What’s irritating is the fact he said I’m looking for pity. You’re the one that will look for and live on pity. The audacity!

If I wanted pity, I would have been here since day one stating all the shit that was going wrong! Perhaps I should have even done that. What rubbish!

Midefab, you’re such a genius sha. You welded the ball joint so it won’t fall.

And how did I know you welded the ball joint? Because I needed to replace it after IT FELL OFF in the middle of the road.

Shoutout to you and your welder 😂😂 Such smart men gan!

You don’t joke with your cars and you maintain them so well that you failed to buy the proper size of ball joints for your car. Such a very intelligent move, no?

Keep embarrassing yourself.

Midefab this was when I had sent you another reminder on 17th October.

You were asking me to send plate number before you can send custom papers. Cos you don see Mumu na 😂

I followed up with your brother from the day I bought that car in September. Excuse upon excuse. It was afterwards he gave me your number and told me to ask you, which I thought was very stupid of him. He’s the one they left car with, he’s the one I had dealing with. Not you!

Bear in mind we spoke on the phone October 4 thereabout when you tried to link me with the guy that would help do change of ownership. Because some of our conversations were via call you want to lie that I only reached out on the 17th? Clown!

Check the screenshot! I sent a FOLLOW UP on 17th.

In case you don’t know what a follow up is, it’s a reminder on a PREVIOUS conversation!

The screenshot is up there. You said I never sent anyone. A family man like you spewing such trash like a damn kid. God forbid.

So who came to pick up car documents? A ghost? You’re a clown!

You should have saved yourself this embarrassment and stayed away from this thread, but you chose to dance in the mud.

A damn shame.

😂😂😂Midefab nobody came to Gbagada? Really? Lmfao! This is getting hilarious.

I reached out in October?

Was gonna just ignore but you are being a shameless liar!

Let me get my screenshots. You must be mad!

aboyaji:
I understand what you're going through perfectly because I've been in your shoes too. I bought one Honda civic that the seller was a pastor sef. After all the respect I had for him and his encouraging words, I bought his car.

Could you believe that I used my money to buy depression? After a few months, I sold it because it didn't meet my needs. I spent so much to put it together, yet it wasn't successful.

I had to let it go.

Today, I had to go see another car that I've been trying to buy since last week. After much preaching from the owner, I asked him to drive it so we could test drive it. He gave me the keys, I declined. I insisted that he drove it to avoid issues or blames later.

As he moved, I discovered so many issues up to 5 obvious issues.

He said he'd get them fixed. I told myself that I'd take my money elsewhere.

1. Don't be too hasty to buy a car.

2. Explore many options.

3. Patience is a virtue.

4. Go with a very good mechanic that won't play you during transaction.

See those 4 points you mentioned. Very VERY important!!

Everything is a learning experience

richmondefosa:
I like how you are coming at them with hard facts. They have not been able to answer your questions. Rather, they are deflecting and talking about tyres.

Was the engine worked on or not? no answer.

Did he delay sending custom papers? no answer.

Was the ball joint welded and patched? no answer.

Steering rack?

Master break?

They have not been able to answer.

You get!!!

They will be alright.

aboyaji:
You're an honest person.

Thank you for saying this.

It’s not easy buying cars in this economy. So if you must spend this money, know what you’re getting into.

Make pesin no swear for me cos of something that could easily be avoided just by being truthful

midefab:
concerning the custom paper .... u clearly knew i wasn't in the country and i sent you the custom papers immediately they sent it to me.

You asked that I come to Gbagada or wherever to pick it up. I asked my friend who lives there to help me. On getting there, you were telling stories.

I had to follow up FOR WEEKS! You were even now saying I should send your plates and I said no. I can’t give you your number plates when I don’t have the complete documents.

Later you claimed you lost them when you moved from one house to another. Then you claimed it was in another car. Another time you said they were asking you for 100k to get customs documents.

I HAVE THE CHAT ON MY PHONE!!

I bought the car in September, you scanned the documents to me October ending. And this was cos of constant follow up!

