selling the car or driving back
Hi,
We were lucky to sell it to a family member for a reasonable price, but ofcourse with some family discount :-)
You have to consider that driving the car back would also mean taking the time and the money to drive it back! A two way trip means double the expenses (except for the boattrip maybe, two-way is relatively cheap). Also you'd miss income if you're not retired. Ofcourse a plane ticket also costs money, but it's cheaper to buy in Cameroon then in Europe (maybe 60% of the price).
Also driving back means you have to face the same adventure again. I'm not sure if i'd been up to it.
There's the option of shipping it back by boat, ofcourse.
Car prices in Cameroon, do not expect too much from it. Especially a car like a Landcruiser is much more valued in Algeria, Niger and Chad. A car dealer told us that our '88 Landcruiser was too new and therefor too expensive for the market.
Many regards and good luck with all preparations!
Martin
