please follow nairalander, i wan to buy good and cheap benz 190, some told me that is cheap in kaduna, some say lagos, pls where can one buy car cheap most, and what should be my budget for that car

If you stay in the north, precisely from Kogi/Abuja upwards, it appears it is cheaper for you to buy cars below N1 million from Kaduna. I just got a 1997 Golf 3, Wagon, manual, no AC for a friend to be used for transport purpose. I got it for 560K which was the best deal I could get from Lagos as well. I consider this a good deal considering the fact that I would have needed at least N35k to drive it unregistered up north, that is OD for kelebe (custom boys), police and soldiers - dem don follow join now, no thanks to Boko Haram. These people no longer have any respect for valid duty certificate.

A word of caution for you anyway, most Kaduna cars, especially smaller vehicles, do not have original custom papers as clearing seriously reduce their profit. I learnt a number of their vehicles come in through Niger Republic.

An alternative to your request is to ask Lagos Dealers for prices and compare with your findings in Kaduna.

My 2-penny sir.

neither lagos nor kaduna wil give you a cheap and a reliable car, why not try sokoto or borno states.