AGAIN I ASK, DID YOU EVER SEND ORIGINAL CUSTOM DOCUMENTS?! Simple yes or no.

Come to even think of it, the previous owner left the country months before you sold the car. How am I even sure you weren’t using it while he was away?

YOU WANT TO LIE THAT THE STEERING RACK DIDNT HAVE ISSUES?

YOU WANT TO LIE THAT MASTER BRAKE WASNT BAD? You will be in traffic holding brake, next thing it will be going down, then the car will start rolling.

Perhaps your brother bought Grade A tyres. I won’t put it past you to sell them and put rubbish. Cos I know the tyres that car had. It wasn’t Pirelli. God saved you that I no longer have the photos I took when the ball joint fell out. Cos I snapped the tyre area. THAT SHIT WAS NOT PIRELLI!

This car isn’t the first car I’ve used. I used a V6 Solara for FOUR years. Asides normal routine maintenance, one or two changes here and there, no issues at all. I still have a good relationship with the person I bought it from! Bought that car at 70km mileage, and sold it less than 100km mileage!

But na when I buy this car gan gan I sabi Wetin motor parts be because of FREQUENT visit to mechanics.

You claimed the car was “rarely used” cos the owner no dey. But mileage was over 140km.

Sidon there dey talk rubbish.

aboyaji:
Another unsuspecting client.

Lemons gat their own customer base.

True. But I’m glad I told the new owner all the issues before I sold it to him.

Treadway:
hmmm. This is a weighty and valid point. If she could sell it at same price she bought it to a car dealer, then that isn't a lemon.

I can drop the guy’s number, he will confirm all he had to change before he sold it, including engine.

I put the car for sale at 2.2m, stating all the issues. The guy bought it for 1.7m after a lot of back and forth. And he bought at that price mainly because of the engine.

I know all the things I worked on from the day I bought that car.

nacortic:
She was not sold a lemon, the car was in great shape. When she is ready she will spill the truth, she already said she sold it for the same amount she bought it, if it was a lemon who would buy it

Shut up please. Do you know what great shape is? The day they came for inspection, CAR START ABI E NO START? You had to borrow battery somewhere 😂

I had listed the issues with the car when I put it for sale. If not for the issues I would have sold it for at least N2m. You’re a car dealer. You know how 2008 Accord costs!

The buyer beat the price down to 1.3 cos he needed to buy another engine. Na with ogboju we settled for 1.7. Bear in mind I bought this piece of shit from you at 1.8, so the difference isn’t much!

Sit down there and talk rubbish

TechBaron:
That was how a very popular and highly respected car dealer here sold a Tokunbo Mercedes Benz that the engine has been worked upon to me.

I trusted the fellow due to his reputation here and hired a mechanic in Lagos to go check the car and bring it down to Abuja.

That car nearly took my life.... After a year of fixing one part per week. I sold it the same amount I bought it. But I had already spent over 50% of the amount I bought the car on repairs...

From AC, to Power Steering, to complete set of exhaust.. Everything was just falling apart.

Tokunbo car oooooo

That AC alone, I spent close to 500k.

Jeez! So sorry about your experience. I can honestly understand your anger. I sold mine the same amount I bought it too. But will we talk about the money spent fixing things.

I go dey pray say make car start before I go to work.

And the idiot is blaming mechanic. Mechanic I used for 4 years without any issues on my previous car?

Some of the car dealers have a special duplex in hell.

TechBaron:
Was the engine worked on?

YES OR NO?

Leave am. He’s busy emphasizing on tyres from
Canada. I can drop the number of the dealer that bought it from me. The guy had to buy a new engine!

midefab:
Madam i am the owner of the car u've been spoiling here and i can state it clear here that i sold a good car to you... for your information i don't use quack mechanics like you and this isn't my first car and i take good care of my cars ,kindly take your cheap attention elsewhere..... and concerning the custom paper .... u clearly knew i wasn't in the country and i sent you the custom papers immediately they sent it to me.
It wasn't my intention to sell the car but relocation aka Japa made me sell it and please take your the pity words u saying concerning the tyres cos i gave you a car with Grade A Pirrelli tyres sent to me from Canada just a month before i left 9ja..... I'll gladly buy that car back from you .....

