Used vehicle compensation can be 'following large mis-selling scandal'

Used Cars Full Of Used Electronics Set Sail For NigeriaEnlarge this image toggle caption Kristian Buus/Corbis via Getty Images Kristian Buus/Corbis via Getty ImagesLower-income countries get a lot of old stuff from the U.S. and Europe. They routinely check containers full of used electronic equipment but usually do not check the inside of used cars. Because it is against the law to ship used nonfunctional electronic equipment to countries that don't have safe facilities to dispose of any toxic waste from these products. The new report found that at least 26 percent of UEEE sent to Nigeria is e-waste, or discarded electronic equipment not intended for re-use. About 55 percent of the used vehicles entering Nigerian ports carry UEEE.

The Safest And Most Reliable Used Cars For Young Drivers

>Whether you have a kid graduating college or high school in the coming weeks or just want to accommodate a son or daughter with a freshly minted driver's license, finding the best used car for the money can be a difficult proposition. For starters, it's not particularly wise to cheap out and choose a "beater" used car, since older vehicles tend to be a crapshoot in terms of reliability, and they usually many lack important safety features. Though they dropped slightly last year, highway fatalities are still up by around 6% since 2015; the National Safety Council estimates 40,100 people were killed on U.S. roads during 2017. In addition, all earned four- or five-star overall ratings for frontal- and side-crash protection in tests conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. And at that, all are reasonably affordable, starting at just over $8,000 in good condition and with average mileage.
