    Gud morning fellow tsikot members.

    Has anyone experienced buying a car through car ads here in Tsikot?

    I am just wondering why most Car ads here in tsikot do not indicate the contact number of the seller especially those ads that are extremely cheap; example an ad selling his RAV 4 2005 model for only Php 100,000.00. If I want to buy a car from these ads, my questions are:

    1. How could I contact the seller with no contact number in the ad?
    2. How could I verify whether the ad is "real" or "nanloloko lang"?

    Thanks for your replies!

    I agree! Might have questionable documents sir or a flooded unit thats why it's so cheap. Be very careful unless you personally know the owner.

    Actually some of the sellers are from car sale depot. most of the time they post downpayment price rather than selling price to lure buyers thinking hey its cheap

    The car finder here in tsikot should have additional search features like filtering poster accounts which are newly created.

    There are a lot of spam sellers and this will help us filter out bogus deals.

    TSIKOT, please do us a favor:
    Kindly remove this CHAN WAZIR fake adds. (and that is only one of many actually !)

    DO NOT BE FULLED if you buy a car. Always see and test drive the car. Take time to verify the documents. Go to LTO, Poline and check if vehicle has not been stolen. Request insurance documents and check if there are already an insurance claim on this car.
    Request for proofs: OR or the car, CR from LTO, all the receipts paid for maintenance...etc...
    Bring a mechanic to have the car checked or bring it to the garage for checkup before buying the car.
    Well... in short, if you do not buy from a friend or a friend of a friend, do not trust the dealer.
    Basic rule: unless you can meet and talk with the dealer or owner, unless you can try the car and have it inspected all you like, then forget about it and move on to the next serious dealer.
