I have interest in a Ford car. I'm looking at Fusion, Focus or Taurus. But looking through Jiji, Nairaland Autos, Facebook Marketplace etc, I discovered that Nigeria used version of these cars goes for prices far below their Toyota and Honda counterparts. For instance, I have inspected a 2011 Ford fusion going for N1.4million. It was used by a lady banker. I thought it was bad but on inspection with the assistance of an expert, I discovered that it was 90% ok and that the issues it had were to change tyres and take care of a little dent at the back. Honestly I am considering buying this Nigeria used to safe some cost which I could use for other things. My mechanic told me I won't get parts but my finding revealed that the parts are so plenty in Lagos. So what are the reasons why Used Ford cars are cheaper than their Toyota and Honda counterparts in Nigeria.

Expensive parts.

You will know why it's cheap as soon as you buy it.
Jokes sha.
They are not just easy to work on when compared to the Japanese.

Because they have some problematic models.
Nigerians do little research to isolate problematic models of a brand. They all get grouped together as "useless".
Same way all Hondas are classed as "breaking legs" meanwhile only older versions of accord and crv do.

Do your research to be sure the fusion is a reliable buy before buying.

Please do not buy it, unless you want to Come back here and tell us tales of woes.Got lots of electrical issues,parts are not that readily available, difficult to get a knowledgeable mechanic for repairs and maintenances.
