Scam?
I been around here longer than most of the people you listed above bro, do your findings first before jumping into conclusion.
I give out quotation based on price I got from my dealers in Cotonou, and I stand on whatever quotation at the time I give such quotation.
Now here is the drill, RX330 goes for CFA6m and my dealer said he wants to give out his cars so he can return to the US to bring in more cars, I called and I said I have a buyer for RX330 and dude said bring CFA5m and come and pick this one so I can go back to the US but I offered to pay CFA4.7m
Now do the math that's if your arithmetic skill is up to date.
Saintjoel listed clearing cost for RX330 on his thread for 550k but do you know that custom cost of clearing a 2004 RX330 is 350k in Seme border.
Check all the quotations I have given in my entire thread then come back to me anyone that is not obtainable then I'll show such car is being sold for in the US.
Like I said I have been around here for 7 whole years, now take your time to comb the forum and find out a customer complain that I failed to deliver on my promises.
Dude said I don't know about Cotonou, hahahahaha.
Bring all you got because I got a the time for you, I mean I have entire day to spare.

I HAVE BEEN BANNED FOR SOME DAYS AND THAT IS WHY I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPLY @NIYIBASHORUN,HAD TO REGISTER WITH ANOTHER MONIKER.

EVERYONE OPERATING AROUND COTONOU HAS HIS/HER WAY OF GIVING QUOTES AND THEY ARE NOT UNDER ANY OBLIGATION TO REPLY PROSPECTIVE CLIENTS/CUSTOMERS DEMANDING FOR EXPLANATIONS.@NIYIBASHORUN,YOU ASKED ME VIA PM OF QUOTING EXHORBITANT PRICES AND YOU USED MY POST ON CHUCKY'S THREAD TO HOUND HIM WHICH SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN AND SERIOUSLY I SEE IT AS A BREACH OF PRIVACY BECAUSE HE IS ENTITLED TO IT.
THE REASONS I ASKED HIM QUESTIONS WAS BECAUSE I NEEDED CLARIFICATIONS AND WANTED TO CHECK IF I WAS BEEN SHORTCHANGED BY MY PEOPLE IN COTONOU BUT THAT DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE POWER OR AUTHORITY TO DRAG HIS NAME IN THE MUD.


@CHUCKY234,PEOPLE LIKE @NIYIBASHORUN WILL COME UP ONCE IN A WHILE AND IT TAKES PATIENCE AND GRACE TO MANAGR THEM,IT IS ONE OF THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS WE FACE AS BUSINESSMEN AND I'VE DELETED SOME OF MY POST ON YOUR THREAD AND THERE IS NO WHERE I'VE STATED N550,000 FOR CLEARING AN 04/05 RX330 BUT IF YOU CAN POINT IT OUT ON MY THREAD,NO QUALMS AND I'LL APOLOGISE TO THE PERSON/PERSONS INVOLVED.

GBENGA (SAINTJOEL) IS THE CEO OF JELAD VENTURES (A REGD. CLEARING AND FORWARDING AGENCY) AND I HEREBY DECLARE THAT WHATEVER @NIYIBASHORUN AS WRITTEN IS NOT IN ANY WAY RELATED TO JELAD VENTURES.HE WAS ONCE OUR CUSTOMER BUT WE HAVE NOT STOPPED HIM FROM TRANSACTING BUSINESS WITH ANYONE HE DECIDES TO DEAL WITH BUT I WILL NOT PERMIT MY NAME OR MY COMPANY TO BE DRAGGED INTO THIS MUDSLINGING.

THANKS.

PURCHASE FROM COTONOU.

We feel the need to explain the concept behind the term "ASKING PRICE" cos it seems it has confused some prospective customers.

The use of "ASKING PRICE" is all about giving any prospective customer a fair idea of what to budget for when coming into the market. What some agents/car dealers/middlemen do is just quote a price offhand just because they want to push you into the market and by the time you get there as the customer,it turns into something but at the end,you have to start paying cash not budgeted for and it gives you that feeling that you've been scammed.

When buying/making inquiries from cotonou,there are so many factors you as the prospective customer have to consider.

**OAULITY OF VEHICLES - Prices may vary when it comes to purchasing a vehicle,Mr A might buy a accidented car,repaint and fix some certain parts in cotonou while Mr B walks in straight to buy a grade one vehicle with no issues but at the end,it won't be the same price.

**EXCHANGE RATE - If you're given an asking price with the current exchange rate of that day,it may not apply when you're ready to buy because of fluctuations but at the end you've a very fair idea of how much it's sold.

** BARGAINING POWER - Asking price gives you the power to bargain,even if there's a fluctuation in exchange,you can still bargain and a fair idea of the asking price helps a lot. Using a 2001 camry as an example,we can give you the asking price of N931,000 + N130,000 custom duty but some agents/car dealers/middlemen will just tell you it's N1M,what they've not not told you is the amount to pay for duty,purchase price inside cotonou and it will not pay you because after factoring your budget around a million naira,you may get to the market and spend more than that but they've achieved their aim of luring you into the market and you don't even know where to start bargaining from,so even if he/she wants to scam you,you don't even know.

In a place where there are almost eight parks with hundreds of car dealers,there is no way you won't be able to get a good bargain if you're sincere with yourself and you've a credible agent with you,not when a customer goes into the market to look for a 2008 camry with N1.2M or because someone somewhere has told him/her it's N1.7 or N2.5M without detailed information about purchase cost or duty charges.
