Imagine one lousy mouth saying I dont know what anything about car import when I have two accounts with top auction companies in Canada. I said you can ship a car from US to Lagos for as low as $800 and one literate-illiterate asked if from Senegal or Port Harcourt. You can buy a clean trouble-free 2003 EOD in US for $6,000 if you are buying directly from the owner and not from dealers or sub-dealers and N1,050,000 is enough to keep the car at your showroom in Lagos,why then you dont want to sell for N1.3m? People sell their cars in US for different reasons,not every car you find cheap has problem. The best way to buy a car from US is by buying directly from the principal owner,I told him my friend sold his car a nicompoop said I dont know what my friend does in the US when I was talking of a white American man who have used 6 cars in the last 4 years and sold 5 of them at very cheap prices. If you are making a N100,000 from a car thats more than enough profit for a single car sold but no Nigerian dealers always want to make a fortune from selling a car,this attitude will never help you. there are so man good guys out there who sell their cars at reasonable prices and those unscrupulous element will go about telling buyers that cars sold at such rates are faulty cars. Lets be sincere with ourselves and call a spade a spade,there are good cars out there going for N1.3m |

chucky234: I don't know much about car procurement from the USA but your calculation of N1.050m to a Lagos showroom is very wrong when you used your buying price of $6000. Buying Price - $6000 equals to N960k but what happened to Trucking cost?Shipping cost?clearing cost? ![]() |

chucky234: Can you give us a breakdown of how 1.05m can get a car to the Lagos showroom? |
Re: Cant Someone Get A Good Car Deal On Nairaland? by knelson(m): 5:54pm On Mar 06, 2012 |
chucky234: You really do not know what you are talking about. This is the breakdown for the EOD senario: Cost of the Car = 6000USD Shipping from the US= 1200USD Storage before you ship the car= 50USD Towing=50USD other related costs= 50USD Total US cost(including Shipping)= 7350USD Nigerian Cost: Clearing cost=250,000NGN Moving cost= 10,000NGN Other related costs= 10,000NGN Total Cost (Nigeria) = 270,000 NGN Now, let's convert the US cost to NGN and add up everything: 7350*150 + 270, 000 = 1,372,500 NGN This is a very conservative estimate my little mouth friend. Now you tell me how you came about you number. And the talk about your friend being a white guy. who says white people do not do bad things too. I have lived with white people for more that 20 yrs now. They are no better than the black people giving the same circumstances. |

Yes you can get a good car deal from good minded people, not people that want to rip others off their few bugs, i deal on car in the UK; you can really have better pricing than the one to the USA or Canada. the only problem i am having is that the Car's here are right handed when i bring it down to Nigeria we convert it to left handed, that cost more after i do the converting but cost less if the buyer chooses to do the conversion them self. and i import car's on the people request , i believe when you use the right dealer you get the right product |

I have said it before and i amsaying it now : The BEST car deal on NAIRALAND has already been offered but no response. I guess its the economy and choice otherwise i keep wondering why nobody has responded to such a wonderful offer! Maybe i still need a lesson on : THE ART OF NEGOTIATION . Could also be reasons of my antecedents , because all you need to do is just call and NAME your price if you are SERIOUS, and yet, Check it out here https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=881535.msg10317524#msg10317524 |

