Saturday, January 19, 2019, will for a long time remain fresh in the minds of some residents of Lagos, who took part in the auctioning of some verified locally used cars.
The live auction called Carsbazr, is put together by one of the leading car sellers in the country, Cars45.
The event, which took place at the Daily Times Yard in Lagos, was all shades of fun, laughter and excitement as popular comedian and content creator, Emmanuel Edunjobi popularly known as EmmaOhMyGod thrilled the bidding audience with rib-cracking jokes.
It was gathered that over 20 cars were auctioned successfully at fantastic and unbelievable prices by the leading marketplace for the sale of verified locally used cars in Glendale.
Speaking at the event, Vice President, Trading, Cars45, Mohammed Iyamu, noted that Carsbazr live auctions have afforded Nigerians the opportunity to acquire cars at very affordable prices and along with a detailed inspection and background check.
According to him, “At Carsbazr, our commitment to providing best-in-class services in the marketplace for locally verified used cars remains constant. Our live auctions have connected people with their vehicles they can afford in a convivial and fun environment.”
Speaking after the event, some bid winners expressed their enthusiasm at being able to purchase vehicles at the best price anywhere in the country.
“I feel excited at being the first winner at the Carsbazr auctions for the year 2019. I had a lot on my mind leaving home this morning. I was afraid that on getting here, there might be a crowd of people and that I might also not be able to afford the cost of bidding and acquiring a car.
“I decided to attend without a car to my name and look at me, I am going back home as a proud car owner. The fact that you don’t need up to a million naira to buy a car at the Carsbazr auctions is the best thing that has ever happened”, Tolulope said.
Another beneficiary, Linda Ukaegbu noted that “although I have a car, I was looking for something else to use and give a driver for any of the taxi-hailing services. But now I have gotten a better car. I might have to switch and use the one I have just bought for myself. I am very happy and excited.
“While the bidding was going on, I told myself that I had to push more and outbid the competition to the end and I am happy about my success at the auction. I would like to say that this is the best place to buy locally used cars. They are extremely cheap. It’s unbelievable.”
Carsbazr live auctions are set to be held every Saturday at different locations across the country.
