Hello Bradgg,

I and my cousin are really interested in your property but we can't reach you on the numbers you have provided.
Please check the numbers to see if they are correct. One is switched off and the other just doesn't connect.

@ Poster,

I understand your dilema. The advice given already here, should not be ignored in its entirety as it makes some sense. However, that is not to say that you should sell the items at give away prices.

My advice is that you should do a "yard sale". It's not common here abouts, but a few people have done it successfully. Its common in the U.S, and a family friend of mine had one here in Nigeria fter she got work permit in the UK under the HSMP (Have you seen "Clean House" and their yard sales?). She sent invites out to all, offering drinks and snacks (like a going away party). Attendees were required to come along with cash and/or their cheque books.

Rules: If you pay cash you carry go. If you issue cheque,  you cant carry until your cheque clears.

What you have to do is do a print out of all the items and send it out with a notice of the date you intend to have the sale. Send it out to your family, friends, ,neighbours and co-workers, by surface mail and/or email. Mind you, a lot of these people have being eyeing this items and hoping that you will "dash" them when you are leaving. So, be very formal and objective and have an idea of your lowest acceptable price.

If you give this a shot, I think you might get better pricing. Its just that culturally our people  tend to keep travel runs hush hush, so you might not want this publicity.

All the best!

Bebrief,

Thanks for your quick reply. That is not exactly within my budget. In fact your price is double my budget.

Are we talking about the same car? I better settle for the 1998 model.

What else can you tell me about the car? I will give you a call shortly.

Hi All,

I want to buy a second - hand Toyota Corolla 1.6 xli. It has a hatch back (or something of the sort). I have seen it around. It's compact and suits my needs right now.

I hear its a 1998 model, and that there is also a 2001 model around.

Specifically, I need a very clean one and please note that factory fitted AC and automatic gear system is a MUST.

Who knows this car, the price and whether or not it's readily available?
