Buying a nigerian used car is like walking into a death trap.

A friend of mine who recently acquired a Nigerian used toyota camry is now regreting ever going near that car.

When they tell you it is one month used please run.

why would an individual buy a car, use it for one month and then set it up for disposal?

the answer is clear, there is an undelying problem.

@OP: You are neglecting the fact that there are Nigerians who actually take very good maintenance care of their cars. And when they put up such cars for sale, DEALERS fall over themselves to snatch 'em up very quickly, so they could "touch them up" and resell them to you as TOKUNBO.

Yes, in case you didn't know, not all "tokunbo" are actually foreign used. Ever wondered why dealers don't like buying cars that have been "etched" with their registration numbers into their windows and mirrors and door handles and front grilles and headlamps?

It's bad for their resale effort!

Also, if you want to slightly reduce the likelihood of your car getting stolen, simply etch or engrave your registration number into your windows and headlights.

Car thieves would be discouraged from "moving" your car, because its resale value would be much less than otherwise. They prefer stealing "clean" or unmarked cars.

Edit: do you know how many car dealers have contacts staging round-the-clock "surveillance" on VGC, Lekki Phase I etc? They are standing-by to snatch up any car that is put up for sale by residents of such areas, because they believe that the well-to-do owners must have taken excellent care of such vehicles.

So, tell me, are such cars not also "Nigerian used"? You need to source your cars from the right places.

I know someone in Ikoyi whose uncle is about to sell a 2013 Range Rover Sport. It's "Nigerian used", but even your N10 million won't get you near his door. Car was serviced and maintained by the company from day of purchase till date. Warranty still very much active and valid.
