The cheapest Toyota here is $5,800 against $11,000 for the cheapest Honda. A typical Toyota runs $8,500, a typical Honda $15,000. The catalogue holds 62 on the Toyota side and 6 on the Honda side. Add about $2,250 for sea freight to a West African port; import duty and clearance are separate and paid by the buyer on arrival. Both are Japanese cars built in China by local joint ventures, and both are serviceable anywhere in West Africa, so this is a narrower question than it looks. Toyota is the deeper catalogue here and the easier resale, because it is the default used car across the region. Honda is usually the better drive for the money and is just as well supported by the parts trade. If you are buying to resell, Toyota. If you are buying to keep, take whichever individual car is in better condition.

Toyota. The default used car across West Africa, which makes it the easiest of any make on this site to resell.
Honda. Built in China by Honda’s joint ventures, as well supported by the parts trade, usually the keener drive.
“Typical” is the median, not the average: a make spanning an older sedan and a current flagship has no meaningful average. “With freight” adds a flat sea-freight estimate to a West African port; import duty, customs clearance and inland delivery are paid by the buyer on arrival.

Toyota and Honda, by a wide margin: both have been sold across the region for decades and the independent parts trade already stocks them. Chinese makes are newer to the market, so plan on ordering service parts with the car or through an importer rather than finding them locally.
Because Chinese-market cars are left-hand drive. Japan builds right-hand drive for its own market, which rules those cars out of Nigeria, Ghana and most of West Africa whatever the price.
All are used, bought from the Chinese domestic market. Each one is a specific vehicle with its own mileage and history, inspected before purchase, and the report goes out with the quote rather than being published on the listing.
No. Every figure here covers the goods and the sea freight to your port of discharge. Import duty, clearance and inland delivery are paid by the buyer on arrival, and the rate depends on your country.
No. The site takes no payment and holds no deposit. A request for quote creates no obligation, and nothing is charged until terms are agreed directly with a sourcing manager.
