Tokunbo prices arent worth it . A tokunbo 2006 Lexus RX330 is about 12-13m, while a used 2014 goes for 15m, if you dig deep you can get it for 12-13m, why will you take the risk and buy a 2006 for 13m, it might look shiny on the exterior, but what about underneath?

Many of these old vehicles undergo detailing to enable them to be sold, these are cosmetic enhancements to hide defects like rust, accident and flood damage.

I rather invest in the newer models. A 1994 foriegn used jetta is going for 5 million, that same amount can get you a used 2012 passet or 2006 Camry. You will hardly get parts for the jetta especially if its a manual.

Buying a newer car is always better unless you want to repurpose the engines of the older models.

But toks 2009 RX 350 (same body with the 2006 RX 330) is also going for the same amount, na mumu go buy 06 vehicle.

Is it that most of you dont have siblings or cousins outisde the country?

This car cost $8400 in US, shipping cost is like $800 to $1000

Clearing in port is like N3M

Total cost shouldnt exceed N15M to land in Nigeria.

You save extra N5M.

Thanks for your analysis, but you forgot to add freight cost of at least $300 shipping cost is really around $1400 and the cost of reconditioning the car,

Bow it is possible to find for cheaper but we are trying to beat the M15 m mark for a 12 yrs old car(15yr salary)

Abeg Shey e worth am

Venza doesn't have resale value, and the car is not strong.

Buy Grade A foreign used 010 RX350 with that 20M instead

Venza should not be more than 16M foreign used, 9ja used should be around 12-14M.

he will get very good naija used for 9 to 10mill outside lagos.. just few repairs and he will be good...

Please i am not trying to question you, but to learn. How can the two go for the same price?
