Below are the pictures of the car From car45 and real video of the car when I went to carry it

Your mistake , even if it was Angel Micheal that sells car, you can't pay without seeing what you're paying for

Sorry I don't mean to be rude but why would you buy a car you didn't inspect your self or someone you can send there and there's are comment on car45 misconduct on nairaland and you still fall victim sorry bro.... You just have to accept your loss or take the car that way

What do you want us to do now? You allowed yourself to be fooled, bear your cross. You should be happy you even see car at all.. In this hard time you carry money send for waten you never see.

how many more of car45 fraudulent dealings are we going to read on this forum?

Please ask your lawyer to file a complaint with the Consumer Protection Council. The body did a name change recently but it's still all about consumer protection.

The Council already has a file on Cars45 and action is about being taken. Please hasten to do it.

Man, you played yourself.
No sex before marriage, yet you're not a virgin - Hell No. I have to see and feel what I am paying for.
Just take your "L" and learn the lesson.

A mistake has been made. We are all humans and we make mistakes.

He needs an advice. The least you can do is offer him one.

What’s done is done.

@op sorry for your loss.

1. You can chose to institute an action against them in the Court.

Pros is that Legally you have a fairly solid claim - Misrepresentation is your best bet (Fraud has a higher threshold For dishonesty and you will most likely not succeed if you bring an action based on fraud).

Cons is that the legal process takes time in Nigeria. Your matter might still in court for the next 2 years - over how much, 200k? It may as well be costly in terms of finance, time and emotions.


2. File a complaint with the Consumer Protection Council, like someone alluded to abide. Pros, it’s less costly and in my opinion this is your best Bet. Downside is that this body is new and they may be unable to enforce their findings etc.

3. Sell the car back to them for 300k... Pros, you save and you can at least get part of your capital. Cons, you loose about 200k.

Hope this helps.

No interstate movement. How did you get into Rivers State? Wike is coming for you.

This one too mumu. I'm sure you're a simp in real life

Na mumu you be. I no pity you. They speak English upandan with your barrister lawyer.

Search nairaland and see peoples complains about that place.

No body for this nairaland dey recommend that place.

Write to them with your lawyers letter heading telling them of your plan to report them to Consumer Protection and also of your plan to sue them. They’ll surely invite you over.

You cant win the case for being so foolish

The probability of losing this case is very high unless you have a very sound and respectable lawyer which may even cost you more than the whole transaction cost.

Most of these companies especially online platforms always have TnCs that exonerate them of wrongdoings from afar. How many of us care to read their TnCs?

Nigerians are one of the most treacherous beings on earth. So dishonest that even under your nose they will want to get you swindled. So these platforms always incorporate clauses in their TnCs to protect them from Nigerians dishonesty. You may chose to check it I am certain you will find one.

Now to those that recommended Consumer protection, well you never can say never, but the last case I filed with them is still pending after my calls and mails.. They called me once but no way forward since January 2017.

Nigerians are the strongest to be able to cope in a country where nothing is guaranteed, free for all environment!

It is well

The photos of cars you see online will not reveal everything to you.

There're lot more to check out in a car before buying, sound of the engine, absorbers, stability, handling, sound from the wheel/shaft/rings/joints, balance, rusts, electrical issues, gear, etc. You negotiate with these.

Even if the car is Grade A tokunbo, i will still inspect before making payment.

Money wey you for give me make I arrange you sure Canada visa

cars45 won't let u test drive

so

it doesnt even make sense buying from them in the first place

op shld count his losses and move on.....sad reality.

do not buy a car u have not inspected......or else,anything wey ur eye see,u go need deal with am

I feel your pain bro. No one wants to be scammed of their hard earned cash. I think you should take them to court since u want that to be done. Most of ur actions aren't really wrong. I guess u made payment cos u trusted them and their reputation and they played you on that. Many online business are known for these acts. Taking them to court will be a good lesson and I hope you've learnt yours also.

Peace.

Just like buying no testing electronics.

I don't even know what to tell uwakwesab, to resell the car now might take cars45 months.

Like breach of trust, someone said it might take years.

Typical of most Nigerians we think we are very smart hence the guy have seen a very cheap car and want to quickly purchase it before another person overtake him and buy it, hence he threw caution to the wind and payed for a car he has not seen with his eyes

Everyone is blaming the OP, but no one is talking about the company selling scrab. Most Nigerians are just too dishonest
