Hello Sir

Your car is a 1999 Toyota Corolla 4 door Lift back. It was produced in 11/1999.

It looks similar to this, but black.

Seat belts Could have been Replaced or the info Label tampered With.

The Most accurate way to know the Year of Manufacture is Using the 10th Digit on the VIN / Chasis number. 

For the benefit of all, I will post a response I gave elsewhere regarding the year model of cars. All cars have exactly ONE year model. There is no such thing as 92/93; 94/95; or 2005/2006 etc. The year of manufacture of a car is also not necessarily the same as the car's year model. The Chassis number or VIN of a car reveals its year model.

Below is a guideline to determine the exact year model of cars from their chassis number or VIN.

aaidel:
"The European Union has a similar regulation for VINs, but it is less stringent than the North American rule. European VINs are not required to include year, factory or vehicle attribute data. However, the two systems are compatible. While most countries have some form of VIN system that is compatible with the North American system, cars that are imported must have their VIN number entered into the MVR database along with enough information to explain what the codes are if the original VIN system differs from the ISO 3779 standard."

Buying Cars from Cotonou: The Myth&Truth

We probably have heard different brave and may be slightly bogus stories about buying cars from Cotonou and also how these cars are all smuggled via Nigerian border towns. Other stories that cloud vehicle purchase from Cotonou are the assumed inevitable problems these vehicles encounter after getting to their end users. Some of these stories are true and in spite of these tall tales, some underlying reasons still make this trading option worth considering and this is why I found it interesting to put up a little list of the facts and the fiction that surround buying cars from Cotonou.

Myth #1: Cars are Cheaper in Cotonou.

When it comes to the purchase of fairly used cars, always remember that good cars come with a higher price tag and the fact that these cars (tokunbo) cars don’t have a rigid price tag. The two main factors that influence pricing of these cars are; how clean(mileage and appearance) the vehicle is and your bargaining power (which has a whole lot to do with how informed and persuasive you are). The major Cotonou advantage is the availability of a wide range of options even for the same type of car you might have in mind.

Myth #2: Buying cars from Cotonou is plain risky.

Buying cars from Benin might not be as convenient as simply going to a nearby car lot, paying for your car and driving off immediately but, it is anything but risky if you go about it the right way. Simply ensure you obtain important documents like original custom papers (after paying the duty) and most importantly the carte-de-cruise (after obtaining the vehicle receipt) document.

Myth #3: Agents are frauds.

When it comes to trading across Nigeria-Benin borders, it’s best you have an agent to guide you through. You might be paying them for almost everything you most likely can do by yourself; but here are reasons why you should consider the agency path; firstly, these agents (experienced ones) understand the market trends and true valuation of vehicles at anytime of the year. Secondly, park-owners can spot a novice a mile away and can easily capitalize on that, the third reason is the language barrier. And lastly, after crossing the Nigerian border you don’t need to grease all palms and you need someone experienced on that route to deal with custom or police men along this route. Escorts generally charge #5,000 and above to deliver cars from the border to their destinations.

Myth #4: Cotonou cars are clean and never tampered with.

These men have blood flowing through their veins and also have families to feed just like desperate Nigerians over here do. Just like cars get upgraded and maybe tampered with here in Nigeria, these things happen as well in Benin. You can get odometer readings reduced, repair accident-vehicles and even replace essential vehicle parts. However, these practices are in most cases done in the open with the buyer or trader’s permission. Everything boils down to hiring the right agent for the job.

Myth #5: You can get your order in less than 24hours.

This is very unlikely because cars in Cotonou are subject to the first-come-first-serve basis, meaning you have to physically select the vehicle of your choice and make the necessary payment or deposit to secure the vehicle. So paying fully for a vehicle and processing it that quickly(less than 24hrs) probably means you didn’t take time to assess the vehicle (with a mechanic or technically grounded individual with knowledge about cars) or you just didn’t take out time to choose. After payment there is no going back so it’s best to exercise patience.
