I Am About To Buy My First Ever Car. Please Advice by mitey(m): 2:25pm On Jun 21, 2013
Finally, I have gotten enough for the ride I have been dreaming of for a while cool I have seen some good deals here on Nairaland that I will like to contact. But before I do, I need the assistance of NL Auto dealers and people who have bought second-hand cars here in Nigeria to give me insights on the whole process involved.


Like,

How do I pay? (I don't exactly like the idea of carrying millions on my person)

What are the factors to look out for when inspecting a second-hand tokunboh car?

How do I get the car delivered to my house when it has not been registered?

How long does the registration process take, and how much does it cost?


Thanks in advance.

Please, what is wrong with that?

There is really nothing wrong with that. But realistically, your 1st car will be involved in a lot of mishaps. Fender bender, scratches etc. Its just the natural progression of things. Life is a learning curve. Part of learning is mistakes. That can be expected realistically (unless of course you chose to live in a different world we all live in)

Even if you can afford it, i will advise you buy something about N1m range. After your perfection, you can buy a N10m car if need be.

Just my opinion. Don't take it personal.

Regards

I dont subscribe to paying money into any cardealer's account even me. The normal thing is for you to send your money into a trusted friend's account if you can't be there physically. Then your friend will pay for the car on your behalf. This must be done after proper inspection. However, make sure he is someone you trust his judgment or else he may collect his own share of the cake and give you lopsided information about the car. Most especially if its a fairly used car.
