Most Nigerians travel to Cotonou, the economic centre of Benin Republic, to buy their cars. You can get a budget or foreign used cars from Cotonou. The price to buy used Tokunbo cars in Nigeria is more expensive than to buy it from Cotonou. This is because the economic centre of Benin Republic gets more cars from the US and Europe. It is cheaper to transport them to Cotonou than to Lagos.
Also, it is cheaper to clear a vehicle at Cotonou than at the Lagos Port. So, used cars there are considerably cheaper. Unlike in Nigeria where many dealers sell converted cars, it is easier to get more trusted and reliable cars from Cotonou.
How to Get a Good Car from Cotonou
Below are some summarized steps on how you can get a good car from Cotonou without any problems. Be confident that these steps are legal.
- Before you travel to Cotonou to buy a car, you should do thorough research and know exactly what type of car you want to buy. You should also conduct research on the average price of second-hand tokunbo cars from Cotonou.
- You cannot travel with a bag of cash, so you have to put your money in a bank account that you can easily access when you get to Cotonou. Preferably, you should use an account with Internet banking so you can transfer your money. However, you will need to hold some cash for transport expenses and other things you will need to do on the way.
- When you get to Cotonou, the first thing you need to do is to change your Naira to Cedis (local currency). Look for a good Nigerian Bureau de Change with a fruitful exchange rate.
- You might need an agent or someone to take you around the Cotonou car market. You can also go along with a car dealer from Nigeria if you wish or you can find an honest one in Cotonou.
- You will need to have good negotiating skills to be able to save some money. As we said earlier, do research on the Price of Tokunbo cars from Cotonou before going to buy your car. You need to understand how much money you will need to take with you.
- When you are able to secure a profitable deal, you can now buy the car and start the customs paperwork. Custom papers take an average of two days to be ready. You can decide to wait until you get the papers and clear the vehicle yourself or you can ask for assistance with clearance and driving the car to Nigeria.

PRICES OF TOKUNBO CARS FROM COTONOU
The list on this article provides the current 2020 average prices of foreign used cars bought directly from Cotonou or shipped from Europe and America. Cars imported into Nigeria are generally cleaner and more expensive as most times they have been used by only one person and on good roads.
Note that prices of cars generally vary depending on the condition of the car: Its neatness, mileage, engine strength, year of manufacture and other factors, therefore, in reality, the sale price of a car might be slightly above or below the stated ranges but I have made sure that these price ranges are as accurate as possible.
The years stated in the post are the same model of a car e.g Toyota Corolla 2003 – 2005: 2003,2004 & 2005 models have the same shape but with minor differences.
PLEASE NOTE: The prices of foreign used/tokunbo cars have risen by almost double due to the increased customs tariff on imported vehicles and the high Naira to Dollar exchange rate. All prices are in Naira
