Sell your car, the safe way
List free on Nigeria's trusted car marketplace. Reach verified buyers, offer payment plans, and sell with confidence.
How to sell your car, fast
Take great photos
Clear, well-lit photos from every angle build trust and sell faster — and prevent disputes after the sale.
Be honest
Describe the real condition and mention any faults. Honest listings get serious buyers and fewer time-wasters.
Price it right
Check what similar cars sell for. A fair price gets more enquiries than an inflated one that sits unsold.
Get verified
Verify your identity (NIN) to earn buyer trust. Verified sellers and dealers stand out and sell quicker.
How it works on MotoTrader
List your car — free
Add photos, specs, and your price. Listing costs nothing. For a tokunbo (foreign-used) car, have your valid customs papers ready. Dealers can bulk-upload a whole inventory.
Get verified (NIN)
Confirm your identity to earn the verified badge — verified sellers and dealers build trust and rank higher in search.
Respond to buyers
Enquiries appear on your dashboard. Reply quickly — faster responses lead to faster sales.
Get paid
Outright sale: agree the method (bank transfer is safest) and only hand over the car once funds have actually landed in your account — never trust an SMS alert or screenshot. Payment plan: let buyers pay a deposit + monthly instalments (see the Payment Plan Agreement).
Receive payouts
Add your bank details once. Payment-plan deposits and instalments settle to that account, and we notify you each time a payment comes in.
Sell safely — avoid scams
Most car fraud in Nigeria targets the moment money changes hands. Protect yourself:
Confirm the money landed
Beware fake transfer alerts and forged receipts. Only hand over the car once funds are actually in your account— not because you saw an "alert".
Never share OTPs or bank codes
No genuine buyer needs your OTP, PIN, or BVN. Anyone asking is trying to defraud you.
Meet in safe, public places
Meet during the day in a busy location. Bring someone with you for viewings and handover.
Use verified buyers & payment plans
Prefer NIN-verified buyers. For instalment sales, use MotoTrader payment plans so deposits and monthly payments are tracked and settled to you.
