From our experience in Dec 2010 and from what I've read from others crossing into Senegal:
- Entry with a carnet is no issue, regardless of age of vehicle.
- Entry with a car under 5 years of age and no carnet *should* be no problem. You get a pass-avant at the border. But you may just have to deal with hassles for bribes.
- Entry with a car over 5 years and no carnet is where it gets murky. I have no idea what the rules really say. Some pay a bribe and get a pass-avant, others get a three day transit permit, others get turned back. I think it depends which official you meet, how much you are willing to pay, and the alignment of the planets.
