I beg to differ. The act is fraudulent! I was almost fooled too until someone drawed attention to the real age of the car. Not everyone browsing the auto section is a car guru. Some persons might see the fraudulent information and accept it and even end up buying such cars. Please does dealers indulging in this act should desist from ir

Noted, perhaps I was working with the assumption that anyone who's internet savvy enough to use nairaland to search cars should be capable of doing a lil research on the cars too, my bad

On this issue, it's hard to tag it scam if the op wasn't informed of his mistake. I know of a thread where someone posted the engine of a 2014 Camry and didn't even know the engine cylinder, couldn't even tell and he actually snapped the engine.

Most dealers even go as far as saying the year they bought their tokunbo car is actually the manufactured year. I once wanted to buy a Peugeot 306 and the seller was adamant the manufacture year is 2008 imagine.

For some cars, it's easier to decipher which year model it is by looking at the body and engine, but some that won't do.

Doing a Vin for every car you want to buy isn't easy but advisable just to have peace of mind because of the kind of country we find ourselves in

God bless you

Age and wisdom do not necessarily go hand in hand tho. I learnt that from you. Thanks.

Everybody be forming holier than thou now cos na car dealers biz we see now on the spotlight, by the time everyone forming saint here gets their own biz under the microscope too we'll see who's whiter than snow, difference is that i am being real, not to come online here to form saint unnecessarily

According to dictionary, scam is a fraudulent deal. In this case, the lies is what makes it a scam bcoz alot of them does it intentionally, why? Just to make money and u wondering why God never answer ur prayer bcoz u dey defraud people and u think its normal. If u are not one of em, don't talk for them.

Since it has degenerated to involving "God", I drop my pen on your own case too, though I'm certain you practice one form of "scam" or the other in whatever biz you're into(that's if you're actually into any). Nice day

princetom1:
I read it down there. But alot of people too cant differentiate model year, alot of people are vehicle novice. Why misleading them? . I have seen some corrected here and they accepted and i see dome who ignored and don't come back to the thread bcoz they are guilty of trying to scam. In any case, its ur reply that brought us here

That word "scam" is too harsh for that Oga, that's what brought us here, check the meaning of scam, on this logic, every car dealer in Nigeria is a scammer, prove me wrong

You also don't ban or close threads based on that alone, except there's something more, tnx

[quote author=princetom1 post=49769197][/quote]I see, but why did you not also read that comment till the end na, didn't I mention anything about the car pics being there, you know nairalanders are too fond of rushing to call someone fraud/scam, all cos it's faceless. For someone who's used to knowing his car as a particular year model to come and advertise it as such doesnt make him a fraud so long as he attach the pics for you to see too, we'll have a case if you had corrected him and he still insists then Google will be the judge

It's not enough for you to call/label one a scam/fraud, check the use of those words well, it's a long shot

Based on that, every car dealer will be a scammer cos as a dealer you won't beat your chest to say you get the year/date accurate on every car you advertise

Fraud/scam all cos of date misinterpretation? Naa

princetom1:
Yes. And if u research about me, u will know am doing something similar and alot of people had been banned

I know i just said ill drop my pen, so ill only reply if its you, so we'll get to a conclusive end on this debate

Now, back to topic, based on which assertion? How do you differentiate those who do it knowingly from those who didn't know any better? And also, why are at least 80% of ads on auto section still standing?

At this juncture i drop my pen, if you ever make enough money to buy a car, you can look out for only sellers who put the right dates/names on their ads. Goodluck

Thanks

princetom1:
Just so i quoted u, i did not mentioned ur name, i generalized my comment, u took it as am referring to u. And yes, we tried sealing a deal with u lately which didn't go through. If ur last reply had been d first, no one will have attack u.

Ok, now, lets start again

I just saw a thread about sienna 1998-2000 model yet the advert says 2001.
Why do most car sellers/Owner lie about the actual year of a vehicle even in cases where it's so obvious?
Nairaland Mods should begin to barn such fradulent sellers.
Thank you.

