I would like to tap into the collective knowledge and experience of the  
list(s) for car-related information on a territory in Western Africa on the  
Atlantic Coast.
 
My sister is in the Foreign Service and has been assigned to the US Embassy  
in Benin, Africa. She will be required to buy a car for personal 
transportation,  as no public facilities exist. My question relates to how 
different or 
similar  the cars available there are to our own in the US. This will determine 
whether  she buys something new to eventually bring with her to her next 
assignment (or  home) or something older to leave behind.
 
For example, I would guess they are LH drive, have no catalytic converters  
or emissions systems, flashers, seatbelts, etc. Does anyone have any related  
knowledge or an idea where I can find it?
 
Thanks for any help!!
