What I found in the car

What make and modelof car did you buy

As the paper is somehow mutilated, could pick put two possible correct numbers which are "FST648AL " and "FST643AL". The former brought up a Toyota carina e, while the latter brought up a Toyota avensis

To start with, none corresponds with the Toyota Corolla written on the paper, so there definitely is a long history on the plate number, most likely doesn't belong to the car you bought

Also, crosscheck this chasis number on the paper to what's on your car to see if it matches

DelTel:
Confront the seller with your findings.

You can either return the vehicle and get your refund or re-negotiate the price, luckily you have not paid in full.

Meanwhile, be sure of your assertion before confronting.

Post the (previous) car registration number here, perhaps someone could help. You have nothing to lose by doing that.

Naija and scam, I can even bet the mileage has been tampered with.

Nigerians and media trial, you've already gone ahead to start calling scam and even insinuating mileage has been tampered when you haven't even heard from both parties, seen the car or even reached a verdict as regards what really happened, smh

For the OP, go to frsc site and run the plate number you saw and see what comes up, note that even if nothing comes up, it doesn't totally settle the case but it might just be faster if it actually comes up, then it's settled but if it doesn't then you check other scenarios

It could be that they forged those docs to use it to drive the car down to Abuja and around, could also be that it's registered and have been deleted from the system in order to resell as toks

Take the custom docs which you were given to customs office to verify if it's authentic and fully paid for, shouldn't cost more than 5k,

By the time you're done with these processes you'll have gotten a clear idea of what actually transpired with this your car, so when you're going to meet the seller, you're actually some steps ahead, you can do the alternative and go rushing blindly in rage to his office and there's only two ways it will end, either you're told off or you're told more sweet lies and convinced and you'll go home, forget all these barbaric African way of thinking, every problem isn't settled by violence, do your intelligent investigation first

Tnx

Buying a nigerian used car is like walking into a death trap.

A friend of mine who recently acquired a Nigerian used toyota camry is now regreting ever going near that car.

When they tell you it is one month used please run.

why would an individual buy a car, use it for one month and then set it up for disposal?

the answer is clear, there is an undelying problem.

Asegzy:
this is my pal in an s40 at a mechanic workshop .nb: I don't use roadside mechanics. It seems you deal in Volvo cars ,that's why u are taking it personal

Bros, I'm waiting for the locations of the S40 cars on flat tyres pls, I need to buy as much as possible, I don't need these pics, I can do a thousand selfie in different models of S40's and paste here, it's irrelevant, just show me those damn cars, thanks

NB: while you keep hanging around guys with bad maintainace culture and patronizing quack mechanics, others are buying and enjoying their volvo cars, and we sell steady, even today sold my S60 on nairaland to someone who has some brain, keep bad mouthing a product no one from your whole kindred can think of producing

Asegzy:
You get time ooo.choi!!!
Get a job pls

I got a full time job, which I enjoy my man, and it's car biz, what's yours?? And obviously replying you is part of my job, so??

Is that all?? Pls show me em S40's on flat tyres for sale, I'm desperately searching for them and will buy any you can provide, plss

Asegzy:
Sir OP ,if u don't want to regret driving a car pls I advise u to run away from the Volvo s40.
I know its a very nice looking car with a superb nterior and wonderful audio system But dats it bro.
1.It has a very compact engine which is not adapted to the Nigerian tropical weather so it overheats a lot.
2.when the car overheats the engine knocks immediately. (So in essense ,u must buy a new engine ,no matter how good ur maintenance culture is)
3.the spare parts are very scarce and very expensive
4. The mechanics and electricals of the car are very complex so even experienced mechanics will wreck the car.
Seems ure a man of class and style so u can go for a bimmer e46 model or Benz eclass2004 model
In short any car is better than the s40.I'm saying this based on experience from myself ,my friends ,and others who have used d car
To be forewarned is to be forearmed.
Its attractive but its looks are highly deceiving.
RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!

Now, let's attend to your issues here, point by point

1. You say "it has a compact engine which doesn't adapt to the Nigerian weather very well"

Pls define 'compact engine' , as used by you in this context, and as for the Nigerian weather thing?? Ignorance at its best . You say it overheats a lot, pls how do you arrive at this statistic, personally I can't Remember any of my clients complaining of their S40 overheating
Obviously, you lack maintenance culture on cars, get one and avoid illiterate kazeems

2 "When the car overheats, the engine knocks immediately "

Chisos Christi! !!!, honestly this is beginning to sound like beer parlor exchange of words between two drunk fighters, ok

3 "the spare parts are very scarce and expensive "

At this point I concluded you're just a child of hate, you've never been 100m close to anyone who owns or have used a volvo S40, pls create a thread where we'll compare the price of volvo S40 with the corresponding car of your favorite brand and mention me to the thread, we'll compare side by side from cost of engine down to the brake bulbs

4. At this point I understand where your problem is coming from

You and your friends are a curse to automobiles and should be banned from ever owning one, if you can't maintain a simple Volvo S40 car

This same S40 car that I have a long list of clients waiting to buy with no car in sight, pls point me to those areas where you have those S40 on flat tyres with plastic bottles and sale signs on them and I'll forever be grateful to you, I'll also buy yours and your friends own on the spot if you can provide them, I make this an open challenge bro.

Asegzy:
I'm not a mechanic so I may not know d right terms to use BT for some reason ,recent volvos overheat a lot.
Infact u can do a simple survey of how many s40s u see on d road.
Most of the s40s I've seen are usually parked with no tyres and "for sale" sign on top of them.

The most dangerous thing in the world is ignorance, your comments so far seems to be the most ignorant,.myopic and hate-filled ones I've read in a while on nairaland, smh

Pls, where and when was the survey conducted and what's the criteria, you say "most s40s I've seen", how do we now ascertain how well traveled you really are, honestly the way you've been taking your time to bash makes it seem you're just an attention seeker, get a life or go produce your own car

TRYGO:
@kulee. You're a smart man o! How you faring?

@valarinz. I get what your concerns are. But I think it's better you present the clients with all the products and/or services you have. Its left for the clients to decide which they want. I think the problems with most dealers is, they just want to have their ROI fast. Just be fair and emphatic with them. When you explain things to them, they'll see you as someone not desperate for their money.

If you read my quotes very well and slowly, you'll realize we're both saying the same thing here, difference being that I'm implying that the clients too don't like such honesty, they prefer those with the lies and sweet mouth, they'll buy 10 cars from those so called dishonest dealers(cos of their sweet mouth and constant persuasion ) before they'll even consider buying one car from the honest dealer

Also they love it cheap, how can a car without issues be cheaper than same car with issues(all other factors being equal)

Apportion some blame to the buyers too is my point

OP after all these your sermon, will you also tell them to try and pay good prices for cars, you want to buy an 07 corolla for 800k and you're coming with your scanner and 'uncompromising mechanics' hopefully not to find any faults abi

I'm a dealer too and I'll tell you confidently that Nigerians buy bad cars mainly not cos they can't research, but mainly cos of their love for 'cheap' items, when I offer someone the same model devoid of issues what I'll hear is something like "is it not this same car that was offered to me at so so and so price, that one is even American spec, pls let's go and buy that one", months later you'll come back to say all car dealers are dishonest crooks with sweet mouth

Each to his own sha

Whichever one you decide to buy, make sure you Holla me, got both in stock,
