I'll tell you straight up!
IT IS A BIG SCAM!!!
I sell cars, someone posing as a white man called me up from Jiji asking to buy my car, A G-wagon, since I accept payments in crypto, he opted to pay in Bitcoin, I sent him my wallet address but he declined to send it there saying he only uses Xuptrade.com (which looks and feels like a standard exchange to an extent) for the security of his coins. He advised I open an account with Xuptrade which I did, sent him the wallet address generated on the platform and true to his word he 'sent' the bitcoin (he overpaid, a red flag for me), the coins reflected on the Xuptrade account I opened.
At this point, I was already suspecting something fishy but I decided to play along, thereafter I tried to withdraw the coins, that was when it became evident it was a carefully taught out scam scheme trying to prey on the greed of the unsuspecting public, I was asked to make a payment of $200 to another bitcoin wallet to activate transfers to wallets outside the Xuptrade platform, mind you this guy hadn't even come to inspect the car he was paying over 10million naira for.

This is the 2nd result that comes up when you Google your crooked company, so you should all go and sleep

For your information, the person who raised that thread has been fully refunded and the car in question recalled.

Thank you

Carsbazr has facilities that hold over 1000 Nigerian used cars in Lagos, Abuja and PHC, these cars are locally used (not brand new) which means they come in varying conditions.

For your information, Carsbazr sells cars "as is" (which means the cars are sold in the same condition in which they were bought from the the previous owner). The cars are sold only after a 200-point check has been carried out by seasoned engineers (which includes Test Driving that you so stressed on).

A report is generated based on observations during the 200-point check, the inspection conducted against industry standard and the same is documented and pasted on every single vehicle, Carbazr will never sell you a car until you have gone through the report and you're satisfied with the condition of the vehicle.

Carsbazr does not allow test driving because the cars have already been test-driven by seasoned engineers and the observation documented for customers perusal, also because of space constraints at the various facilities around the country.

Perhaps you buy Tokunbo cars abroad, can I ask you if you test drive them before shipping them down to Nigeria?

I dare you to come forward at the location you claim you had this experience with the vehicle you bought and if the condition of the vehicle does not tally with the inspection report which must have been conspicuously pasted on the vehicle (and shown to you) does not tally with the standing condition of the car then you have a case, otherwise you really do not have a point.

Cars45/Carsbazr buy and sell an average of 40-50 cars on a daily, no other Nigerian automobile company has matched that till date.

I think the company deserves some accolades for making the buying and selling of Nigerian used cars as seamless as possible.
