We import high graded cars @ affordable cost as well as a guranteed mileage. We give a copy of the car title to buyers showing the original mileage and state of car before purchase in the state. We currently have the following cars with impecabble mileage and quality as follows:
T.Camry 2010: 28,700 Miles
T.Corolla 2004: 48,072 Miles
T.Camry 2007: 87, 980 Miles
H.Accord 2002: 148, 200 Miles.

However, you can't blame most dealers as the low-mileage cars are very expensive both @ d auction and Car marts in d States. For future car buyers always take your time to evaluate and analyse cars before buying them. You can give us a call @ 08121389394 for car consulting services and investment.

everything oga

Godson201333: My car got 820,763 Miles and it still runs good.

Is this thread a joke or something
Egbami oluwa! whats left in a 820,763 car? :s
I know you cant compare UK to Naij but the difference shouldn't be this much. If a car is going over 60,000 in UK no one will even look twice if its more than 100,000 clearly that's up for scrapping.
I'm not trying to be funny cos this aint funny arrol cool
No wonder many cars in my eighbourhood in Naij used to sound like giant tin milk Gbaran-Gbaran-Gbaran-Gbaran now the mystery is unravelled grin. Nigeria needs to start manufacturing too and give our people more new cars cool

This is my desire; to drive my cars to this high mileage figures.. There is no gain wasting resources buying new cars due to poor maintenance of old ones...

I know i will achieve this with my Sienna '98..
Sorry to ask, but are into transportation business? cos I got a 98 model sienna also, but it is for transport biz. The car is rugged, but my driver does not know how to handle the car.

Alenkakent: What is miliage and how do ♠ check it...does its value cause any problem to my car?
It is the readings on your odometer. You know, those numbers displaying on your dashboard usually under or close to the speedometer.It shows the total distance your car has ever travelled.

You bought it at 172,749km how come its 67000km or does ur car count backWards or what? As for the steering its typical for the car because of the age.
