[size=14pt]Vehicles from unauthorised dealers won't be registered - Lagos[/size]

Sesan Olufowobi


The Lagos State Government on Thursday said that vehicles brought into the state through illegal routes and those bought from individuals would henceforth not be registered in the state.

The government said that a tripartite arrangement in the state only allowed individuals to sell their vehicles to members of the public through registered motor vehicle dealers.

It added that any vehicle sold outside this arrangement would not be issued the change of ownership title at the Motor Licensing Offices.

The Permanent Secretary of Motor Vehicle Administration Agency Mr. Akin Hanson, who made the government position known to journalists, said only vehicles bought from registered auto dealers would henceforth be attended to.

"Unregistered individuals willing to sell either registered or fairly used imported vehicle to go through registered dealers as direct sales transaction is unlawful in the state," he said.

Hanson also expressed dismay over what he called 'indiscriminate' display of vehicles for sale in the state, adding that the agency would soon begin a crackdown on defaulters.

The Permanent Secretary said that the way individuals and auto dealers displayed vehicles for sale at unregistered premises was becoming worrisome.

He observed that the act negated the law regulating the activities of motor vehicle and spare parts dealers in the state.

Hanson pointed accusing fingers at fuel stations and eateries, which he accused of allowing such display in their premises, describing them as chief culprits.

He said, "There are some individual who used roadsides and kerbs to display vehicles illegally. This attitude constitutes a nuisance to the environment, impedes the movement of pedestrians and free flow of the traffic.

"Before we act, we will embark on a campaign to enlighten the dealers on the law regulating sales of motor vehicle and spare parts in the state, which we have been discussing at our regular stakeholders' meetings. It would be a sheer pretence for any auto or spare part dealer to feign ignorance of the law regulating the business."

The Permanent Secretary warned the auto dealers not to take the 'humane' approach of the government in enforcing the law regulating auto business for granted and warned that the government had the capacity to enforce the law to the letter.

He said that the agency would soon publish names of defaulting dealers in the national dailies and then go ahead to prosecute them.

Also selling to your brother or friend is unlawful - i highlighted some parts of the perm sec speech to buttress this. In the UK do you obtain a license to sell your car to your neighbor? or must you give a registered dealer your ride to sell? alcohol and automobiles dont mix

[b][color=Black]i feel such a law is out of proportion why do i say this- most dealers that advertise by the road side within lagos environs paid some kind of "dues" to the local govt in those areas.  also given that there is no disparity on importation duties paid by an individual vs a registered dealer why would an individual take his vehicle to an authorized dealer to help him sell.  Now i want o sell my "registered" car giving it to a 'registered dealer' makes the cost go up cause the dealer is looking for a profit cut and also takes another fee from me as 'security charges' - who is been ripped off? if this law comes into effect it would then imply that the housing laws will b rectified as not to allow 'unauthorized' agents sell or lease buildings within Lagos.

One part of the law which i see is good is not registering cars gotten via illegal routes, but most times you find out that the guys @ the licensing offices aid dealers to register such vehicles. so we are still stuck in the middle.[/color][/b]

One thing of note is this - not all pre-orders will save you a lump sum of money (as most people think) and sumtimes "buy in nigeria" cn spot you a gr8 deal(even if na salvaged or clean title-most pple even knw they r buyin salvaged these days).

Pre-order indices sumtimes don't end up been favourable to both parties - cus whereby prices of cars r dropping in nigeria the case may not b so in the US. Nigeria purchase power is control mostly by demand n supply, people likes n tastes. So even in recession cars prices may not drop on "buy in nigeria" but in the US u may notice a significant drop in prices (sumtimes its never the other way round-smiles-car prices no too dey drop for 9ja-smiles). I remember enquiring about a ride frm bizbooks n he gave me same cost wit wat the car is sold for in nigeria n advised me to get d ride in nigeria as prices have gone up in d states but they weren't reflecting on d nigerian scene. So which ever way a client may tow let him/her b informed before a decision is made. This days I encourage my clients to surf the net and check out prices for themselves so they get an informed view of wat is obtainable between clean n salvaged titles or buy in 9ja or pre-order.
