The Car Purchase Installment Agreement is essential for transactions where vehicles are sold with payment spread over time rather than paid in full at purchase. This document is commonly used in Nigeria by car dealerships, financial institutions, and private sellers to facilitate vehicle sales while protecting their interests until full payment is received. It must comply with Nigerian legislation including the Sale of Goods Act, Consumer Protection Council Act, and Central Bank of Nigeria regulations. The agreement typically includes detailed vehicle specifications, payment schedules, ownership transfer conditions, maintenance requirements, and default remedies. It's particularly important in the Nigerian market where vehicle financing is becoming increasingly common and regulatory compliance is strictly enforced.
