Need Advice On My First Car Purchase by needadvice1: 8:53am On Oct 30, 2020
Hello gurus,

I intend buying my first car soon, a corolla model, Nigerian used. However, I'm not very confident about car purchase procedures. I am soliciting advice in this regards.

1. What should I know about Documents checks, do they need a name change?

2. What are the documents I should request from seller?

3. How should I go about inspection so as not to enter on chance.

4. What and what do I need to do after purchasing the car?

Please help a brother. Thanks for your inputs.

1. Because u are buying a used car, go with ur trusted machanic that have scanner.(even if the mechanic lies, I believe scanner doesn't )
2. Ask for custom paper, road worthiness, and other necessary document and try to know the reason why the person is selling.
3. Ask questions.
4. U must av a driver lisence, prove of ownership.

Just some tips though this is not the full info. I belive other input will help

Lol take the car with the seller to Cars 45,

They check documentation, do a scan and thorough inspection and testdrive there,

You can ask the person inspecting if it's worth it.

Pay up before they list on auction else someone else might buy it �
