So 350k to clear 2016 avalon?
It's cotonou duty not Nigerian duty.
In cotonou all cars have a flat rate of duty which is about 270k Naira.
All cars including rolls royce , bugatti, or a Nissan sunny have the same duty of 270k .


Not like Nigeria where people pay millions for duty.

Whew.

I've been very busy I totally forgot I had a thread here.

Car arrived in cotonou about mid January.
The guy who was supposed to clear gave me issues. I had to pay extra 50k to the 300k I gave him earlier. Note this is cotonou duty, Not Nigeria duty

The car was towed to a park where accident cars are always repaired.
I gave a strict instruction about not tampering it or cranking. Until I get there.
I went to see my beauty along with my favorite mechanic from lagos.
He checked some fuses and some areas of the car to see if car has serious water damage.
Enine oil and transmission oil looked clean.

We got a battery to crank.
Dash lights came on. If you push the start button the lights go off but won't crank.
After much diagnosis Starter motor was the culprit.
Starter motor was replaced the second day.
Car cranked and poured to life.

But the car was rough idling.

There are some issues.

The airbag light is permanently on. (Maybe the srs module got wet.)

Check engine light and one other yellow light is on.

The car stereo is not coming on.

But everyother thing works perfectly.

At this point I'm quite relaxed. And the known issues are very minor.

Car will be flown to lagos next week.
All in all.
I'm thankful.
No pictures for now for private reasons.

Lucky you.
A comprehensive scan using an high end scanner should reveal problems.

I don't know why there is so much hate on this forum. That's why i didn't post exterior pictures before one evil person decides to be stupid.

Note: I'm not forcing anyone or encouraging anyone to buy a flooded car, I did so at my own convenience and risk, If you buy one and it's a complete garbage that's your problem.

Neither am i telling anyone to bring their car through Cotonou, If it gets impounded by the customs on it's way to you that's your problem.
Everyone will cry their cry.

Car has been registered and it's being driven everyday. Most of this speeches have made me realize there are so many people who have little knowledge about somethings here. There's so little i can say on a public forum.
