Questions about buying

Do I need to be in Uyo to bid?

No. Most of our bidders are elsewhere in Akwa Ibom, Rivers and Cross River, and some in Lagos and Abuja.

Can I pay in cash?

No. We take bank transfer only, so every payment has a record. POS is available for fees at the yard.

What if the car is not as described?

Tell us within 48 hours of collection. If something material was missed in the report, we put it right or refund you.

Can a friend collect for me?

Yes, with a signed letter from you, a copy of your ID and their own ID.