Aywire: Genesis of the problem, assuming say no be u get am, u can imagine how many people 50k would be multiplied by, anyway, 2012 minus 2003 equals 9yrs, 1.3 Nigerian million naira approx over 8k USD hmmm , I just remembered a thread on nairaland started by one spyder88 who tagged it as " the real cost of building a 6-bedroom duplex" some people say e fit reach several millions, others thought otherwise, while the thread owner was an expert. I am sure many Auto freaks were there and perhaps contributed, this is sure another one, watch out, ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Maybe we can term dis one the "THE REAL COST OF BUYING A USED 2003 HONDA ACCORD-toks" how about that? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Kuntash It is always good to be strong willed in what you believe. I am being tempted to go on a search journey with you. . . . . if you are willing to ![]() ![]() You find the car, revert to me or any other dealer u can 'trust' and then we do a due diligence. and then give u the landing cost. Also, you can go to IAA or Copart and register as a guest assuming u don't have time to get a full licence At least as a guest, u can watch bids online and follow the process and see how sales end. Thereafter, revert to me with your findings My emails and phone numbers are on my signature. But one thing is certain, you can't land a quality, accident free, one user unit for the price people like you will want it. It is always good to research and reinforce your beliefs. If interested let me know. U can go to my thread and see the links i posted for 3 EODs Follow them and let's see what they sell for. I have already added them to my watch list and will follow the auctions if you are willing to go on a the ride with me ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Re: Cant Someone Get A Good Car Deal On Nairaland? by calculusx(m): 6:27pm On Mar 07, 2012 |
Another example to show its almost impossible to buy a 2003 Honda Accord for 1.3m. The 2003 Honda Accord below was sold for $4800 {Including Auction fee} Today. Cost on Auction $4800 {including auction fee} Trucking to Port 300 Shipping 1200 Agent fee 500 ------------------------------- Total $6,800 * 160 Naira per $ {#1,088,000} Cost of Repair: 2 headlamps,Front Bumper,front grill,painting,radiator and probably fog-lamp to be estimated @ #100,000 #1,088,000 + #100,000 + #250,000 Clearing in Lagos ------------------------- #1,438,000 Total There is no magic any dealer can do to land 2003 EOD for 1.3 including his marginal gain of 100k, except if he is selling a lemon.

Emperoh: I'm following the iaai listings too bumper to bumper and I HOPE I will win all the three listings for a landing cost of 1.3m ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Re: Cant Someone Get A Good Car Deal On Nairaland? by calculusx(m): 6:38pm On Mar 07, 2012 |
dayokanu: My brother, 1.3m will not even land that EOD from my calculations. Though I wasn't the one that won the bid but i want to see the possibility of landing that 2003 EOD for 1.3 but the moment i noticed its above what can land it for 1.3 i backed out. Pre-biding ends @ $2700 9369770 643 2003 HONDA ACCORD 03/07/2012 08:30 AM CST Metro DC(MD) 13 days ago 5 2700.00 $ $ Me Pre-Bidding Closed. |

How many ways or channels can a 2003 Honda accord be bought and shipped to Lagos? |
Re: Cant Someone Get A Good Car Deal On Nairaland? by calculusx(m): 10:22pm On Mar 07, 2012 |
kuntash: Numerous ways my dear brother as one way no enter market. |
Re: Cant Someone Get A Good Car Deal On Nairaland? by kuntash: 7:48am On Mar 08, 2012 |
calculusx: It shall be well with you Calculux, only say u don dey join Auto cabal for nairaland small small ![]() ![]() ![]() meaning if there are several ways, there would be some people- not agents I mean actual owners willing to let go a 2003 Honda accord @ somewhat ridiculous price, |
Re: Cant Someone Get A Good Car Deal On Nairaland? by calculusx(m): 8:20am On Mar 08, 2012 |
kuntash: My dear brother, there is nothing like Cabal on NL and i must also reiterate that Cars are cheaper on NL than Western Avenue,Surulere,Agidingbi,berger,Lekki axis and Ikorodu road for so many reasons. Do you ask how many dealers from the said locations are on NL? {Very few}. Is it that they don't know about NL? {NO}. Most of them are not on NL because majority of buyers on NL are expose and are also aware of the pros and cons when buying cars. They get good deals from passersby who doesn't know much about what they are buying. I have SOLD so many cars to dealers along Ikorodu road who will resell to their mugu for ridiculous amount i dare nt advertise on NL. Please let us appreciate NL for the exposure and for so many other lesson learnt here. ![]() ![]() @kuntash, if you need a 2003 Honda EOD, there are ways to go about it but with conditions. 1. This isn't the best time to get a good deal that will land 2003 EOD for 1.3m 2. I will not contribute my personal $1 to the Purchase. All funds will be paid for by the buyer 3. With the exchange rate of 159.5 Naira to 1$, if $ can be @ this rate or lower between October - 1st week in January 2013, you can get 2003 EOD for 1.3m {Clean Title with a minor repair} |

You can find all the best bargains locally on cars by going to this site I found. The site is a massive time saver since there are really only a couple of options available for finding a good deal. These options contain the website or spending hours at different dealerships. Within Kennedy Mazda you will definitely get the most perfect automotive purchasing experience achievable. Therefore drop by Austin TX Honda soon! I'm sure you'll get the very best car purchasing experience with the best deal possible. |
