Is It Wise To Import A Car From U.K? by Krak(m): 12:34am On Jun 03, 2021 |
Please is it wise to import a car from the UK to Nigeria and then convert the during wheels from right drive to left drive? First, I need to get an estimate of the cost of shipping from UK to Nigeria including custom duties etc. Then I need to know the likely cost of changing the driving wheel here in Nigeria including the likelihood of any possible problems that may likely arise. |

No Avoid unnecessary stress unless the car is being shipped to you free of charge, it's not worth it... just contact any reputable car dealer here and buy a factory LHD of the car you want...avoiding the 200k or a little more profit they will make from you isnt worth the stress of buying, trucking, shipping, clearing and replacing the vehicle's parts vandalized by wharf rats 5 Likes 1 Share |

Lexusgs430: There are people who can do the conversion very well, just find them & do it. Personally, I think it's disrespectful & ungrateful to urge someone to sell what he intended to gift u, then send u d money...but what do I know? Op knows his relatives better sha 5 Likes |

Is the relative footing the bill for shipping and clearance? If yes... fine... then make sure you have enough to pay for a professional conversion . If not....thanks but no thanks. |

It depends on the car in question. If it’s a a Peugeot or Toyota that is before 2007 . Ifs fine. They can easily convert. Avoid any other car brand or newer models of the above mention |
