To those of you asking of first body this, first body that... Let me ask you a question. How many cars being imported into the country are still first body? Even some that claim the vehicle is containerized tend to bake the cars after claiming the car was scratched in the container and stuff...
Now you'll be asking for a registered vehicle and be specifying the car must be first body. If at all it should be first body,it should be a privilege not an entitlement...
Let's be guided please

Let me shock you with another KEY!

Cars are repainted in the US, and Europe before the owner even thinks of exporting it!

WiseBukoye:
Nigerians with unrealistic expectations. They offer prices far below the average market values and expect a 16-17 years used cars with less than 100k mileage, as if cars were bought to be stored in garages.

Is there anything wrong with a car still having it's factory fitted engine?
Buyer is merely asking for full disclosure.
Imagine a buyer's surprise when a policeman at ore points out to him that the engine number in his vehicle registration is different from the one in his engine bay. Ah.
I can totally understand if you say Nigerian used car buyers come with unrealistic bids but again they have their reasons.
Our maintenance culture is below par. So buyer is merely setting aside money for surprises which will surely come.

9icetoo:

First body often means the entire car has not been resprayed as a result of an accident or fender benders here on Nigerian soil.
Our paint quality or preparations for the paint job isn't up to scratch.
If I'm buying a Nigerian used car, I'd like to know if the paint has been redone by John under the mango tree.
Some Nigerian used cars still have their factory paint.
Again, people use filler to conceal rust and some serious dents with as much as 1 inch of filler!!!

You don't understand me chief...I'm not saying a car's engine can't be changed... What I'm trying to explain to you is that some prospective buyer will tell you and I quote... "If the car's engine has been changed,don't bother sending pictures because if the engine has been changed,it starts giving problems from there"

and in most cases this is true.. because OUR mechanic will not install everything back as it should.. work - work, cut & join, up & down ..
I will prefer to buy a car with a bad engine & replace the engine by my self than buy one which was changed by some kazeems
so if i tell you not to waste you data sending me pictures of car with a changed engine.. did i do wrong? is it not my money?


When we ask for first body, this is what we are trying to avoid..

I once asked a guy if he knows the age of the car he was pricing and if its possible for any human of that age not to have atleast a wound.
