The F700 is tight. I personally prefer the look and style of the F800 though.

That was clearly a goal. We could see it clearly on TV.
Sepp Blatter needs to move his rear-end and follow the lead of UEFA.
Techology/Extra Referees at the goal line.
These kind of disallowed goals shouldn't continue occurring.

God please give this Mikel a long injury spell

Chei ! Easy now,

Wow. We qualified. Congrats to all my Nigerian brothers and sisters.
Super Eagles, in my opinion, have the potential to provide a better showing than Tunisia - so good for Africa (Though, I am biased).
Those boys almost gave us all a heart-attack.

And it begins; similar to qualifications for WC 2006.

I didn't watch the match , but I am sure I would not blame Amoudu (if I had seen the match) or any coach for that matter.

These boys are not hungry to play for their country. A good number of them are being paid over $70K/week salaries - what the hell do they care?!?. A good number of these guys play for world-class coaches - what the hell would Amoudu say to them that they'd listen to really (tactical or otherwise).

Remember the team at WC '94 - that team was made up of a bunch of hungry footballers. We do well in the youth championships, because the boys that make up the team are hungry to achieve.

The super eagles should be made up of good footballers that are local (at least to the tune of 75% of the team). See what happens then.

Asswipes drawing with Mozambique. Can you imagine that crap !!! (Pardon my venting).

See attached file for detailed CARFAX report - hope this helps.

Highlights:
1. Accidents  reported on 11/21/2002, 12/20/2002, 01/27/2004 - Cobb, Dekalb & Clayton Counties (respectively),  Georgia. (Front impact with other vehicles; moderate damage reported)
2. Last reported odometer reading: 172,526 miles.

Hopefully these were all disclosed to you.

the boys played the better game,
I'm very proud of them,

wow, and another one !

shot!!!! GOAL!!!

what a miss, anichebe!!!!!

Goal !

But I've seen other situations where the linesman raises the flag for offside. Good Fortune!

Brazil 1 Cameroon 0.

Dammit !

Pictures? Asking Price?

@ klassyguy

I will try and take my time in addressing as many questions as I can.

First of, a lot of things will be entirely dependent on how you/friend envision your auto-importing business (i.e. the tastes of your customers; your location (i.e. abuja, no ports, vehicles would have to be conveyed to abuja, from lagos port, if to be sold in Abuja; your approach to sales/selling (i.e. do you want to have vehicles imported prior to having potential buyers - storage costs, etc; or do you desire having somewhat committed customers prior to searching for and importing the car specs the customers have requested - little to no storage costs, quick turnover of cars held, etc - note: most sellers I know in Lagos do the former, but some others engage in the latter 'system/method') As you mentioned that the friend has 5 customers I thought to mention the latter method as a viable option - but note that it is harder to conduct with the environment in Nigeria (you could have someone commit and still back out of the contract). A ton of these you'd most likely have a better idea of when you examine what auto-importers around you are doing, making inquiries of them and matching with your specific situation/preferences.
Other things of note would include where you'd be sourcing (this is key) the vehicles from (i.e. locally, or globally). Once some of the business direction has been 'ironed-out' a response to you question would probably be as follows:

"can you give me a low-down of the things needed in order to start" - (a) reputable source/sourcing of vehicles to be sold; (b) costs associated with storage of vehicles (if and when needed); (c) costs associated with conveying vehicles from port(s) to Abuja; (d) capital - highly depends on what you want to do (e.g. one (sourcing from the USA) could start off with one car, say a 1999-2001 toyota camry and invest N750K to N1.1m (includes shipping and clearing) (yes a wide range/disparity, but would be driven by year, mileage, condition of car, trim of car, salvage title or not salvaged (yep, a lot of cars in Nigeria are salvaged) options included (all aforementioned are sourcing related), shipping method used, competency of clearing agent would drive clearing costs, etc); on the other hand, one could start off with 3 (three) 2006 mercedes benz c-classes for example and invest between N9m to N11m. (we have a situation where one car clears for about N200k and the other about N550k - see, it all depends on what you guys want to do). Unfortunately I can't provide an idea of costs for (a), (b) and (c) as I never deal with these when I ship cars.

"The advantages and disadvantages" adv - it is a good, but involved, business; car dealers in Nigeria are notorious for making around 80%-100% margins on higher-end cars (benzes, hummers, etc) so there is money to be made - but you probably already know that. disadvantage - it can be a friggin hassle, (customer backouts, car tie-downs, etc).

