YOU KNOW AUCTION EXPORT ARE USUALLY SALVAGED CARS RIGHT

Oga if you have your money. Better buy your car in naija. If you intend to buy it in the US have some1 check on the car for you. These white guys are scammers. They are professionals compared to the blacks. I can tell you their tactics. They give you a good room for comfort making you feel all is alright. All you would hear is "calm down man every thing is fine". Dealt with a whole lot of them and i can tell you they are thieves. My advice is buy your car here in naija or have some1 inspect the car on your behalf and make the payment as well

I don't know how they do it, but I believe they have sinister motives. Their cars are never allowed to be used in US or Canada. Once u buy, it's straight to exit port. It's there in there FAQ. It's there in there terms and condition. Meaning these cars are not safe to be used there.

Hello Waley007,

Auction export is a reputable auction brokerage company based in Toronto, Canada. Please note that the vehicles on their website are not in their care but they assist to facilitate the bidding and purchase process from car auctions, car sales and government auction organizations across North America.

It is always better to buy your car in the USA and ship into Nigeria if you want to have confidence in what you are buying because most tokunbo cars that are sold in Nigeria are bought on these same auction sites especially “copart”. The major problem is some dealers do not consider the end user of the car when bidding. Therefore, they buy cars that are extremely compromised at give away prices. However, you can select a car with zero or minimal dent and bring it in yourself as we have always done (see autojoshng on facebook for pictures). You can contact us if you need further assistance.

Buying your car in the USA and shipping to Nigeria has its advantages and disadvantages:

Advantages:
1) It is cheaper.
2) There is availability of varieties to choose from.
3) It is more convenient as the entire purchase to delivery process can be completed from your home.
4) What you see online is what you get. The details of the cars are clearly stated unless you do not know how to interpret them.
5) It is easier to engage a professional vehicle inspector who will help you ascertain the status of the car before you buy it.


Disadvantages:
1) It takes average of 8 weeks for your car to get to Nigeria.
2) Transit risks, which include lost car key, lost document, delay due to poor weather, possible damage to the body of the car when containerized etc. However, these risks hardly occur.
3) You may not be able to inspect the car yourself.
4) Frustration may arise due to bureaucratic processes of foreign organizations and Nigeria Customs.

In conclusion, always endeavor to do a VIN check no matter the route you take. This could go a long way to save you a lot of money and time.

Hello Chukel,

Please note that auction export serves as an agent that helps you buy cars from different sellers and they are registered in the USA as an exporter. Therefore, the title document of the cars bought through them is always stamped for export only. The advantage for this export only is, you won't have to pay sales tax in USA as taxes are expected to be paid in the country of destination.

Salvaged cars can be repaired, duly registered and driven on American roads but you have to pay all applicable taxes. In fact, car dealers in USA also buy cars from these same auctions like copart and they repair the cars for onward sale to American drivers.

It is a tax issue an not a roadworthiness issue.

Was it not the same site a nairalander bought a car from sometime ago and was swindled of his money

Auction export is one of the most reliable sites buying and shipping cars from the US to Nigeria, with AUCTION EXPORT you can go to bed and wait for delivery of your car in Lagos 6-8wks after purchase. I would have said success on these deals hits 100% but nothing in real life is actually 100% correct. I started patronizing these people since 2014 and have always had exceptional deals with them. Its actually cheaper buying from there if you understand the minor technicalities
