monex: You have already bought a clocked vehicle, and would have to live with the consequences, and yes you bought the car @ a high price. Take the vin check report to the dealer that sold the car to you ( he is most likely the person, that clocked the car ) |

monex: I can't imagine what would have happened assuming you bought it from a dealer on NL. Im afraid,you have to live with it. Here are few tips you can do to keep the Car up & running. - Replace engine air filter - Rotate tires - Replace engine oil and oil filter - Clean and Adjust rear brakes - Replace platinum spark plugs @ 60k miles only - Replace resistor spark plugs - Inspect the following: Ball joints and dust covers Brake lines and hoses Brake linings,drums,brake pads and discs Fuel lines and connections Fuel Tank Band and Fuel Tank Vapor vent system hoses Exhaust pipes and mountings Steering whee,linkage and boots charcoal canister Differential Oil Drive belts Drive shaft boots Fuel Tank cap gasket Steering gear box Engine Valve Clearance Transmission Fluid or Oil - Service Battery - Inspect nuts and bolts on chasis and body - Replace Automatic Transmission Fluid - Replace front wiper inserts - Replace manual Transmission oil - Oil and fuel additive https://www.nairaland.com/1118629/automobile-maintenance-menu |

Fhemmmy: Cars are clocked for 3 reasons -: (1) Misrepresenting a vehicle (to maximise profit) (2) Deceiving a potential buyer (buyer thinks they have bought a peach, but unknowingly, bought a lemon) (3) Any other reasons |

Fhemmmy, Calculusx, Monex and other car gurus I need your input here. Please I am somehow in a fix. I saw a 2006 Infiniti FX 35 (with Sport, Technology and Touring packages included) with original mileage of 131,000 miles going for $15,990. It looks clean in and out but has had 3 owners. I complained to the dealer about the mileage in relation to the price and further insisted that I would buy the car at a price of $14900. I just want to know whether I had a good deal at $14900 or I could have gotten it for a lower cost considering that it has all the option and it was equally maintained. What do you suggest would have been an ideal price for a car with options and mileage like that. Do you consider a 2006 car with mileage of 131,000 as high mileage too. Urgently awaiting your response guys. |

What do you suggest would have been an ideal price for a car with options and mileage like that. My personal opinion. I think 131,000 miles for a 7 year old car is a bit high,considering the average mile per year should be 10,000. I also think the offered price is too high in relation to present mileage. If you are prepared to drive the car till the engine drops, and you can further reduce your offer price. The purchase might be worthwhile. Also consider the miles you will add to the vehicle, and how that would affect future sales (if you buy and intend to sell @ a later date) and price obtainable. 1 Like |

Lexusgs430: The 10,000 to 12,000 mile rule should be considered average, I clocked almost 30,000 miles in 1 year of driving and I am sure such exceptions to the rule exist overseas. And at the slightest sound or notice of change in car operating parameters, I am off to fix the car, so mileage is important for aforementioned reasons, but a well-maintained vehicle (low or high mileage) and a trustworthy dealer are for me the way to go! 1 Like |
Re: Nigerians Dont Care About High Mileage? - Is It True by bellong: 9:13am On Dec 17, 2013 |
La mexx: I think the average mileage per year is even 15k and not 10k. What you should consider now is if most of the mileage are highway mileage. Some car owners purposely drive their vehicles to transverse states or coast to coast. US is a big country with vast of miles to cover. If the car is well maintained with the periodic maintenance done, its not a bad bargain. However, you can still push your luck for a $14k/$14.5 price. 1 Like |

Related and relevant question, its a Carfax 1 Owner Vehicle but it also has Accident/Damage reported but it looks good and runs good. Its a 2004 year vehicle and it has 130,000 on the odometer and there is no indication of an odometer rollback. Would you buy? |

I wouldn't buy because I have no idea of the type of accident whether it is a structural damage or another. You can always get an issue free car for the same price. |

The FX35 is a luxury SUV unlike the Highlander and Pathfinder. It can be very expensive to fix if it breaks down. I'm speaking from a friend's experience. Also a 2006 vehicle with 3 owners is a bit unsettling. You are about to be the 4th owner in 7 years. It could be that each subsequent owner discovers something unpleasant with the vehicle and gets rid of it. |

I have seen {US Auction} where high mileage Car was sold for higher value than a low mileage Car. That is where the issue of maintenance comes into play. I have concluded on my mind that mileage is just a number, so far i know the original mileage,i know which part to change or rotate at a particular mile. You can still bargain very well on the price though. |

If a detailed information of the accident is provided in the report,i can use it as my deciding factor. The mileage is average for a 9yr old Vehicle using 15,000 average miles per annum but we always ignore an important NOTE on Carfax Report '' Not all damage or accident are reported to Carfax or Auto-check''. How sure are you those with Clean Title have not had any unreported accident before 1 Like |
