I have bought cars at olx before and car stand around 7up in lagos state.

Its not where to buy cars but actually steps to buy a car

1. inspection
2. test drive to see if you like
3. known proper documents needed and investigation (vin check for tokunbo) and custom paper confirmation.
4. have it at the back of your mind that a used car whether naija or tokunbo would need a few fixes to ur taste could be as little as battery to new tyres.
5. vehicle registration/re-registration

Nurey you are great sir.

1. Is custom papers important for a Nigerian Used Vehicle?.
2. Can you highlight the proper documents to look forward to seeing at your spare time?
3. Must one re-register the vehicle immediately?

1. yes if it was bought brandnew it would be certificate.

2. https://www.nairaland.com/2646449/documents-needed-when-buying-used

3. not immediately but necessary on the long run

Knowing the history of a used car before you decide to buy one can save you a lot of money down the road. By ordering a vehicle history report (VHR), you can remove most of the guesswork to determine if a used car has been involved in accidents or had major repairs
Computerglobal provides comprehensive vehicle history report for any used and tokunbo vehicles

I can buy a Nigerian used car even if it has 1 million miles as long as the price is right even if the engine is bad and can be easily found not all these brilliance and geely nonsense.

I can't buy a used car with 200 miles on odometer that needs body work, rusting or corroded, flooded with plethora of electrical misalignment.

most important is I can't buy a car without OBD port or not functioning.

Alright. I'm at a Crossroad now between the Rio & the C-class.

This is no crossroad at all. Buy the C240. Not a 4Matic, though.

You really can't compare the C240 to a Rio at all, lol.

the c240 of that year does not give much power and 4matics can put a whole in one's pocket if not managed properly.
My advice?go for a 2006 c230 or 2005 c230k and be rest assured of luxury and economy,that is if it is properly handled.
N.b;never service the car with anything apart from mobil1,mercedes Benz transmission fluid and mb steering oil as well.
Never drive this car in flooded areas,highly allergic to flood and never allow it to overheat!
Good buy it is

the C350 and c300 are same just the C350 is faster than the c300.

comparing the C350 to ZDX both are in different category the C63s 2011 isn't as luxurious as the ZDX, I am sure the C350 won't do any better.

the C63s and zdx tie at handling but the C63s is faster, has more hp and a sporty feel to it.

pick the zdx to stand out and reliability.

maintenance, cost, fuel economy are extremely close between the C350 and ZDX.

C63? AMG? In what world is it in the same performance bracket as the ZDX?

The C240 is underpowered, yes, but the engine is a lot more durable than the M272 on the 2006+ models. In any case, it'll still drive much better than a Kia Rio.
