Buy a car from our showrooms, bid at the Monday Auctions, pre-order one from abroad, or sell yours. Here is each one, step by step, with every fee explained.
Every car on our inventory shows its photos, condition and full price before you commit.
Browse the inventory and filter by make, body type, budget or showroom. A car sourced abroad is bought by pre-ordering it; a car in Nigeria can be viewed at our showroom.
Read the condition report and see the Checkout Breakdown: the price, the buyer's fee and VAT, so the total is clear. A Price Drop tag means the seller has recently lowered the price.
Enquire on WhatsApp or book a visit to our Abuja or Lagos showroom. When you're ready, we raise your invoice.
Pay the invoice by card, bank or transfer. You get a receipt, a Bill of Sale and a Vehicle Release by email. Bring the release and a photo ID to the showroom to drive away.
New lots go up every week. Bidding opens every Sunday at 4:00 PM and closes every Monday at 8:00 PM (Nigerian time).

Create an account, complete KYC, choose Basic or Premium, and fund the refundable ₦200,000 security deposit in your wallet.
Bid from the lot's page (each bid at least ₦100,000 above the current one). Some lots also have a Buy Now price or take offers in a set range.
If you win, your invoice is emailed straight away, with your deposit applied. Pay within 5 days; otherwise the ₦200,000 deposit is kept as a relisting fee and the lot goes back to auction.
Once paid, you get your Bill of Sale and Vehicle Release. Bring the release and a photo ID to the showroom, or send a driver with your written authority.

A Nigerian Used car is inspected by a Carmaxi mechanic in Lagos or Abuja (₦20,000), who files its Condition Report. A Brand New or Foreign Used car needs no inspection: our team reviews it.
We publish it, pass buyers' offers to you (your contact details are never shared), and handle payment and handover. You can lower your price any time from your dashboard.
