their options and live with the consequence, but your type thinks once u see cheap price, it means everyother one selling above that price is a thief. Your type will open multiple threads and go to google to give negative review and cry foul at every mention of the OP moniker if you ever save enough to afford one of his cars and something gets spoilt on the car after two weeks

What this man is doing here is a clean legit hustle, pls dont bring him more negative vibes than he actually needs, focus on saving your own 1.2m and let's see if you have the mind to risk it on this venture.

People waiting for container to land before they believe someone is doing a legit hustle be talking more than those who've actually put their money where their mouth is.

obekediamondfuto:
you understood the post wrong!
I see why u insist on bringing mechanic to assess.


also once money changes hand, Godspeed....

my point is, at least a mechanic came to assess what is and what is not....

once the deal is completed, I not u... this time, wish the buyer Godspeed because the person cannot come and tell me A B C when I am sure it was X Y Z.
and I always insist to be carried along whenever there is a new development..... it might be that there is already a workaround in place but I must be one of the first people to know....

seriously I was surprised that someone would buy a car, travel with it after 2 days, tranny parked up and he started repairing it.... if I were the seller, I'd send my mechanic to where the guy is to assess and resolve the challenge..... IF HE HAD TOLD ME

I'm not being humorous, I am serious...

I have sold off my 3 cars in the past so selling (on a very very small scale) is not new to me sha.....

no vex if the post is perceived that way...
Ok, understood

obekediamondfuto:
In cases like this, I now understand why valarinz will always insist u bring a mechanic to inspect.....

If u like bring kazeem, once money changes hands.... Godspeed....

My cousin drove my ride on Sunday and told me it was overheating, I asked him to snap the temp gauge and show me......
Guess what, it was @ the middle....
I'm sure if that was a weekday, he would already be at one mechanic that would have started dissecting the ride.......

My point? When you buy anything, and u later discover that it is not what u expected.... Always carry the seller along..... It's important to do this.....

Not everyone knows that temp needle being @ the middle is NORMAL..... heck my former 03 Camry never got to the middle.... Highest was 1/4 ......

I'm sure if it had reached the middle as at then, I for give mechanic to touch....

My emphasis again, is on the need to carry the seller along..... It is very very important...

My ex-eod, empty tank means 1/4 of the gauge.... Buyer called me halfway that vehicle refused to start (from abakaliki to Enugu) I asked him if there is fuel because I told him of that particular issue with the gauge... He told me that he forgot immediately he entered the highway.....

U see?
He could have started tampering with fuel pump, nozzles ET all..... And then later come and want to dump the ride with me all in the name of refund!

I wouldnt have accepted it as well...

Again, my point is to carry the seller along.....
Every issue has a history! Don't go and start tampering with stuff (probably unrelated and with a Kareem) all in the name of repairing a ride u just bought WITHOUT carrying the seller along
Contrary to what you believe, i don't operate this way.

Same reason why you've not seen any negative thread opened to call me out on NL despite being in the biz for years, note that I'm not as connected as some of you who have assess to mods who delete threads that portrays them in bad light

Many a times I've taken a serious loss on similar issues when u sell a car and it develops issues which was previously not there within a very short time frame as not to excuse you the seller of any liability.

Okuda:
well, to be honest both of them had nothing that interests in terms of features. but if you talk of build then il say the volvo beats it to it. In design, I would give it to the eod. I remember when that car came out, it was like nothing else could beat it.
You're quite honest sha

Mr Nurey up there will still argue this your comment...if not for anything but to correct your comment about the Volvo having anything good about it

Okuda:
fear of what? Volvo cars may not be in the best taste for africans or nigerians at this moment doesnt mean theu are not doing big things. infact the company is far way ahead in r and d than their counterparts in europe. I am not sure what agreement they have with their chinese owners but in design starting from 2013 has been top notch and that not withstanding their build quality has been great from time on. That alone (build) is what attract their customers to them. Do you know that the xc90 was rated the safest SUV in 2017? what this means is that there is a high chance you would not die if you have an accident in that car. you are comparing the first accord to the s60? thats a no go area as at the time they "volvo" were inventing the seat belt where was honda and its likes?

I am sure you should have also heard about their technological breakthrough in their trucking systems? a rat would turn a volvo truck steering, that is how heavyweight that tech is. I understand sometimes geography determine our taste. You need to be in an xc90 from 2015 above to understand what build quality and tech is. I would not say any of these about a honda and i have nothing against them per se. i have been in both and i am a car enthusiast and i know good from perfect. Nothing fascinates about a honda/toyota car as its all cheap plastic inside. after a few years of use, the interior begins to disintegrate and look very worn out.

honda may be doing well in America,Asia and Africa but doesnt mean that Volvo does not have their base amd its not small in the least. the whole of western and parts of eastern europe have their fair share of volvo users and recently from 2015, they have been breaking american grounds also.

in the end its a matter of choice but it would be dishonest of you to make comparisons based on just one sided sense of judgement of whatever you think you know about the two brands.
Ma nigga!!

Haha your ignorance is out of this world.. Be humble and learn. Let people help you. Did you just compare 307 with 406? Obviously you know nothing about the demand for 406 2.0.
Bros, wetin u do these guys na, why are they always attacking your posts..

Could it be mere bad belle and mischeviousness or could it be cos they're used to prices of badly accidented cars from Yankee.
