Another 02 CRV in Ngeria through Seme border from Cotonou by Jelad ventures.

ISSUES WHICH MAY AFFECT YOU WHEN YOU BUY FROM COTONOU.

1.GREED- This comes into play when a customer wants a next to free car in a place where nothing comes for free,the I need a camry 2001 model for 650K types.

These are the people agents love luring into Cotonou so that they can they can be exploited.All they need to hear is that they can get a 2007 model for 300,000naira in cotonou and they rush into the market ony to discover they've been tricked into showing up.

Note the pix shown below,it shows a line in a park called FIFA,just a line out of 5-6 lines in this particular park filled with numerous car dealers in their little offices and we have almost 6-8 parks in cotonou,all you need to do is walk in and bargain also note the bikes,they're used as transport within the parks cos they're so large,if any agent tells you he knows a last price it's a lie cos how can someone know the mind of every car dealer in cotonou,all he can know fropm experience is the asking price and even if customer A buys for 800K,800K won't be applicable to Mr B cos bargaining power isn't the same.

2.RESEARCH- Like we've always stated always know what you want,how to get it and how much you can get it.

When you want to buy a car,make sure you make checks about the cars you need,Nairaland is a very good example of a site where you can get info on prices and car performances. We even have cases where customers pay transport fare for agents to check car prices for them in cotonou and even send money for deposits just because they know what they want,not the "I want to know the VIN history or low mileage types",we're talking about people who know what a good car is all about.
It's not always about bringing cash along on your first day,we even have cases where customers widow-shop for a day or two before buying a car in cotonou and pay for the services of their agent to check cars with them. You need to look beyond VIN reports and mileages,if the cars were so perfect,the previous owner who used them abroad will not sell them,that's why you're permitted to bring a mechanic and also test drive the cars. Make research on how to check used cars etc.

3. SINCERITY- This is when you as a potential customer lie to your agent that you can get a car for an amount you know you can't get it in Lagos,all your agent needs to do if he's the fraudulent type is also agree with you and start telling you stories you aso want to hear. He/She is confident that once you come and you become stuck,more cash will roll in. Always be sincere with your agent,if possible let him know your budget and listen to his advice cos he/she has experience. Although you need to be cautious but at least believe your agent to a certain level when he/she tells you what you can obtain in the market.

4. SMUGGLING- When you/agent decides to go into smuggling,it degrades your car's value.
Why pay money to someone who'll drive your car along bush parts when you can easily pay your custom duty and drive out of the border with ease even without your agent driving your car. Don't always believe any agent who tells you customers aren't permitted to drive from the border,as long as you have your papers with you,you as the customer can drive from the border,so if your agent suddenly tells you it's going to take weeks before he/she delivers your car,then you definitely know it's been smuggled. When you pay 100K to smuggle your car across the border when you can pay custom duty for the same car,a lot of questions ought to be asked.

The summary of all these is that the onus falls on you as the customer when you're planning to purchase a car from cotonou.

plz pix will also be appreciated. Thanx

At Jelad ventures,we don't give you last prices rather we give our customers the freedom to make choices and bargain for a vehicle that fits into their budget.

There is no way any agent will know the mind of every car dealer in Cotonou unless he/she is a wizard/witch and what is applicable to customer A isn't applicable to customer B.

For those who have been to Cotonou to purchase cars before,you may have noticed that all we give you are asking prices+expenses+custom duty.Many questions have been raised and we'll like to clarify them.

Let's use a benz 230(2000) as an example.

The asking price is 700K+220K(custom duty).

Now,everyone knows that in Cotonou,there are certain monies you've to pay to bring the car out from the park to the border and it's a standard charge of 165K irrespective of year.

Now,let's assume you pay 700K in cotonou,it's going to be 700-165K=535K(which is the actual purchase price).

Now let's assume you've a budget of 800K,all you need to do is so simple,deduct 220K(custom duty in Nigeria) from 800K,we have 580K left.

