Some dealers cant be trusted, so sincerely you are better off buying a used car yourself or getting a relative or friend abroad to buy the car privately for you and sending it to Nigeria. I will never buy a used car from a dealer Too many shoddy practices and one cannot tell the good from the bad until you are in it. Nigerian roads are bad enough and cars are under immense pressure so you need a safe and solid car. unfortunately Not all dealers are interested in that but their own profit margins. 1 Like |

sapiosexual1:not necessarily a nigerian bro. Most poor people who desperately want to be rich develop a wicked heart because of their heart desires. Typical example yahoo boys!!! Economic hardship has made the average nigerian to embrace deception and sees it as a way to live. Mind you some could have money and still be poor mentally so they will still be wicked at heart. 2 Likes |

sapiosexual1: Not just Nigerians my brother... Blacks in general .... As the colour of a black man is, it reflects the heart.... Blacks have a deadly wicked heart.... Very wicked, egocentric, greedy and self centered.... That's the reason why every black society looks like a pig farm. Nobody is concerned abut betterment of the society. But themselves ... 5 Likes |

iwadobo: Sir, you are not completely right about the prices tou quote both in naira and dollars. I am a car dealer and I buy tokunbo cars for people almost every week. This Honda 2005 full option costs less than 1.4m about two months ago. With all due respect, don't compare the Tokunbo cars in Cotonou to the remodeled accident tokunbo cars that litter Nigeria. 2 Likes

OP, your are extremely right. A close friend of mine and I, who I believe would be reading this thread have been checking Toyota Muscle for weeks, very frustrating. Good pictures you see online, but on getting to see the car, it has been nonsense all the way. From Iyana Ipaja, to Ogba, to Yaba. Jiji, olx etc. I have told him to add more money and let us buy toks. 1 Like |

McReoz: You know nothing. You want to restrict low or middle income earners from buying affordable cars...have you taken a look at the prices of new cars in the market today, especially in light of high import duties and spiraling exchange rates? I initially thought you were being sarcastic. I hope you got nowhere near real power, with this your anti-consumer stance. 5 Likes 1 Share |

neoapocalypse: Solution buy a Brand new car. Real life example: a lady bought a nigerian used kia rio 2014 @ 1m naira, she thought it was a good deal, she brought it in for servicing/a.c was no as cold as it should be. After inspection, a.c components were found to be parts of a different car. Parts replaced for a.c Brand new compressor, condenser, pipes, gas and labour charges. Total ~230k. Next car started overheating. Car was checked, and discovered it had a history of overheating, head gasket had been changed previously, cylinder head wrapped. Solution replace engine, cost total cost plus labour 600k. All this happened within 1 month ow ownership. It would take me less than 60secs to identify these faults. I'm sure the lady in question would not mind paying for 10 inspections instead of paying for the repairs for that car. 4 Likes |

I can't recall how many inspections I've done for one person just because we were looking for a good used car. A particular client called me to find a 2007 Honda accord, 3 month down the line, I've not found a unit that fits our taste due to some issues with the cars and dishonestly on the part of the sellers. 1. Last week, I went to inspect a unit of Honda accord, 2006 model, it lookd clean from inside and outside. Seller came and started his lie that he bought it less than 6 months and its brand new. But he is selling cos he got a 2014 model (a huge lie) I looked at the odometer and it read 153k miles ran a scan and other diagnosis discovered Front ABS were severed from the wheels and an O2 sensor was malfunctioning. Asked for price and seller said. 1.8m last. I laughed and went away disgusted. 2. I was looking for an Avalon 02-04 model, I met someone willing to sell his black 03 Avalon, it was obviously resprayed, he said his car has served him and has not broken down, he takes it to a company to service, I asked him if there's any fault he said NO single fault, I started inspection, tear on drivers upholstery, scan revealed 23 faults, including Knock sensor bank 2, AF sensor bank 1 and 2, cat below threshold bank 1 and 2, MAP an IAT sensor, and solenoid E electrical malfunctions. I asked his best price, he said 1.5m. I kept mute. Unplugged my scanner and went away. SMH for some car repair/maintenance company. 3. A lot of Abuja dealers now roll back odometers, and destroy all forms of registration details about the car, they do this with fraudulent VIO and FRSC officers, they now sell these cars as tokunbo. A lot of evil are going on in car sales one need to thoroughly investigate a car before he/she buys casket. 5 Likes |

sodams007: Forget it, checked both cars yesterday and they are rusted, the infiniti is already falling apart. The caretaker said will give me recent price when the welder working on it has finished work. Those cars aren't even that good for scraps. My mechanic friends says buying any of the two is like "using a sieve to fetch water in a basket" but if you are still interested send a number so when the welder is through I will hola you. 1 Like
