The automotive industry is one of the main drivers of any given nation’s economy. Countries that have good automotive industries are generally more prosperous than countries without these industries. Most developing nations rely on the exportation of primary products as a means of generating foreign exchange, which is very meager especially when compared to those generated by industrialized nations.

However, Africa has recognized the need to make the much needed transition from primary to secondary production because that’s where the real value creation occurs. Nigeria is at the fore front in Africa’s quest to industrialize and it’s taking rightful place in the committee of nations with vibrant automotive industries. The major global players in the automotive industry have taken keen interest in Nigeria’s rising profile as one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Nigeria has been largely buoyed by her huge population, which provides the ready market most multinationals crave.

Currently, Nigeria has an indigenous car manufacturing company, one of the few African countries to do so, and a few car assembly plants owned by the major car auto makers in the world. These multinational automakers have created lots of employment opportunities for Nigerians through the setting up of assembly plants within the country. Auto dealers have their own sales page and websites which they use to market and promote their products and services. Below are the top 5 car sales websites in Nigeria.
