While scrolling and searching for a Corolla, I saw this shocking pictures of an auction Corolla that was brought into the country. From my observations I feel the importer didn't have enough funds to fix it up. Why did i post this? Read on...... This is how so many Accidented Vehicles come into Nigeria via Apapa, Tican and co. If them give this one to ladipo boys them fit turn am to brand new. ![]() This had a major damage but can be fixed, but there are more that's worse than this trust me. The problem I have with most of these auction cars is because they are prone to be accidented, badly driven without damage, flooded or even stolen. A lot of cars that you see on Nigeria Car stands and Online usually come in like this. The problem is not that most of them can't be fixed, it's just that some of them are badly damaged and tend to show problems later, especially flooded cars!!! The best way to avoid this is to know the history of the car, you can do this by running a ViNcheck on it. Ensure you do the needful when buying any car, Nigerian used or Tokunbo.

To me, the seller was transparent enough to post a car at that conditions. Many sellers would have borrowed money to fix it up and refund when they have successful converge with a maga. And besides, the accident is at the rear, so, I think its less risky. For the 1.6m price tag, I believe that should be the asking price and it is still a subject to further negotiation. 29 Likes 3 Shares |

haiti007:There's no any maga thing here Bro. Quality for cars isn't cheap. If a dealer brings in a clear title, low milleage car at a fairly higher price and the seller fixes a higher price based on the purchase price and other factors, will Nigerian customers be willing to pay for it? That's when you'll hear Emeka is selling his own N1, so why's yours N1:20k. Most people want quality cars but bear in mind it'll come at a higher cost 11 Likes |

incogni2o: Even with that damage, It would cost the seller nothing less than 1.2m to purchase, ship and clear. Corollas are gems in auction sites dues to e-hailing demand Plus the damage is not that bad 8 Likes |

Trustme2: On the contrary bro, where I used the word "maga" there was to nobody in particular but those that don't make concrete findings before buying a car And for the pricing thing, you're right |

seanwilliam:Then be ready not to buy a car in Nigeria. This damage isn't bad compared to some others especially those with front damage. 95% of cars in Nigeria are imported like this, repaired and sold. But if you want a clean title car, then be ready to pay handsomely. They don't come cheap. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

IMO, the is nothing wrong with the car, it's very costly to fix these accidented cars in the West ( cost of damaged parts are cheap, labour is very costly, mechanics charge per hour). Most is the cars shipped into Nigeria are salvage. Cost of labour is cheap in Nigeria. Do you even know how much you'll pay for a clean title car to Custom? Always use VIN, and please stay away from car damage due to flood. 2 Likes |

seanwilliam: You don’t know that this is how most cars come into Naija. This dent is minimal & not affecting the chassis so it is all good. Once brought in 2 similar Corolla & after fixing i sold 2006 for #1.7million fast-fast & the other #1.6million cause it was 2004 model. Toyota Corolla is hot cake & is getting scarce abroad bro 3 Likes |

Lexusgs430: Cause you saw it this way, if i show you one that is worse looking than this before fixing & how it looked afterwards you will be amazed. Worst cars to buy are flooded cars or bad accidental that affects the chassis if not then no yawa. Can you pay #2.5million for a clean title Toyota Corolla 2006 with no dent/no body work with decent mileage on the odometer? So you see where the problem is cause people’s purchasing power is quite low. When you can get same looking Corolla but fixed perfectly at #1.7million 4 Likes |
