Good morning guys,

I'm planning to buy my first car, I can drive but don't know what to look at for when buying a car with regards to the engine, gear problems and car registration. You know Tinubu govt spoiled alot of things so one have to cut his cloth according to the material available thus I am considering Honda cars cos they are relatively cheaper compared to Toyota.

If I am buying from someone not a dealer what documents do I need in terms of transferring ownership to me

Guys pls kindly guide

If your budget is 1.5 you’ll struggle to get even a naija used car, unless you wanna use your money to buy problems. My advice: save some more (way more) or better still, use your 1.5 to eat. Cars are expensive now.
