Toyota Paseo

The Toyota paseo in the US was sold from 1992-1997. The engine is a 1.5 liter engine. Its a very good car as far as petrol consumption is concerned. The engine is very similar to that of the Tercel. Great little cars with surprisingly loyal followings. They tend to have a very good low end torque which makes them moves very quickly from start despite a small engine.

Some Paseos, surprisingly are convertibles (Maintaining the top will be something to think about). They are somewhat rare to find even here in California that seems to be a ground zero for automobiles. You dont see paseos everyday.

With that said, the challenge we will run into here is simple and hard: Finding a clean one worthy enough of our time.

These cars tends to be liked by a younger crowd, hence there is tendency for abuse. However, you can still find very good clean ones around used by matured drivers to buy.

Also, u need to mention what year/body design you are looking for. Are you looking for Manual Transmission or Automatic?

Since these cars are not within the 10 year rule, it will come to cotonou. So the only way i will get involved is that 100% is paid upfront. Getting a Paseo (1996-1997) model from US to cotonou will be about $6500. You handle the rest from there.
$4000 for the car, $1500 for shipping, and $1000 my fees.

There are few guys in the house that can help you get it in from cotonou to Nigeria.

Otherwise you can check around Lagos or go to Cotonou and see what you can come up with. I have attached some pics for references. I dont have to preach to the converted. You know exactly what you are looking for but still,,,,,

Let me know what happens.

Go ahead and buy. No shaking as far as parts is concerned. Like i said, it shared a lot of parts with Tercel and few parts with Corolla. You will be fine. Toyotas are more easier to maintain than opel as far as parts are concerned. You can still get toyota parts. Go ahead and buy if you like the car. Test it well.

Lets see pics if possible. How much are you getting it for?

Keep us posted.

that is a very excellent price. As long as the car is in great shape and runs right. Price is just a little piece of the puzzle of value. Not the whole component. Go for it. Is it toks or Naija used? If its toks, i bet the guy is just dropping the price to sell the car. people dont know too much about the car and hence dont sell very well.

lets see pics when its possible for you.

Good luck.

lets know how it goes. post pics too

Good luck
