I Need Advice by donvoice(m): 4:05pm On May 15
I travelled last weekend to Benin for my boss father’s burial and I can certainly say Benin people get doings.

One of the things that caught my attention was the Toyota Yaris car being used for transportation. I made enquiry about it and I was told its around #1m.

I was relaxing after lunch break and surfing through my facebook account when I stumble on a Port-Harcourt page where they are advertising different cars.
I scrolled down and I saw 2006 model of the same Toyota Yaris car but for 650k. The body and interior seems good to me and I made a move to call the number attached only for the lady to tell me the vehicle is at Seme Border after Badagry in Lagos. She said I can come for it or I pay 35k for fuel and it will be deposited to my door step.
Sending anymore is totally out of it for me because I don’t trust anyone but I have some weird feelings about it all which I will like you to kindly enlighten me on. My fears and concerns are;
1. Is that how cheap cars are right now or is it because its at the border?
2. Will I be duped if I pay the 35k or I should trust the process?
3. How safe am I if I travel down to the said location for the car?
4. Can I possibly get a Tokunbo car at that rate anywhere in Nigeria?

Kindly give me your candid advice please. Thank you
