thegame: No disrespect but Mr ExpressBooking, how can you bring such accidented cars to Nigeria for sale na because I'm pretty sure they're not here for your private use. This is just pure "Money over Life" mentality. do you even think these avalons are safe at all

Do you know the condition of those ones they sell in Lagos or bring from Cotonou. 85% of vehicles imported into Nigeria are salvage vehicles. These vehicles can be perfectly fixed by the mechanics here. All you need is to buy OEM parts and fix them back. This is because the spare parts and Labour is cheaper here in Nigeria due to Availability of spare parts from Japan, Asia and Europe. If you See the type of cars they bring to Lagos.
That's where the economic mess has pushed us to.if you see clean non salvage car from America, the landing cost here, infact you will be losing a huge amount of money as no one can ever buy from you at the price you might want to sell it because there is a market range of price.
For instance do you know that 2003-2007 Toyota Corolla sells averagely between 1.5m-1-7m but if you go for a clean one without any dent or so the Landing price for you here after clearing should be about 1.7m thenhow much will you sell?2m ? I bet you the car will stay long and after six months you may start reducing the price to sell it off and at the end of the day you might even sell it at cost price or below cost price

chelseabmw: Lovely .................. how much to clear this ride ?

Really don't know how much but maybe between 850,000 to 1,000,000 or thereabout. There was this 2010 Honda pilot that was cleared for me at 1,250,000

I don't know how they allowed scammers to take control over carxus.com. it is just like checki.com.ng but our people have abused it. They actually designed that site to enable is Africans who buy cars from them and are reselling to be able to resale their car through that platform but scammers hijacked it. Be rest assured www.auctionexport.com is reliable but they lost control of carxus.com

chelseabmw: Lets not derail this thread then...How much did you get the toyota avalon for? I'm not in nigeria @the moment

Find the pictures for the one I bought $4065

chelseabmw: Lets not derail this thread then...How much did you get the toyota avalon for? I'm not in nigeria @the moment

I got one for $4065 and the second one for $3675 buying,charges and shipping to Lagos. My budget for clearing is 260,000 for each. If you send me your email, I can send you the purchase invoice,vehicle release forms and bill of lading on Grande Gabon Grimaldi lines. Find the pictures below for the one of $3675

shoerack6: The thing is I don't even nag. I've never done that before since we got married. I don't even talk when he's angry and lashing at me.

He is the type of husband we call baby husband. Tell him to grow up and you too should stay away from making him see reasons to act childishly

chelseabmw: Seriously speaking,
Are you saying if i deposit 350k i will get a 2010 Acura MDX ?

Now I understand why you made the comment on that thread 'how reliable is AuctionExport'. I never heard about the scams on carxus.com . I now understand what you meant.it is better to buy from www. auctionexport.com than carxus.com
At carxus everybody has access to add cars and at any price but on AuctionExport it is not so.cars are added by auctionexport administrators

chelseabmw: we dont need any advise from you cos you work with them

Chelsea BMW you are a moderator and ought have checked out AuctionExport before now. You advertise for them on Nairaland,does that mean you didn't check them out before approval of their ads?.i don't work with them, I am just a good customer. All I know is that they are reliable and their cars are cheaper. If you are in Lagos call me from the 9th January 2014 and you will be there while I receive my two units of 2001 Toyota Avalon XL from them. They are simply 100% trustworthy. I would not join foreigners to defraud fellow Nigerians if it was a fraud. They also have a shipping office Perfect Touch shipping at 54 Ibafo street,Coconut bus stop Olodi,Apapa Lagos

4tunebest: Every arrow of death in the year 2014 and beyond, back to sender. No one will mourn over me, neither will I mourn over anyone. I have cancelled that... in my closet. I hereby cancel it publicly in Jesus mighty name. Amen.

May God console the family of the departed. Amen.

Captainregi I am a registered AuctionExport dealer with dealer number 243978. I have bought about 5 cars from them since 2013. Their slogan is 'A business you can trust' and so it is.

REGISTRATION
First of all is registration with AuctionExport as a dealer. Usually with your email address and contact information,once your registration is approved,they will send you your dealer number and login password through your email.

