I'll agree with you if the Oshodi internet cafe is in USA


The read deal with dealing in cars in US is liquidity.

For you to Have $10k cash to buy a good used car, you'll have to earn $13k(i.e 30% tax)

Putting all that money in a car plus additional $4K to get the car into Nigeria is difficult since the money goes one way.

On any car less than $10k you'll probably pay more in duty than profit(monkey dey work baboon dey chop)

honeslty it is not a laughing matter now, i see many people boasting they are car dealers in the usa, no office address, no phone number, no car advert, no website nothing, what is going on i need this for a research THYE EFFECT OF ECONOMIC CRISIS ON NIGERIAN CAR DEALERS IN THE USA i will begin to name names.

promise72:

For the fact that u are a car dealer doesnt say you have to sell to Nigeria. Does it. Is there any law that you have to post on Nairaland to prove that you are a dealer?

If you are a journalist, do you have to be employed by a Newspaper or Media house to prove that you are a juornalist? Cant you be an independent journalist and sell your story or research results?

Quit talking like you are a baby. Grow some brains. It will definately benefit you!

Selling to Nigeria is still a risk. If you dont have ppl you can trust to handle things you send a car you wont see your investment and profit. Story go come up on the car or why they cant pay you.

Doesnt it make sense for me to sell and make small profit here than be hoping for a windfall in Naija. I will do things as i see the most sensible!

Cosjo:

no need for insult promise72 except you feel you are part of the fraustrated so call nigerian car dealers in usa, so with your own explanation then no dealer in the usa should send cars to nigeria because of the small profit ok ok, i get you. wait promise you have a delaer license

promise72:

i just told you yes. What im tryn to point out is that from your idea of a dealer, i have to be selling on Nairaland. I got my license for a different reason. If i decide to inclede Nairaland, then fine. If not, fine.

Selling to Nigeria still takes longer. Shipping, clearing etc. So i cant speak for anyone else. And if you dont have ppl that will handle things the way you want why do it?

Or you just want me to prove to yuu that im a dealer, hence i have to sell on Nairaland or sell in nigeria?

Cosjo:

Ok point noted, thank you very much because you have spoken for yourslef and yourslef only thank you, your name shall be exempted from the black book. ;Di am not saying you must sell on nairaland but this is the internet where not only nigerians in nigeria have access, just about anybody, anywhere in the world can access it, so if you are a car dealer in kansas or michigan you can still showcaes your products for better business or are you not so into the car thing like that

@Busy body
Keep on pushing your baby, I won't mind half a cent from any interested person.You failed to prepare my meal this morning where you were busy with your body after glancing through the ''Eze goes to school'' your elder brother gave to you.
When next you try such a thing, i will  title you salvaged, believe me even emperoh won't take you for free of charges.

Busy_body:


Hence my "Damned if he responds, damned if he doesn't " response

And I was "just answering" too

By the way, it was "otherwise ban" not "or else BAN" Learn to read between the lines Gosh, I have so much work to do with you, God give me strength

Most dealers in US will agree with the points made by promise72.
One will not advertise or continue to advertise in NL if there is no good offer from buyers in NL. If your research from all sources factually concludes that car sales in Nigeria has dramatically decreased recently, I will attribute 85% of that to the devaluation of naira, 5% to the world economic crises, and 10% to other “Nigeria factors”.

Less supply due to unfavorable exchange rate for dealers will eventually (if not already) result to higher price of cars in Nigeria. Those who consider car a “need” rather than a “want” will still pay for it. Personally, it will not stop me from exporting cars to Nigeria. In fact, I’m shipping a number of them next month. But I will not promise you that those cars will appear in nairaland.
