I bought a car from a car dealer in Abuja earlier this year. He gave me the necessary documents of the original owner and a 'Vehicle sales agreement' as receipt for the purchase.
The car documents expired last year.
I did not do change of ownership because I did not have enough funds left (big mistake).
Now I want to sell the car and everyone is asking to know if the car is in my name.
So my question is, can I sell the car without doing change of ownership? (Since I do not have enough funds to process change of ownership at the moment).
If yes, what documents should I demand from the car dealer so that I can sell the car without issues.
Thanks for your contribution.

Funny this question would be answered on Nairaland.

If you know what I'm thinking

Buying a car and not having funds to make proper documentation has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.

But you've admitted you made a mistake, so I guess it's fine, eh?

Oga, you sure say na you get the car

Asking for everyone.

lol. How much is change of ownership? This your story is suspicious. You better say the truth now so that the criminals here can help you.

Not at all. I bought the car and my bank statement shows proof of payment. I think I'll do the change of ownership to make it easy.

Haha, yes it's mine.

Hey guys, how much is change of ownership.

It depends on the state, and if the car is an suv or a saloon, you would be given a new number plate in your own name. It could cost between 28 and 40k

You can sell a car or buy a car that is not in your name, it isn't a big deal. I have bought several cars that are not in seller/dealers names and I have sold a car that wasn't even in my name.

1. Every vehicle requires genuine documents to be on the road and registered with an individual, all you have to do is call the number on the original documents to confirm the sale authorization

look for the name online and contact the owner or

put the name, plate number and VIN online to retrieve any stolen information about the vehicle.

2. I drive cars that are not registered in my name and if police ask me I always tell them it's mine I just haven't changed the ownership details because of time. I have only had issues with this once when I was stopped at 4am wee time I bailed out with 200 naira

Yeah, just try and do it. Police issue is not something anyone would want right now, things are already stressful enough as it is.

Thank you so much for this. Now I can talk my way through the sales.

let the current name of the vehicle licence particulars match the name on the plate number.

You can carry the car documents plus the purchase agreement and go to the nearest licencing office in your locality, explain to them your intentions of wanting to do a change of ownership

Then they would tell you what is obtainable.

Note that if they aren't going to give you a new plate number, do not bother doing it there,

just send the particulars to me, and I would do the running around for you in benin but it would cost you, but you would get your car registered in your name with a new plate number to that effect