Abeg go and sit down. Car I don discard. You’re coming here to talk rubbish. Again with the tyres.

YOU WORK ON THE ENGINE ABI YOU NO WORK ON ENGINE? THE STEERING RACK BAD ABI E NO BAD? You’re talking about tyre.

YOU WELD BALL JOINT ABI YOU NO WELD?

Honda has one of the softest steerings. Softer than Toyota sef. This one was STIFF AS A MOTHERF*CKER from day one! E STIFF ABI E NO STIFF?!

DID I NOT MENTION TO YOU THAT THE MASTER BRAKE WAS BAD? What was your response? “I will send you my mechanic’s number”.

Custom papers - YOU SEND ORIGINAL? Be telling stories that touch!

Have several seats biko. I’m done with both of you.

Cheers!

nacortic:
That is what happen to her, she met a kazeem and instead of her to admit her fault she is accusing mi falsely.
I was communicating with her on a steady, I was very plain with her u can ask her nd I did not even take a dime from the owner or anything from her u can ask her.
It is not my car and I told her it is my friend who is more like a big brother to me and he is someone I know maintains car very well, if you can look at the pictures of the car you will know it is taken care off very well. I sell cars to people and I also buy from pple and we both know naija use cars you will have minor things to fix.

Again, of all the issues I mentioned, why didn’t your brother talk about them?! Why didn’t he say I was lying about every other thing? He only picked tyres to talk about. WHY CANT HE CONFIRM HE WORKED ON THE ENGINE?!

HOW COME HE DIDNT HAVE ORIGINAL CUSTOM PAPERS?! AND WHEN I FOLLOWED UP WITH YOU, BEING THE PERSON I BOUGHT IT THROUGH, WHY DID YOU STOP RESPONDING?!

Again, I have my chats with him, giving flimsy excuses, but I won’t post such here.

A word of advice, WHEN YOU ARE SELLING A CAR, INDICATE ALL THE ISSUES THE CAR HAS. Don’t be unfortunate. The person that will buy it will still buy it. It’s better to be transparent and sincere than to be a dubious fella.

I could say “enjoy your night”, but I don’t care less.

Have the day you deserve.

nacortic:
You are a terrible liar and a bitter person, I don't honestly care whatever you think or say. I have your number now, we will meet soon
This is my last reply to you.

Abeg FOH! Selling rubbish and you still have the guts to bark.

buygala:
That's very sad

Just take heart Sir... Nigerian used Vehicles are in the majority, quite demonic

Thanks.

Definitely getting Toks next. At least I know what to avoid, what to look out for, etc.

Oga keep quiet please. Now the owner is “like a brother to you”? You don dey deny am.

You claimed you don’t remember me, now you’re saying we were talking steady. See as dishonesty dey follow you back to back 😂

There was a reason you didn’t snap those photos properly. Torn seats, dents. One side of the door a different colour shade. Well maintained indeed!

Ogbeni just rest.

Telling me Kazeem. Should I drop the mechanic’s number here, let anyone call him and confirm. Cos na because of this motor I block am. Known him for 4 years. I don’t know how much you bribed him with to say the car is good.

You didn’t ask me for anything? You wey talk say make I send you something. You no get shame. Gerrout abeg

ba7man:
You were sold a lemon.

I use the same car and it's highly reliable and drives very well, makes me floor the pedal in bends

3 of my colleagues have been using the same type, no issues.

I mentioned so many issues I discovered with the car. Why is the brother so particular about only his so-called Grade A Pirelli tyres! 😂😂

buygala:
As much as I am not supporting the op, power steering issues and leg issues are quite simple things to resolve in a used car..

As per the tyre issues, most Sellers overhype their vehicle tyres.. Tyres are also a maintenance part that a new user should replace..

As long as the car body, engine, gear and electricals are ok, any other thing is a normal expense..

