Problem
Nigeria's used car market is fragmented across Jiji, Cars45, Autochek, Facebook Marketplace, and WhatsApp groups, with no unified low-friction discovery layer and built-in trust signals.
Solution
Swipe-based discovery combining existing platforms with direct seller uploads, dual Purchase/Rent modes, a VIN checker, and in-app chat with WhatsApp fallback.
Market
Primary users are Nigerian car buyers who want fast, low-effort discovery. Individual sellers are the secondary group, with dealers and fleet operators deferred to Phase 2.
