Lol... My oga dem born me reach to "implies" to you? I fear God ooo... na blakky I dey refer to o not you biko...

In any case, is it possible to get a car (corolla 03) from the US down to Nigeria with a total landing cost of N1,200,000 Or a Camry 08 with N1.4m?

If you wan buy corolla, you better buy from here. If you try importing it, you will spend more than you would have spent buying it here.

God help you if it turns out to be a forklift unit

Let me do a little schooling.

European Brands
Mercedes
BMW
VW
Landrover

Asian Brands
Toyota
Honda
Kia
Mazda

American Brands
Ford
GM
Chrysler
Corvette

Chinese Brands
Baic
Jac
Gac
Geely

Now, vehicle brands make vehicles for regions with their Specifications.


So, you can have a BMW, Toyota, Geely vehicles that are made for American markets, they are called American spec, even though they are not American brands.


So, from the point of repair, accessibility to information, parts and durability. American specs are better.

Now, this is not across board.

BMW's and Mercedes built in Germany are more durable. But when it comes to repair, repair informations are not as accessible as the American spec.


Toyota
Prado
Hiace
Avensis are European and Asian specs. Not made for American markets.


Now, this your gif. Wetin e mean

Pls Comrade which Year of Honda Civic Is a Better Option to Buy considering the Ruggedity and Fuel economy...
And how much should I budget for tok

Wise men pls I need your contribution on this

dru23:



Funny enough self starting from May ..cost of shipping has increase .... I normally ship to naija for $920 and now it has increase by $110 .. Making it a total of $1030 ... Not including towing to the port ......


More salvaged cars will increase ..........

So I heard o. Bad times ahead

As seen on Uber/Bolt Facebook group. Please be careful guys

dru23:


With the currant exchange rate rite now ... The answer is NO......

Oh sorry I almost forgot that the dollar is approaching N500/1$, so what's the minimum I can get say a 02 Camry, 08 camry and an 03/07 Corolla? Assuming you're doing it for your loyal boy to help my life.

Also, can I send you money via blockchain?

Cars are usually high during this season.... Wait til around June / July ....

kanuisagoat:

God help you if it turns out to be a forklift unit

Supposing I've somebody in Europe or US that is willing to buy and send for me nko? So you would ask the person to rather send you the money when you all know it will/may cost less importing. What would you suggest at this point?

kanuisagoat:


So you think dealers are making profit of 1m na in all of us never begin import motor

That's not the point I'm trying to make here bro I'm just trying to find a honest answer or supposed I get a trusted person/relative who is ready to buy and ship in while I carryout the clearing from here which is after I've sent purchaing, towing and shipping money to h/h.

You get my point now?

Felicity001:


@ churcsmoore you've used both the Corolla and the Camry 08, among all the cars you've used for this hustle base on the following:

Earnings/profits
Ruggedity/2nd hand value
Engine performance and durability
Maintenace/fuel efficiency


Which would you advice a prospective veteran like yourself should go for should you be the one to drive it?


cc: pope191, chillex8, shollywendy, blackbishop, GAZZUZZ, radautoworks, northbird, peep4u, Nurey, eniola, kanuisagoat, pearls and others please yiur inputs are needed here

Nah Coro, nothing but Corolla brother. You will have more savings.

1. Fuel efficiency

2. Cheaper to maintain

3. Cars parts are affordable

4. Portable and smaller, easier to navigate on the road

5. Stronger and more durable

6. Suspension is higher, move on bad road with ease.

7. You make and save more money, you can use 1k fuel to make 10k on a surge of 3.0

8. 1.8 litre engine, the engine size is smaller, you don't need more than 1 gallon of oil for servicing

Hey God
There is no blame game here. we don't have a government
Drivers asked for a better working condition and more money. (same way uber drivers strike abroad)
It is left for the coy to listen and negotiate or ignore (as they have done in Nig)
we are only showing other drivers not hustle to die, but hustle with sense to stay alive.

Have you noticed that Bolt has started giving more bonuses
12,000 for 32trips.
3,100 for 10 trips, on Saturday 9 hours online.
As at last week it was 25 trips, 20hrs online.
I shouldn't be telling you this cos you will go and increase your rentals to 35k.

Bolt bonuses are good for boosting drivers earning, but it kills cars faster cos nah anywhere belle face. Most drivers over work the car to meet up with bonus.

Now, this you put up ☝ there is a very useful and educative information, thanks a lot.

