This customer is a small-to-medium contractor doing day-to-day hauling aroundLagos(mostlysand, gravel and lateritefor construction sites). When he first contacted us, he didn’t ask for fancy options. He was very direct:
“I don’t mind used. I just don’t want a truck that stays in the workshop.”
His biggest worry wasunexpected breakdownsand losing money every time the truck stopped working. So we kept the conversation simple and practical. Before talking about payment, he asked to see real proof of condition.
We sent him what he requested in one pack:
Cold start video(engine start + idle)
Smoke checkat idle and light throttle
Short road test video(moving, shifting, steering feel)
Dump lifting video(full lifting and returning)
Clear photos ofchassis, axles, springs, tires, cabin, plus theengine nameplate
After watching the videos, he replied with just one message:

“Looks OK. Give me CIF to Apapa.”
We confirmed the configuration (HOWO 6x4 dump,371HP, front lifting, 8mm floor / 6mm sidesdump body), shared the final photos again for confirmation, and arranged the export process. He wanted the transaction to be smooth and fast because his site work schedule was tight.

What he liked most
The truck lookedclean and strong underneath(no obvious chassis damage)
Stable lifting(no shaking, no slow return)
Easy communication: “send videos first, then we talk price”
Customer follow-up (after arrival)
A few weeks after the truck arrived in Lagos, he messaged us again:
“We started working already. The driver says shifting is good, and it is doing the job.”
