Simple. Safe. Nigerian.
How BuyCar Works
Buy a car safely without the usual stress. Sell your cars to serious buyers only.
Buying a Car
From browsing to keys in hand.
Browse verified listings
Search by make, model, price range, condition, or location. Every dealer is manually verified before their cars appear on BuyCar.
Click "I'm Interested"
Found the right car? Submit your interest. BuyCar acts as the intermediary — no cold calls to strangers, no sharing your number with everyone.
Pay ₦50,000 security deposit
Pay through our secure Paystack gateway. This is not a purchase — it's a security deposit that filters out time-wasters and protects both parties.
Get the dealer's direct contact
BuyCar verifies the car is still available, then sends you the dealer's direct phone number and showroom location by email.
Inspect, negotiate, buy
Visit the dealer, inspect the car (we recommend a pre-purchase mechanic inspection), negotiate your price, and close the deal.
Your Protection, Built In
Verified dealers only
Every dealer is reviewed and approved by our team before listing any car.
Secure payments
All payments go through Paystack — PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant. We never store card details.
Full refund if unavailable
If the car isn't available or doesn't match the listing, you get a 100% refund of your deposit.
No direct contact until confirmed
Your phone number is never shared with dealers. BuyCar mediates until you've paid and confirmed.
Selling as a Dealer
List your inventory. Receive serious buyers only.
Register as a dealer
Sign up with your business name, phone number, and government-issued ID. Our team reviews and verifies your profile, usually within 24 hours.
Choose your plan
Select Basic, Premium, or Elite based on how many cars you want to list. Higher tiers unlock longer listing durations and higher placement.
Post your listings
Upload photos, fill in the car details, and set your price. Listings go live immediately after posting.
Receive buyer interest notifications
When a serious buyer pays the security deposit for one of your cars, you'll receive an SMS and email notification immediately.
Close the deal
BuyCar releases your contact details to the buyer. They come to inspect the car, negotiate, and you close the sale directly.
