halima83:Costly mistake. If you don't want the car you can cancel the transaction or ask them to put the car back to auction. Note that they will charge you the difference between what you should have paid and sale price ( if sold at price less than what you should have paid). They will also charge you auction fee and other fee. Your auction Access will be cancelled in case you don't pay this cost. Call them to let them know but they will want you to pay for the car then put back to auction |

halima83:Congrats on your purchase. Car will drive when it arrives Nigeria don't worry about the non driving bla bla Do everything possible to get replacement parts (and spares if possible) in the USA, as parts of this car cost a fortune in Lagos. As at two months ago, the front bumper cost 170k, headlamps 80k each, fender 45k each, grille cost 160k. Goodluck! 3 Likes |

halima83:that car is done!! better reject the purchase and pay a small fine. you'd spend a fortune and that car still won't function properly in Nigeria, not to talk of how highly unsafe it'd be. that's no Toyota Corolla by the way  |

Ford edge a nice car you have two options here 1. rear impacted cars are easily repaired than front impacted cars. one the car is cleared there are professional panel beaters and oven bake painters around. but ford parts are expensive though. you will buy a neat skeleton rear door without glass since the rear glass is not shattered, tokunbo pumper and liner, one rear light is still there you will get a tokunbo rear ligth, all repair cost should not exceed 400k. and ford edge and explorer are very expensive now in nigeria market. we sold a nigerian used ford edge for 6.5 million, and we have a ford explorer nigerian used which the owner price pegged at 7.5 million. once you can give it to a good panel beater and painter, give it a good package and you can sell at least 6m since its foreign used. assuming it has a frontal impact you will spend more like buying radiator and fan, condenser, evaporator, pulley, drive belt, brain box since its located under the water guard pathway between the windscreen and bonnet, powersteering pump, engine and gear mountain, water expansion tank, wind screen water cleaner tank, water hoses, ac hoses, full light, bumper, fog light, vender side, and possibly opening up d engine for repairs if a knocking sound is heard which could be failed oil pump, bend valve, wrong timing, broken timing chain, failed timing chain vanos, bend crankshaft, bend camshaft, wear metal, cracked aluminium engine block, bend shaft drive and balljoint, and bend chasis, replacing steering wheel due to airbag coming out. etc. 2. before export put some goods in this car to cover for loss, put goods like used laptops, phones, used graded shoes, car batteries, plasma TV, wrist watches etc and fill it to the brim. one it arrive nigeria and cleared you can make extra profit from those goods, at least the ford edge can contain 100 laptops |

halima83: There is nothing you can do about it, its just that you will lose your initial deposit to the auction for restocking or relisting as they call it. Next time you want to buy a car, i suggest you ask questions first before you proceed. The auction house probably listed the vehicle as having mechanical failure and the price will be very cheap so you went straight to the buy now option instead of waiting to bid for it. Next time you want to buy a car make sure its under the runs and drives category. |

halima83: Check the website of the auction very well to see thier policy. It happened to me back in 2010, I used copart. What i did was to pay them $400 so they could relist the car. That was the company's policy as of then So check the policy and then figure out, how much are supposed to pay for the car? And how much is the penalty if you are no longer interested on the car. That will guide your decision. If you want to take the high road, Call the company and tell that your kid made an authorized purchase, if they don't work with you here, you will call your credit or debit card company and dispute the charge. That's a long shot tho but it might work. Good luck |

if you are an exporter its advisable that you pay off the d money, if not they will blocked your auction account pending when you pay the storage fees on the said car, In america i am not sure if you can load the car on top of a small towing, find out before buying the second car, asuming you know it would have been better you pay 100 usd extral for container shipment instead of buying a second truck, ......as regards to Ford edge, yes it cost in Nigeria but buying accident free and Run and drive of Ford edge is better than buying Ford Edge accidented with the hope u will fixed it in Nigeria, Ford edge parts are very costly in Nigeria, next time if you need help as regards to cheap shipping from the US let me okay |

I wonder why people are giving the op considerable time and attention in answering the question she posted. Op is a well known prevaricator.... From Toyota corrola to Ford! And to add, she has a history of falsification. Look at this tread by same Op where she was busted: https://www.nairaland.com/3298977/husband-urinated-while-sleeping |

santricedupas: Give advice of what you know that is an 06 to 09 Ford edge with a tokunbo value of not more than 4.5m for extremely low mileage. How can a sane person now buy an accident one for 6million. Ok let's say I don't even know it's accident one how do you want to sell something with basic price 4m for 6m are you a god of marketing? |
