Hi All, first post here on the site and have a few questions maybe you guys would be willing to help me out.
Is it cheaper to buy a used car in the USA and import it to Nigeria then it is to buy the same used car in Nigeria?
For instance, if Kelly Blue Book Value of a used Toyota Rav4 is US$10000 would the same car be more expensive to buy in Nigeria locally than importing it, considering the exchange rates as well? Can someone please explain how that works?

I have a Reconstructed low mileage 2014 Toyota Rav4 that I want to sell and Im trying to figure out how the prices of used cars in Nigeria would compare to exported cars from the USA so I come up with a competitive price.

thank you

For real??

A lot can sway the equilibrium. Like clearing the car from the ports, ie your ability to get an honest clearing agent can reduce importation cost, risk and time.
It is definitely cheaper to bring it down yourself also because you cannot cheat yourself with the mileage & body and engine conditions.

I found these two sites and

Are these reputable sites to gauge used car values in Nigeria?

It seems like when I compare a used car on those sites with the same year, make, model, and mileage, in the USA and Nigeria that the asking prices are a lot more in Nigeria after doing the exchange rate. So for a rough example if a car is worth US$10000 in the USA it would be worth US$15000 in Nigeria.

It's is cheaper in Nigeria if you are not a car dealer.

Only car dealers import cars cheap in Nigeria because of their experience in the field. A new Comer will incur some expenses he didn't plan for.

My thoughts tho.

Make sure you import a fast moving brand to start with.
