I think the phrase "1st body" only applies to those very few cars bought brand new in Nigeria or those Tokunbo non accidented and scratch free ones brought into the country...


Most toks cars brought into the country are either accidented or have scratches gotten during haulage down here and even during clearing...So most of them are fixed and 'flashed' after clearing with the same or nearly the same paint code they left the factory with....

So i think it is quite erroneous to refer to any car as first body, even Toks ones, unless it can be proven that one drop of paint, potty or even primer has not been applied to it since it left the factory.....


So all of you looking for 1st body Nigerian used vehicles, You are all on a very loonnnnnngggg tin ....

As long as a vehicle still has structural integrity, with no loose, shrunken or sunken panels and the vehicle's body has very little or no potty,it still has a good body...

Your opinions are welcome

See the real answer is that most of these imported cars have been repainted severally abroad before import.

First body is very hard to find o it's like looking for a politician that is not corrupt in Nigeria

Toh....I know some cars are fixed abroad before import...

So if a car's body for whatever reason and at wherever has been painted, is that car still "first body" ?


For me, when I look at a car from the sides and all its panels align perfectly and there are no rough bumps on its body, the body is ok...Shikena....


First body is mostly a mirage unless you buy a brand new car...as in chacha tear leather

Those Politicians are a different breed....All of them are corrupt....some are just more corrupt than others


Anyway....Anybody who needs 1st Body vehicle is free to go to Coscharis, Elizade or Globe Motors..Dem plenty there


Cc Lalasticlala ...People need to know to stop seeking the almost impossible in Nigeria

If a car has been painted before, its not first body.

The best way to know if a car is a first body is tru the interiors. If the interiors are worn out, and the body is neat. It's not first body.

God bless u my bro for this statement. Any Toyota corolla 03-07 precisely came with factory mistake paint as a new car in USA, so after few months used as a new car, the paint peel off on top of d roof, trunk and even d hood/bonnet, that's d most affected area, Any clean corolla 03-07 u see in American have been painted over there and its not first body. I'm talking of all corolla in d range of 03-07. Thats just d facts. If u don't believe confirm from google or anybody u know in USA
