@ Arnold 1,

Those houses in Lekki, do u by any chance have info on them? Location? Rental/Sale Prices? etc. The look very nice. Just dont like the fact that they are all cream color tho.

its 10yr/newer. you can still go as old as 1999. i am not a clearing agent but can recommend u to someone a very reputable seller on this forum uses. I am guessing the car should fall around 250-300k max.

its just my guess.

whats the description and info on the first pic/design?

im still waiting for anyone who got the pics to post it. No one yet!

Amazing!

depends on the car. can range from 250k to almost 1mill depending on the year. If its a car or jeep etc

What type of car you have in mind?

familierl:

no matter the feature its got, that price is not worth a 93 car in 2009,lets help ourselves too.

Fhemmmy:

Viperman, i have always love your prices, but 750K for a 1992 Accord, you scare me oh.

Rogbese:

This is a 17 year old Honda LX that has done 170k (check pix), with cloth trim and no alloys. 750k is throwing the ball WAY out of the ballpark.

As a potential buyer, i will advise anyone to check out a car physically before deciding what the car is worth. Its pointless to say a car of a certain year only worth so much.

I happened to be checking out Honda Allah yesterday and it will be a good deal for any clean and full options Allah to be less than 1 million 

Dont let me scare you. The same vehicles about 9months to 1year ago is about 650-800k depending on the features. Considering that $ xchange then for N120. Now its about N200. Thats well over 50% increase!

With same breath, the range on Halla should be between 900k-1.2m (from 1year ago prices). Take away depreciation on the car etc. Getting a halla under 1 million is a bargain. IF IT A CLEAN AND GOOD RUNNING ONE! CHECK FOR YOURSELF!

I know i am not saying what everyone wanna hear but the fact remains the fact. I am no fan of the seller at all. Not even by a stretch of imagination, but i have to call it like i see it.

Shipping a Halla from US will be about $1200 (give or take). With about N200/$1. That's about N240,000. Clear for anywhere between N130k-N150K. That about N370K.

Factor in the cost of  buying the car, Sometimes minor repairs [its a '93 after all  ] Other logistic Costs (moving to port from buying location, necessary shipping documents etc), then your profit 

I hope you get the story.

The truth is that older/low end vehicles are not leaving enough room for profit especially with the current rate, however, they are fast sellers! Not everyone has N2m to put on a car. And i understand how hard it is to save even N100,000 talkless of car money.However, the reality is still there.

Lets pray that the currency appreciates and all these wont matter. Hope u understand where i am coming from.  Here i rest. 

With the rampant, indiscriminate and unpredictable ways that vehicles already in Nigeria can be stopped and siezed by customs (Kinda Scary )

I want to know if there's a way that vehicles from Cotonou (Lets say 1997/1998) can avoid not getting seized when its already on Nigeria soil?

From my understanding, its not uncommon to have vehicles that are already in use (in Nigeria) for 3-5years to have customs require proof of Customs papers otherwise it get seized.

Any way to avoid this or you just have to play ur luck?

1994 toyota camry(orobo)for sale.GREY

Chief_D:

Greetings to you all. My apologies to all who are not in lagos. For pictures you can go to google and check for gs300 pictures. The car is that clean. BUT if you have cash and need the car, call me on 4035886 08034615894 for directions to my place to see and test. Some folks are on it.

Imagine that! Google gs300 pics!. The issue is not whether we have seen GS300 before but see what u have for sale!.

Folks quit wasting ur time on this car here. Cant even post one picture? Everybody asking. I am sure if the car exist or its very clean as speculated it would be gone by now!

its been few weeks now.

you gave too little info. is it a caburator or fuel injector? To calcualte the amt of fuel consumption, pls do a little assignment. Next time u fill up the tank (make sure its almost empty).

Record ur current miles on the car. Drive the car for about half way or 3/4 down the fuel tank. and refill.

Take the difference between the new miles on the car and divide by the amt of litres u just put in the car. That will give u approximate amt of kilometers u get for a litre. It will be more accurate to judge how much more ur car is wasting.

