Hi There,
This is my experience. Last summer i drove a small nissan micra to Nouackchott.
There is a camping-place, I don't remeber the name, but the lady who runs the place is called Olivia. Ask arround in the city. There they have many contacts with car-buyers. Even the husband of olivia buys cars...
To have an idea of the value of the car i drove arround and did some talks with car-buyers in town ( ask arround, for exemple at the gasstation...) there i found out that the value was 800 euro ( smal and old car, and not a diesel. In the campingsite they gave me the same price for it. In euro's !
They also take care of the stamp you need in your paspoort. Leaving Mauretania, to Senegal, the costums did gave me some problems becouse I would need some kind of a white paper form... but then again : a 10 euro gift opens many doors ...
In Mali the value of a car is ofcourse higher...
So, for my opinion, it worked well !
a few years ago i sold a hondaXL125 bike in bamako. that bike I bought a few months before and drove it from Ghana tot Bamako. In Bamako, I worked together with some young guys, so they could look for a buyer. If you make a very clear agreement : "the one who find a buyer, gets a commision" then there is no problem...