DEPOSIT
The next phase is placing a deposit on your dealer account. This can be done using money bookers online or by sending wire transfer. For us in Nigeria,they accept wire transfers and you can find their bank wire details in red text on the right hand side of profile when you log in. The minimum amount you can deposit is $400 which enables you to use 'bid option' or 'buy now option' for vehicles whose purchase cost is not more than $4,000. If you intend to participate in Go-live bidding (Live online auctions), you must have a deposit of $1,000 or more which enables you to bid for vehicles up to $10,000 on Go-live auction.

Once your deposit is received, AuctionExport will credit your dealer account with the amount they received which is usually $35 less than what you sent due to bank charges. So if you want them to credit your account with $400, you have to send $435. Wire transfer can be done using a swift transfer through domiciliary account. Always include $35 bank offshore bank charge to what you are sending and tell the bank you are bearing the onshore charges. The onshore charges is usually $25 fixed telex charge + 0.05% of the total amount you are sending.
For example I funded my domiciliary account with $10,000 and authorized transfer of $9,800 to AuctionExport with me bearing the onshore charges, AuctionExport credited my account with $9,765 and my local bank deducted $9,918 from my account. So because of these bank charges you might want to send your total estimated purchase cost (vehicle cost,AuctionExport charges,ground and ocean transportation) at one transaction.

When you are done with deposits which usually takes about two days to get to AuctionExport due to the intermediate bank, you are now ready to purchase a car.

CARS
You have to search a find your preferred vehicle. This part is very crucial and you need to pay attention. There are clean cars and salvage cars. There also 'bid now' and 'buy now' cars.
BID NOW cars are vehicles that you can bid on. All biddings on AuctionExport site is pre-bidding and they will submit the highest bid amount on their site to the auction on behalf of the bidder. For Go-live auctions you can bid directly for the car by yourself at home. Some bid now cars also have buy now options.
BUY NOW cars are vehicles that you can buy immediately without bidding. Just submit a buy now request and once it is processed the car becomes yours
CLEAN CARS are vehicles that doesn't have any documents issues,accidents or loan records and problems. They are always as good as new.
SALVAGE CARS are vehicles that may have had loan records,title check problems,damages,accidents,flood, mechanical problems, minor dents and scratches, failed inspections and stuffs like that. These category of cars are usually the cheapest on AuctionExport but requires much caution when buying to avoid mistakes. There are subcategories under salvage cars
1: Run and drive- cars that are readily drivable. They may have body damages or not but once you start the engine and engage the transmission you are good to go
2: Engine starts- cars that only the engine starts and it cannot drive independently on its own.
3: Non drivable- cars that neither start nor drive.

On salvage car auctions, there are private and public auctions. On PUBLIC auctions you can participate directly online but on PRIVATE auctions AuctionExport will bid on your behalf and notify you if you win the car.all you need do is to set a maximum bid price on their site or request live-on-the phone bidding. Their representative will contact you shortly before the auction is started. You can also request for live on the phone bidding for PUBLIC auctions if you can't participate live.

So once you determine the car you are buying you can request an autocheck  report on the vehicle history after which you proceed. You need to be fast and decisive on purchase because good offers on vehicles are quickly grabbed as AuctionExport has over 200,000 active buyers all over the world.
BEFORE YOU BUY
Before you hit that bid now or buy now please ensure the following;
1. That you have checked out the vehicle pictures and details to ascertain the level of damage for salvage vehicles.
2. That you check the type title document the vehicle has. Don't buy if the vehicle has dealer only title or bill of sale as the former is for dealers in North America while the latter cannot be shipped as a whole vehicle but cut into parts.
3. That you check the AuctionExport fee,paperwork fee, auction buyer fee,internet fee, gate fee as applicable to the vehicle to see if it matches with your budget when added to vehicle cost
4. Also check the location of the vehicle in the USA. If the vehicle is salvage run and drive without visible major damage, it can be shipped RoRo but if it has extensive damage it will go containerized. If the vehicle is salvage engine starts or non drivable then it most be containerized. Now pay attention.
A: All containerized vehicles are consolidated in a 40 feet container containing between 3-5 vehicles
B: All consolidated containers must exit through New Jersey/New York exit port. ( in this case always pay attention to locations of vehicles)
C: All containerized vehicles must be cleared and unloaded by AuctionExport authorized agent at Lagos, Perfect Touch shipping solutions, 54 ibafo road, by coconut bus stop, olodi Apapa Lagos
D: RoRo vehicles can exit from New Jersey , Jacksonville, Georgia, Texas and California

Please note the following States with high and low ground transportation costs so as to make your vehicle purchase cheaper and quick to deliver to the exit port.

