About Us

Nigeria's car market is broken.
We're fixing it.

AutoValue Nigeria exists because buying or selling a car in Nigeria has always been a gamble — on price, on mileage, on whether the money ever arrives safely. We decided that was a problem worth solving properly.

Why We Exist

Six things that were broken.
We're building the fix.

01

No one knew what anything was worth

Ask ten sellers the price of a 2018 Toyota Camry in Lagos — you'll get ten different answers. There was no reliable, public reference for what cars actually sell for in the Nigerian market. We built one.

02

Mileage fraud was table stakes

Clocking — rolling back odometers — is so common it's almost expected. We verify mileage with OCR on actual dashboard photos. If the number is real, it gets a Verified badge. If something's off, we flag it.

03

Cash deals were a safety hazard

Meeting a stranger with millions of naira in cash is genuinely dangerous for both parties. We're building an escrow layer where the money is held safely until the car is confirmed delivered. Coming soon.

04

Meetups were uncontrolled

"Meet me behind the market" is not a handover strategy. We're introducing verified safe-spot meetups — bank forecourts, mall car parks, fuel stations — with check-in and check-out logging. Coming soon.

05

Existing platforms served dealers, not people

Cars45 and Jiji were built around dealers and volume listers. Private sellers — the majority of the market — got unverified listing boards with no pricing help, no safety net, and no support.

06

When things went wrong, there was no recourse

Bought a car with a hidden engine fault? Paid and never saw the car? Tough luck. No dispute process, no evidence trail, no one to call. We're building the infrastructure that makes "I have proof" actually mean something.

Who It's For

Three people who deserve better.

Price Guide

The Diaspora

You moved abroad but your mum still needs a car in Lagos. You search for "Toyota Camry price Nigeria" and get forum posts from 2019. AutoValue gives you a real, current price you can actually trust before you wire money home.

Valuation + Listing

The Private Seller

You know your car is worth something, you just don't know what. You don't want to lowball yourself and you don't want to sit with an overpriced listing for six months. We give you an accurate range, write your ad, and get your car in front of real buyers.

Marketplace + Escrow

The Buyer

You want a reliable used car without wondering if the mileage is fake, if the engine has issues the seller's not telling you, or if the cash in your pocket is going to make it home safely. That's the platform we're building.
