I will expand on what FTC said. Get a court affidavit for the sales details when going to the police, with that you will be able to obtain a Police Extract from the Nigerian Police. It costs somewhere around 2k to 4k depending on the police station, division or command. Armed with the above before and after purchase, you are no longer liable for any fallout arising from the purchase of the said vehicle because the police already attested to the originality of the transaction by issuing an Extract on file. If he won't go to the police with you then RUN!

Do due diligence by contacting the company without informing your friend

kerry57:
Just go and buy a new car direct from the makers store or stand and collect ur receipt. Do not go for used cars whether naija or foreign used. I know u can do it believe me.
Naija police can deny u, them go say them no know u again o.

Are you for real?

Youngaboy:
My friend want to sell a car, he has been using this car for long, but the issue is that, the car papers bears a company's name, the company he was working with.
Asking him, he said his boss bought the car for him from the company, and he want to sell the car now, so I don't know what and what to check, I don't want to buy a stolen car that'll put me in trouble later.
Please if you know anything I can do to verify this, please do let me know.
It's urgent before someone else buy the car.

Mod front page please.

Must you own a car?Do you even have a house in the village?

Hezzyluv:


If you agreed with him on the price, then both of you should go to police station close to you and seal the deal. By so doing, you save meyourself from trouble in the future. That's if it's a stolen car.

If the car happens to be a stolen one and the owner recovers it,how will he get his money back?

illuminutty:


Tell me more about this. My present car was bought in Cotonou and it is due for change. I lost the contact that led me to Cotonou and facilitated the deal including clearing and delivery to Lagos.

I can give you lead whenever you are ready

Scam

Kajaard:


I wonder why we keep asking questions that even nursery kids can answer.

Since you know the name of the company he used to work for, why don't you just go there and enquire from the HR or Admin department if really the car was stolen or has been passed on to the guy legally?

I just tire for some kind of questions sha.

He may not be aware of your suggestion

Extremely shameful! I don't think some people got brain other than humor.....

Are you for real?

Yes, only with ur faith if u believe. Those that buy them new aren't two headed.

Go to the nearest High court and swear affidavit that you bought the car from the Mr.seller whose car was formerly owned by a company, get your barrister to stand as a witness during the signing of the car documents/receipts.

Let a ranking Police officer also be aware of the transactions too by getting a written report.

Take pictures/videos during the signing ceremony.
This will vindicate you if any case arises.

First do a due diligence. Confirm from the company if the vehicle was actually sold to him in the first place. After confirming then let him do a change of ownership, this will come with a police report. This is when he can transfer ownership to you.
Finally, you can go ahead and buy form him in your name.

08029126176 let’s talk here, calls or WhatsApp.

Why did the boss not do transfer of ownership? Did the boss steal the car?

Revolution2022:
If the car happens to be a stolen one and the owner recovers it,how will he get his money back?

And the person that sold the car to him has died

President2001:

This is a very good advice but bet it with me Police will tell you the officer that attend to you is not from there station

And the record, evidence and stamped portion of the agreement??

You can know this if the vehicle has Lagos Number Plate you can call me if you want to know if its not a stolen one

Call 08035917786 if you want to know

You will be the scapegoat when yawa Don gas . Don't go to police station buy visit the Company without him knowing about the visit

Fiscus105:




He supposed to have changed it to his name long time before now.


Meanwhile, in addition to other advice above, you can also go to court with him and do affidavity

Best advice so far!
if anything happens in future, it is the Court that will have the final say so, getting the protection of the Court from the onset, puts you in a good place.

BTW, it is spelt Affidavit

Gbam !!! You talk Sense

Flag the plate number, and get the chassis number of the car at FRSC, thank me later

You can contact the company to verify his claims or go to the nearest police station to seal the deal as someone has also mentioned above.

Pls Note: Police will want you to settle them

Revolution2022:
Scam

My boy everything is not a scam

Copy the Number plate and give it to a Road Safety Officer to verify it for you. He will get the original owner of the vehicle for you.
