When we say this country is gone , some people think you are over exaggerating. If you buy this car for 700 dollars , inland/transport to port will cost 300 dollars . Shipment will cost 1,300 dollars and clearing this car should be nothing below 1m. So how much will dealer sell this car ?

See how ignorant you're.

You don't even own a car but will like to come online to impress.

Where can you get that type of car for $700 ?

It's your cursed Biafra headed by Simon Ekpa that has finished , not Nigeria

You see this APC na poverty cultist. They have ruined this country.

Everything is damn expensive. I made a foolish mistake around May when I sold my good TVS bike at 400K, till now I can't afford a bike again because it is expensive.

Since 2015, Nigeria has been in a chaotic state and since the emergence of this guy, everything is skyrocketing on daily basis. I ed I told them them not to vote for disaster but they said NO that he is coming to make Nigeria better.

Well, I didn't vote can't vote APC. Since APC era, school fee rise from peanut money to Lexus Jeep money.

And, I am saying it, come 2026, this APC will make life cheap and simple to wins people heart again for the 2027 election and if they make that same mistake again, that will be worst compared to this current one.

I will still say this come 2026 by God's grace.

I bought this car for 1.3m in 2020 ( the envelope model abi how Dem dey call am)


Well this is the effect of bala blue


I'll rather add extra #3m and buy rx300 ( 1999-2002)

Or add extra #2m and buy Camry 2003

Or add extra #2.5m and buy Honda pilot from (2003/2003/2006) rather than buying this piece of crap for that amount

Let me explain to you the cost of buying, shipping and clearing. We will use your $300 for the calculation :

Buying $300 = #495,000
Shipping $1,640 =#2,722,500
Clearing: #3,200,000.00

Total: #6,417,500

Whereas you can buy a 2009 camry:

Buying: $3,500 =5,775,000
Shipping $1,640 =#2,722,500
Clearing: #3,200,000.00

The cost of shipping every car are the same, while the cost of clearing any car below 2012 is the same. I used 1$ @ 1,650

Instead of me to buy that Toyota camry at such exorbitant price, I rather buy Honda Civic or peugeot 406 especially this particular model.
This car is very fuel economical, rugged and fast, it's even more fuel economical than 2003 Toyota corolla, But many people no know.

This Toyota camry 1997/1999 is a 1.8Ltr Engine just like Corolla 2002 - 2007.

The Camry 2002 to 2006 is 2.2 Ltr Engine which obviously consume more fuel ⛽

Charlie munger is whom u called clueless.

There are more poor people now than ever in our history.

Despite the new age billionaires,we still have more people falling into poverty on a daily basis.
That's not true. Poverty has drastically reduced with China pulling almost a billion people out of poverty within a generation. Charlie can be wrong even though he was a billionaire.

This Camry suck fuel a lot, the only advantage is that the car is rugged and reliable.
I don't agree.
Provided the car engine is in order, and your catalyst is intact,It has fuel Econony like corolla.

I am talking from experience..For a car I first drove, sold and bought another of it.

Equally rugged and reliable as well.

And e dey run..That car speeding is like a Turbo charged something..Reason why it's Engine is used in speed boat construction in the south south.

You lied when you said that the cost of clearing any car below 2012 is the same. If you mean to say the same make and model of car, I can agree with you. Otherwise Convince me how a 2011 Toyota Corolla and a 2011 Mercedes E350 or 2011 Lexus ES350 is going to be the same to clear

It does not necessarily need to be a V8. A V6 can consume that level of fuel too depending on the driving habit. You also need to check the road condition plus the distance covered.
