2013 Toyota Camry Hybrid, Should I Import To Nigeria by Ivegotsolutions(m): 1:11pm On Aug 02, 2020
Dear friends, I recently ventured into cars. Among the cars I paid for is 2013 Toyota Camry Hybrid.

I'm scared to import the hybrid here but my mechanics encouraged me to go ahead with the importation.

Are Nigerians driving Hybrid cars?

The car has covered 87k millage.

I plan to resell for 4 million.
To clear the car now will cost about 1.2m

Please I need your advice

I don’t know much about cars
But I remember my friend always complaining about his Hybrid Toyota Highlander.
Maybe this would be a different case.

You will struggle to find a buyer. Your business capital will be tied down and expected profits will vanish due to you having to sell below cost to recoup whatever you can.

Buy a clean title non hybrid Camry and thank me later.


P.S. Dollar to Naira is $1 = N475. Be wise.

Is the 'mechanic' buying the vehicle?

How many hybrid vehicles do you notice on naija roads?

How many mechanics can rightly fix a hybrid vehicle?

Most importantly, are you aware hybrid vehicles can not go RORO?

Bad idea.

Why can't they go Roro?

Below vehicles are not allowed to be shipped on ACL/Grimaldi (sallaum will most likely follow in coming days).

- Used Hybrid and Electric vehicles

- Vehicles running on LPG ( Liquefied Petroleum Gas ) CNG ( Compresses Natural Gas ) , LNG (liquified natural gas)

A contact mentioned that the last container ship fire was traced to a salvaged Tesla vehicle, hence this policy

Yes, only a few vehicles were unaffected.

Some vehicles were even burnt beyond recognition!

A 2013 hybrid Camry with 87 thousand miles purchased for less than $10,000 and clearing is N1.2m no shipping cost to be sold for N4m

Your arithmetic get K leg.. Do your calculation again so we understand how you are going to pay money to someone in US to get it to Nigeria under cost price.

The Shipping is 1400$ by container and all agents that i have called for the clearing is quoting 1.2m for me. The market price on Jiji today is about about 4million.

My brother here said something spectacular, it's either you are being scammed by someone or that you are not telling the true story.

So...just shipping and duty is already over 1.8m. Very curious where you plan on seeing that car to buy for $5k.

Don't be a Thomas. I'm the one who purchased the car. Call any agent for the cost of clearing 2013 Toyota Camry.

My brother..... Car users run far from hybrid cars and if at all you r gonna get a buyer,if at a cost with profit then it will certainly be purchased by a novice cos the aesthetics alone go fit drive u crazy..... But that aside,if it's an experienced car user then it will always be priced below cost price and for the fact that u might not want your money to be too tied down.....u may decide to sell below the cost price with loss.....Hence, avoid bringing in hybrid vehicles ...

Going by your post N1.9m will be spent on shipping alone , that means N2.1m is what you paid for a 2013 Camry hybrid which is about $4500.

This is when people have to be realistic on claims because adding up the numbers open up unbelievable things. 87,000 miles Camry!

Now maybe a 387,000 miles retired taxi will make a lot more sense

I got the car from auction site at the rate of 4250$. The car had side dent which affected the suspension. Already fixed that over there with about 500$.

Do not calculate Naira rate for. I deal on streaming services and 90% of my customers are Americans. so i use my sales to repurchase car.

Though I have made up my mind not to ship to Nigeria anymore. Dealer on jiji with the same car has not been able to sell his since September last year.
