Trust me when i tell you this i asked the same question!!
In
Nigeria, Tokunbo has multiple meanings but the predominant definition
refers to "used cars," and these are all the rage -- they make up 80% of
the cars on the road in Africa's most populated country. This
ethnographic film explores the inner workings of this trade as well as
the reasons behind the popularity of Tokunbo, and Nigeria's preference
for vehicles previously owned by North Americans and Europeans.
All credits go to Kevin Anderson YouTube channel he made a great video for what a tokunbo car is.
The title is the first subject i chose to address because without the title your car will be stuck here in the USA. The title certifies that you or your business is the legal owner of that vehicle and if you plan on Shipping your car to Nigeria Cheap.this is the highest of importance. The title needs to match the shipper or company's name that you plan on using for cheap car shipping to Nigeria. If you buy a car from a private owner here in the United States Make sure you consistently stress about the title or have someone purchase the vehicle on your behalf.
Buying with Auto Brokers
I honestly never thought i would be writing an article WARNING people about buying from brokers in the United States. Unfortunately this is reality and their is dishonest, unethical people online who are posing as Auto Brokers waiting for international buyers like you to take your money and run with it. Do extensive research on an Auto broker you might have found online. Ask for their physical address and location and verify through Google. Make sure all business is documented through email to protect you and your money. Do not send money to Brokers VIA Western union. Try to find a respected broker with a good history that can help you out if you plan on buying cars directly from a dealer. I honestly recommend wire transfer bank to bank for safety reasons when trying to find Cheap Car shipping to Nigeria
Age of vehicle
Grimaldi Shipping Linesdoes not accept vehicles that are older than 10 years of age. Their is other shipping lines that work around this age limit for cheap car shipping to Nigeria so don't let that discourage you.
Ground Transportation Cost
Ground Transportation Cost always seem to catch people by surprise by how much it can run up too. Depending on if its a car, suv, or truck try to purchase cars more closer to departure ports which could easily decrease total cost and increase profits if you plan on selling your vehicle once it arrives in Nigeria. This method can make it easier to ship cars Cheap to Nigeria
Departure Ports from USA to Lagos Nigeria

USA departure ports RO RO: Jacksonville,FL Galveston,TX Savannah, GA Bayonne, NJ Baltimore, MD
