Is anyone selling their used car or do you know someone who is? I am currently in Abidjan and found a job in Plateau. Public transportation is not too reliable and "taxi compteurs" can be expensive. I am looking for a dependable used car to buy as soon as possible. No more than $4000. Please let me know if you can help.

Hello!
Unfortunatly we are not selling ours but you may find some announcements about selling a second hand cars in big supersmarkets on information desk which is just next to the section where you normally deposit your stuff.
Taxes are really expensive but you can negotiate with them. I normaly ask the locals how much they would pay to go from point A to point B and this is the money I usually pay to a taxi driver which can be half from what the machine would count.
Can I ask you, what kind of job did you find? Cos I am trying to get one and my French is already like intermediate level, but it just doesnt work. There are lots of people here who are looking for job, maybe we should share our experience of how to get a job being an english speaker?
Thanks in advance,

Best regards,
Tamara

Thank you Tamara, I'll check on that. My situation is a little different. I am a naturalized American but originally, I am from the Ivory Coast. So I speak french fluently. But even with that it wasn't easy finding a job...
