trucking- $200
shipping $950
Duty- Can't be more than 250k
Purchase power (#1.1m - ($1150*360)- #250k - #20k)= #416,000 ($1,155).

This is possible in my views.

Duty is more like 300k.
1k for an old Camry? Probably can't find that on Craigslist. Possible at auctions, though.

Buyer fee, service and internet fees will also be paid. These will easily amount to $300. Cost of repairs when the vehicle lands nko?

If the vehicle turns out to be a non-runner, extra costs will come in.

While I don't think its impossible getting it at that price in car stands, I believe the dealer must have cut corners with the duty and the vehicle would have been heavily accidented with 250k+ miles.

Personally, I don't recommend pre order to anyone who is not ready to spend at least 1.6m.

You are very right on that. I forgot to adjust for the fees. I think 1.4m will do a neat non-accidented and 150k-200k mileage or accidented with repairs inclusive.

If you mean buying from Dealers in Lagos, I don't recommend it to people. Some of those people do lots to maximize profit.

Corolla is cheaper to maintain. But the 04 Camry is more secured than the Corolla... If you understand what I mean.

Corolla has the high rate of stealing and getting vandalized. And the Camry came with more security function than the Corolla

Lexus ES is an upscale Camry. The ES will be better at just about everything bar fuel consumption.

Buy the ES.
