Fhemmmy: I am not sure if that is the right way to put it, however, you are right to find the ride close to port or like someone suggested to him.

The reason I said its too high was because I was comparing costs.
If he was buying a car worth $5000 and above, paying $850 for ground transport wouldn't matter.
But buying a car of $1950 and paying $850 for ground transport aint right to me considering he could get same car in another location which will cost far less to transport.
Opinions could differ though...

lakad4u: hello fellow nairalanders,i really need your candid opinion and advice on this before i do it
i am about to purchase a clean maxima 2000 model from auction export which goes for about $1950,and they said the ground transportation is $850 and when i did the rough estimation on there site on how much its will cost me to ship to port lagos,they gave me rough estimate of about $1250,which they added the the ground transportation to become $2000
please my question is am i going to pay for anything again when the car arrives nigeria and do you think the risk really worth it going to that extent to purchase a car which anything can happen like natural disaster in which no insurance company can indemnify against it...i will like people to enlighten me more about this and how to go about it..please its urgent to know if to take an option of going to Cotonou will be the better option for me or importing from the auction company...thanks so much as am about to read from cars guru on nairalanders..

The ground transport fee is too high and not worth it.
Check for another Nissan Maxima that's close to an exit port so that ground transportation fees will reduce.
You could buy from the east coast, Texas, Alabama, Lousiana.
Avoid California, Arizona, Wyoming, Utah e.t.c to save cost.
Wish u all the best!

BizBooks: Problem 1: Do not buy a car at salvage auction based solely on appearance. I bought the
sparkling Toyota Camry Tiny Light below because it was super clean in and out. When I went
to pick it up, I discovered to my dismay that it wouldn't start. Granted it may be a minor
problem but this means that I have to ship it on a container since it doesn't drive. The
owner doesn't want to fix it here since American mechanics are too expensive. I think he
made the right decision (most mechanics here will charge 70 - $100 just to tell you what's
wrong with your car).

The moral of the story is: Do not buy any car from salvage auction unless it clearly states
"Runs and Drives". If it simply states "Engine Start", do not buy it. It will not drive and
shipping companies will not accept it for RORO.

I bought a similar vehicle from Copart 5 weeks ago. It was clearly stated "Run and Drive"
Unfortunately when the truck driver went to the yard, he discovered the vehicle doesn't even start. He bought a new battery and fixed and yet it didn't start.
Now I'm forced to accept the vehicle in that condition because "all sales are final and "as is, "where is".
Sometimes the information on auction websites are incorrect and misleading. So even with several years of experience one could fall victim.

Hi, kindly help me with the report of this VIN: 5TDZA23CX5S328312
Regards!

SOLD!!!
