how much will it cost to get acura mdx 2006. am in Lagos in Nigeria

Here is an estimate for a clean title Acura MDX 2006 (in US Dollars) delivered to Lagos Port.
Car Price $4000
Trucking $300
Shipping $850
Service Fee $300
Total $5,450

Converted to Naira at parallel market rate (1USD=N360)= N1,962,000
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Thanks

MrRitchie:
It's quite expensive compared to the former company I normally use, but thanks anyway

Please note that this estimate is for a clean title, low mileage vehicle. If you would be willing to consider something with higher mileage or salvage title vehicles, we can get one for you for significantly cheaper. Also, the quote up to and including delivery to port is around N1.3 million. Import duty and destination charges estimates are only included for your benefit. Thanks

A very good job by this poster.

Thanks a million times for giving out such an invaluable piece free of any charge unlike some thieves always talking about crappy e-books with less quality info.

These are the kind of posts that should dominate front page not always about tonto dickey or some fraudsters scamming some gullible illiterates in the name of one castle built in the air.

Thanks for the kind words. We want to make sure our clients are fully informed about the car import process including all the risks and benefits involved.

The Nigerian Car Market

Nigeria is one of the largest markets for used car imports from the United States. These include both clean and salvage title vehicles. Toyota and Lexus are the most popular makes for import. For Toyota, the Camry, Corolla, Avalon, 4Runner and Sequoia models are popular while for Lexus the RX and ES models are the most popular. In addition a variety of other makes and models are imported including Japanese and European manufacturers such as Honda, Mercedes, and Land Rover etc.

Imported vehicles are referred to as Tokunbo which means ‘from overseas’. Cars are also imported via land borders, for example, from Cotonou, Benin. Vehicles that are imported via sea shipping arrive at the Tin Can Island Port (TCIP) or the Lagos Port Complex. Nigeria does not have any domestic car production so it relies on imports to meet local requirements.

Purchasing from the United States

Vehicles imported from the United States to Nigeria typically come from car auctions in the United States. Salvage vehicles are purchased from Auctions such as IAAI (Insurance Auction) and Copart. Clean title vehicles are purchased from auction such as Manheim, ADESA and smaller regional and local auctions. Cars can also be purchased from used car dealers, however these dealers are hesitant to deal directly with overseas buyers. Finally, a car may be purchased from an individual seller. While this may offer the best price, it is difficult to verify the identity of the seller and complete a deal safely.

Export Logistics

Once the car has been purchased it must be transported to the closest warehouse or shipping port. The cost of transport depends on the size of the vehicle, its location and the number of miles it must be moved. For container shipping, the vehicle is normally taken to the freight forwarder’s warehouse, where it is loaded into a container. Different size containers are available. Cars are typically shipped in a 20ft, 40ft or 45ft container. Container shipping is the most economical way to ship cars when there are multiple vehicles. Vehicles can also be driven onto the ship and held in place by a harness. This is referred to as Roll on Roll off or RoRo. To ship RoRo, a car must be in good working condition. The car title must also be available as it is used to receive export clearance from US Customs. Depending on the US port where the car is shipped out from, the transit time is anywhere between 20 to 30 days.

Once the Car Arrives at the Port

You should hire a customs clearance agent in advance and provide them all the necessary documents so that they can move quickly when the car arrives at the port. From the United States, the car buyer needs the vehicle Invoice/Bill of Sale and the shipper’s Bill of Lading. Additionally, to save money on sending physical documents from overseas, a telex release can be used. This releases the vehicle to the consignee in Nigeria and does not require physical original Bill of Lading to be presented. The import duty is 35% of the cars FOB value as assessed by Nigerian customs. You will also incur other costs such as terminal charges and custom agent’s fee.

Benefits of Importing

There are many benefits of importing a car instead of buying one locally. The biggest benefit is the difference in price. Importers charge thousands of dollars in markup to buyers. When a buyer can purchase and import from overseas directly themselves, they can save this amount. This would allow them to purchase their dream car for less or to sell the car locally and make a handsome profit.

