Autos / Re: ################# Brand New 2016 Mercedes Benz GLE450...... FOR SALE!!!! by kizzle4eva(m): 1:50am On Oct 07, 2016
Bro the GLE coupe comes in 2 petrol trims namely
The GLE 450 n the GLE 63S.
And for a car to be brand new mileage shd be no more than 100.
All the examples u showed count as used cos the lowest mileage there is over 2k.
If the poster had showed us a 2016 wit ovet 2k miles n the clock U wd hve the reason to vent it on him

The question is why would you use N455 exchange rate to close the gap between fair price and the price gouging? Unless it is really hard to come by the dollars in Nigeria? Maybe i could be underestimating the currency crisis there but thats still not enough to justify the listed price on NL.

Lets not forget that the advertised car is in No way showing signs of being an AMG model.
My info is not misleading when you see the photo shots of MSRP direct from the manufacturer as the retail price. MSRP is not factory price, it is the price control marketing done by the manufaturer which includes the dealer markup/profit. Of course dealers have the chioce to sell above MSRP but they will lose business if they stray far from MSRP=retail price. Retail price implies dealer profits included.

So if you are justifyng a price based on AMG pricing for a vehicle that is not AMG, you are the one misleading. If you are suggesting there is still US or European dealer markup to add to MSRP value, then you could be misleading.

In the end, the only dealer adding to the price is the dealer in Nigeria and we know why Nigeria's economy and currency will never settle to stability. Price controls such as implied by MSRP are never respected in Nigeria. Nigeria consistently overprices, from food to hotels, cars and so on. Thats why the EU is calling to further devalue the Naira from the already sorry state of 315-455 across the markets. All this overpricing will come back to bite the price gouging import dealers when they have no more customers, and then the dealer will beg customers to buy it for N22m.

Bottom line is that the car is a <$70k car from the dealer Abroad and that is the price if it was overpriced abroad. I was just at the official Mercedes Dealer here in my home city in USA. I saw everything from Maybach, new AMG of various models and all the range of new mercedes vehicles. I can go to the dealer some day again and take pictures for you and post a business card of a sales representative for anyone to chat with in person.
If i am wrong, you best prove it by listing options included in the car ,because only added premium options can justify a $79k-$84k price. If the seller is not clear enough about any added option charges, its just another example of poor quality of service in Nigeria, poor standard of living in Nigeria and an overly priced Nigeria for all the lacking and poor state it has to provide. And that is the recipe behind the perpetual freefall of the Naira as it has since the Naira was born out of the Pound.

If i am wrong, start showing proof of any added premium options that would turn a $67k car into a $79k-$84k car. And the quality of service and envorions the car is advertising in It is hardly calling for such a huge markup in price on the Nigerian dealer side. But of course we know why such markup is being imposed. It is in keeping with the market practice culture of Nigeria that sees it sky jack prices of anything while neglecting quality and prowess over the product being tendered..

No blame Buhari when Nigeria costs more than USA ,but keeps in a state of quality well reflected in the poor state of the Naira with instability of the economy. Price control is a real aspect of any functional economy. Go and revise the fuel scarcity issues of 2015-2016 and how the fuel station dealers caused serious damage to the various local economies by charging fuel prices beyond reasonable standards. Nigeria, will charge you above reasonable price for the car and then come again to charge you above reasonable price every time you go to fuel the car, and then accuse you of misleading when you lay out all the first hand details of cost from manufacturer to retail market and export to beyond.

Sorry, i cannot agree with you until you spell out any added premium options in said vehicle. It would be prudent salesmanship to have included such info in the original for sale posting. I will give credit though, to the seller ,for at least agreeing to negotiation grin

Bro i think your post is very misleading.
A brand new 2016 GLE 450AMG retails between 79k-84k at the dealership excluding destination charge n shipping.
You can then add the clearing and the car dealer's profit markup.
Use 81,500usd(median price) n Naira at 455.
Unless the dealer is Uncle Dangote who still gets forex at official price, i don't think 57m is an overprice

19naia:
Buyers Beware.. This is how Nigeria gets overpriced and world investors push to devalue the Naira to keep pace with the overpricing of Nigeria.