Do you agree with the bolded?

princetom1:
U know why we are here now? U said, WHATS FRAUDULENT ABOUT SOMEONE CALLING HIS 02 COROLLA 05 CORROLA. What's the motive behind giving wring information intentionally? Its to scam and defraud. I have engineers and dealers here that will give u info even in their sleep and u can travel the whole world to confirm. Just bcoz alot of people do something doesn't mean u too should do it. There is nothing like being truthful in what u do.

Read what you wrote up there now, does it sound better or does the previous rants and insults and name calling sound better? Anyways i believe ive already stated why i think sellers do that on my last two responses

I was of the belief that the OP was looking for only Toks cars, cos there's an infinite number of used cars at that range

saintjoel:
I'm so sorry if the question sounds rude but from what I can understand, the man has paid duty and he has the papers to prove it. I believe that whatever is going on between him and the cat dealer is a civil case that can be resolved by the police or law courts.

lol, i know sir,just teasing, will be contacting you on monday to help me confirm some custom docs, hope you'll work that day

In law it is called misrepresentation, which can either be innocent or fraudulent and in this case the latter is the case.

I guess "In law" calling a car "Toyota Big Daddy" instead of "Toyota Camry" is also fraudulent misinterpretation

princetom1:
Oga, read and understand, its my policy not to call people names here on NL bcoz u can never tell who they are. I didn't call u thief. Ur comment just dissapointed me too much, if u cant be truthful in little things. Why lie? U wanna do bizz and u start it with lie? Common.... every foundation laid on lies will surely crumble later or soon

You would have made your points without the threats and personal insults, no need for that, mind you, you can go check if i inflate years of cars cos i don't, but this is what almost every car is known as in the streets eg go ask for a 2002 camry and you'll be shown the 01 model popularly known as droplight whereas the big daddy referred to as 03 is actually 02 model. Use this your logic and go ask dealers for cars and you'll see you'll keep getting wrong cars till you have no choice than to blend in.

Calling for threads to be closed and banned based on this will require closing about 90% of threads on auto section, instead of calling someone a fraud for naming his car in the popular naija format, why not concentrate on educating buyers to focus on checking more important things in a car before buying, na wa o

Still available

hahahaha, i'm assuming she meant 144,000km

princetom1:
For you not to be able to comprehend that, u are matured indeed. All those sellers that don't have chill, i swerve, same arrogance with InspiredM

Oga, have i ever stolen/defrauded you or anyone you know breathing this air we both breathe on this earth, you think cos i'm selling you can dangle the threat of not buying while insulting me and i won't give back? You're a kid , you'll grow up with time, you think nairaland is the real world? I bet if you see me in person you won't be able to call me a thief to my face all cos you feel strongly against my opinion, rubbish!!

koonbey:
It is fraudulent misrepresentation. The buyers may not necessarily be able to recognize car models by mere seeing them. Customers whould be able to take a truly honest businessman at face value.

Of course, this does not excuse the need for due diligence on the part of the buyer.

Not excusing those who are guilty of the offence(even though we're talking about 90% of car sellers in naija), the bolded is what should be preached over and over again, by the time you perform your due diligence on a car, the actual year model will be the least of your discoveries most of the time

We were trying to seal a deal with u lately (coded), never knew u are 1 of them. From now on, i cant have anything to ever do with u. Huh, even thieves are coming out bcoz they aren't caught yet, what a shame

See this one, you trying to seal which deal? swerve!!! coded ko. coded ni, any car i have for sale will be sold, leave your childish threats for toilet. As for calling me a thief, i know it has a lot to tell about your age/maturity

Junior66:
In your fraudulent mind, deceiving people is not fraudulent abi? Continue.

If you like you can eat, sleep, wake up, and even have sex all the days of your lives on nairaland, but any day you finally decide to leave your laptop and enter the streets of our country, you'll find out that this is how car dealers/sellers have been referring to cars even before you were born and they will continue till you die too. You either use your initiative and buy your car and go home or you can keep opening threads to rant on nairaland. Goodluck

Thank you.

Can u pls explain whats fraudulent about someone deciding to call his 2000 model corolla a 05 model, the car pics are there for you to see, so if you like the car you buy else, move on.

If you keep a goat and call it a lion for the next 100 years it will not become a lion, it will still be a goat, so for anyone saying his 02 model car is 05 model doesnt make the car to become 05 model, so long as the pics are there for you to see