PURCHASED A CAR
when you have successfully purchased a car, AuctionExport will send you a notification containing the purchase agreement/invoice which you will sign and scan back to them. They will also require you to download and fill out the vehicle release form and scan it back to them. You also need to upload your government identification (Intl passport page,national ID card or drivers license). Once this is done and your full payment of (vehicle cost,charges,ground and ocean transportation costs) the vehicle has been deducted, they will commence shipping. Time between purchase and receiving your car in Lagos is approximately 6-8 weeks depending on the location of your car in the US, availability of tow liners, congestion at US customs and shipping lines schedules.
AuctionExport uses Grimaldi lines mostly for autos due to the speedy delivery and clearance of cargo at their dedicated terminal at Tincan port. It is usually 5 days after arrival of vessel.
Once your vehicle is loaded on a container you will get the container number and once the bill of lading is uploaded on your profile, you can commence tracking of the vessel through fleetmon.com or marinetraffic.com

USEFUL TIPS
1: Always be sure before you click buy now as a buy now request cannot be cancelled and all sales are final. Cancellation of buy now attracts a penalty of $400 or 10% of buy now cost whichever is higher and all the charges and discounts towards the resale of the car will be billed to your account.
2: You can always cancel your pre-bid if the auction is not yet started by calling AuctionExport sales department but once auction starts it cannot be cancelled.
3: Do not submit multiple bids if you intend buying only one car, because if you do and eventually win both vehicles, you will end up buying both
4: Always bid reasonably.
5: Remember to send an email for payment confirmation with your wire transfer evidence to info@auctionexport.com to credit your account. It is important you state your AuctionExport dealer account number on the wire transfer document at the bank to enable ease of payment.
6: If you are using a third party domiciliary account to send them a wire transfer, please send them an email containing the photo identification cards of both of you and wire transfer evidence.
7: Never buy a car if don't have enough money as they will be charging you 0.125% of total vehicle cost until fully paid or they may even charge you a penalty and relist your car as a repossessed vehicle and block your account. They will only give you 4 working days to clear your outstanding balance.
8: If your vehicle is coming containerized,ensure you have the clearing cost ready to avoid penalty or your vehicle being listed on repossessed vehicle list
9: If your vehicle is non drivable never accept the shipping option of Towable RoRo designated for Apapa port as it will take longer time and higher cost to clear your vehicle plus towing van. Tincan island port is best for non drivable or containerized cars.

Please let me know if you need anything or any help in the purchase. You might want to check out these two units of 2001 Toyota Avalon xl I bought at November 2013 arriving today 3rd January 2014 on Grimaldi lines vessel Grande Gabon

A whole lot depends of the usage of the car. Body and engine conditions of both vehicles. All things being equal you better go for the 2006 Toyota Corolla.
It will have a greater second hand value over time,
The body parts are cheaper and stronger,
The vehicle is awesomely good

uchedydy: Cant tnk u enof for ur efforts and concerns, i have gone to see the car, the interior is ok,so is the exterior, agian is xle,full option,lether seat, i ddnt go with a mechanic tho,bt wd do that tomoro, the seller says its 1.9 last ,bt i told him mine is 1.8 last, bt pending wen the mechanic checks it, sure he will be willing for us to share the outstanding 100k ,i.e 50-50. That is 1.850. is the bargain okay, pkz tell me. Again the car has been registwrd, if i pay how do i do a change of ownership ,hw is dt done, i wud apprwciate some more infomation .

Please a lawyer cannot effect change of ownership of a car. I think you should go to Motor licensing office or Central Motor Registry to effect the changes in Names and address of owners. This will result in the issuance of a Change of Ownership document (Usually a GMR document), a corresponding mandatory renewal of Vehicle license, proof of ownership and insurance titles only. Every other vehicle documents remains valid once there is a binding purchase agreement between you and the previous owner as well as Authority to change ownership.

holythug: zipping up works perfectly well

So married people should zip up eeh? I wonder you have 82 likes for that comment. Your comment is most ideal for singles but that question is likely meant for married people who wants to prevent pregnancy after they must have had the desired number of offspring.

Yes of course. My phone only answers calls. My Galaxy Tab does all I need ranging from BBM,whatsapp, Skype, instagram,Facebook,twitter and nairaland. So without my phone I can stay conveniently
