Over 90% of Nigerian car buyers choose Tokunbo.
But is it really the better deal?
In Episode 06 of The Driver Seat, Brain Jotter sits down with Dexter Li, Marketing Director at Carloha Nigeria, for an honest conversation about one of the biggest decisions Nigerian car buyers face:
Tokunbo or Brand New?
Brain Jotter brings the perspective of the Nigerian buyer — someone who has experienced both sides of car ownership and understands the questions people are asking.
Dexter Li brings the industry perspective, breaking down what happens beyond the showroom: ownership costs, maintenance, warranty, servicing, repairs, and the realities of buying and owning a vehicle in Nigeria.
This isn't a debate about whether Tokunbo is bad or brand new is automatically better.
It's about asking the questions that matter before you hand over your money.
What are you really paying for?
What happens when something goes wrong?
Who is responsible?
And is the cheaper car actually cheaper in the long run?
