The only reason why most people go for tokunbo is for pecuniary reasons, its a reflection of the state of the economy, 30 years ago, the trend was buying brand new, there was plenty money in the economy, the challenge was on how to spend it, but now country hard people buy used cars because they cant afford new ones.

If you can afford new cars go for it, but I must say that the tokunbos we buy are better than the foton, mahindras and innosons and other fake chikito cars that we have today.

Shame on you, you have definitely agreed to settle for less, instead of you to pray that no one should have any reason for buying a used car, u advice people to buy used cars, in the developed world they all go for a new car instead, pls change your mind set my guy

They don't all go for new cars in the developed world,if you have a taste for high end products and you cannot afford the bests of the new ones its wise for you to buy a neat and sound almost new of the older model than buy a new of lower quality.

YES YOU TALK BASED ON ECONOMIC SENSE BUT A NEW CAR IS BETTER COMPARED TO USED



HOW CAN YOU COMPARE USED PRODUCTS TO NEW


DO U WANT A VIRGING GIRL OR BABY MAMA WITH 2 KIDS

Come on OP, are you trying to tell me that if you could buy A second hand toyota Prado and a brand new one (same year, specs) you would go for the former. Men, you and I both know that's a lie, the only reason why people buy second is due to funds shortage..... I can buy the argument that one would rather get a second hand (first grade) toyota then a new Kia (fine) only because of the nature of our dilapidated road, however if you live in central area Abuja, where all the roads are tarred, you cannot agree with this b*ullsh***.

Different brands of tokunbo cars are dumped in Nigeria and other 3rd world countries simple because the standard of living is mega low and people cannot afford new cars..............
Re: 5 Reasons Why Buying A Used Car (tokunbo) Is Great by atine79(m): 2:37pm On Jun 12, 2015
I think it is more to it than those aforementioned. Buying a used car is better than a new one. Reason is that in cars there is what we call export edition and import edition. A car maybe produced in Japan for their own use is more loaded and stronger in terms of durability than the one meant for export. Remember there is a used car of 2015 and a brand new of 2015. Ceteris paribus the one of used one probably American spec is more loaded than the one of brand new ie export edition. My 2 cent

Why all the vituperation against the OP.

He simply listed the advantages of buying a used car.

He said reasons why buying a used car is GREAT not BETTER.

Used cars also have disadvantages.