Meanwhile, since u just got the car, do a full service (new genuine NGK plugs, rotor, distributor cap) let a good mechanic adjust the timing, and change the air cleaner. DO NOT MANAGE ANYTHING!. You will end up spending more on petrol if ur car is running bad. Better make the engine run right and save urself. spend $$$$ on maintenance and service. its much cheaper.

And year brand new oil and good filter too

Good luck

190:

wot kind of info are u tryin 2 pass across

Baba 190, the Yaris Encyclopeadia. Let him know.

You've got it at ur fingertips

Igwe.:

May una dey check date naa!

dkonxeptz:

Hi Ay,
     
Pls wts the pric of these cars frm cotonou to lagos (custom cleared)?

1) 2002 Toyota Rav 4 (full option) v6 if available

2) 2003 Toyota Rav 4 (full option) v6 if available

3) 2002 Nissan Altima (full option) v6.

4) 2002 Toyota Camry (full option) v6

I'm a fan of v6 engines

Thanks

platinumnk:

Hi i dont have an answer to your question, but why would u want a V6 engine especially in Nigeria. A V6 burns up way more gas than a regular one, and you know there is a fuel scarcity in Nigeria now. Even if you have money to waste, a V6 is a waste because you only should get it when you're looking to race or to speed, I doubt you're going to be using it other than leisure activties and regular transportation.

Think about it.
My .02$

Theres absolutely nothing wrong with a V6 Engine. Yes it takes a little bit more petrol but its more power for you. Its comes in handy when u are in hilly road or when the car is loaded with people or goods.

The petrol difference in a RAV4 for a 4 cylinder and a V6 is very little.

Theres no V6 available for 2002/03 RAV4. The V6 doesnt come until '06 when the new body style began.

Good luck. Live your life and get when your heart desires.

[color=#000099][/color]Huhhhhh! This car is in Surulere? NL I beg U all to be careful and prayerful about this transaction. It could just be one of those transaction I fell into in the hand of this same person sometimes in Jan 2008 (a year and 4months now) and U may be lucky that it wont take that shape but be a clean one.

The transaction took over a Million naira from me and the said car has been sold by the same person more than about a year ago and he's still holding on to my money till this very minute.

I wonder what on earth will make a person created by God to choose the name Viperman, forum name or not. The name should have been a signal to me what sort of person I was going to have a dealing with but I never give thought of how one's name could spell out one's life (like Jabez in the bible). I wonder why a man will choose for himself such a terrible name if he's not indeed very terrible.

As for you Alex, Alex I fear for you, for your life and for your future. Alex things may seems beautiful, very beautiful for you now but remember my sweat, my hard earn sweat with you will hunt you down sooner or later. Just enjoy your loothe with that your criminal brother or partner Chibuzor in surulere while you have the time.

A man who is a viper must obviously have a poisonous conscience, so i know you don't haave any conscience but you will be judged anyway (conscience or no conscience )

Siple prayer: if you guys were right concerning the transaction, may the car business you are doing prospered you and if you guys were wrong, may the same car business you are doing and feeling big leads to your unrecoverable downfall in life and may such prosperity or downfall as the case will be,be passed on to your generation even upto your fourth generation (as the bible says). Check your mind and simply say AMEN

NL, very sorry for disturbing this thread. This is my first time of posting in my about two years of visiting nairaland but this guy is simply not sincere, dubious and extremely greedy. Everlasting destruction ends their type.

do you want a naija used or tokunbo

Tokunbo for 500k? Get real.

xparm:

I intend acquiring a FORD ESCAPE, I was advised not try it as I may not be able to cope with the stress associated with maintaining a FORD in Nigeria. But I do see quite a number of people driving FORDs especially here in PH where I live.

So folks, whats your take on this? If  you drive a FORD, what has been your experience? How easy is it to maintain a FORD in Nigeria?

For my $$$, the question i will be asking is very simple" "Do i wanna be calling RT Briscoe everytime im in need of something" ? Or get a car that i can locally find the parts? The availability of parts and parts network is a bigger issue than whether you fear a car or not. EVERY CAR WILL NEED TO BE MAINTAINED /REPAIRED AT ONE POINT OR THE OTHER. NO MATTER WHAT MAKE.

