valarinz: Appears the word accidented has another definition with you. Cosplay has shown you one. Others who have shame have tucked their tails reading silently at the background. Why are you adamant in the face of simple facts ? ![]() 9 Likes |

Cosplay: Lol,even the mileage corresponds with what I displayed and for all the noise you've been making since about being too smart and busting a fraud dealer, all you could find is a missing bumper. Thanks for helping my biz, already got new clients now, seems most Nigerians don't mind missing bumpers as much as u do. Tnx for your time

chronique: Sir, i appreciate your comment, so reasonable. Am not a car dealer, but i know clean title cars are expensive. Some clean title 2010 camry on carsforsale.com can go as high as $7,000 - $10,000(that's almost 2.5m - 3m in naira without shipping and clearing), by the time you take it to your stand, you've spent almost 4m naira on just one car without adding your profit/gain. Who will pay 4m for a muscle camry? Money will be tied down for months. Because of this huge cost, some dealers prefer bringing in crashed cars that will be less expensive which is bad as long as the cars are not irreparable. But sir, what am saying is, if a dealer is bringing in accidented cars, he should let the buyers no about the accident/the history. I dont know if you'll believe that some dealers will import extremely crashed/flooded/rollover cars with about 300k or more on the odometer. They will roll back the odo. They will tag it accident free/clean title with huge price. Like you said, some crashed cars are expensive and i agree. But the reason for this thread is why tagging a car accident free/clean title when the car has been badly damaged, rolled over, with deployed airbags, damaged frames and like that. I dont have any reason to hate anyone, am not not a dealer. We should just be sincere to ourselves. 14 Likes 3 Shares |

I think we’ve all read these heated debates and we can all see that some of these usernames we think are dealers are merely middlemen who have little idea about the history of the cars they advertise, the last guy was shocked that I could get the history of his vehicle and the vin without his knowledge.

valarinz:valarinz, I respect you a lot for standing by one brand. There is no need issuing threats. I checked out the thread, that car is accidented naa. The accident wasn't bad. Only rear bumper and minor blemishes on the right side. Truth is most Nigerians cannot and will not even if they have the means, buy clean titles. The campaign is just full disclosure. Just leave it at that Bro. 7 Likes

Mclovin4: Exactly bros, if clean title cars are too expensive, then go for crash cars. The reason we buy tokunbo cars is simply because brand new cars are too expensive. If you bring in a crashed car and you worked on the body, sprayed it, replaced parts like the bumpers, lamps, fenders, doors, windshield and like that. You can't tag it accident free, buyers should know and if they don't buy others will buy. 2 Likes |

Explorers: @ highlighted, this is the whole point of this thread, which sadly, quite a lot of people missed and some going on and about how Nigerians can't afford clean title cars if imported. How does not being able to afford clean title cars relate to not being transparent ![]() It boils down to integrity, which many of us lack in Nigeria. 5 Likes |

Where does one even start. With the responses and insults and threats and debates from both sides of this issue, I believe the aim of this thread is being achieved. The awareness is being created. And no matter what psychological games these dealers play aimed at trying to discourage buyers from running history checks including VIN, we should not fall for them. |

Explorers:pls let's not exaggerate these things. Whites buy these cars in their numbers, fix them up and sell at dealerships. They use these cars there a lot. In fact they drive up the prices at auction as a result of their interests and having excess cash cos they don't get to ship and pay custom duty. The campaign is full disclosure. 2 Likes |

Emmyk: Thank you bros, that's the purpose of the thread. Ive been called different names, some even said we're trying to stop importation of salvage vehicles. How many civil servants can afford clean 2010 camry? Na to buy salvage now, fix am. But some of these dealers import over salvage cars and tag them accident free. 10 Likes 1 Share |

valarinz:Sometimes we need to think outta the box so we do not get stagnant. The reasons I stopped was I found out its a waste of time cos it takes longer and ties ur money down.I never claimed it was cos of other sealers rather the Biz is now full of what seems to be cheaper newer cars.We are now finding out why these cars are cheaper, Also when I was in the line of blaming other Dealers it was not genralizing rather the few bad eggs who do sharp practice, Now this brings me to wonder, are you amongst the few bad eggs who engage in sharp practices?cos im wondering why U picked up on a post that was sent in that direction! 3 Likes 1 Share |

chukel:Hey we cannot suger coat shyte, people abroad buy these cars only if there is no structural damage and lebelled as repairable.Moreso, you will have to take these cars for inspection and it has to pass all safety checks, something very expenssive to do.Often its cheaper to buy a new car than this accident and damaged one hence the Insurance coy writes it off. 2 Likes |
Re: Shocking Transformation Of Some Crashed Cars Sold In Nigeria (Photos) by valarinz: 2:16pm On Mar 05, 2018 |
chukel: Ok bro, but from what u just saw, what was I supposed to tag the car ? "Accidented"? NB : Note there was no structural damage to even the rear chassis that house that bumper, so will that make me to tag my car as accidented cos I change bumper or paint some minor dents on the door? Note that the genesis of this attack on my personality is that I dared to have a different opinion from the way ericko saw it after his car sales adventure didn't quite work out well and despite all the noises, the only dirt he could pull was a fallen bumper Waiting.. |

erico2k2: Now we're in more familiar territory. Getting cars registered isn't as easy elsewhere as it is in Nigeria. There are tons of checks. Emissions, etc etc. Roadworthiness in Nigeria is a huge joke, it isn't in North America. If, after all these repairs chukel alluded to, these vehicles don't pass any of the DMV tests, good luck registering and using that vehicle legally. 2 Likes |

erico2k2:exactly. That's why you have the Mexicans with their cheap labor almost allover the states. But again, let's not derail this thread. Alot of shady practices have been going on here with the dealers. This is one very good move. I just hope the mods will enforce VIN as a requirement for adverts. Atleast a lot of people have been enlightened so they don't see honest dealers who bring in clean titled cars as greedy fellows who sell at exorbitant prices. Next door should be the custom clearing agents. Please this trend should continue. Especially unearthing fraudulent people who label salvage cars as accident free. 1 Like |

erico2k2: So, what are you now saying pls?? Or you think I'm afraid of the herd? No matter how many you people are in number, ill stand my ground and debate it out until it becomes clear to the neutral observer who has a case and who doesn't, you expect me to go and hide somewhere cos I want to let the thread go quiet for me to resume selling accident Japanese cars?? I will keep running my mouth, I have more than 20 Toks car ad on NL, show me that at least 1% of the cars are accident cars so I'll apologise and promise to turn a new leaf |

Re: Shocking Transformation Of Some Crashed Cars Sold In Nigeria (Photos) by Ipfreely: 2:23pm On Mar 05, 2018 |
Almost all these severely accidented or flooded vehicles you see getting 'repaired' and sent to Nigeria, would never pass DMV checks and wouldn't legally be allowed on the roads. The repairs to get a vehicle legally roadworthy in North America can be very expensive and extensive, depending on the damage. |
