Please I need an answer to a very important question which I believe will be beneficial also to every reader and thus save them the embarrassment and extortion from over zealous and greedy customs men.
Someone recently told me of how he was stopped by customs men on the highway and was delayed for hours for not having customs papers on a car he has driven for five years(he had his vehicle license,Insurance,road worthiness etc all intact). He claimed he ended up parting with so much money to regain possession of his car.
Because of that encounter,he's now demanding for the customs paper before he buys a car and it may not really be available since the car has passed through two previous owners over 6 years.
My question is this: how long is a car meant to be on the road before such car is free from presenting customs papers.

7 years