The second benefit is that by importing a vehicle themselves, the buyer knows exactly what they are getting in terms of the vehicle condition. When buying from local dealers, it is difficult to accurately assess the condition of the vehicle. By buying through FliWheel.co, you can purchase the full Carfax and/or Autocheck report for the vehicle, showing the entire history, including number of previous owners, mileage, any accidents that may have occurred, maintenance history, type of title (clean, salvage etc.) and any other red flags. Buyers also have the option of ordering a detailed vehicle inspection. This involves our inspection company representative physically inspection the vehicle and providing a detailed 150 point inspection report covering the interior, exterior, drive and mechanical components.

Lalasticlala please delete this thread to keep the NL safe from scammers

Please don't make these statements without knowing the truth. You can check out our website [url]FliWheel.co[/url]. Does it look like a scam to you? We have over 500K cars listed for sale by US dealers. We have clients in Nigeria who are very happy with our services. We can give you referrals if you would like. I know it's difficult to believe that you can get a car imported so cheaply. It's because current importers are charging huge margins to local buyers. If you cut out the middlemen and go directly to the US dealer through our website, then these savings can be achieved.

If you live in any of these countries, you can make money by importing cars from the United States: United Arab Emirates, Cambodia, China, Nigeria, Liberia, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar and many more.
In 2015, $1.5 billion worth of cars were exported from the United States to the top car 10 car importing countries and in the first half of 2015 $750 million worth of cars have been exported to the same countries. Most of these exports are done by dealers and their representatives who charge high markups when selling to their local customers. In this post we will explain how it works so that you can do it too.

Which cars to Buy
This depends on demand in your local market. Do some research to find out what cars sell and for how much. Certain makes and models are more popular in certain countries. For example Toyota and Lexus are the most popular makes for import in the United Arab Emirates and white is the most popular color.

Search
Search across cars listed on multiple car listing websites. On FliWheel.co you can do this easily under our Brokerage section as it gives results from the top car listing websites in the United States all in one location.

Inspect
You should get cars inspected before you buy them because the condition of cars available for sale vary and you can not trust the seller to give you an accurate description of the condition. At FliWheel.co you can get a car inspected and see the results before you decide to buy it.

Purchase
The purchase process in the United States involves negotiating with the seller, agreeing on a price, filling out the required paperwork and sending the payment. At FliWheel.co we handle this entire process for you. We verify the identity of the seller so that you are not exposed to any risk and handle the payment in a safe and transparent way.

Transport
Before a car can be shipped abroad, it needs to be transported to the closest shipping terminal by road. This involves hiring a transporter to pick up and deliver the vehicle. At FliWheel.co, we work directly with insured transporters to get vehicles tranported cheaply, quickly and safely.

Shipping
Once the car has been delivered to the terminal, it can be shipped abroad. The car must be cleared for export by providing necessary paperwork including original title. Individual vehicles can be shipped using the Roll on Roll of method while multiple vehicles can be shipping in container of various sizes. It also helps to get marine insurance so that you are protected against damage or loss of cargo during shipping. At FliWheel.co we handle both shipping and marine insurance

Custom Clearance
Once the Vehicle arrives at the Destination port, a local custom clearance agent can be hired to clear the vehicle through custom and pay import duties

Repairs
Most used vehicles in the United may have some degree of wear and tear that must be repaired. Getting a vehicle inspected before buying it helps you predict the extent of the repairs required and how much it will cost you.

Sale
Once you have the vehicle in good condition you can sell it or keep it for personal use. Dealers charge several thousand dollars on top of their costs. By using FliWheel.co, you can save this costs and end up making a profit by reselling the vehicle. Also at FliWheel.co, you will know how much the vehicle will cost you delivered to the destination port, so you can find out the total cost of the vehicle by adding custom clearance, import duties and repair costs to that amount.

Do you ever wonder where those salvage and rebuilt cars come from? Do you wonder how you can buy one for cheap? Most of these cars that pop up come from insurance companies and are sold through the two main salvage auction houses, Copart and Insurance Auto Auctions. I am a member of both and have purchased around 40 vehicles from them combined in the last few years. Who wouldn't want a project car like this?

