Dear Mr. Ahonohai,

In response to your request on this thread

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-361181.0.html

[b]I have found several ways to approach your request. You failed to mention how much you are willing to spend.

However, i have a notion that you know exactly what you are looking for.

I have a considerable interest in classic autos (which doesn't mean a lot to 99.99% of Nigerian buyers) cos most people are looking for the shiniest newest toys out there. So either classic or current autos, you can put out the call this way.

I particularly enjoyed the "find" of old automobiles. There's a gratifying effect in it for me. At least for me.

Moving on, i  reached out to my contacts and found the following:

1974 VW Bug. Its has a fresh rebuilt engine and runs strong. The car could still use some paint and interior work or drive "as is" if you don't mind.

The cost breakdown is as foillows:

Cost of car          $2500
Shipping              $1800
Fedex Charges    $ 200   (Shipping/Clearing Docs will be mailed here to  me then i mail to you in Naija)
My fees                $ 500   (I Work really cheap  )
                         ------------
                            $5000[/b]


Please be fully aware that vehicle can only go to cotonou cos of the year. You will be responsible for clearing


[size=14pt]All funds must be fully paid upfront[/size]

Thanks a lot.

[size=14pt]And in the event that you feel like restoring them on your own, these ones attached can do. However, you might have problem driving across from Cotonou to Lagos. They run but not too great. You might have to fix them in Cotonou before driving them into Lagos.

These will be going up for auction tomorrow (Jan. 21st, 2010). Should sell for about $1500. We can be on the lookout for other upcoming auctions for unrestored ones in the same price range. It all depend on you. You can spend as little as you want to spend or as much as you wish to spend.[/size]


This is a 1974 Super Beetle. Doesn't run. But can get it running for shipping purposes. Shipper will not take if it doesn't run but can't guarantee condition to make it to Lagos from Cotonou

Excellent work, Kunle - you just gotta love the older Beetles.

These are cars only a white man will like.

^^ yep, white folks have a different lifestyle, a very rich white woman I know of told me how happy she was to have bought a 1988 Volvo she just purchased that needs some body work, headlight work and some ceiling of the car work, besides those problems, she is ecstatic, retired and lives on a ranch in Colorado.

A black person with her kind of money will buy a tear rubber Denali, one full payment!

So Volks posted here are a white man's dream, Naija folks should pre order for them, the other way round, and send them all the volks down here in Naija to America for dollar!

I will like to fly one of this

I still see some of these for sale here in Lagos. . . . Nice job though