It's possible buyer fell into hands of wrong mechanic who complicated a simple general maintenance service.. If a ball-joint is welded, it's no biggie to replace the entire upper arm..that car's parts aren't that expensive.

Nah, not wrong mechanic at all. Cos after the guy I sent to inspect the car, I never used him again. I started using a Honda specialist. And he said if I had asked him to inspect that car, he never would have allowed me to buy it. He confirmed that they also worked on the engine. The new owner’s mechanic also confirmed same.

See ehn, I’m not angry. But the fact he and his brother are playing dumb is just very silly.

I know better.

E say na Pirelli tyres dey the car. Omo I wish I hadn’t the deleted the photos from when the ball joint fell out.

Pirelli ko! Grade A tyre wey start to dey bounce when driving? Alaye stop playing please 😂

Even form lie and say “ah, the car had issues. I’m so sorry.” Or whatever. You’re here saying Ogun go kill am. You’re mad!

I joined a Honda group after I bought the car. Dem go even testify. I have the chats. Everyday issue. Na wetin dem take know me sef.

YOU SOLD SCRAP! NO NEED TO SOMERSAULT

Godwin4444:
like seriously I don’t believe people buy cars from total strangers not to talk of nairaland where everyone is a dealer

People do. I bought my first car on twitter. Lol. I LOVED that car. Beautiful Solara. Sold it to trade up, not knowing I was buying scrap from dubious people

nacortic:
😂 You definitely not a serious person, you are a terrible liar and you are not the buyer.
It was a lady and we were still talking for awhile after the purchase she even had the number of the owner.
I will look for your number on my phone I should still have it

Was only communicating with you cos getting the customs documents from your brother was turning to a project. Cock and bull story every day. Today it’s “I’m relocating”, next week “I moved houses”, upper week “it’s in my other car”. He didn’t have the original. He asked my friend who lived close to him to come and pick the original documents. Only for my friend to get there and he was telling stories that touch! I blocked you not long after that cos you started acting dodgy when I was following up.

He ended up sending only the scanned copy. I still have my full chat with him!

The least you can do is accept responsibility for selling crap, rather than sit behind your phone and spew shit.

I’m not bothered anymore cos I sold it for the same price you sold it, so no loss. I told the new owner all the issues the car had, and he bought it. A fellow car dealer like you!

Only felt I should tell you, when you’re selling a car, learn to be honest and state everything wrong with the car. Who go buy go buy!

Na me even Bleep up. I would have come myself, but cos of time and busy schedule I sent my mechanic. I’m pretty sure you connived with him cos he said everything was okay and based on that, I bought it. Only for him to bring it to me, and he was saying “we’ll just change this and that”.

Don’t forget he had mentioned the steering issue in your presence, you no talk! Why didn’t your brother address the other issues! He’s opening his stupid mouth to say “Ogun go kill am”. He’s the one Ogun go kill. Rada Rada!

Ball joint fell out. No yawa. Normal Honda starter pack. To comot am, problem. Cos your brother, who’s such a genius, used a smaller ball joint that couldn’t fit, so he welded it. See sense. Ask him na! Make e confirm!

YOU WORK ON ENGINE ABI YOU NO WORK ON AM? Yeye dey smell!

Again, I pity who patronizes you.

We learn everyday. Good riddance!

Your brother is dense. Of all the issues I mentioned, why is he only addressing tyres? You work on engine abi you work on am? Steering get issue or e no get?

You forgot the day they came for inspection, car no even gree start. Should’ve seen that as red flag.

You’re coming here to post senseless screenshots.

nacortic:
I don't know why you just wan lie.

I called to say thank you? Both of you are senseless.

Cos I still spoke with your brother when he was trying to get the custom papers to me, I told him about the brake and steering. Mofo said he’ll give me his mechanic’s number, which he never did.

Like I said, no regrets, just lessons.

I pity who buys from you.

nacortic:
Are you the lady that bought the car, I can't remember your name.

Doesn’t matter. I already even blocked you since. Just thought I’d come here to give you an update on the piece of sh*t you sold.

Cheers.
