How To Buy Any Car In Nigeria During This Pandemic by Carmartng: 1:46pm On Apr 19, 2020
A pandemic is the worldwide spread of a new disease. An influenza pandemic occurs when a new influenza virus emerges and spreads around the world, and most people do not have immunity. Viruses that have caused past pandemics typically originated from animal influenza viruses.

Buying cars online has been around for years now car buyers don’t need to bother going into showrooms, basically, every car-maker now have that same offline showrooms online where you can equally make the cars, compare colors, add or remove some features, Hyundai got the best ever testimony after they launch its own platform “Click to Buy” in 2017, John Freel the first customer to use the platform said “I can’t be bothered going into showrooms and I don’t like being pressurised,” he says. “I did it at work when things were quieter and then thought: ‘Fine, I’m just going to go for it and click.’”

Buying Online right for me?
You may be surprised to learn that you have more rights buying online than when buying face to face in a dealership. They’re contained in the Consumer Contract Regulations (2013).

In addition to requiring the seller to give a detailed description of the car and a breakdown of charges and other costs, the regulations provide a cancellation period beginning the moment you place your order and ending 14 days after you receive the vehicle. During this time, you can return the car (or, more likely, have it collected), although the regulations say you have a further 14 days in which this can be done.

Refund
Only if you satisfy the seller’s fair-use restrictions. You see, the 14-day period from delivery to cancellation isn’t a license to treat the vehicle as a free hire car since there will be limitations in terms of how many miles you can test drive any car (anything from 10 to 100 miles). Anything beyond these limits and the seller can refuse to take back the car.

If it’s a new car, the seller may be able to claim the car’s lost significant value and seek to claw some of it back from you. If you damage it, you’ll have to pay costs. If you’re returning it because it’s defective, there’s unlikely to be a collection charge, but if it’s because you simply don’t like it, they’re probably will be.

Buying from car dealer
Car dealers have their faults, but buying your next car from a good one is a chance to build relationships that can stand you in good stead for the future. Perhaps you’ll need a last-minute loan car, someone to fight your corner in a warranty claim or a mates’-rates deal next time around, they may be able to help.

To buy online or buy offline
That is indeed the question, but as the competition among online sellers hots up, so their standards are improving. Buying online currently looks like the safest way to acquire your next new or used car but, even when we’re out of this tight spot, it still looks appealing – at least for the time-poor and the shy and retiring.

What TO Do When Buying Cars Online
-Compare sellers’ prices, charges, guarantees, and warranties
-Favour a seller who is clear and upfront at every stage of the buying process
-Describe your part-exchange accurately
-Never make any payment until you test drive the car
-Confirm the full papers of the car, Check the accidental history
-Check the duties paid or not

What Not To Do When Buying Cars Online
-Lower your guard just because buying online is convenient
-Fit the process around other tasks but give it your full attention
-Forget to check who your contract is with

Finally, make sure you establish who your sales contract is with. Some online sellers are little more than an introducer who directs you to a supplying dealer to conclude the deal. This doesn’t necessarily affect your rights but could matter if there are disputes.
