Not really, people buy brand new cars here, you can find Nigerian used cars that were bought brand new by the first owner. Used cars market is not just as simple as Nigerian used is problematic and Tokunbo is not, I could tell stories of people who got lucky with Nigerian used cars and unfortunate with foreign used cars, and the other way round, what's up there in my post is in summary telling people not to lose guard because the vehicle is Tokunbo, do the same thorough inspection you would do if it was a Nigerian used!
Don't tell me what I know. How many car stands in Nigeria can you get brand new cars? Governments in Nigeria are the major patronisers of brand new cars.

Contact me if you are interested in buying Acura MDX 2011, I used the car when I came back Nigeria last year and since then, is been parked at my house, with maintenance services.

Am selling cos am not even sure of coming to Nigeria this year, so no need to park.

Price is very ok and car is of course in precinct condition, I bought it myself directly in USA.

Unfortunately the car is only available for anyone in the East, especially Aba or Owerri because I can not get to ask someone to take it to Lag or anywhere else since I don't have anyone to trust with it. Except the buyer is ready to travel go check it out.

Contact me for further enquiries and details.

PS: this is not a distress sale o, am even discouraged to sell it sef, but if offer is good, y not.
I am interested, I need your contact information

I step out of Lagos searching for a reliable camry 2004. I saw many dealers on Jiji and nairaland. I visited each of them with my reliable mechanic.
After checking several cars, we discovered that none of the Nigerian used cars is worth buying .
They always have one problem or the other. The most common is bad engines.

Many dealers even promised to give my mechanic 100k behind my back to convince me to buy this melon car.

It's crazy that with 4.5 million, all you can get is a bad car.
We return home disappointed.

On getting home. I went back to check my own car that I have been driving for 5 years. My engine, gear, and ac are still in perfect condition and I wonder if those putting their car on sale are those with major problem.

Nigeria dealers have ruined the used car market.
Is this a problem with toyota or because the car is a lower year.

I didn't consider other brands. Maybe it would have been a different situation.

At the moment, we are considering buying Tokunbo direct or on installment payment in order to evade this madness in the Nigerian used car Market
It's just terrible. I wasted time and inspection fee on 2 scrap cars, I just decided to hold on and add a little bit money. It's just ridiculous that owner will keep car for 6m for 2009 mdx, dealer will say 10m, extra 4m. That was the only reasonable car I saw but I left it after finding out the evil dealer did.

95% of people selling their cars is because it's faulty. They've repaired and repaired and are tired of repairing it so they'll just put it up for sale.

That's why I tell people to avoid Nigerian used cars cos na problem you de buy. They money you'll spend in fixing it would exceed the amount you spent in buying it.

Go to apapa those cars coming in from the ship, negotiate with a dealer, pay and carry your car home. You'll use it for up to 2 years before it starts giving you any major issue.
explain how this works. This apapa stuff, because I need a car soon
