[size=8pt][size=8pt]I was just wondering what are the advantages and disadvantages of buying a used car at Cotonou or Berger( Lagos).
Guys and of-course ladies, please share your car buying experience at these markets.

Where else can you get an agglomeration of variegated buy options in a singular location?
Where else can you get to buy vehicles in their shipped state?
Where else can you buy a vehicle from and still save some funds that would have been exhausted if bought in Lagos?
Where else can you feel the great joy of shopping for your own vehicle in a most peaceful atmosphere,devoid of tout and touting?
where can you get the best car deals from?
Where do 70% of berger sellers get their stocks from?

The answer is so simple and easy.
THE FAMOUS COTONOU AUTO MARKET.

ikakahu: people should stop telling lies in order to get customers/clients.It was all about about this 48 hrs(2 days) period of car delivery that made me venture into such a deal.After 1 wk and 2 days,I ve not yet got my delivery although the biz was not done with the poster but with another dealer who also promised that I will get the car under 48 hrs.My anger here is even if its going to take a month,tell your customer the truth.The most annoying part is that all the gist the guy told me about buying a car in cotonou were all false ranging from prizes to duration of delivery.When you get there,it ll be another story again.From stories to stories.You may even find out that you ve spent more what you would have bought the car in lagos although my main concern was to choose from varieties and not cost cos of my high taste(not by my making) BUT I MUST SAY THE TRUTH THAT I EVEN BOUGHT THE CAR MORE EXPENSIVE THAN I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT IN LAGOS.I ve vowed never to venture into such a deal again as next time I ve it in my to get another car,I will simply walk into car shop here in naija .Its only good for those that want to smuggle their cars to nigeria but if you want to pay full duty,my brother,my sister,buy it here in naija or even look for a reliable friend or relation that will buy it for you in U.S.
lest I forget,They told me that cotonou people don t work their cars,that they sell it as it comes but that's a clear lie which I confirmed by my self.They have workshops where they work accident cars and some of these workshops are even within the auto sales yard.I tell you,it was a bitter experience and a case of misinformation and I believe that most people must have experienced this as well.Even when I told two of my friends about this,they equally told me that they had such an ugly experience too,that if i had told them that I was going to cotonou to buy the car,that they would have discouraged me.I don t have time because of my busy schedule but I promised my self that I am going to put a write up as regards this.PLS IF YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAD A DECENT DEAL IN COTONOU,COME AND SHARE IT HERE BUT IF YOU THAT YOU HAD AN UGLY ONE,ALSO EDUCATE OTHERS SO THAT THEY DON T MAKE MISTAKES.

One more important advice,never change a huge sum of amount when going.You can change like 20K so that when you ve have seen by yourself and confirmed that all they told you were lies,you can kindly come back to naija and chang your money to naira and you won t loose so much money.I was cajoled into changing over a million naira and when I saw the truth,I notice that changing the money back would result to more losses and what if being robbed on the way?So that was a serious challenge to me too as I had no option than to buy there.

I am not here to ridicule any body's bussiness but just the sincere truth and experience is what am sharing with you because if you are not well informed,you will be deformed and you know what that means.ALWAYS BE TRUTHFUL!!!

richyrich4life: if you can buy from yard-sales in US, that'll be your best bet.

mtamu: @Femmy2010
Are you saying that most sellers at Berger buy from cotonou??
Any Lagos based sellers in the house lets hear what you have to say
@ larryshow4
Are you saying that berger has limted options for one to choose or am i getting you wrong?
I think we need comments from both berger sellers and others outside berger

hardey11: My brothers and Sisters the bottomline is we must learn to support our own.By buying from your own people in your own place you stand a chance to gain more in all we do from pure water to Aircraft and all in between. When you cart away your hard earn money to trade with foreigners how will your unemployed brother, friend or sister get a job. Growing up in the U.S. I learn key fact, that the best business is local....Cotonue or even any other country will not contribute a ding directly or indirectly to your lifeblood but that business Man in berger will surely turn around N buy something too from a relative or another business like your. Case in point Sport is a Multi Billion Dollar Industry that have a great ripple effect on any local Economy but of what benefit or job creation Man U or Arsenal been to our local economy instead of us supporting N buying the likes of Eyinba or our Basketball Club Jersey that will lessen the unemployment situation...so my people lets think Globally N act Locally. Thanks

Kockane:
Oga... Shut up. So because u want to support naija economy, u must buy sumfn u wldnt be happy with

wesley80: What a senseless and uncouth fellow you are. If you disagree with him why not just say so like a decent human? why ask him to "shut up" for being patriotic and putting across his view?

larryshow4: Why would I be buying some cars and land them at the same price I would find it in lagos. Say example I get a camry landed for 800k and I see the same car in beger in lagos and the dealer is selling it 800k too and his telling me its cotonou cleared. Definately there's something wrong. Am not conderning buying cars in Lagos, there are some cars I check lagos for too. But I can't be a dealer having a stand in lagos and buy a car that's 100% in shape in cotonou, I'll get something that I have to fix some few things. I'll be getting a discount off and would be saving a lot to give me gain and when it comes to the customs duty. I can't be an agent and be paying original customs duty of about 100k plus for a car. How then would I be making gain? I'll be paying a packaged customs paper that would cost me a token and increasing my gainn and still a whole lot of reasons too. You're open to option when buying in cotonou. A wild range of options to pick from, unlike beger.