580K-165K=415K.

415K is your bargaining price when you come into Cotonou,this is what you offer the dealers.

If any agent tells you that you can get a car for 350K from Cotonou,it's practically a lie cos at least you'll spend 70K smuggling the car into Nigeria.

350K-70K=280K

Now according to our calculation,if we deduct 165K from 280K,we have 115K(345K CFA).Which good car can you purchase at that price.

All they do is trick you into Cotonou with your 350K cos they know greed is a factor which comes into play when it comes to some Nigerians,after you spend the 350K,your car is stuck in the parks because they'll keep demanding money for duty clearance and smuggling fee,before you know it,your car spends weeks in the bush before getting to your doorstep.

Please note that the 165K is a mandatory charge in cotonou but the beauty of it is that even when you fix it in your budget,if you're a good bargainer,you'll get quality cars.

Buying cars from Cotonou made easier.

At Jelad ventures,we aren't in the position to fix last prices on vehicles in Cotonou,all we do is give you a asking price plus freedom to bargain for one that'lll fit intop your budget.

Pleas note that we collect a service charge after purchase and custom duty payment and we reserve the right to decide the least amount you can pay for duty,so technically when you're asked to payu 250K as custom duty,it may still be dropped cos customs has given agents the leverage to cut some tariffs but care needs to be taken so it'll not fall into short-payment.

If you've gone to cotonou to purchase a vehicle and you want us to clear into Nigeria,you'll still pay half the service charge.

Also,pls note that we don't smuggle vehicles neither do we help smugglers.

For those who made inquiried about the range rover envogue we posted earlier,it's brand new with 0 mileage also it's around 11M(asking price+expenses),we are still waiting for NCS to reply our memo on duty payable but it's a good buy againstt the 15M pourchase price in Nigeria.

Also shown is the 2012/2013 porsche paranema and Peogout 8006 also available in cotonou.

Dear nairalanders,if at any point in time you've made inquiries and we've sent a response,please send replies so we can also learn from you.There are also cases where we feel we need to inspect the avalaibilty of cars before giving you the qoutes.

We'll like to suggest that those who need vehicles for transportation businesses are free to visit the parks to actually search for vehicles within their budget cos most of the qoutes we'll give you are for grade one cars most especially with ac etc.

For those seeking for low-end cars,kindly check the cars shown below.

Most times,the "I need a car with auto+ ac for 300K" may not fly,check earlier posts,most cars you'll even see for those prices will be old or manual transmission and you'll still need to pay custom duties cos even if it's bought for 50K,custom will impound it and we don't want to loose our license.

From the pictures we've been showing,you can see that the parks are large and there's no way you won't get a vehicle if you've enough money and with serious intentions to buy.

For those who need space buses,check the SIAT(golf engine)+ peogout 80f shown below,these are some brands you can shift to if you can't afford the common models.

Saintjoel, no luck with the BMW 3 Series? A friend would like to know how much it would cost to buy and clear a Mazda 323F Auto and Manual.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS-

Q: SINCE WE'VE BEEN TOLD TO BARGAIN WHENEVER WE NEED TO PURCHASE FROM COTONOU,HOW DO WE DISCUSS WITH THE FRENCH SPEAKING AUTO DEALERS SINCE THEY DONT UNDERSTAND ENGLISH AND ARE WE ALLOWED TO TEST DRIVE VEHICLES?

A: YES,you're allowed to test drive the vehicles before purchase and also check the engine components if you come along with a mechanic but it must be within the parks.

Also,many of the car dealers can converse in english and for those who can't,they employ Africans who can speak english but the negotiation must be done with CFA as the currency.You as the customer must make sure you knoW the current exchange rate before leaving the border cos it fluctuates but don't be scared even if it fluctuates,the balance you'll add to it is little change.

Shown below is another 2002 HONDA CRV cleared into Nigeria by Jelad ventures and other vehicles in our seme park awaiting custom clearance.
