Hello Friends, I just got a Nigerian used vehicle at a very good rate. I am yet to make changes in terms of documentation. I want to know what to do so as to be sure that I haven't bought a stolen car. Thanks. |

My dear...u dnt need to be afraid...once d docs re in tight,and u no d dealer too well...but when ever u try to pay for a ride dat in d actual sense u noticed dat is cheaper...do involve d police such dat d deposition of d dealer will tell u whether u re getting it right...but in d above circumstances and yet u were called up someday for any thing as regard to d car...den u can raise d exceptions in law as to reciever of stolen property....see d criminal code for more details |

Medicine after death y didn't u open this thread b4 buying. I hop u ve done change of ownership already n all d papers r in ur name. D price u bought d car can save u if it is stolen. Eg u can't buy a clean 2003 toyota highlander 500k n claim u don't kw it is stolen. Nw d most impt thing wen buying a naija used car is ur ability to reach n provide d seller ie if kasala burst. If u kw d seller n can reach n provide him if police say ur car is stolen then u dnt ve any problem go n flex ur car. U only worry if d seller is someone who u can't reach immediately if kasala burst. If u r caught with a stolen car police ll treat u lik an armed robber. Go n get a police report or clearance on d car in d nearest police station immediately 1 Like |

ozzugworlee: Thanks very much brother, I have all the original documents. I got the said car directly from the owner, my fear is he bought it also from someone but since then he wasn't able to do a change of ownership. I have copies of all transactions intact. Thanks again. |

shegzee43: Since he didn't do change of ownership b4 selling d car to u, did u see any car sales agreement bw ur seller n d previous owner whose name appeared in d document as at now. U shldnt ve paid until he has done change of ownership to ur name n all documents bearing ur name. Jst go to lincencing office n start changing documents to ur name |

ogawisdom: Sure! I have a copy of the agreement he had with the previous seller I also have an agreement with him. |

Ok....once u hve d agreement bw d seller and original owner,keep it...is a good omen....but get ur recent agreement and do d following procedure..( Am a lawyer, so ur safety is my concern) 1. With d agreement paper bw u and d seller...go to motor licence office 2. Tell dem that u want to do change of ownership. Is around 4K They will demand d agreement paper to make sure dat is nt a stolen good. They will issue u with d govt certify change of ownership dat will bear ur name heneforth. With dis...ur safe... 1 Like |

op,i dont think change of ownership is being processed again.the most u can do nowadays is re register the car in your name...easy-peasy.u will need to provide proof dat u bought it off someone..things changed after the introduction of the new number plates.the new plates are not transferable hence no need for change of ownership |
Re: Help! How Do I Confirm I Have Not Bought A Stolen Car. by ozzugworlee(m): 12:50pm On Feb 08, 2015 |
diportivo:No. Is still applicable. I did mine last month . D cost was 4k. |

ozzugworlee:No offence boss...u just got scammed...what u did is not on the data base of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT...THEY JUST PROVIDED U WITH A DOCUMENT SAYING OWNERSHIP HAS BEEN CHANGED ND DATS WHAT U INNOCENTLY PAID FOR..BUT THE VEHICLE LICENCE,AUTOREG I MEAN THE ONE PEEPS STICK ON THEIR SCREEN ,PLATE NUMBER ND PROOF OF OWNERSHIP AINT TRANSFERABLE...SO WEDA U BUYING A NEW, TOKUNBO OR NAIJA USED CAR..GET READY TO BUY NEW PLATES..ND REGISTER LIKE U GOT A BRAND NEW RIDE....I SOLD MY OLD CAR RECENTLY ND I REMOVED THE PLATES ..I JUST GOT IT REGISTERED TO THE NEW CAR I BOUGHT...SO I PAID LESS dan the usual 34k used in procuring all paper nd plates for a new car |

coolsegun2002: No problem with ur input...yes..I got d new plates myself registered but the problem was dat d autoreg and vechicle particulars was still bearing d dealer's name, so...what I did was dat I made researches and also sought info via my pals at d FRSC and police force ...but be dat as it may, d main issue wasn't d fact of changing of name..u can still make use of a vechicle dat still bears d name of d previous owner for years,d material thing to do is make sure dat u have an agreement paper dat links d transaction to u and also check whether d signatures are d same . Cos my clients do have problems with dat 1 Like |
