You can sell the R4 in Togo no problem. The laissez paisser at the border costs CFA5000 (I think), but there is no stamp in the passport so you can sell the car without having to go to customs, police etc.
R4's have done the route loads of times although I havent seen one in the desert for some time. It is possible to go Nouadhibou-Nouakchott as they have good clearance and are quite light. Tamba to the border is good tar, after that a good enough dirt road to Kayes. From Kayes to Mahina is more difficult, but should be possible in the dry season in a R4,after Mahina no problems to Bamako. The Kayes-Mahina road may have deteriorated even more after this rainy season.