Get Registered

The first time you load up the pages for these auctions you may get giddy from seeing all of the cool cars that are out there that can be had for cheap but you have to do your research as you can get burned easily. In order to start bidding on vehicles at these auctions you will need to pay a registration fee of around $200 for both auction houses. At IAAI that gives you full bidding power. At Copart you will need to either pay a $400 deposit to unlock full bidding power or deposit 10% of the highest amount you want to bid to. Once you are registered as a public buyer you will be able to bid on vehicles but you have to watch carefully as to what you qualify for. Public buyers are only allowed to bid on vehicles marked public and these include salvage titled vehicles coming from insurance companies, repossessions, and clear titled vehicles from dealers that have been inspected. In most cases, clear titled vehicles coming from insurance companies and banks are dealer only.

Weed Out The Bad Apples

Once you start looking at vehicles there are a few you want to exclude right away if you plan to rebuild. Flood and fire drop off quickly as they are usually more trouble than it worth to buy the vehicle and repair it. Vehicles marked as frame damage and bio hazard are out for obvious reasons. Lastly, you do not want to buy a clear title vehicle that is coming from a dealer. Usually these vehicles have some underlying issues and the dealer has decided to dump it at the auction instead of selling it on their lot.

Calculate Your Max Spend

Once you have searched and come up with the vehicle you wish to buy, you should look at comparable vehicles on the regular market. My rule of thumb is to take 60% of the average value of a clear one and use that as the max cost. We will use my Cadillac STS as an example. At the time I was looking at it, I came up with an average price of $10500 so my max salvage value was $6300. Once you have your max price, you should take a look at what parts are needed to repair the car. In my case I estimated repair costs at $2500. Once I take the $2500 our of the $6300 value, I have $3800 to bid on it.

You can bid on the vehicles online or in person and if bidding in person you can usually get a $50 reduction in fees but it may not always be possible so I recommend at least going to the auction a few days before and checking the car out or if you are not able to go and are planning to bid online then you may look for a local inspector to go take a look at it before bidding. Now that you are ready to bid there are few more factors to consider. The first is transportation and in my case I usually account for $1.25 per mile to transport a vehicle. In the case of the Cadillac, it was 260 miles away so I accounted for $325 for transport fees. Taking that out of our $3800 we are down to $3475 to bid on the vehicle. Since I was bidding online, there was a $50 fee so we are down to $3425. That amount will need to split further as there are pull our fees and final value fees on the sale. These fees usually add up to $100 + around 10% of the final bid so we take another $100 out and we are down to $3325 and to calculate the rest I divide $3325 by 1.1 to get $3022.

Buy Your Vehicle

Now that we know that we are not going to bid higher than $3022 we can prepare for the auction. You can usually do a pre-bid for your highest amount but I recommend bidding live if possible as it usually will keep the price lower coming up to the auction. You should install the auction client beforehand and test and get ready to bid. Once you bid, you will be notified if you won the vehicle and of your final cost. In the case of the Cadillac my winning bid was $2700 and it ended up being $3119 after all of the fees. You can pay for the vehicle using a wire transfer or cashiers check. Once the vehicle is paid for, you need to either go pick it up or arrange for transport. If the vehicle is to be picked up by a third party, you will need to fill out the Power of Attorney for transport from the auction and let them know whether you want them to give the title to the driver picking up or mail it to you.

Get The Vehicle Inspected
Once the transport is paid for and the vehicle is delivered you will need to do a detailed inspection of all the parts you will need and start searching. You will also need to contact your local DMV for an inspection before beginning repairs. In NC, They fill out a document of what needs to be replaced and then require a call back once it is completed to verify that none of the parts are stolen and that and exhaust system is on the vehicle. Steve Lehto wrote a great article on this process. Seeing the small amount of time that is focused on these inspections, the only way I ever buy rebuilt vehicles is if I rebuild them myself.

Get It Fixed And Running
Now you can dig in and start repairing your car. Once it is repaired you will call them DMV inspector back and get the final inspection. You will need to register your vehicle at this time and get insurance for it. A note of caution is that many insurance companies will only allow liability insurance for rebuilt vehicles. So how did I fare on my Cadillac? You can check out more about it here but in the end my total cost was $5700 which was well below my max cost of $6300 but you do have to be careful as you can lose many at times too and out of the 40 vehicles I have bought, 2 went right back to the auction as they had too many issues, 2 were sold at a loss and 3 were parted out. I kept a couple as projects, one as a beater truck, and one as daily. The rest were resold for a profit.
