Poor man's way of consolation. New car is the best always. Tokunbo is full of trouble, unless you want to be regular visitors to quark Nigeria mechanics. Ask federal, state and local government why they prefer brand new cars. Ask banks and other multinationals why they buy brand new cars. I don't and will never pray to be using Tokunbo for any reason.
well, when you start to run your bank then you can afford the scammy prices of new cars....but if you are spending your hard earned middle class money...you'll think twice before you buy a brand new BMW say X6, sure it might not make your heart skip a beat if its a kia picanto or ok Santa Fe, but you could still buy a 7 months used BMW X6 for a lot cheaper than a new one and still more or less small value.
However, economically, its not wise to spend too much on something that's just meant to get you from A to B, if you are on a budget like most people. There's always something you can do with your extra cash

dollarlander:





@Whizpeter, I equally felt same way. But the only reason I consider Tokunbo car is that, a brand new car and a Tokunbo car of the same model and same everything, will arrive at the same value after two years of use on Nigerian roads.

After two years, you will not be able to know this was new and that was tokunbo.

Also, if you buy a bran new car in Nigeria, there is likelyhood that, a Tokunbo car from USA, has better options than the Nigerian brand new car. Some brand new car in Nigeria are scale down options and can not compare to some Tokunbo car from USA.

Imagine oh
Me that loves mercedez how can u convince me to buy a brand new 2015 GL when the money with me can get a sound 2010 Gwagon with change?
Infact I will rather buy a 2008 GL and save myself the extra cost I would incure to buy the 2015
And if u think I will settle for a brand new KIA like a dressed monkey becos I want a brand new car,I would rather buy a used 2003 E Class if that's what I can get for the value I plan to incur on the Kia
I want to get the value for my money and not the value I want to incur on the car.
I won't talk about the quality of the Benz compared to others.KIa bawo
Make I go buy monkey ni? ko joor!

Re: 5 Reasons Why Buying A Used Car (tokunbo) Is Great by jaz(m): 10:44pm On Jun 11, 2015
have you handled a 2005 Toyota Avalon before, cost less than half the price of a brand new Rio and re-sells for almost the same value... its a machine made to last

Read this trash several times but didnt get the point...

If you've got the money to get a brand new vehicle, just go for it and dodge the wahala of tokunbo
