Its good to know people are concerned about the history of the car, however i believe checking the realiability of the car by test driving the car is very important because i work with Honda in miami florida and sell brand new cars. I have seen a lot of cars with good history that develop serious porblems and a lot of these cars you call "accidented" cars are not what you think it is.
    I'm going to shed more light into it because we Nigerians are just one way people. First of all an accidented report on a title is just saying that your insurance on the vehicle would go up when you try to insure it. Second no matter how small the dent is, even if it’s a fender bender, it is taking into consideration because there is a lotta of insurance fraud going on in the states here, thats why its recorded. These records do not actually mean the car was in a serious accident. Now there is also a DMV. That certifies these cars safe for driving after they have been fixed. I want to confidently tell you that 80% of all the cars in the states have been in one fender bender of the other but not all is recorded on the title. So the question to you is does your Vin check validate the reliability of your car.? I don’t think so. To all the buyers please confidently check the car and test drive is to make sure its in good condition.  vin check or no vin check.
   Now to all to all those who have never been to the states and feel all they can do is to bad mouth fellow Nigerians trying to make a little money and put food on the table for their families, its time to shut up and get a life. All the cars been sold in Nigeria today are all sold below cost price and there is no way dealers can make a dime if they don’t buy from the auction. These car dealers go through a lot to get these deals and there is no seller on this naira land that can confidently tell me they do not buy cars from the auction be it iaai, copart, sadisco ,  and so on just name it all.
   This is just to make all the buyers aware that regardless of whatever the title says please test drive that car and have a mechanic double check it to make sure all is well. I love this site, proud to be a Nigerian and I'm happy this is the EBay  for Nigerians. Have a good xmas guys. ;-)

If you are new in this auto section, Kindly runaway from any advert that the dealer is hiding the VIN/chassis number, There must be something fishy with the history that made it so, is either the mileage is wrong or accident/salvaged title.
To be continued . . . . . . .

Busy_body:


Igwe desist from this campaign, when you throw stones into the market, the chances of it hitting someone you know is very very very high For your own good, let it go, give peace a chance

why is everyone against this
igwe?

[b] Igwe has  refused to give them the chance to cheat on his people as they used to do before.
Some of them even posed unfounded allegations with their multiple user names  to discourage him from standing on the truth but they won't succeed at all

This VIN/Chassis no. stands to give you the complete history of the vehicle from the day it was first sold after manufacture. This information is very comprehensive. It includes all registrations, last recorded odometer/mileage,accidents and the status(branding and salvage) of the vehicle.

I believe you find  answers to your question as you go through this documentation:-

# Be aware of odometer tampering. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that consumers lose billions of dollars a year to odometer fraud. Odometer readings may be rolled back or documents can be forged. Making miles disappear helps increase the car's value to the seller, but can mean increased maintenance and repair costs to the buyer.

Before deciding on a used car, do the math. Industry standards claim the average vehicle accumulates about 12,000 miles per year. If the mileage seems excessively high or low in comparison, find out why. Ask the seller if you can see the maintenance records and compare them with the mileage on the odometer itself. Examine the car for telltale signs. Is wear on the car's pedals, tires and seats consistent with the miles displayed on the odometer? Obtain a detailed vehicle history report. If the seller cannot provide this information, you can use the vehicle's 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) to secure a history from either the state or a private vehicle history company. You can search the web to find companies providing this service by looking under the topic of "vehicle history."

# Watch out for damage disclosure, salvage and rebuilt titles. These titles are issued by states when the car has sustained damage as a result of one or more incidents. Salvage titles are issued by the state when an insurance company takes possession of a vehicle as a result of a claim. This usually occurs when a vehicle has been declared a total loss. A rebuilt title may be issued if a vehicle sustained damage and was rebuilt or reconstructed, then placed back on the road. Junk titles are issued when a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be titled again in that state.

# Be careful of individuals selling used cars from a vacant lot or from the side of the curb. These vehicles may be sold by con men posing as private individual sellers. The car can come with hidden problems. Before buying any used car you should thoroughly research the car and the seller.

Beside this I don't see any other reason for the attacks. 
I believe it will be for the best interest for the buyers to let everything be made known in a public here where we have team of professionals in the like of siena and others to analyze both the stated features and price quotes with respect to the supposed content, [/b]

If you know how it irritates me on remembering your initial posts about your so called Ndubisi,
Kindly respect your shameless self and read instead of being mischievous boy!

Cosjo:

Agu Arinze, you go fear fear when i reveal everything, just dey watch dey go.

Reveal what?
The more you get to know me the more shameful and remorseful you become.
I guess you don't have an Adviser, This is my candid advice for u;
You shall be judged by the things that come out of you.So be careful on everything you do or say in life
You can never tell tomorrow.
Life is full of mysteries. . . . . . .

agaba123:

Well, I cannot say if Igwe is guilty of bribery or not. The only thing I am sure of is that Igwe has been campaigning for the provision of VIN  for every car listed in nairaland before dec 6th.

That accusation may be wrong.
The only problem I have with Igwe is his interest in busy_body

igwe 1:

[b]lol
Agaba, how can it be true?? why should I be bribed to do what is right?? To be identified with good people of Nairaland has turned into another thing to corrupt minds.People meet each other everyday and Igwe's own has turned into an extra ordinary thing.One speaks what he knows best.
Well, I can't denial am not worthy of identifying with sha!
Thanks for standing in for the truth but fo[b]r busy_body ,you need to indicate serious interests b/4 I can surrender to your yells.[/[/b]b]
