Looking to get a car and your budget is around N10 million? This is your ultimate guide to cars you can buy for (about) 10 million naira.

If you are looking to buy a 2011 Honda Crosstour for example, the price varies depending on whether you intend to buy a car that has been used in Nigeria, you are buying an imported car that has not been previously registered or used in Nigeria, or you are buying the car in the United States of America and shipping it to Nigeria.

Buying from an accredited dealer in the USA means you are buying a very clean car with little possibility of a hidden major fault. But this is much more expensive; after you add shipping and customs clearing costs your super clean 2011 Honda Crosstour may be in the region of N18 to N20 million. We have presented you with all possible options.

Imported cars in Nigeria now are mostly “accidented cars” that have been repaired; you get them at a good bargain compared to imported “non-accidented” vehicles. But make sure you get an expert to check the car out and also trace the history and check the nature of the accident the car suffered; some damages, e.g. cars salvaged from floods or cracks on the engine bloc, may end up making your new car unusable after 3 or 6 months.

Also, according to car dealers we spoke with, the location of use may also significantly affect the price of Nigerian used cars- Nigerian used cars sold in Lagos may be cheaper than those sold in other states because they tend to be “well-worn”. Nigerian-used cars may be your best bet if you can find one that has been used carefully; no matter how good the condition is, the “status” of Nigerian-used limits the price it commands.
