What's the difference between a Lagos car and a Cotonou car apart from the Year of the Car?

And how much to deliver a Golf III to Lagos from Cotonou (car and journey) combined?

How come nobody buys American cars on this site, is it that bad or are parts hard to find in 9ja?, The Ford Mustang is a strong car, as strong as a Japansese car.

Anyone know of any affordable shipping company from California to Tin Can via Ro Ro? If you know post their name I will like to call them for Estimate and compare them to those in the Mid West and East Coast of the USA. Those in Cali always have to go  East in order to buy Auto due to shipping cost is higher from Cali cos of distance to the Port for 9ja shipments.

Thanks.

^^ that is cool, thanks, so they are looking for Volkawagon III or IV then. If you have it for sale around January 2010, I will like to know, My Lagos bros want it. preferably 1998 and above

I don't know bro, that is why I asked the experts, I know there is a golf 2 and 3, and I know folk who say that they are looking for one, and 1997 and above is what they are looking for, I don't know much about golfs,

@ Pak - there is a 2000 Toyota Corolla here that fits your budget.

Relax, I don't want the car. Not my type. I know some Golf fanatics around who are looking for this car for a good price. It is up to you to sell or not. Nobody is forcing you, nah negotiations and bargaining they will do first. I prefer Japanese cars only.

I have to admit that the car sounds cheaper than most listed. Is it Tokunbo or 9ja used ? What is the mileage? I need to see the car fax.

If u have an economical, strong working and useful Naija used car, There is a buyer available, the car has to be in Lagos for inspection, post pictures, mileage and cost.

I want to tell you all that you do a great service to Nairaland giving all these free car faxes, because it is not free most place when u want to see the details like you guys do here.

Thanks Jesarmy, right now I have somebody in Chicago Auctions looking for those cars for me. I will give him some time to look, if he can't close the deal, I will keep you informed.

Thanks Sir!

If you ever want to get rid of this car for 300k, I have people in Lagos looking for this type of car but for that price, let  me know and I will tell them to email you and make the connection.

Very clear my brother. Thanks.

^^ my brother what is 25% of a year, lol, for a 2002-2003 car in those Models I just mentioned, I just want to know what mileage I should not exceed for 9ja road? Like 130k, I need ure expertise? I want to check out an Auction first to see how it goes, then f/u with you or Kunle if don't like what I see at the Auction.

The rest is self explanatory - thanks for that, But mileage I am not so sure of, I don't want the owner to be in mechanic day and nite. I am not going to ride this myself. I need a sound engine and mileage that is acceptable for those years.

Oga Fhemmy, so if I go to an auction myself, what should I be looking at in mileage? What should be my cut off for either a 2002 and 2003 Nissan, Toyota and Honda for Nigeria. I want to stop at 130k mileage, please advice. Thanks.

I heard it is hard to get Acura spare parts is Naija, is this true? I personally don't believe it since it is Japanese product.

Anyway, good luck, but u need to post pictures, VIn if you want to sell your car.

^^^ can you post the picture of this car, and where is it shipping from

If you can also find a 2003 Altima picture and post as well with less mileage that will be good too.

If it is shipping from the East coast, USA, I am interested


One more thing, if you can tell me what the average mileage a used car can be in Nigeria and function properly without constant engine problem. I will appreciate it.

Down here most of our car mileages are low (my current ride is 48k and that is normal here) but most of these cars being sold in Nigeria from USA , Canada and Europe have high mileages like 100k and above, I notice. So what is good used car mileage for Naija roads without much problem?

Oga Fhemmmy
When u say high mileage for this one, how high is high, give me a number example.

So this price will get me the car and at least shipping. I have to clear with how much?

Thanks.

2002 Nissan Altima - $5800 (Inclusive of buying and shipping)

I have emailed you, about to call it a nite soon.

Which part of Cali do you live in and when are you coming back to Cali or will you be in Florida for a while?

The inclusive price I meant was car, shipping and clearance, not driving the car to Eastern Nigeria or license, I know that will be extra cost.

Send me your email and we can chat more.

If you can find me a car yourself at an auction preferable in the East Coast where shipping is cheaper, I will pay for the cost of delivery and clearance and you can charge your commission. I don't like going to auctions to be honest with u and shipping from Cali is the worst cos of the distance to the ports creating more expense.

I'm in Cali

yes all inclusive, I have my eyes open for Auctions as well as buying from here, anyone that comes first, I will take. If I get a car within my budget on Nairaland, I will buy. If I get a good priced car at Auction, I will buy then ship myself, which ever comes first.

I deh abroad.

Thanks Kunle, I will find out the preview dates first.

Ok, I have been here for a week now looking for a car. Time to buy the car and move on. Buying and shipping and clearing will be a hassle for me although I can do it if pushed but I will rather have it ready and I pay the piper.

Year 2002 and above
America specs
Interior - either leather or no leather
Either a Camry, Accord, Maxima or Altima
Clean
Strong Engine
Adequate Mileage
VIN
Please it can't be a lemon it is gonna be a gift.

I am not in the country so I will send representative to check out the car, inspect it and report to me - if the coast is clear, I pay in dollar equivalent.
I need advice, will the car be registered for me by the seller, if not can they do that. It needs to go East by road after purchase.
Somebody will pick the car up from where you operate and take back to the East, so it needs to be registered in Lagos with Lagos license plate.

Anyone take installation payment? I can break it into 3 - just asking I know that 100% of the dealers will say no. But I want you to know that I am scared myself, wiring the money to a complete stranger and not knowing if I am being scamed or not. Who can I trust? Anyway, if you have the car for this price with my answers let me know. It is time for action so that I can move on. Thanks to all my Nairaland car contacts.

Fhemmmy the Auction I went to does not allow the public to test drive it. The mileage is taking a look at the Odometer which might be rolled back it is any ones guess, and it is hard to do a car fax when the pubic is not allowed to preview the cars and checkout the VIN before the auction. How does one buy from such an auction? Needless to say I did not buy anything.

pure water.

750 Naira? Can I ask what is wrong with the car so that I can be ready for problems and know what to expect. Cos this seems to fit my budget and may be too good to be true for this car.

Can I see fuller picture? Any body damage?
And what about the VIN number? can you post that please.

If all checks out I will tell somebody to come inspect it at Owerri and I will take this off your hands soonest.

Is this car still available?

^^ Most of these cars, they smash them for USA with the Obama plan due to scarcity of gasoline, I wonder if the dealers here managed to buy those cars before they went the way of "Clunker". But I still luv them though and the prices still did not come down, how ironic.

^^ that did not include clearing -ooo

This my ideal car, what's your last price? For xmas sake?

I already did