But from my research, irrespective of the fact that the European cars are better base on the following:

1. Better Fuel Efficiency

2. More Technologically Advanced

3. High Resale Value

4. Solid Engineering

5. Aesthetic Appeal


So are you saying that the American specs is better of in the above 5points when compared to the Asian specs using the Corolla brand as a yard stick? Or just in terms of information, maintenance, repairs and parts.

Your input please

This post was 2018. 3 years ago when I was driving corrolla. I made 10k with 1k fuel on a single trip. From Marina to Oshodi ( to and fro) on 2.3 surge on Bolt. So brother impossible is nothing when you drive Coro.

Your input please

European vehicles. As a brand, not European Spec. But European Brands.


BMW
Mercedes
Volkswagen
Land Rovers

The above are European brands


But from my research, irrespective of the fact that the European cars are better base on the following:

1. Better Fuel Efficiency

2. More Technologically Advanced

3. High Resale Value

4. Solid Engineering

5. Aesthetic Appeal

Fuel efficiency:

Fuel efficiency in the context of how much fuel per mile. They consume more

Fuel efficiency in terms of torque per fuel. Maybe.


High Resale Value: Resale value is dependent on demand. There is less demands for European vehicles compared to their Asian counterpart.


So European vehicles do not have high resale values.


On reliability scores, Asian vehicles have proven more reliable than any other brand.

The biggest market for vehicle is America. More asian cars are sold, than even American brands.


If you need a vehicle you want to wake up to, and start and wont go to limp mode on you, go Asian.


Now for spec

In reality, American Spec vehicles.

A Toyota American Spec
Mercedes, American Spec
Volkswagen American Spec

Will have more luxury, taste, safety features, finish and practicality than any specification. It is a cultural thing. They want it all, big, and tasteful.



Using the Corolla

The American Spec Corolla will be more luxurious, well built, have more safety features than any other spec.

There is Corolla European Spec
South African Spec
Asian and Chinese spec.

Compare them in reality, the American spec is better, costlier, easy to repair and more durable.

Infact, are you aware, if you have a bad ECU on an american spec corrola, you dont need any special tool for programming.

If you have all key lost situation, you can do a reset from almost low end programming tools.

The Meter makes more sense in spelling, than metre and color to colour the same way the Americans have been more reasonable and practical in their specifications

Like you're a genious menh you really did justice to this an broadened my scope of understanding in automobile.

So American spec all the way is the way to go then.

One last thing Sir, how can one easily identify/differentiate the American spec from its other Asian counterparts like the SA, China, European and the Asian specs?

How determine Vehicle Spec, and region of manufacture.


Often times, Place of manufacture have a large influence on specification. Most countries want manufacturer to manufacture and sell in the country to reduce importation. Of course, reasonable countries.

So American spec vehicles, will be Made in North America.


The most reliable means is through the Vin of the vehicles.

North American vehicles (American Spec), will have the first number of the VIN to range from 1-5

e.g 2T1BU40E19C181192

The first number is 2. Without decoding this vin, i already know it is American spec cos of the number 2.

So the first letter or number, will either be. 1,2,3,4 or 5


The other way is through the interior.

Americans love luxury. The interior will probably have formaicas. And luxury look.

100%, they will come with airbags.

The other way is through the brake lights.

Also, a vehicle can be made in Japan, and still be American spec. Those kind of productions are for export.




The full proof way is through the vin, as people can modify their vehicles.

chucsmoore:


This post was 2018. 3 years ago when I was driving corrolla. I made 10k with 1k fuel on a single trip. From Marina to Oshodi ( to and fro) on 2.3 surge on Bolt. So brother impossible is nothing when you drive Coro.

Bolt used to have 2.3 surge? I have never seen anything more than 1.9 surge on bolt.

Maybe for the camry but you see that corolla, I'm not sure whoever you have there will want to buy for you because you will hardly beat the price its being sold in Nigeria.

I may be wrong but I doubt dru23 will bother trying to buy that vehicle for anyone here.

How those dealers make profit on that vehicle, I don't know. You should see the way they try to outbid each other during auction.

And some of those vehicles despite the ridiculous price at auction will still require additional $275 or $625 dollars if its a non runner or a forklift unit.

Better save yourself the headache and buy from here if you insist on the corolla but if you can look into other makes preferably not toyota, you can make significant gains importing yourself as against buying here.

A large percentage of vehicle importers are money launderers/ into fraudulent activities. When vehicles gets to Nigeria and sold, no more trail, they turn to clean money

Copart

etc.

Most vehicles brought to Nigeria are salvaged. From Copart, copart also has clean title.
