Has anyone shipped a car to West Africa from the US, specifically Abidjan? What kind of shipping costs did you pay? (Not counting tariffs, unless if you would like to share)

I am hearing shipping from the east coast you shouldn't be paying more than 1200 to 1300 for a sedan, but am curious if anyone does this as a business and would like to share some info.

But seriously, I doubt many people on this forum have shipped a car from the east coast to Abidjan.

Abuja is in Nigeria. Abidjan is in Cote d'Ivoire.

I actually Googled Abidjan before I posted the Nigera pic to see where it was, but I don't think there are any Cote d'Ivoire memes floating around the internet.

Thanks. I feel like I'm being jerked around. I know people have said they've done it for 1200-1300, but am having a hard time making the same negotiations myself. Lowest I've got was around 1800-1900, but I've got no real connects in the shipping industry.

Anyone want to bet $5 that car won't make to Nigeria.

When did this forum become full of 5th graders?
