so thats where all those "Cash For Clunkers" cars went too....

Obama's stimulating the African economy.... Same reason no Ebola flight restrictions. We have to be supremely concerned with Africa's economy.

I just replaced my wife's Lexus RX a few weeks ago.
It looked just like the white one in the screenshot above, only that one seems in slightly better shape :rofl:

Many of them stolen?

Huge problem with auto theft groups..within hours of being stolen the cars are in a container over the ocean.

Good watch. Crazy to see just how lucrative this is.

Cool to see the rows of thousands of foreign cars side by side.
US market cars, European market cars, Japanese market cars - all together.

I have always found African car culture very interesting.
It is a place where old Benzes and Peugeots are still king.

Let's see how long that lasts with this new phenomenon.
