So there's this car vendor on Instagram that sells few months or few weeks used imported cars, mostly Lexus tho.

H recently posted a car and said it was sold only for me to see another person post that same car for sell meaning the car wasn't sold.

A lot of people says his deals are genuine, I just wanna know if anyone from here has done business with him.

Thanks.

PS, I am looking to buy my next car from him.

Please I'd appreciate your responses.

Rule of thumb: Don't do big online transactions unless you know their physical offices.

When it smells like scam, ITS DEFINITELY A SCAM!


When buying a car, get a trusted mechanic( one which won't betray u for money). Then go inspect the Car. Don't do that online stuff, otherwise they might send you a car which engine might knock in a few weeks( if you are lucky) or you won't even see d car at all

Naija used cars is a no no. Most times you will regret it. If you must buy naija used, look for direct owners on jiji. That platform is very reliable. When you get a direct owner, you get a chance of knowing the actual status of q car. Before I got my Lexus, I saw one that was used and advertised as buy and drive. When I met the agent he said everything is intact I told him lets take it to a diagnostic center, he first said I will bear the exorbitant cost I agreed he later said he is not going. Then I came with a mechanic who found out the engine has ring problems. I left the car but called back with a new deal that will leave me some change to change the engine completely he agreed at first. Then he changed his mind and said car is sold in the same day. The next day however, I found this same car on Facebook, few month used, buy and drive 100$ as posted by another car agent. In all ur dealings with these liars, u need to be on ur A game. If not they will run around u, through u and within you. Most of these cars the agents post, they've never seen them, just pictures they have.

This is very true about jijj,though its a good platform but sometimes its flooded by agents who have not seen the car.I Was sourcing for a civic 2005 and I called for a clean one I saw on jiji,the agent said everything is intact I went for inspection nd I found out that Ac is bad,gearbox is fried ,rooflining is falling,and enough dents,the picture that was posted on jiji was when the car was newely bought and what I saw physically was a shadow of itself.The stupid agent told me to agree with the seller how much I wud pay and go and change gearbox and Ac unit.I just gbaga.physical inspection in a public place is very very important when buying a car please and please

Thanks for this, this actually makes a lot of sense.

I have always wondered why someone will import a car and use it for a week, few weeks or few months and then sell it.

You can check the handle to see what I mean........ now i know he might not even be the direct source
