I hope this is true cos my people are very worried about this. Looking for this cars can be very stressful. You can do the search with your price range on autotrader.com and cars.com. Please do it with zip code:77014 within 500miles radius and let me know what you find.

equlibrium: Do u deal 4 only family if not wot are ur terms of payment?
I can get any ride for any Nairalander. If I have enough dollar on my side then I buy with my money here and you pay in Naira in Naija account. Due to limited dollar on my end I had them wire all cash to my U.S account.

Mr. Banji,

I have been hearing rumors about this increase in custom clearing fees, as a custom clearing agent do you know the exact date or time frame? My family said its sometime in FEB and now they are saying its by the end of JAN. I have 7 vehicles to deliver to them and they are very worried.

Heading back to Houston from San Antonio with this 2007 highlander. This white machine belongs to a Naija pastor hence, the white choice. Got it for $7,500 after back and forth negotiations. Dealer also has a red 2005 highlander that I might be coming back for.

I have been a silent Nairalander ever since my brother introduced me to Nairaland in 2008. Now i'm a member and will be offering whatever service i can offer to Nairalanders. I'm based in Houston, Texas.

I buy cars for families/friends and average about 4 to 5 cars per year for the last 5 years. This year started off slow, was only able to ship a Toyota sienna for my bros here. Due to the politicians/customs increase in custom fees (70% increase) that will probably take effect sometime in February i have been contacted to order 7 vehicles and ship asap. Below are the vehicles i will be trying to get.

1. 2008 Toyota Highlander
2. 2008 Toyota Tundra crewmax
3. 2007 Toyota Highlander
4. 2006 or 2005 Toyota 4runner
5. 2005 Toyota Highander
6. 2005 Lexus Rx330
7. 2004 Toyota corolla sport

Will update on every purchase. Stay tuned.

teemac01: He is a fraud that's all i can say its up to you to believe what you want
You call OP a fraud, what evidence do you have? just cos someone has multiple Nairaland accounts doesn't make him or her a fraud. Your investigation failed brother. Fraudulent Nairalanders are always the ones involving themselves in other people's business.
PropertiesRe: Architectural Designs For Nairalanders Who Want To Build by Americanspecs(m): 9:02pm On Nov 22, 2013
RozayGambino: Advertisements. Architect are not supposed to advertuse.
How do u get clients if you don't advertise? Please allow OP to show us his awesome designs. I don't see any difference between this thread and a Facebook portfolio as you have suggested for OP. We are not in the 1900s, this is 2013. OP is making awesome designs and has the right to use any means to showcase/advertise his work. Why do u architects always attack each other? Helll, You probably already have another Nairaland account you advertise with. Please leave OP alone.
AutosRe: Toyota Camry To Cost N20 Million In 2014 by Americanspecs(m): 3:54pm On Nov 21, 2013
BizBooks: I’m not making this up. This happens to be the informed opinion of a Toyota
Salesman in Lagos regarding the ban on importation of tokunbo cars. Here’s
the exact quote:

“…our Camry is about N9 Million now. But I can assure you that when
we reflect the new 70% duty and levy…Camry will be about N20 Million”


This represents an increase of more than 100%. We can expect all other car prices
to go up by that much in 2014. Unfortunately, Nigeria is like a nation on a barber's
chair. We move whichever direction our leaders push us, good or bad with little or
no resistance.

It is not too late to put a stop to this ill-advised policy. Contact every elected
and government official you know by email, phone, twitter, facebook etc.
Make
your opinion known to them. If enough people complain, this policy might be
reversed.

Note: The Toyota Salesman was referring to a brand new Toyota Camry.

Disclosure: The writer is an importer of tokunbo cars and will profit from a
reversal of this policy.

OP, post their contacts here so we can start contacting them.

AutosHow To Ship Your Bulky/heavy Items From The U.s For Free by Americanspecs(op):
AS SOME OF US ALREADY KNOW, BUYING/SHOPPING FROM THE U.S CAN SAVE US A LOT OF MONEY BUT THE SHIPPING COST OF MOST OF THESE ITEMS KILLS THE IDEA OF BUYING FROM THE U.S. I HAVE ATTACHED PICS OF HOW I SHIP MOST OF MY BULKY AND HEAVY ITEMS FOR FREE.

IF YOU SHIP CARS OR KNOW ANY ONE WHO DOES YOU CAN INCLUDE YOUR ITEMS INSIDE THE VEHICLES WITHOUT ADDITIONAL CHARGES FROM SHIPPER/CUSTOMS SO LONG AS ITEMS ARE "INTENDED" FOR PERSONAL USE.

I HAVE MANAGED TO SHIP FRIDGES, LEATHER CHAIRS, TOILETS, WASHER AND DRYER, DESKTOP COMPUTERS, LAPTOPS, FLAT SCREEN TV, FLOOR/WALL TILES. WILL INCLUDE PICS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS ONLY IF VEHICLE IS BEING SHIPPED VIA CONTAINER ONLY.

Anyone with that much money should invest it in Naija instead. Investing in Naija is stress free.
