House, be careful of ads on NAIRALIST that have no contact phone numbers and office addresses but only email address. They are not traceable and not real. Their adverts could be appreciated for fine car pictures ONLY and not for any serious consideration or commitment. such names as Gatewayautos, prestineautos . A word they say is enough for the wise. T thanks |

sultaan: Might I add - implosion fueled by NL credibility |
Re: The Preorder Mess by Bobajo(m): 5:11am On Aug 29, 2010 |
sultaan: Mobile phones and the internet!!! What will it not cause? Let me add my own experience this last week. I was looking to buy a 2001 4runner, which to my amazement is not readily available in the market. I said okay, let me do the alternative, a Pathfinder. So to Nairaland i turn, and i saw this splendid wine colored one listed by EMESHOT. I scheduled an inspection and drove from Lekki to Ajao Estate, wife and son in tow - a bloody waste of time considering that i charge my services per hour (i am a corporate lawyer, see). This fellow, this EMESHOT fellow, after keeping me waiting for nearly 45 minutes; seated in my car - he had no office, even though he had represented to me that his office is somewhere in that vicinity - surfaced from God knows where with another fellow and they both came up with this story of how the car had been moved to Apapa that morning. They didn't even know where the car was supposedly moved to in Apapa, just that it had been moved. I dont know what their game was, but i am too street wise to play along. I told both of them, very nicely - you never know what the game is so it's better to be nice - to get lost. I cut my losses and drove back to my office in VGC. The moral of this story: 1. I can never part with money for what i can't physically see and touch, at least not to somebody i haven't known for a while. And i am talking known as in his residence, wife, kids etc. I ADVICE EVERYBODY ON NAIRALAND TO DO SAME. (Pre order my foot) 2. We all have a duty of care to each other (all Nairalanders) to quickly raise an alert to any scam and scammer(s); to name and shame, and ensure other unsuspecting Nairalanders dont fall into the hands of these idiots and nuisances. |

Nairalanders be very careful of pre-order- See the picture below It is the pix of the boy behind gatewayautoinc on nairalist, my money is hanging with him but I thank God he was caught this afternoon and I hope he will pay for all his evil deals.

ikamo, you're one of the lucky few. just thank your stars. |
Re: The Preorder Mess by JohnKester: 7:46pm On Sep 16, 2010 |
Ikamo Please do not fail to update us as some of us are keenly interested in the outcome of this development. This should serve as a most valuable lesson to all those who barked and barked and refused to bite the scammer. Ikamo quietly worked and now we can see the results of his effort ! Kudos! |
Re: The Preorder Mess by mastro: 9:04am On Sep 21, 2010 |
At this public forum,advertisers should submit their pictures, verifiable address of business premises, so as to make fraudsters traceable,be caught and punished. Its a public free forum so by it's very nature this can't happen, if Seun decided to impliment this and recover his costs by charging N200 per ad, 99% of the traders would disappear. It's unfortunate that for every "INSPIRED" there are "PTCONSULTS" for those of us who have been here a while the AGRIAUTOS standout like a sore thumb, but for those new and the less internet savy it will always be a problem, especially where you have the 419ers who actually know what they are doing and take their time to establish a decent posting record. |
Re: The Preorder Mess by GeorgeD1(m): 8:32am On Sep 24, 2010 |
mastro: i think this is a valid point. peeps here post all sort of rubbish because there are no restrictions and it's free. |
Re: The Preorder Mess by metrixauto: 12:42pm On Sep 24, 2010 |
As we have genuine dealer who preorder,so also we have fake and dubiuos ones,a point i will make is that preordering car save you some money to your pocket,also preodering car will make you buy the car as they are,what it means by that is that when yu preorder within a time limit mostly 45-50 days max,it will be difficult for anybody to sell salvaged cars to you as a clean auction car,because 80% of cars that are sold are all salvaged but there is no way you as a buyers can know,in this regard wen buying cars always asked for A CARFAX REPORT/HISTORY OF THE CAR,to be sure your car is not a salvaged ones,so my advice is that wen you want to preorder your car carry out your due dilligent about the dealer,and also asked for the dealership licence of such person/dealer to confirm the real status,because a lot of people claimed to be buying cars without being a licence dealer in America. We in METRIX AUTOS Condem this act and also dissociate ourself from these scandalous people,we need to let the good people of Nigeria Know that we are registered and licenced dealer in the state of Maryland USA we are also a licenced dealer/Member in MAINHEM GROUP INTERNATIONAL,which is the largest autos aunction market in the world which also specialise on only CLEAN AUCTION CARS.We guarantee you the quality of cars we buy for you,we do not buy salvaged cars and we also give you the carfax report to assure you the clean auction title of your car.

Well just like every other business there are dubious and bogus deals, even do you guys want to tell me that people that try to buy cars in Naija doesn't get duped as well. Some of us doing it are good and trustworthy. I have an SUV for sale just posted you can check it out.

we are still waiting. fingers crossed. |
Re: The Preorder Mess by calculusx(m): 5:12pm On Oct 15, 2010 |
Pre-order is not only good but it saves money. I have been buying Cars for people sight unseen from USA for about 2yrs now and they are stunned and surprised with what i got for them for a Cheaper price but only for close relations and families and i got lots of referrals too. Can anyone also believe i met my USA dealer physically in Nigeria just this year after a year of transacting with him without any Complain. I do acknowledge the fact that there are bad eggs out there spoiling the good ones but ones name and integrity have to be protected. Watch out for my upcoming Cars on NL. I'm catching fun on NL reading so many comments,discussion forum and reviews. |

Re: The Preorder Mess by calculusx(m): 10:22pm On Oct 16, 2010 |
@ George and Jumpstart, thx bro, I have been reading comments and reviews from both sellers,buyers and observers for more than 1hr. My Question is Vin or no Vin,most Nigerian buyers can not buy a clean title car in Nigeria cos most sellers wants a good deal for a cheaper price forgetting that nothing good comes easy so i will implore buyers to be reasonable with their pricing to avoid buying cars too good to be true. It took me almost 9months to sell a Clean Title 2004 Nissan Quest last year for a reasonable price but luckily for me it was sold to someone who appreciated the Transparency shown. More-so on accident or non-accidental cars, the level and degree of accident really matters and to someone who said accidental Cars are cheaper in USA,i disagree. Its the level of the accident,type of title and millage that really determine the cost of purchase in USA @ Seun thx for sharing your view on Vin or no Vin issue, i implore buyers to also be reasonable with their pricing as cheap price may be too good to be true, we know money isn't easy to come across but transparency shown by honest dealers should also be appreciated. Happy Weekend NLs |

Lets make more awareness about this portal as i got to know about NLs after years in Auto business. There are lots to learn on NairaLand. Many thanks to the administrator. |
Re: The Preorder Mess by xandy84: 1:23am On Nov 05, 2010 |
i believe no right reason person will pre-order car in this days, what about of the car does not land safely? what about if you dont like the car?lots of things can happen in transit even if the sell have good intention so let him import his car and you buy when you can see the value for your money than put your miney were your hand can get to and you know you dont have a visa to America so such situation can go from bad to worse |
