Buying a used car in Nigeria can either save you money or cost you a fortune if you're not careful.
Before you pay for any vehicle, these are the 7 things I check:
1. Engine condition
2. Vehicle documents
3. Chassis/VIN number
4. Signs of accident repairs
5. Interior condition
6. Tyres and suspension
7. Test drive performance
Many buyers focus only on appearance and price, but a clean-looking car can still have serious hidden issues.
Personally, I believe checking the vehicle documents and chassis number is one of the most important steps because that's where many buyers get into trouble.
What other things do you think buyers should check before paying for a used car in Nigeria?
