According to CarandDriver, the car's starting price is $528,765 (N637,940,167.08).

Speaking with Aanu, who bought a Toyota RAV 4 in 2019, he said though custom duty on his vehicle was not high, it seemed to have increased in recent years.

"What scares people from getting cars from auction sites from abroad is what they may end up paying much to clear it at the port. My RAV 4 customs duty was not much. Perhaps I was lucky. What people pay now is now very high."
