ABOUT US
Trusted Guide for Buying Tokunbo Vehicles in Nigeria; so you always know the right price.
Tokunbo.io is a data-driven platform designed to bring clarity and transparency to Nigeria’s used-vehicle market. We equip buyers and sellers with accurate pricing insights based on real-time market data. So every transaction you make is informed, fair, and efficient.
Whether you’re buying locally or from a U.S. auction, Tokunbo.io helps you make informed, fair, and confident decisions.
"Tokunbo" is a common Nigerian term for foreign-used cars. We embrace the name because our mission covers the full market, both foreign-used and local-used, across every region.
What We Do
- Price Ranges by Model & Condition: Get fair value estimates for cars based on make, year, trim, mileage, and whether it’s locally used or Tokunbo.
- Market Coverage Across Nigeria: See how prices differ across major cities, like Lagos, Port Harcourt, or Abuja, including typical price highs, lows, and averages.
- Trends & Timing: Track how prices change over time, and identify seasonal buying opportunities.
- VIN Reports: Access vehicle history and auction records, with AI-powered summaries that highlight risks clearly.
- Car Imports: Estimate landed costs, browse vetted auction cars, and import safely with transparent pricing.
- AI Vehicle Inspector (Add-on): For auction cars, order an AI inspection that scans images for hidden damage and provides repair cost guidance.

Our Story
We started Tokunbo.io when we saw how often Nigerians asked, "How much a used car really cost"
The used-car market is dynamic but opaque. Prices swing wildly depending on location, condition, and season. Imports can be risky, with hidden accident histories and costly repairs.
We recognized the solution lay in data that’s collected, cleaned, modelled, and explained simply. Today, Tokunbo.io serves as the Kelley Blue Book equivalent for Nigeria. We also offer VIN checks, AI vehicle inspections, and safe import tools. This to help you make car ownership more transparent and trustworthy.
