In the process of over taxing importers Nigeria has made Benin republic ports the choice destination of goods and shipping companies in west Africa. Most of our business men prefer to import through Benin republic and smuggle into Nigeria, during which Nigeria loses revenues that should have accrued to her.

Nigerian government doesn't have business sense. Turn over matters in many businesses. Instead of charging 1m per car for hundred cars why not charge 500k for a thousand cars. If Nigerian lowers her import tariffs on cars and make it more competitive than Benin republic, Nigeria will make more money because most people will prefer to import through Nigerian ports.

So to avoid wasting your money just buy horse, be feeding the horse to increase the horsepower

UK used car values soar as demand grows in post-pandemic Britain
https://uk.motor1.com/news/522288/used-car-values-soar-uk/

By: James Fossdyke

UK second-hand car values are growing at record rates in 2021, according to data from online used car marketplace Auto Trader. Using the roughly 400,000 vehicles advertised on the site as a guide, the company estimates average prices were up 12.6 percent year-on-year during the week commencing July 12.

According to Auto Trader, that means prices have risen for 63 consecutive weeks, and price rises are accelerating. During the week commencing April 12, prices rose by what Auto Trader called “a comparatively conservative” 5.7 percent.

The company claims this is due to an increase in demand among consumers following the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. Auto Trader says it saw 14.7 million customers visit the site during the second full week of this month, up by almost a quarter (24 percent) compared with the same week in 2019, the summer before the pandemic arrived.

Why Used Car Prices Went Absolutely Insane Last Month

You thought the price of wood was nuts? Just check out what’s going on at car dealerships. After cooling off a bit from a surge last year, the cost of used vehicles suddenly shot up 10 percent in April alone, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ official inflation report on Wednesday. The sudden acceleration was the largest one-month increase in the category since the government began tracking the Consumer Price Index in 1953.

Because Nigeria don't want to be a dumping ground for used cars,cos we actually have indigenous manufacturers they want you to patronise.
Everywhere shouldn't be a shithole dumping ground because you car dealers wanna make some change!

I discussed same with someone yesterday. It is abnormal when Corolla 2003 is now more expensive than it was 4-5 years ago when it should cost less as it ages with year. Nigerians ought to have been moving to 09 Corolla by now just like the migration from pencil Camry to big daddy, but buharinomics in town has made 09 Corolla unaffordable for average Nigerians.

It’s in Nigeria you see a 2009 Toyota Corolla being sold at 2million naira which is about 70k in rands. 70k rands will buy you 2015 Toyota Corolla tokunbo here in SA. Government needs to do something about this please. Nigerians are really suffering honestly, this ain’t fair. We don’t really deserve this

Lexus 330 2005 tokunbo sold for 1.9million in the past, which past please


Lexus 330 2005 model tokunbo was never below 3million. And the current tokunbo price now is 4million to 4.7million while 2006 is between 4million to 5million.

Do you know that Lexus has RX and ES
