Here we will see the discrepancies between prices of car in local and overseas. As you know most used cars oversees considered new car in third world countries due its neatness and quality. So these used cars are expensive locally, why?

In Ethiopia for example Vitz car can accessible in the market at cost of 600k but oversees the same car costs 1k. What the hell is going on?
Here it is the price of used cars in Ethiopia:

For example the prices are as follows:
1990 model Toyota weyane DX condition-excellent, price--350k birr

2010 model Toyota Yaris condition- excellent, price -620k

2009 model Toyota Hilux condition -excellent, price --1.5 million

Here is the price of cars from overseas:

2007 Toyota Camry price--3.9k dollar (136k birr)
Actually this car in Ethiopia is available at 900k birr

2008 Chevrolet price-5k dollar( 175k birr)
If it is available inour market probably they will sell it 900k birr

2004 Ford price 5k dollar(175k birr)
In Ethiopia similar cars are available at price of 1.5 million birr

Is it healthy?

In this blog you can even find cars with less than 800 dollar. This cars in Ethiopia are available at 30k dollars, Ethiopia is hell in this and other respect. As far as we have no capacity to manufacture vehicles to meet the demand, we should let open the market with reasonable price.

Will they allow you import a car from neighboring countries?
Kenya, Djibouti, Eritrea, Sudan??? Or ship car from Dubai

Angolebado, :mrgreen:

How many Ethiopians out of the 101 million people where 80% of them live in rural areas use cars and have the golden chance to complain about car models and car prices like the dimwitted low IQ selfish ranting baboon You? What you need is not at all a transitional government but transplantation of healthy brain. Qefoo ras!
:P :P
