Slightly confused, The owner of the site has after much discussion among the membership asked that cars be advertised with their VIN or Chassis number. Every car that leaves a factory anywhere in the world has this number. Anyone selling a car who can't locate it (or ask their mechanic) should IMO not be selling cars. The only plausible explanation for not providing this number is either there is something wrong with said automobile, or the person doesn't have physical access to it. There is nothing, I repeat nothing that a 3rd party can do with this number other than look up the cars history. Don't understand why this takes 6 pages of comments to determine. |

Seun, We need a Moderator on this forum to enforce this VIN issue. As this website becomes more and more popular, we see people advertising more everyday and that`s good but getting some of them to post the VIN is like pulling teeth. There are individuals who have taken it upon themselves to provide reminders to the posters but people do not always listen to them. Please, let`s appoint a Moderator. igwe1 is my choice for obvious reasons (see his posts in the Auto section) but if there are others out there, no probem. |

Re: Chassis Number Or VIN Is Recommended On Every Listing by ADEOMOLE(m): 3:31pm On Nov 28, 2008 |
Do you the VIN can be used to reorder keys for a Car from the manufacturer. Only a careless seller would reveal such an information online. Revealing such Data might do more harm than good. |
Re: Chassis Number Or VIN Is Recommended On Every Listing by Seun(m): 3:33pm On Nov 28, 2008 |
ADEOMOLE: This is a new angle to the story. What do the VIN supporters have to say about this? |
Re: Chassis Number Or VIN Is Recommended On Every Listing by coolguyz(m): 4:35pm On Nov 28, 2008 |
VIN can be used to re-order keys from the car manufacturer, and whats the risk or threat to VIN diclosure in that.? cars packed at dealer shops or even private cars have the VIN display right on the dash board which is accessible without opening the car. i'v requested for VIN check on this forum for a friend who was to buy a car in benin and all i told him was to copy the VIn so we do a check and was easy. so why ddnt the car dealer stop him from doing that? is the threat only to d seller and i need to knw what the risk rily is because what of those who buy and pack the cars at car lots where accessibility is easy, look through the windscreen and u hv the 17 digits already. in my opinion, its no threat to anybody, u need more than VIN to perpetuate fraud, at least location of car and not every car manufacturer posts keys like dt! my personal opinion and reality Thoughts ooooo! |

ADEOMOLE: Who has done it b/4? Support your case with proof. If you guys wish to abolish the mandatory disclosure of VIN here, I wish you all the best. Am only afraid that you will have to compete with the real criminals while the end result will be categorizing everybody as scam and crooks. Seun:Its only an illicit car dealer that will be afraid to disclose the VIN of his advertised car,else VIN can be viewed outside the car on the dash board. Manufacturers are not that dumb that they would print keys based on the VIN provision knowing quite well that some car dealers are mandated to disclose the VIN of their adverted vehicles in USA, Its just absurd to believe that duplication of keys can be made without proof of ownership. coolguyz:That explains everything. In conclusion VIN is the only tool that can bring peace and regulates the advertisement of cars on this site and also a veritable tool for the buyers as to have an ideal as regards to the car history. |
Re: Chassis Number Or VIN Is Recommended On Every Listing by mastro: 4:51pm On Dec 02, 2008 |
While yes, you require the VIN to order new keys, you will also be asked for proof of ownership, I recently in the UK ordered a spare key for a 307 in Nigeria and had to jump through hoops, they wanted registration docs, proof of identity and proof of address, bearing in mind that it wasn't my car I had to tender, registration docs, passport of owner, my passport, proof of my UK address (utility bills) before they would cut me a key. (Mr Ademole try approaching a UK dealer to cut a spare key and see for yourself) Lets approach this logically since VIN'S are visable through the window screen if manufacturers cut keys for anyone with a VIN number then I shall be visiting Inspired car lot and driving away in the X6. Further evidence that this is a non issue is the fact that if you check www.cars.com, www.autotrader.com or www.ebay.com advertised cars show their VIN numbers. As a slight aside another very good use for VIN's is parts, so when my people in Gidi need parts I walk into a dealer anywhere in the world quote them the VIN and I'm sure of getting the correct part so next time you get told silly money for a part in Gidi, use your friends abroad to get your parts, even including air freight it's mostly cheaper. |

