HOW TO IDENTIFY AND AVOID BUYING STOLEN TOKUNBO CARS IN NIGERIA
1. Request for original customs papers and simply Snap the papers and take them to the customs office closest to you and they will help you verify the document from their database.
2. Buy from registered car dealers only ( when you buy from a registered car dealer, his business name and address are traceable and you can lead the authorities straight back to him in the eventuality that the car sold to you is reported stolen.)
3. Inspect the car body for irregular re-painting ( One of the easiest places from which you can tell if a car has been repainted is the bonnet areas which often prove difficult to re-spray and always appear conspicuous when re-sprayed )
4. If it is a Nigerian Used Car, Request for original vehicle document
And verify them on the respective agents’ website
5. Confirm name on the car documents matches the name on the FRSC database
6. Check the glasses for any engraving (most car owners engraved their plate number on the glass)
7. Take a selfie with the car seller,
if they are not real, they won’t want their face out because it’s gonna be easy to paste their picture as WANTED….
