Gosh, these prices are pretty expensive. am looking to see if i could share a 40 ft container with someone else.
am shipping a 2006 Nissan pathfinder.
if i can get a quote for $1800, i would take it but am getting much higher quotes so far.
Any of u in the states??
Thanks

Yes. I am actually in california. Can find a way to help u share a container.  I will get back very soon with some numbers.

[size=14pt]Update:[/size]

I have just came up with the numbers. Here are they below:

Transportation:         $300

Shipping:                   $1800

Service Fees:             $200

Total:                        $2300

Sharing a container is cheaper and safer. However the drawback to sharing a container is that you have to wait for 2 or 3 more people to share with. Also, the clearing is a little bit more expensive and takes a little more time in Lagos cos of inspection, container handling, container deposit etc.

The port might also be having problems with space sometimes that might make the unloading be delayed for days (sometimes weeks in peak period). It takes about 6 weeks for the container to get to Lagos.

There are definitely good and bad sides to container shipping.

If you don't mind, you can email me the specs on the Pathfinder and your cost. I might be able to see how to beat the price and ship to you in Lagos at a very competitive fair price

If you have any questions, let me know. My email is: promise72@yahoo.com

[size=14pt]Update:[/size]

I don't have the exact figures with me yesterday, that is why i can't give it out.

Below is a breakdown of how much it will cost you to get a car from San Francisco Bay Area, California to Lagos, Nigeria via RORO shipping.

You should receive the car about 4 weeks after it leaves the US

Inland Transportation to port:                                      $1100

Ocean Freight to Naija:                                                  $1300   

Service Charge:                                                          $200
                                                                         ------------
Total                                                                       $2600   

This will be the total cost to get the vehicle to Naija. You will be responsible for clearing. Please be aware that this cost is for standard size vehicles. Oversize vehicles (Like Nissan Armada) will be slightly higher.

Let me know if you have any questions.

My email is: promise72@yahoo.com

You are true to your name. A NOVICE indeed. Post pics. People don't have time to be emailing you back and forth.

Good luck.

jaxxy:
thank u sir

U're welcome.

jaxxy:
i really dont know wat ure talking about but u cudnt be more wrong on your speculations on this car which u know nothing about. this is a used car and not tokunbo so even if it was invoved in an accident and fixed which it wasnt wat is the problem wit dat. if a car has any issues i let any prospective buyer be aware of it. pls be careful wit your statement. thanks

I am pretty sure that you know what i am talking about. I am still very much repeating my claim that this vehicle has been in a terrible accident and you know it!. You can pretend all day long. You know the truth.

Binumar:
Has this car been re-painted?

jaxxy:
nah, as u can see d interior matches exterior.

@ Jaxxy,

I hate to be the bad guy here but this car has been in a very considerable/serious accident. And you know it. I am almost certain that the airbag has been replaced. And replaced not with an original Toyota one.

I don't really know you nor i have anything against you but the least you can do is be honest. I am calling you out that you have not been so far. For the fact that the interior matches the exterior doesn't mean its not been repainted.

If you think i an wrong, i hope you speak up. I can point out more for you.

Good luck in your sale. 

get whatever your money can afford. if you are getting a new one, get it from original MONROE dealer. They shouldn't be hard to find.

4 years is good enough from what you got out of the shocks considering naija roads.

Good luck.

You can read all about what you need to know from this link. Even though it seems an OK vehicle. Spare parts is something you need to think about also

Just ran a CARFAX on this vehicle. It shows that it was involved in an accident in 2005. There was no airbag deployment and the vehicle was not salvaged.

Has been fixed and driven another 40,000+ miles since then in over four year period. Can definitely find something else if you are not comfortable with this one.

philip7:
can someone in the house please tell me how much is a toyota landcruiser 1994 leatherseats and fully loaded

[size=14pt]@ Philip7,

I was unable to find a 1994, however i am offering you this 1996 Landcruiser. This is a very clean Jeep. Well pampered and always garaged vehicle. As you can see in the pics (which speaks for itself) It is absolutely stunning for a 1996.

Mature owners. No snow (Its a Southern California Jeep). No rust. No surprises.Leather is in great condition and the Woodgrain is still very good.

If you ask me, this is what you should be looking for. Lots of life left to tackle all the hills and valleys in Naija.

As you are aware, the vehicle can only go to Cotonou.[/size]

If you clear yourself: [size=14pt]N1.8m[/size]

If i clear and deliver to Lagos : [size=14pt]N2m[/size]

And Yes, That is the last price.

My contact is still the same: promise72@yahoo.com

Osogbo is not expensive at all. I dont know what it is with me and the town honestly, am not from there, my mum is but i prefer going there to my state in ogun. Very serene. Ask people in Nigeria, i have been monitoring but there has not been a single case of kidnap there.

Accommodation there is also relatively cheap, though i heard is now going up but i think the town is a good place for investment anytime any day. whatever quote for house or land you got in lagos, just divide it into 2 for the one in osogbo. The Nepa distribution station is there so the kainji story is true, when there is black out in osogbo trust me there is black out in most states of the nation.

Thanks. Good to know. I went to poly in ibadan but never been to osogbo. Osogbo is looking more and more appealing to me now. Grew up in ijebu ode. Where are u from in ogun state?

Hi Kunle, I really don't understand what you mean by the statement^^^^^^^

That means you will be wasting your $$$$. I saw one of those Geely thing in Ghana last year, i don't think they will hold up in the long run.

Be smart with your hard earned money.
