By car to Senegal : young car or bribe?
I've been reading through posts here for the last three hours. Some really useful info here, more to the point than LP's Thorn Tree in many ways (the subdivision on Africa helps).
So after reading all this, I decided to register and post the foloowing:
I want to go by car to Senegal to sell it later on (in Gambia or wherever) which obviously is easier if the car is less than 5 yrs old. But what cars to buy then? Which types are most desired and how much can I expect to buy it for in Europe and sell it for in West-Africa?
I was originally planning to buy an early 90s Peugeot 405 for around 600€, drive to Mauretania, bribe the douanier and drive around in Sengal a bit beofre selling it in Mali or the Gambia. However, the car having 300,000 kms on the ticker and myself not having any mechanical aptitutes whatsoever, I should perhaps reconsider.
This topic seems popular and I may have overlooked relevant posts but any replies would be greatly appreciated.
