America is the number 1 country to source for automobile spare parts, so are u in United States or have someone fully ready, willing and free to source the parts for you in USA?

Note: you will need to buy accidented cars in US at very affordable price there and then you knock them down as in pieces the cars and remove some parts that will fill the container space.

You don't even need a warehouse to start this business, all you need is to buy the right spare parts (Honda Accord 2004, 05, 07, 08, etc, Toyota camry 02, 03, 04, 07, etc, Toyota Siena 99, 2002, etc).

Then you rent a warehouse space at Ladipo spare parts market in Lagos; can help u organize all these if truly u are ready.

Don't buy from Europe....most of their cars are outdated here and the new ones are costlier than American own due to good insurance policy in USA.

Due to the current dollar-naira exchange rate, you should budget between: 6million - 12million naira to purchase spare parts that will fill a 40ft container.

You can ask more questions and I will try to answer u

my brither. i am in nigeria and i want to source for these parts in china. the amount u mentioned is scary u know that business is better when u start it small. so i am looking at two million for a start. i dnt need to fill up 40ft container for a business that i am jst starting. what do u think?

ibrahimdoc:

yes i want to go to china for it and i want to major in toyota parts

Do you have any special preference? Brake Pad? Fan belt? Bearings? Hub? Or General imports? On another note, if you're thinking of 2 million imports, you can't do it alone and you have to choose one line.

China for automobile spare parts Hmmm

I will suggest you go for audio visuals. If you need a detailed guide on that, let me know...maybe we need to see in person and sit down. but that will cost u because what I will reveal to u will fetch u plenty money.

please my advise for you is that u learn motor parts business. how they sell, who they sell to , how much they sell. how to know original and fake etc. spend like 3 months to learn it.
2. first pay for a shop and start selling. ware house need will still come.
3. u can source ur suppliers from China. just send them the parts number and they will do it for you.
4 . do not use all the amount just use half and order two or three parts in bulk.
5. do not give any nairaland money lest.....

am into motor parts even

for me..... there is not much gain like that in filter because filter is easy to learn so everyone is into it. filter have both oil gas and exhaust filter for different model. for now gain should not matter, create ur name, sell to both retailers and mechanic. filter sell fast especially wen it is cheap but gain is small. brake pad sells with more gain
note that Japanese have many models...... Toyota Nissan Mazda and some america cars like KIA. buy for as many model as u can.
ur should be located near motor parts dealers .
wen u go to China u go shock because u go see many filter and to identify the one for each model and model of cars that uses the same model.

Follow dymaco advice.

You need to learn the trade or else, you are opening biz for some people.

Be warned!!!!

@op, motor spare parts is good if you understand the market, I have elder brothers in USA,UK,Spain, They are both into motor/parts importation, I do invest my own money, While the one in USA specialised mostly on container, Cars,Parts,, the one in UK, Buys cheap righthand vehicles,Bucher the parts and load same on container, The one in spain does same, he buys cars too,butcher and load, But he does not use container, He specialized on ford transit Bus, he prefer to Buy 3 ford transit bus loaded with engines,parts, Mainly Volkswagen(goft 3) engines and underneats, Nissan vannets, toyota, And when he loads this 3 ford transits, its equivalent to 40ft container, its will be cleared, I hire drivers to help me drive them to Trinity,Where we rent warehouse, sell off the parts, while selling the parts, Aboki guys would not allow the 3fords transit to leave Lagos-Bini, They will buy those fords. I only invest in the one in spain, Because I can buy 1 ford transit bus, while he loads it with his parts, or he buys the ford transit bus, and my parts will be inside..... with all this, i could invest little of like 600k to get 800k for Bus, or invest 600k for parts, and make 1.2m as profits. The hot cake parts is Volkswagen(golf3) Engine and underneat, I can invest like 300k for 10 engines and underneat, and when its get to the market, i sell them sharp sharp for (very cheap) 120k as clearance, I get my 1.2 or more than. You cannot do it yourself, you need to have someone over there. and also most importantly, any of those IBo guys that have links to buyers that help you sells, They will tell you what and what is moving in the market and they will tell you how much its sold, then its left for you to do your calculation to balance incase you wish to import.....Good luck.

even if its N50,000 or N20,000 you have, you can use it also to buy Horn, you can imports car horns for 50,000, and sell for N600 or N700, for set, you can still turn your capital to X3..... Just know your way thats all. if you have good products, you will not waist your time looking for buyer.

Listen to this guy, going to China to import spare parts isn't the issue...selling them fast is the big deal. but if u follow this guy I quoted, u will never regret, this was the reason y I first asked u if u live in USA or know someone living there....I have someone that imports from Spain too, but European spare parts don't sell as fast and profitable as American spare parts...do more research to see if u can get an American parts specialist collabo, it will help u a lot. good luck

But can someone buy toyota parts from US wouldn't it be expensive? i think it will be expensive thats why most people go to china for it.

Bros, USA is the best place to buy. What makes the cost prize to be much is the dismantling cost, the agent fees i:e when someone has to buy on your behalf because you don't live in the US and buying the cars way too expensive.
If you live in the US it is better but if you have to go from Nigeria, it might be expensive if you do not know the nitty gritty of the business. Remember you have to buy the cars from different locations, wait for them to arrive the location where they will be dismantled and loaded in a container. All these times, you have to be paying for accommodation as the case maybe and feeding. These also add to the cost of the goods.
If you can get to someone who goes there from Nigeria here and understand what they do to cut cost, then youth will proceed from there.

my brother start with china.....
china parts sell faster..... naija use original parts rarely......

You need to do thorough feasibility study before you venture.

Bros dont just reason china, were will you get most used cars to butcher? will u get used Benz cars in china to butcher or even to ship to naija? Can you get Volvwagen parts or used cars to butcher or ship to naija? even honda/toyotal self, Were and how easy do you think you get access to this Cars to butcher or even ship? listen if you have any friend in china, tell him to look for comon Nissan sunny in China, for example, Nissan Sunny 2004, can be sold 800euro, or less than 850usd, or 410pounds(righthand drive), all this used ones oooo. I belt you if u can even see it in china, if you see ham for 1500usd, Make u go do thanksgiven for church.... What am tryin to say is that china is good for New things, But for motor spare parts, You non go see buyer, because people prefer tokunbor parts than new parts nowaday, Wether na d money dey cause ham oooo, i never still no why.
