Hello Auto Expert,

Which do you think is better to approach when buying a used car.

The former owner
Especially when you've seen the way they use the car and they're selling either because they need a new car or money not because the car wants to send them to the village

The first website is full of cars owner couldn't sell at inflated prices, a lot of times too cars posted there aren't available because you come they inspect and you drive off but they post it up.

Second site you'd end up meeting the agent of the agent to the owner (if you notice most cars there are listed more than once).

Don't believe all a seller tells you. Go with a mechanic and do your due diligence.

I like jiji cos most times, you deal with the owners and you can ask them questions about the ride.

I prefer jiji ,no long chain ..u schedule inspection with the seller u checked everything with your due diligence ..if you are satisfied den u take d item..

I have bought so many things on jiji with no prob.

Car45 sells their own car (or make the process look like one) while
Jiji connects sellers to potential buyers, you then meet, establish min. trust, inspect and possibly pay

I prefer Jiji

Jiji if you get the patience and skill to critically look.

I have bought Honda Civic on jiji without a single problem for more than a year driving the car!

Take your time, go through this thread, do not buy a car on Jiji until you have read this post like 3 more times. Credit to Gazzuz.

Good advise! Avoid Cars45 like a plague. My experience with them was very disappointing too.
