Welcome to the Buy and Ship Cars from USA Knowledge Base. Here you will find clear answers to the most frequently asked questions about buying clean title and used cars from the USA and Canada, shipping them to Nigeria, port clearing, repairs, and doorstep delivery. If your question is not answered here, feel free to contact us directly.
1. What does “Buy Clean Cars from USA” mean? “Buy clean cars from USA” refers to purchasing high-quality used vehicles with clean title (no salvage or branded history) from American and Canadian auctions. These cars are generally in better condition, have lower mileage, and offer better value compared to many local options in Nigeria. We specialize in sourcing, bidding, shipping, clearing, repairing, and delivering these vehicles straight to your doorstep.
2. Do I need a dealer license to buy cars from USA auctions? No. You do not need a personal dealer license. Our expert bidding team in the USA and Canada has access to major auction platforms (such as Copart and IAAI). We bid on your behalf after you review photos, details, and estimated prices.
3. What is the 10% refundable deposit for? The 10% deposit (based on the estimated car value) is required before we start bidding. It proves seriousness and protects us from penalties if a client wins a car but refuses to pay. The deposit is fully refundable or deducted from the final payment if you proceed with the purchase.
4. How does the full process work?
- You tell us your preferred make, model, year, or budget.
- We search auctions and send you high-quality pictures, bidding dates, and price estimates.
- You approve → We bid and win the car.
- We send you the official invoice for payment.
- We handle trucking, documentation, and ocean shipping with tracking.
- The car arrives at Tin Can Island or Grimaldi Port, Lagos.
- We clear it at the port.
- We take it to trusted mechanics for full servicing and any necessary repairs using original parts from Ladipo Market.
- We deliver the fully roadworthy car to your doorstep anywhere in Nigeria.
5. What is your service fee? We charge a transparent one-time service fee:
- $1,200 for vehicles with bid value below $10,000
- $1,500 for vehicles with bid value of $10,000 and above
This fee covers bidding access, coordination, taxes at auction, supervision of trucking/shipping/clearing, mechanic services, and final delivery to any location in Nigeria.
6. Are there any hidden fees? No hidden fees. You only pay:
- Actual auction winning bid price
- Trucking + ocean shipping (quoted based on location)
- Port clearing and customs duties
- Mechanic repairs and original parts
- Our service fee
We provide a clear breakdown at every stage.
7. How long does the entire process take?
From winning the bid to doorstep delivery, the process usually takes 6 to 10 weeks, depending on shipping schedule, port clearing time, and repair needs. We provide real-time tracking once the car is shipped.
8. What documents will I receive?
You will receive:
- Auction invoice and winning bid details
- Bill of Lading
- Shipping tracking information
- Port clearing documents
- Detailed mechanic repair report and parts list
- Final delivery confirmation
9. Can you repair accident-damaged cars?
Yes. Even if the vehicle had minor accident damage, our experienced mechanics will inspect it thoroughly, replace damaged parts with original ones sourced mainly from Ladipo Auto Spare Parts Market (Lagos), change oil, fit new tyres if needed, and make the car fully roadworthy at a sharp rate.
10. What vehicle age is allowed in Nigeria?
Nigeria enforces strict age limits on imported used vehicles (currently around 12 years from year of manufacture — always confirm the latest rule with Nigeria Customs Service). We only bid on vehicles that meet current import regulations to avoid problems at the port.
11. Which ports do you use in Lagos?
We ship to Tin Can Island Port and Grimaldi Port in Lagos. Our office is located very close to the port area (Apapa), which helps speed up coordination and clearing.
12. Do you deliver anywhere in Nigeria?
Yes. After repairs and quality checks, we deliver the fully serviced car to your home or business anywhere in Nigeria (Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, Kano, etc.) at no extra delivery charge beyond our service fee.
13. Why should I choose Buy and Ship Cars from USA instead of doing it myself?
We eliminate stress, delays, and costly mistakes. You get expert bidding at better prices, professional shipping & clearing, reliable mechanics with original Ladipo parts, full transparency, and doorstep delivery — all for one simple service fee.
