Some of the 3 phrases car dealers use to deceive prospective buyers

1. Na woman use am.
Bro na wash. I have fallen for this trick once and I will never fall again.it is believed that women don't use cars rough or women drive delicately so the car must still be in a good shape. That is a lie. Women are the worse car user and I say this with no apology. They don't pay attention to dashboard warnings, they don't check their fluids and this often lead to a damaged engine or a burnt gasket. If you see a car used by a woman for a long time, just check if the engine has been opened. My claims here are backed by my experience.

2. Direct Belgium standard.
Another Big lie here .once you have serviced your car with Nigerian oil,never call that car Direct Belgium standard. Driving your car on Nigerian road for 6 months is equal to driving it abroad for 3 years. Don't fall for this trick. Ensure you check well.

3. AC just needs gas toping/Small leakage.
Just be ready to buy compressor and condenser. All those lies are not necessary.some dealers also Intentionally tamper with the AC to hide an ailing engine. They know you will see how bad the engine is when you run the AC.

4.Distress sale.

If you want to sell your car on distress, you take it to Ladipo or apo and sell immediately at half the worth. Why would you tell me a distress sale Corolla is going for 2.5Million. bro how much be new one .

5.Japa sales
Just like distress sales,if you want to sell because of japa please take your car to a car stand. They will buy it sharp sharp.

6. The owner wants to see the alert before releasing the original Papers.
You don buy Gbese. either the custom papers are fake or it does not have at all . Some dealers will even show you electronic copies but it's all a strategy.

Add yours

no 5 is true...many Japa sales everywhere last year

You didn't add low milage especially for vehicle that's over 20yrs

What I noticed to avoid is

A car that is put up for sale as premium the seat shouldn't be covered or done by ofostry. It's a red flag.

The dashboard shouldn't be covered either or done by ofostry.

The smell from the interior should still has a trace of tokunbo.

There is one area that never lied in a car that has been over used
.
The doors handle both in and out.
The glass rollers button.
The gear handle and button.
The steering handle.
The brake and gas pendel rubber pad faded out or file from one angle. To the extent the iron will chop out as well.

Upholstery

Very informative. Nice one.

That used by a woman dey vex me sha

There's a woman that lives near my quarters, the woman dey drive rugged pass many men.

Na that "ac needs gas" wey dey always vex me more.

AC gas no pass 5k. Fill it, and let's talk.

Nothing to fix, it's a buy and drive/travel or travel to Abuja

Owner doesn't love automatic gears or owners doesn't love manual as the case may be.

Lol.The format plenty no be small. The one wey Dem go soon start to dey use na......"3 months used by an heavenly angel"

Check out the number 3 very well. I fall the victim of it.

Number 6 not too right. U can actually use electronic custom duty. There's nothing like original papers. The most important thing is the C-number..

Infact, u can travel with c number
..

Some will tell you it is few months used. the few months they refer to could be up to 60 months or more

That's why I always ship my own vehicles and hrlp procure as well. I can NEVER trust any Nigerian.

Below are the 2 40-footers I recently shipped from the U.S. and cleared in January.

Chai!.... Even lucifer marvels at the LIES TELLING PROWESS of the dude I bought my second car from!

Even the mumu panel beater I took along for verification (because he claimed to have profound knowledge about cars) couldn't see through the lies.

Weytin concern panel beater with machanical issues 😂😂

Abi o. Nigerians are complainers by default. I bet they'll do same thing if they were car dealers themselves

SHUT UP! CAN'T YOU DO YOUR BUSINESS WITH SINCERE HEART. THATS WHY YOU END UP WITH SICKNESS THAT THE MONEY YOU GOT THROUGH LIES CANT SAVE YOUR MISERABLE LIFE. NONSENSE!

ajimo54:


No dey ask reasons for sales. Just check what you are buying. If u like buy or go your way. My Venza 2010 is better than most belgium. It was purchased from a close neighbor of my younger sister in the USA wen it was just 42,000 miles in 2019. Up till now, No check engine!

No be Belgium be that

Porpulace:



7) Are you buying?
Someone else wants to buy this car sharp sharp oh.

very funny

O kere ju owo lo

Honestly it's my major concern now. I've been planning to buy a car for over 4months now, but worry is getting one that is truly toks.

Not that I don't have the money, but scammers too plenty

I was deceived into buying one Nigerian used car. From the day I bought it to the day I sold it I had plenty mechanics as friends.
However, I trashed all of them when I sold the car off. They are all criminals. They thought they have seen maga to de chop him money. Every other day i was at the mechanic repairing one thing or the other in the car.
Car that I bought for business took nearly all my money and threw me into depression.
Omo, right now even Nigerian used Biro I can never buy again
That car nearly killed me. My first ever car.
God forbid!

1. Every car on nairaland is six months used.

2. 2008 car upgraded to 2018, especially Lexuses

3. Used by a woman . Na this one dey off me pass. Fuxn sexist

Some women rugged pass NURTW drivers.

Werey

Mummyfour:
On the number 1, I disagree with you.
If you see the car I have been driving for 16 years as a woman, you wont believe it.
I bought the car brand new in 2007 and mechanics and people don't believe I have used it for that long.
I do the maintenance and everything is working.
But if course wear and tear can be noticed on the leather seats which I eventually covered with a car seat cover.

I have friends too whose cars are well maintained.
I have also seen cars driven by women.
So if the guys tell you that it is a woman driven car, they are right to an extent because they know what they are talking about.

Rough women drivers and women that don't maintain cars are fewer than men.

So on this I disagree with you

Ma'am, please anytime you ready to sell, I get interest. Will pay well, trust me

hmmmn
