Auto Republic is committed to providing a transparent, trustworthy, and secure marketplace where buyers can discover vehicles offered by sellers across Nigeria.

Our goal is to make buying a vehicle safer by promoting transparency, encouraging due diligence, and helping buyers connect with genuine sellers.

While Auto Republic facilitates connections between buyers and sellers, the final inspection, negotiation, agreement, payment, and transfer of ownership remain the responsibility of the buyer and seller.

To improve trust on our marketplace, Auto Republic may verify sellers before or after they publish vehicle listings.

Verification may include:

• •Identity verification where applicable
• •Business registration verification for registered dealerships
• •Review of supporting documents
• •Monitoring seller activities for suspicious behaviour
• •Suspending or removing accounts that violate our marketplace policies

Auto Republic expects every seller to provide truthful and accurate information.

Sellers are required to:

• •Upload genuine photographs of the actual vehicle
• •Provide accurate vehicle specifications
• •State transparent pricing
• •Disclose known defects where applicable
• •Avoid misleading descriptions or false claims

Listings that violate our policies may be edited, suspended, or removed without notice.