I can bring a car to Nigeria 2more called lets say: "Toyota Devil" and ppl wont even blink without buying it. However another car can be called "Jesus Christ" and ppl will probably hesitate. 

Its a matter of belief of parts availability, familiarity with repair issue etc. RT Briscoe might not be always near everytime u need anything fixed, however a Toyota/Honda/Nissan mechanic will almost definately be around.

Dont get me wrong, i am not arguing whether Ford is a good car or not here, i am simply coming from the point of view of ease in fixing any problem that arises/regular scheduled maintenance.

A lot of people used to drive DAEWOO RACER and SKODA [/b]back in the early/mid 90's. Have u seen any on the road lately?    Don't be a follow follow 

[b]"Think Global, Act Local" I dont know the ground in PH, u do. Its up to you. If the car will be ur second car fine but for a primary ride,,,,,  Hmmmmm 

Good luck friend.

@promise
u have just made me more tired about this car
too damn expensive for that amount--over 2m

anyway i think e.o.d wnt be that bad
i have 2 discuss wit viper abt dis or inspired

@ 190,

Its not my intention to discourage u. However, i think that u are already in love with a Yaris. Y dont u either save more or contact any US based dealer directly and see what can be done.

Its not even in Cotonou as u have found out. u are now trying to convince urself that EOD wont be bad. I see that u are trying to talk urself out of the Yaris. (thats y u made the comment that its "small" "doesnt go fast" etc etc) When u know u rily rily want the car!

I can almost guarantee that u probably might not be happy if u buy something else. Everytime u see a Yaris it will tug at u and ur heart will rip.

Save more and be realistic about price expectation. Contact any of the active US based dealers and see what they say.

NO BUSINESS is ever heading to success, BUSINESS what ever it may look like is faced by militiating factors, a single govt policy can ruin a seeminly thriving business.Hence BUSINESS is War, you MUST have the missiles,armoured tanks to fight it. You MUST be paranoid, or someone will remove bread from your mouth. DONT BE suprised Dangote group or First bank may crash one day. where is Odutola's. BUSINESS IS WAR THATS WHY MANY BIZ GET KILLED

pls

I am seeking info from ppl on ground who are into ice block business. Need to know current situation. Prospects, Challenges. etc

Thanks

All u can do is go thru the thread and see what "price range" Cars will eventually sell at certain price for various reasons. The car u finally decides to buy will be up/down depending on a lot of factors.

By the way before i forget when u know that the Yaris have all these flaws u mentioned above, why do u still want it anyway? Its like sayin that a girl no fine but u still wan marry am

You have been crying for a Yaris for almost 1 year!

190:

@promise
the prices that they kip givin is
ridiculous,
hw can a yaris cost more dan 1.7m
when its rather as small as a volks bug,
or wud i say kia rio
its not that fast on roads either lik
the camry's and e.o.ds so, 

@eddiebanga

and i heard u sold ur bmw too
wetin happen, we hardly talk
i have seen u 1ce in benin as well and knw u very well

190, u seem to be missing the point. Yaris started in 2007. Tear rubber is about 18-20k here (depending on accessories) or if its S model. Thats b4 u ship and clear. Even with depreciation, 1.7m is still good for a clean title Yaris. Cos rate is about $1 to $173 if u are buying (Someone i sent $$ to exchanged for $170 few days ago) it will be higher if u are buying as u know.

So 1.7m is a little less than $10k. And the cost of the car is not decided by the size. A tear rubber Toyota Sequoia is about $55k and a tear rubber porsche turbo is well over 100k  A porshe is a 2-door car. So your point doesnt hold any water at all.

Super clean 2001 Camry loaded still hang around 1.3-1.4 million. For a 2001!

Also, Honda EOD starts from 2003, so its unfair to compare those together cos Yaris is 2007. A fully loaded 2007 EOD is well over N3m in Naija the last time i checked.

So blame it on the Xchange rate. I feel ur pain. Money no easy for Naija. E no easy anywhere. No one wants to lose his/her shirt cos of car deal. Definately not me!

Pray rate goes down. Good luck friend.

pay $$$ now. baba 190!

its not that hard. call Jenju!
