During the tour, prices were mostly quoted in CFA francs, but when converted, the numbers caught attention.
LuxVroomGuy shared some prices of Togo cars
For example, a 2017 Toyota Venza and a 2013 Toyota Venza, both listed at 6.6 million CFA, translate to roughly GH¢160,000 to GH¢170,000, depending on the exchange rate at the time.
He also showed a 2017 Toyota Highlander and a 2022 Hyundai Tucson, each priced at 12.5 million CFA, which is around GH¢300,000 to GH¢320,000.
According to the video, these prices were presented as a full package, covering transit and delivery into Ghana, something that could make the process easier for buyers who do not want to handle logistics themselves.
LuxVroomGuy moved through over ten major car parks, displaying different types of vehicles, including sedans and SUVs from brands like Toyota, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, and Kia.
He also highlighted the role of Lebanese dealers, who are said to dominate a large part of Togo’s used car trade, and introduced a transit agent known as Mr Ugo, who helps move vehicles across the border into Ghana.
Despite mentioning that he was not feeling too well during the trip, he still completed the tour and shared the experience with his audience.

While Togo is gradually becoming an option for sourcing cars, buyers are still encouraged to factor in additional costs such as import duty, registration, and possible repairs once the vehicle arrives in Ghana.
As interest in used cars continues to grow, insights like this are helping buyers explore alternatives, but careful decision-making remains key.
