How WATER will Damage your engine no matter the type of Car 😭
Some cars are expensive because they are genuinely exceptional. Others are expensive because Nigerians have decided they are the safest, smartest, or most desirable choice. In today's Nigerian used car market, reputation can sometimes add millions to a vehicle's price. A Toyota badge. A Lexus reputation. A Mercedes-Benz image. A car's popularity can sometimes make buyers pay far more than the actual value they are getting. In this episode of 234drive, Crank breaks down 10 Tokunbo cars in Nigeria that may be overpriced compared to the alternatives available. We are not saying these cars are bad. Many of them are excellent vehicles. The question is: Are they worth the money Nigerians are currently paying for them? From the Toyota Corolla that has become expensive because of Uber demand, to the Toyota RAV4 carrying the famous "Toyota Tax," the Lexus RX350 that Nigerians consider the safest luxury SUV choice, and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class where buyers are paying heavily for status and image... We examine why these cars command such high prices and what smarter alternatives you can consider.
