EgunMogaji2:
I picked it up on Wednesday. It took about a week because one asshole had contraband drugs in some barrels in the container.

They did a fair amount of damage to the truck when unloading sha. Some people are really wicked souls.

Thank you.

Sorry about the bolded. Usually happens if you're not onground to monitor and tip them for careful unloading.

EgunMogaji2:
You appear to be correct on your estimate Sir

Has the vehicle been cleared? How long did the clearing take from the date you got the valuation.

Lipz20:
I have 2 very neat ones, grey and silver. They are both non accidented,message me on WhatsApp 0903 026 9205 for their pictures

Or you can just drop their VIN numbers here

eightsin:
Maybe my write up is ambiguous... The 4M is my cost price which I have paid already. By finishing up the clearance, I mean paying the balance which has been requested to bring out the car from the port..it also include fixing. This brings total amount buyer will spend for the ride to total of 5.2M

It's a good deal. You should edit your first post accordingly.

Felicity001:
I was lucky to get a 2002 red top C180 toks standard (owner bought and used for just few months without registering the car) for just about 1.2m last month for a client...

Got a Volvo 2003 S60 toks for another client last week for just 1.1m car came in 2021...

All by God grace...

I just went through that article posted by itsrm now and it got me really worried because how many Nigerians can actually afford vehicles from 2013 upwards especially in terms of maintenance?

Those into ehailing business what will be their fate?

Yes, better if you buy here. You may be lucky to get an old stock or someone just selling off for one reason or the other.

There will be many more threads like this

Felicity001:
Wow! Sorry about your ordeal bro... Can you advise or give idea how much it will cost to land a 2002 C200 kompressor because I'm looking at shipping in one from.germany direct! Don't wanna be caught in the middle



Are you serious??



baba move! No time

Abort mission. Your landing cost plus clearing will be very close to 5m or more.

dplordx:
It’s like all the dealers in nairaland are yahoo boys. The way you put high prices on even damaged vehicles, make I zoom go jiji.

The ones on jiji are not accidented?

eteebanky1:
You want to play a fast one

This is obviously an accidental car, who will repair this

Do you have any that is not accidented?

OfficialDJ:
Hubcruz's prices are outrageous, but his cars are spotless.

Did business with him, and it's been a smooth move so far.

Outrightly expensive? Yes.
Worth it? Yes.

There are other spotless cars or near spotless cars without outrageous prices. That's why he struggles to sell pretty much every vehicle he advertises.

SeaTrade:
I think this new move by NCS is to purge this country of very old cars.
The only part I don't support is them not pre-informing importers like 3-4months ahead of the new directive.Sad.

They pretty much admitted to it in the link below. They even said vehicles below 2013 were supposed to be seized and confiscated. It is out of empathy they are even allowing us clear 2003 vehicles with 2.2m

That's what happens when you close your mind to any new information. You choose not to absorb better information and harden your opinion.

You would have seen it too and you will later. I understand why you're not seeing it now

donjazet:
You cannot listen to Peter Obi for 5 minutes and not fall in love with the man. If there is one thing the man knows, it's consistency in messaging.

Nigerians would miss a very huge opportunity if they do not go and thumbprint for labor party come February.

It's unfortunate that some parts of our Yoruba brethren are not looking beyond tribalism. It's unfortunate that some of our Yoruba brethren believe that politics is tribal and you have to vote within your tribe. Please my dear brothers, that's an archaic way of thinking.

Tinubu is old and sick! This man is constantly on pharmaceuticals! We cannot afford another old and sick president. From yaradua to Buhari to Tinubu, say Dem swear for us??

Please vote right! Vote Peter Obi. Let us make a statement through Peter Obi. Let us usher in a new era of doing things in Nigerian politics.

I have and all I see is a man who is sanctimonious, cunning, and a liar.

Valtteri:
Good evening all.

Which is better to get, a Ford Edge (2011 - 2013) or an Infiniti FX35 (2010 - 2012)?

Please give reasons in terms of fuel economy, availability of parts, power, durability, resale value, etc?

Thank you in advance.

P.S No recommendations for Totoya/Honda abeg.

I'll go with the Infiniti. Nothing against the Edge though.

pete3000:

Has he paid you

chukel:
I know someone who abandoned a 2004 c240 for them in the wharf. 2.2m to clear it. Man just left the car and moved on.

It's a terrible situation to be in.

If the vehicle was for sale and he had cleared it, na to begin type available, available like hubcruz till 2027.

Who will use 5m to buy a 2004 c240 when you can add 1m and buy a 2012 C300/350.

airmark:
You are just proving me right that CKay is just a hit wonder, with Love Nwantiti.

You said CKay topped Charts I told you it's Love Nwantiti that toped Charts and not CKay. Vibration was on Apple music chart for 3 months, same as other hits by Fireboy in the past. Peru drowned CKay in the US and Nwantiti is no more charting Afrobeat Billboard chart. In fact Fireboy holds the record as Peru is the longest topping Afrobeat music on no. 1.

