Sell it anywhere but not in Bamako, too many crooks. The grand marché is not a happy place.
But if you must sell it in Bamako, the people in and around the auberges like Sleeping Camel can help you.

That tip was from a taximan in Ouaga. I know some people, that helps of course. I can sell my car in Bobo, Ouaga and even Dori, if I dare go there.

It's always nice to strike a conversation with a taximan, right, selling it as facts - is another matter. As things stand there is virtually NO LPG cars in Burkina, except for some taxis Gasoline cars, on the other hand are very much in demand: rule of the thumb, sell your diesel cars in Mauri or Mali, save your petrol cars for Burkina. Some hot items: toyota avensis 1.8 vvti, other petrol yota's also sell well, berlingo, cangoo, partner. Cheers Priffe, see you in Dori ))))))))))

Well you're damn right I should visit Burkina more often; didnt make it this year.
From my experience Burkina prefer diesel; if you go to Niger it is a toss-up.
Are you in Burkina?

If you refer to personal cars - Burkina definitely prefers petrol to diesel

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
