Some Car Auction Terms You Should Take Note Of
Here are some basic terms you need to understand to be able to have it easy buying cars on any of the car auction sites.
Salvage Title: cars you find on auction sites with salvage titles are cars that are damaged due to accident. They may be minor or major, so you need to ascertain the level of damage beforehand. This enables you determine if it could be easy to fix in Nigeria.
Clean Title: Clean title cars are cars that are very OK. But the drawback of cars in this category is that they are a bit pricey than salvage title cars. Clean title cars may in some instances have minor dents or scratches on the body.
Enhanced Vehicle: These are cars that have been modified due to accident or have certain parts changed to perform below par or according to prior users taste and style.
Buy It Now: The price for the car you want to buy. The exact price you pay for the car. The price you pay for the car is fixed.
Bid: The price is not fixed as you are required to bid on the amount you want to buy the car. The highest bidder for such cars get the car.
Cars To Avoid When Buying Cars On Car Auction Sites
There are cars which you should avoid buying because the cost of fixing such cars in Nigeria would be very high. In some instances they cannot be fixed.
Avoid the following cars;
Flooded vehicles. They usually have high electrical faults and chances of fixing them are very low.
Accident vehicles with damaged front end which affects the engine bay.
Vehicles with bad and damaged frames.
Cars with bad or damaged airbags. Airbags must be intact.
Why Cars On These Auction Sites Are Cheap
Here is one of the secrets car dealers do not want you to know. Most of the cars imported into Nigeria are accident vehicles which could be easily fixed in Nigeria. They buy them at very dirt cheap prices, fix them in Nigeria and sell them at a very high prices.
80% of cars imported in Nigeria are salvaged vehicles. Custom duties on these salvaged vehicles are also very low. Not all vehicles are accident vehicles though. Some are cars with minor dents or scratches.
Besides, owners of these vehicles had them insured and when they have an accident will have the insurance company write the car off as Offroad. It means the car cannot be driven anywhere in the country where it had the accident except outside the country. The insurance company will then sell off the car to auction sites as off road vehicles. The fact that it has been tagged “off road” vehicle in the US or Canada does not mean it cannot be driven in Nigeria. After all, you do not dump your car in Nigeria just because it had accident, you try to fix it and bring it back to the road.
In some instances, owners of these vehicles are just car freaks that want a newer model and cannot afford to have both cars in their garage with the accompanying car charges. Imagine what happens when someone buys a new phone and sells off his old phone at a cheap price, or needs to sell off old phone to make up money for a new phone.
Those are some of the reasons why some cars come cheap on those car auction sites.
Here Are The Simple 5 Step by Step Process For Importing Tokunbo Cars From The Us And Canada To Nigeria.
STEP 1: Register On Any or All The Car Auction Sites.
Signup and complete the registration process on the car auction sites and provide the required documents as it increases your bidding eligibility.
STEP 2: Search and Select The Car You Want To Buy.
Search on any of the sites for the car you want to buy, both the type and model.
Check the title of the car (salvage, clean, enhanced, etc).
Also check for the vehicle history and VIN(vehicle Identification Number) as this reveals the true state of the vehicle,and other hidden information about the car which are not listed on the car auction site. You can do it yourself or use the service of independent inspectors that would do a very thorough car inspection.
STEP 3: BUYING AND PAYING FOR THE CAR
Having certified that the car meets the basic things you need, you can go ahead and pay for the car.
There are two pricing methods on car auction sites;
Outright Buy (Buy it now ): This option lets you buy the car at the fixed price displayed on the site.
Bidding Option: There is no fixed price here. There is a bidding process which the car has to go through where the highest bidder gets to buy the car. The bidding process could be on a predetermined date, you wait for the date and time and make sure you are online at the time to join the bid process. Winners of car bids are allowed 2-3 business days to pay. Failure to pay within the period attracts daily fine.
PAYING FOR THE CAR: There are two options through which you can pay for cars on the car auction sites. They are bank wire and debit card option.
You can use you regular ATM debit card but in some cases you will get declined or restricted transaction. The best you can do is get a dollar card through a domiciliary account.
Bank wire transfer is the next option.
Card payment is faster and cheaper.
STEP 4: SHIPPING THE CAR
Once bid is won and paid for, the car buyer is given 7 days to take the car off the auction yard.
The car is first taken to the nearest seaport from the auction yard from where it would be cleared through the U.S customs for export to Nigeria.
Some car auction websites provide you with shipping agents or suggest for you.
Shipping of cars to Nigeria could be either through Container or RORO Service (Roll On Roll Off).
RORO service is cheaper and faster.
A 40ft container can contain about 5 cars. If you are not buying up to 5 cars you need to wait till you get others to pair with which could lead to delay. Container is also expensive.
You may use the service of uship.com for shipping quotation.
Shipping of cars from U.S.A to Nigeria takes approximately 5-6 weeks to arrive the Tin-Can wharf, Lagos.
STEP 5: CLEARING THE CAR IN NIGERIA
Clearing cars in Nigeria through customs can be personally if you have the time and energy. Alternatively, get a reliable clearing agent to clear the car within 2-3 days.
To clear the car you need to pay for the following;
Surface Import Duty (35% of the estimated car value)
A surcharge, VAT (Value Added Tax), Shipping and Terminal charges and other Miscellaneous charges.
Having followed the step by step procedure above, you should have saved huge amount of money and taken delivery of your dream car from U.S.A and Canada to Nigeria, without leaving the comfort of your home stress-free.
Having taken delivery of your car, you can sell the car for a high profit margin, drive the car, gift the car or do just whatever you want with the car.
Information like this can sure get you started importing cars from U.S.A and Canada, but you need something more comprehensive that can make you become a PRO Car Importer and be better informed on more advanced tactics to further cut cost while importing your dream car from the U.S or Canada .