Re: Chassis Number Or VIN Is Recommended On Every Listing by Martins00(m): 2:55pm On Dec 05, 2008 |
VIN, VIN , VIN, is it only those in America and Canada that ship cars to Nigeria? This is the first time i'm hearing such any where and i totally find it absurd one should ask about VIN. Thts a private code that shouldn't be shared on an online forum. One moe thing, you guys should read more about Carfax before coming to place such unreasonable request here. Read more on Carfax https://secure.carfax.com/about/car_history/hcabout.cfm It absolutely has nothing to do with European cars. Whoever tht suggested such idea should rethink and take all opinions into consideration before placing such kind of thread. And besides we don't sell those fuel guzzling and environmentally unfriendly vehicles from the USA and Canada. |
Re: Chassis Number Or VIN Is Recommended On Every Listing by igwe11(m): 7:17pm On Dec 05, 2008 |
Martins00:In short I don't know what to tell you since you have refused to see beyond your own personal interest. VIN gives information on cars and their environmental pollution.In the same vain, sizes and no. of cylinders in an Engine tell more about fuel consumption and its not restricted to a particular country.Once again VIN is not security but identity and can be seen by anyone that wants to when the car is stationary |
Re: Chassis Number Or VIN Is Recommended On Every Listing by Martins00(m): 7:32pm On Dec 05, 2008 |
Since you are too lazy to read what exactly CARFAX Vehicle History Data Sources is all about, i'll bring it here then for u. https://secure.carfax.com/data_sources.cfx CARFAX Vehicle History Data Sources Read Nigga! Read! Do u see any word in this report saying anything about european based cars?? |
Re: Chassis Number Or VIN Is Recommended On Every Listing by igwe11(m): 7:44pm On Dec 05, 2008 |
Some of the dealers were victims of this mandatory VIN disclosure, based on that, you are required to provide yours. |
Re: Chassis Number Or VIN Is Recommended On Every Listing by Martins00(m): 7:54pm On Dec 05, 2008 |
U're obviously jobless |
Re: Chassis Number Or VIN Is Recommended On Every Listing by igwe11(m): 7:57pm On Dec 05, 2008 |
Martins00:Even when am on your neck, is that not job? |
Re: Chassis Number Or VIN Is Recommended On Every Listing by Martins00(m): 8:01pm On Dec 05, 2008 |
igwe 1: Keep it up! See if u might feed ur family with it, thts if u have one. Good luck with ur job |
Re: Chassis Number Or VIN Is Recommended On Every Listing by igwe11(m): 8:12pm On Dec 05, 2008 |
Martins00:Is not issue of feeding your family but what you feed them with, I hope this becomes your turning point for where we are going is still very far. |
Re: Chassis Number Or VIN Is Recommended On Every Listing by mastro: 9:58pm On Dec 05, 2008 |
It's Friday night, so I've a few min's before hitting the town Mr Martins, are really a car dealer, no really hear me out, it's not a baseless question, I ask because you seem to think that VINs are only relevant for North American cars, now if you were actually a European based car dealer you might have heard of HPI which is the UK equivalent of carfax, which believe it or not uses that magic number to run checks as well I suspect there is a German equivalent as well, and has been pointed out above many a time the bloody VIN is visible through the window screen so it is not I repeat not a secret code that allows you to magically steal someone’s car. Wait O I'm not finished if you really were a car dealer then as I pointed out above you would probably have had cause to buy parts for cars and as such would probably have been asked for the VIN at some point during your long and illustrious career as a car dealer |
Re: Chassis Number Or VIN Is Recommended On Every Listing by Martins00(m): 10:08pm On Dec 05, 2008 |
Mr Mastro! When u find the German version, let me know. ok? Good luck! |

Re: Chassis Number Or VIN Is Recommended On Every Listing by Martins00(m): 10:26pm On Dec 05, 2008 |
I really didn't read tht ! That was funny. Mr Mastro, u see ur life? |
Re: Chassis Number Or VIN Is Recommended On Every Listing by hubreality(m): 1:43pm On Dec 08, 2008 |
That's excellent of you, Seun. The security of the buyer is well considered for just doing that. |
Re: Chassis Number Or VIN Is Recommended On Every Listing by Busybody2(f): 11:59pm On Dec 11, 2008 |
Martins00: Hmmn, let them carry on making things easier for crook who specialises in dealing in Clones and Ringer. Before, these criminals had to contact a car seller to either request via email or request for a photocopy of the vehicle documents with the VIN numbers, but now all they need to do is come to Nairaland, they don't even need to log on/be a member. God don butter dem bread big-time Even sef how many of those shouting for VIN numbers remember to request for the vital vehicle registration document to verify that the VIN displayed is valid and not a stolen car with a fake ID. Here in the UK, most car sellers would even block the plate number of the car they are selling due to the fact that this can also be cloned and used to purchase fuel and run off without paying or used to enter the congestion charge area or commit other traffic violations, talkless of revealing the unique reference number (VIN) of the car. To whom it may concern; Not all cars have VIN numbers on their windshield |
