Hello house, please I want to know the documents needed wen buying a nigerian used car. should I request for the original papers of purchase? Should I demand for the custom papers? Etc. Pls advice.

Hello

1. custom documents fully stamped and check whether all things correspond like name and model of car, VIN and all payments were made. Mostly like 6 or more papers could be photocopy if multiple cars were cleared by one dealer but make sure it is a clear crisp document not faded crap and don't take the nobody will ask you for customer paper crap, it could spell doom or stolen vehicle.

2. CMR (computerized motor registration) original copy

3. Current insurance (original copy)

4. Vehicle licence (original copy)

5. Road worthiness certificate (original copy)

6. Plate number allocation (original copy)

7. Original proof of ownership fully stamped

8. You will collect two printed and signed documents
a. Change of ownership document
b. Receipt of purchase from previous owner

There are some other documents you may need like
1. Tinted permit doc
2. police report/doc of change of ownership/plate number/engine number (which we call vin)

make sure you see the change of ownership letter given to the buyer duly signed when he first bought it as Nigerian used except the car was bought as tokunbo then you may not need this.

Once the car doesn't have custom doc except it's a beetle and the documents have expired years ago, I suggest you stay away from such ride.

Nurey thank u very much for this master piece of advice.

Yes you do, but since it was bought brand new in Nigeria, you won't get a custom document, you did rather get a certificate from the dealer it was bought from (elizade, lanre shittu motors etc)

Good day. How do I know the VIN of a tokunbo car? Is it possible to get a free VIR online? Or can you help me out with VIN report?

VIN is vehicle identification number, it is also known as chasis number on documents. for cars, it is imprinted at the right hand side below the windscreen check pix for location

i am guessing you mean vin report, cause nobody sells/gets/find/buy/provide VIN, only the manufacturer. there are threads here that provide free vin report or paid for quick report

Hu I go ask
