1 million naira = 6,240 Dollars
1 million naira = 3,947 Pounds
1 million naira = 4742 Euros

Now take these respective amounts and go car hunting in these respective countries, continents which ever you like and see what you can buy.
Unfortunately in Nigeria you will hardly ever find a car that you like and that is in reasonable condition for under a million naira. So which leads me to my next question, why are Nigerian car dealers so quick to raise prices of vehicles that are for sale, and why are people silly enough to actually buy cars at extraordinary prices?

Ok you have a valid point on the cost of towing it to a port in the States & shipping but clearing, anyone who brings in cars from abroad would not pay 210K to clear it, more like 110K to clear it. I know people that clear cars for that price by the way! Secondly not all cars brought to Nigeria are from America, you have places like, France, Germany Belgium, Spain, Portugal & even the UK, yes the UK were cars are cheap to buy.  Thirdly the pin head named Nicols or whatever his or her name is should be more mature and act like an adult when involving themselves in an adult conversation and not say silly things like "childish", if you have not brought anything to the discussion. Not all cars for sale are bought from dealers abroad & are regularly bought from individuals residing in Nigeria, so what is with the heavy marking up in price?

You are really wrong on your assertion. Where did you get someone who clear cars for N110,000? How many times have you cleared a car from the port? I guess never or may be only in your dream. Fhemmy actually said it right. As a matter of fact, you will be lucky to get a 1999 Camry for $3000. The cost is between $3000 and $4000 depending on the model (XLE, LE, and CE, V6 or V4). It does not matter what country the car is coming from, you pay certain amount for certain cars before you get them cleared from the port, whether they come from France, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Austria or anywhere. Cost of clearing cars start from N190k to infinity. A friend of mine just cleared brand new BMW for 1.3 million naira.

Next time, you need to do your home work very well before you post jaggons on the internet. Or your best bet is to send your money abroad and buy the car by yourself. Anytime you find someone who needs a car, tell the person Nigerian car dealers are so greedy, take money from them, travel to Europe and get the person a cheap car.

No matter how much the cabal try to shut people up and even get the topic removed from the front page, the truth is still the truth.

The truth is that a lot of them are greedy and use underhand business practices. Thought i said that before.  

See as all the greedy cabal dealers are shouting themselves hoarse. The taste of a pudding is in the eating.