CKay's latest song ft Davido is already DOA as it's not topping any chart. Fireboy, Rema, Omahlay will beat him 10 hits v 10 hits.

I overheard a song a couple of days back on radio and I've not been able to track the song nor the musician.

Unfortunately the only line I remember was something like he hardly gets credit alerts but numerous debit alerts.

Do you by any chance know the song?

sooperrescue:
The oil change interval is 6 months and twice a year. To save your money for fuel and protect the air flow sensor or barometric sensor, make sure the air cleaner is clean. We don't give fulcanizer? to blow it, we change it. Our diagnostics is free because we also need to reset the service required.

What if I only drive 3000 miles in 6 months. You change it regardless?

HeavenlyBang:
Fair enough.

Fair?

Why change air filters everytime a vehicle is due for service. Is that like the norm with range rovers?

drisham:
Solar equipment
I invested just 4k and I earn and withdraw
I say make.i ask guys here if anyone has heard about
Make e no be Ponzi in disguise

From what you just shared, the one of 4k with 52 naira in one day is over 400% ROI per annum .

Where is he getting the money he's paying you? Why borrow money at 400% return when banks will borrow him at 20-25% pa.

Even if the 24 naira is the daily return, its still over a hundred percent pa

It is definitely ponzi, withdraw your money while you can except its something you can afford to lose.

drisham:
Please who knows about passive income is it legit

I bought an equipment with one company and I earn every hour I withdraw but I don't know how legit it is let it not he another ponzi

Ask yourself this question. Is the ROI greater than the interest he would have been paying had he borrowed the money from the bank. If yes, it's ponzi.

If no, is the ROI greater than industry standard? If yes, where is he putting the money to get the ROI.

If the answer is no then why bother. Why not just do MFs, Bonds or Tbills and sleep with both eyes closed

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Another angle.

But then, one can't be sure considering how his Holiness has been submitting A4 sheets here and there[/color]

Just like you, except something significant happens, I've ruled us out of the league. I just need us to finish above Manu and I'm okay.

We may do well in Cup competitions though. Maybe clinch one or two of them

izzou:


[color=royalblue]E never agree price for Sterling, e don add Zinchenko

Holy Boehly [/color]

Don't bother about most of those rumours.

Sometimes I think the agents of those players manufacture these transfer tales and send them to the press hoping to attract the attention of someone in the club.

Where's that Sir? l'm looking to start town service on a low budget...

lymelyte:
was in your shoes 3 years ago. Let Jah be praised..mine was same Lexus es 330. That car na paper abeg

Mumu. You survived because the car na paper. The car took the impact that would have been transferred to you

Haters and ne'er-do-wells will tell you Wike is only building flyovers

Wasky101:
My bro, no be small thing, I know someone that has 2nos of e350 07/8 at the port, he is looking for 4.8m to clear them. Lessons learnt

He is even lucky because the E350 is in customs database and he should be able to clear both with about 4.4m. Yours would have been cheaper but I'm sure you had the same issue as I had.

Your vehicle is not in their database and you were at the mercy of rogue customs officers who just slammed anything they wanted on you as surface duty.

Thank God you were able to raise money.

They will end up sharing a lot vehicles to their cronies when the owners abandon them at the port.

SeaTrade:
You clear 07 C230 at 2.3m?
What kind of business decision is that?
Why import it in the first place?
You could have gone for newer models cos no one in their right senses will pay 5m for an 08 C300,let alone 07 C230.
Wasn't a very smart decision if you ask me.

A lot of people were ambushed by customs and I also fell victim. The vehicles were on the sea when they came up with the e VIN nonsense. You either pay to clear it or leave it there to keep accumulating demurrage.

Going forward, no one in their right senses will buy a 2007 vehicle. Just save up to get a 2013. They all cost the same to clear

jamesversion:
Ok, clear it with 3M


It takes it to N9.8M

Bro, N31M is daylight robbery.

Middlemen should stop bastardizing this business.

Absolutely. The clean title of the car ranges from 20k to 25k dollars. If we assume that's what he bought, selling price should still be less than 20m. 31m naira is just ridiculous.

Not surprised though, this particular OP is not new to this.

He has vehicles from 2019 and 2020 that he's yet to sell. His modus operandi is slam a hefty price tag on his cars and hope that sometime in the future, he's able to sell it.

Time value of money is not in his dictionary.

jamesversion:
Take aook at the pix. The seller has put the car for sale at $9,100 (which is still open to bidding).

$9100 + $2100(shipping cost)= $11,200

11,200× 610(exchange rate) = N6,893,000

Then max to clear the car from Port is N1M

Total cost is N7,893,000

Now they intend to sell for N31M

Imagine such greed!!!

There's no way on earth you clear this with 1m.

The vehicle in that picture you posted most likely has a major issue. You can't use that price as reference

However you do have a point. The price is ridiculous

donstan18:
Use the truth to counter any of my “untrue” statement.

I am not debating your "truth" na. I just want to know if that was the only AFCON we had throughout Mikels NT career.
