This is why the car is expensive.

Assuming I dash you this car in America say in New Jersey . You spend $400 to truck it to Baltimore or Delaware Port. You pay $1350 for Roro shipping to Lagos. That's $1750@1660=2,905,000.

When it arrives Lagos you will spend minimum 2,000,000 to clear it. All amounts to 4,905,000.
that's assuming I dashed you the car in America

lie. you just open mouth and say some things without adequate knowledge and research, you would just say it with so much confidence as it you know what you are saying.

This car is not even common in USA, and the price range from $4,000 and above. It is expensive and not easy to come by, newer cars than this 2001 camry are even cheaper.

Nonsense talk. $300 kor $150 ni, go and steal it now.

Oga, this very car have never been cheap.
The value have always been high from the early 2000.
They have never sold this car for 650k, even in 2005.
Except it was second hand.
In 2005, this ride was over 1 million naira.
Even when Big for nothing came out in 2005, the direct Belgium of this car was still more costlier than Big for nothing.
Do your fact check.

The most fuel-efficient non-hybrid car for 2024 is the Mitsubishi Mirage, with a fuel consumption of approximately 6.0 L/100 km (39 MPG combined). Other top non-hybrid options include:

Honda Civic: 6.5 L/100 km (36 MPG combined)

Hyundai Elantra: 6.5 L/100 km (36 MPG combined)

Nissan Versa: 6.7 L/100 km (35 MPG combined)

Toyota Corolla: 6.7 L/100 km (35 MPG combined)


These cars provide excellent fuel economy without the complexity of hybrid systems.

Cars are designed differently to maximize efficiency. Baba has absolute zero knowledge of science and engineering and zero knowledge of cars