Look at what these cars are listing for in USA in slightly used or like new condition. Also one snap shot showing MSRP(manufacturer suggested retail price) at less than N22m. The manufacturer: mercedes benz company is the one saying the true price at less than N22m.

The added costs of Shipping, clearing, insurance and service fees to transaction agent will still be less than N30m if you buy direct from USA and it may even be cheaper in Europe. AMG version no even reach N40m.
Don't let people like this crash the economy and Naira value any lower. This is how Nigeria becomes overpriced with a low standard of living to offer in return.

Politics / Re: APC's Promise Of Providing 3,000,000 Jobs In A Year: I Just Want To Remind PMB by kizzle4eva(m): 8:07am On May 30, 2016
These are mere deflections from the reality on ground.
The present economic policies suck, the govt us still in cmpaign mode, excuses are nails used to build a house of failure.
uyplus:
Bunch of demented PDP followers. GEJ had oil selling abovr $100 for 41 consecutive months but he couldn't show it. The railway is still being constructed by a 100% interest bearing loan from China. Yaradua grew our forex reserve to almost $50bn when oil was selling at $88pb, but GEJ depleted our reserves to $38bn and increased our external debts even when oil was selling way above $100pb. Where are the cooking stoves from sure-p? Where are they buses as palliatives during his so called partial subsidy.

Between 2010 to 2012, $31bn was stolen under Goodluck Ebele Jonathan's watch and he borrowed N2.57tn. 2007-2009, Yaradua external debt was $3.348bn and he left debt of $3.94bn and also our external reserve grew from $45bn to $63bn and then dropped to $47.7bn, oil price was $88pb. Now GEJ met debt of $3.94bn and as at 2014, his debt rose to $9.3bn and external reserve that should be growing even dropped from $47.7bn to $38.2bn even with oil selling above $100pb. The railway GEJ sings about was never funded by the FG but its an interest bearing loan from China. So please what was GEJ achievements? Where is the $1bn that was borrowed in 2014 to fight boko haram? The naira is crashing against the dollar because there isn't enough dollars to defend the naira. Why? $55bn of our foreign reserve was squandered by the Jonathan's administration. If the corruption allegations are all false, why are the likes of Tompolo and Asari in the hiding? They were prominent figures in Jonathan's administration. The bible says, the wicked runs when no man chaseth after him. Where in the world are these people, Tompolo, Asari, Obanikoro, Dikko, Dieziani, Kola Aluko, Lamorde, Sambo, Bala mohammed.

The so much free monies we saw during GEJ were borrowed monies. Now we have to service dose debts before we think ofgrowth and employment. Everything was shrouded in secrecy and thats why they couldn't prepare a thorough hand over notes when they were vacating office.

Buhari is not a magician. APC never knew the rot in our system was much during campaign. We have no option than to be patient with PMB to fix things gradually.

Politics / Re: Stop Giving 13% Oil Derivation To Governors, Ndigbo Group Tells FG by kizzle4eva(m): 9:36am On Mar 29, 2016
socialmediaman:
I don't support this call. I think its wrong for the FG to be taking investment decisions on behalf of the states, this makes every eye continue to be on FG rather than states. What I expect Is for the federal government to be weakened so that the politicians in Abuja can go back to their constituencies and fight for development, rather than live in Abuja endlessly and make decisions which affect states and LGs.
You are so on point. I still believe that the biggest problem of our governments is that power is too concentrated in the centre. If local governments were empowered, we would have credible people there as well as credible people in the state houses and of a truth, corruption would be minimized and development spread out

The chances of death taking just him, wife and son and sparing the driver, pa and orderly is 1 in 100,000. The more reason why people would assume something spiritually diabolical took place.