"agent fees" - Personally, i have only worked with a fellow who works at the lagos port and happens to be a tenant in my Mother's house - so I've really not dealt with agent fees, besides clearing costs - but I do 'settle' him for his help from time to time.

I may have caused you more questions than answers, but like I mentioned earlier on, make inquiries of people who are in the business, know what you wnat to do/see yourself doing in the business and go from there. The costs I quoted were from my experience using USD against Naira (N120 exchange rate).

Oh yes, it does not hurt to have good people around you too.

Good luck.


PS - Please help me here: the End of Discussion is the Honda Accord right?

@Young_Digi

Not aware of any workarounds to the clearing costs. The Lagos port has been 'privatized' - the costs are standard; essentially.
It is all dependant on the type of car being cleared. Examples of my lagos port clearing experience in the past year:

1997 Toyota Hiace: N130K
2001 Toyota Camry: N250K
2006 Hummer H2: N650K

P.S. - Some folks try shipping/clearing through Cotonou (Benin Republic), but I would not recommend that.
Note the costs may amount to relatively the same.

Good Luck.

Shotster50:

I assume you speak of the Chrysler 300 (and not the 300M) with 2005 through 2008 model years.

Price ranges from $14,000 to $20,000 (depending on mileage, year, certified used, etc)
Shipping from NY/NJ to Lagos is $1400; RORO (typically what I pay for shipping cars to Lagos, Nigeria)
I have cleared similar cars for around $3000.

Unfortunately, I live in the US and things may be quite different in the UK.

Sir Qweirdy.

Funkee:
hi Guys, please help me out here. I need to get a Toyota Camry 1993 auto all prices inclusive.

thanx

Funkee:

I have come across (in the Northeast of the USA) '93 Toyota Camry's that go between $1500 - $1800 (dependent on things like mileage, interior and exterior condition, etc).

Shipping to Cotonou from the Northeast would be between ($1300 - $1500).

Not quite sure about clearing cost from Cotonou to Lagos though - I only have experience shipping to Lagos.

I've heard of the same car going for N700K in Lagos. But that was before any pricing (price-haggling).

I am sorry i could not get back to you and others that had questions for me. I have been so busy and beside myself. I do not have time to stop by here that much any more. I hope guys here in the USA can hold it down.

We will, of course, try our very best to hold the fort. But Dammit the bar has been raised so high by you guys.

[quote author=$$Rhino link=topic=49679.msg1275419#msg1275419 date=1184002445]it is either the car is stolen, or u just want to see how many people will respond to you, if you have bought the car with your own money, there is no way on earth you would sell a 2003 Jaguar S-Type for 1.6M, clearing of such alone cost 400K, so how much did u buy and how much did u ship if wasnt bought within nigeria, also, these are V8 engines and you saying the fuel consumption could be compared to toyota and honda, which honda, because it surely aint Accord nor camry, so bros, get better information be4 marketing, besides, if you want to sell a stolen vehicle via this site, that would be sad[/quote]$$Rhino:
My Apologies, but I must agree with Mr. viperman in that it is not quite fair to state the car is 'either stolen' or 'viperman is not a serious seller only looking to garner the number of responses to his listing'. A lot of other possibilites are left out.

There are a number a possible reasons why the price may be somewhat low:
the mileage - 100K miles (would contribute to a lower price); the car is a manual transmission AND V6(i.e. the base of base models) (would contribute to a lower price), the car could have been a complete insurance write-off in the US - it looks like a US spec to me (accident and restored, flooding, etc) (would contribute greatly to a lower price); other possibilities also exist inclusive of the ones you mentioned.

Jaguar S-Types also come in both V6s and V8s. So the V6 S-Type (18miles per gallon) is comparable to a V6 Honda (21 miles per gallon) or Camry (20 miles per gallon). With comparable being the key word.

Btw: I cleared a more expensive car for less than 400k in Lagos. I'd be surprised if the tariff on the S-type were 400k. Lol. You never know with Naija though.

shey:
u guys are bad u i empoly u all to check your prices well coss it even $4500 in the US

Paying $4,500 for this car in the US is a mistake.
You (or anyone for that matter) should be able to get this for between $1,800 - $2300 in the US - That's also retail.
Dealer auction would, of course, be lower.

600K - 750K naira, as some folks here have mentioned, sounds reasonable in Nigeria.

Hello Good People -

New to the forum and I have a question:

I have a 2007 Hummer H3, 6900 miles (no accidents + clear title + 1 owner) and looking to ship to Nigeria for sale.

How much would I reasonably expect and what could would the average 'sale turnover' time be for such a car.

Thanks.
