Carlots.ng, a leading automotive technology platform in Nigeria, today announced the launch of its new Car Swap & Trade-In Portal (https://carlots.ng/car-swap/). This innovative digital tool is designed to solve the biggest pain point for Nigerian car owners: the complex, time-consuming process of selling an old vehicle before affording a new one.
In a market dominated by offline negotiations and fragmented sales channels, the new Carlots.ng Swap feature offers a streamlined, digital-first alternative. Users can now receive an instant preliminary assessment of their current vehicle—whether Nigerian Used or Tokunbo—and seamlessly select an upgrade from a verified inventory of Toyota, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, and Honda vehicles.
"The traditional process of upgrading a car in Nigeria is broken. You usually have to sell your current car first, wait for a buyer, face potential fraud, and be without a vehicle for weeks," said the Head of Operations at Carlots.ng. "With our new Car Swap page, we are bridging that gap. We allow customers to leverage the value of their current asset to step into their dream car instantly, paying only the difference."
Key Features of the Carlots.ng Swap Portal:
Instant "Swap-To" Matching: unlike generic valuation tools, the new system allows users to specifically select the car they want to upgrade to (e.g., swapping a 2010 Toyota Corolla for a 2018 Lexus RX350), providing a clear path to ownership.
Market-Driven Valuation: The tool utilises real-time data from the Nigerian automotive market to estimate fair trade-in values, reducing the friction of haggling.
Comprehensive Brand Support: The platform supports trade-ins for all major brands popular in Nigeria, including Toyota, Honda, Ford, Hyundai, and Kia.
Safety & Transparency: By digitising the initial qualification process, Carlots.ng minimises physical contact until necessary, offering a safer alternative to roadside car lots.
How It Works:
Visit the Portal: Users navigate to carlots.ng/car-swap/.
Submit Details: Users input their current vehicle’s brand, model, year, and condition.
Choose Upgrade: Users select their desired "Swap-to" vehicle from the digital inventory.
Get Qualified: The system processes the request, and the Carlots.ng team schedules a physical inspection to finalise the exchange within 24-48 hours.
This launch reinforces Carlots.ng’s mission to bring trust, transparency, and technology to the Nigerian automotive sector.
