I suggest a vehicle that is more than 7 years old should be disqualified by the moderator.

I see all manner of posts in this section on vehicle sales. I guess we need to standardize posts ----- i.e. set minimum requirements. For instance, I suggest a vehicle that is more than 7 years old should be disqualified by the moderator. So goes for any post that does not include photos, VIN, model, price etc. What do you think, fellow nairalanders? Let us take this section to the next level!!

lol, everyone wants to eat him up. . .
. . . but his idea of 7yrs old cars out of the picture, is where he jumped for the bridge and missed. hook, line, sinker, and bait ,

Guess the worry here is about salvage and rebuilt cars.

Maybe I'm wrong but I suspect the majority of actual and potential car buyers on Nairaland are not in the market for multi-million naira cars (yes, I know we also have the affluent amongst us but as is typical of the Nigerian situation, they are in the minority). I would venture to say most budgets would range under N1.5m.

Now, salvage/rebuilt titles are generally cheaper and more affordable. If a dealer is willing to pass the cost savings to the customer, this whole issue would not be such a big deal.

Let's face it, some accidents that are reported on CARFAX and AUTOCHECK are not serious enough to raise the kind of paranoia that bursts loose in some people's minds. Some of these accidents can be likened to a sleepy driver hitting your car from behind in Lagos traffic. Importers of these cars can easily get a document called the Accident Report which details everything that occured and that can help decide if the accident was serious enough or not. The key here is a willingness to pass on the savings in the form of a reduced price to the customer.

I challenge any dealer on this forum to consider a thread for Salvage/Rebuilt titles, methinks the customer traffic might become too much to handle

Eat him alive over the 7 year clause, just remember to spit out his bootlaces.

Are you throwing jabs at Babeisme? Odometer tampering is a serious allegation. I guess Babeisme can speak for self. Proven cases of dishonesty should attract sanctions. Another reason for maintaining a minimum standard!!!!!!
