TrumpedL:. There are certain factors to consider before buying a used car be it high milage. Most of the high milage car from America are highway milage resulting from frequent long distant travel. I ordered a 2006 Toyota V6 which I have been using regularly for 3yrs now without any issue and engine is still as new (silent). When I placed the order the milage was 280,000km. Although this is not a guarantee that all high milage car will serve you as mine. I will advise you better go for a low milage accident/salvage which need either door, bumper or boot replacement. WARNING! NEVER GO FOR A WATER FLOOD CAR. RUN AWAY EVEN IF THE DEAL IS GREAT. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Re: Is it Safe to Buy a Car with High Mileage? by Nobody: 8:35am On Jun 20, 2018 |
It would last better if it's a V6 engine don't buy an i4 with very high mileage. You would regret it |

DOLLARTEX: You can get the VIN or Chassis Number of the car, and use it to get the history of the car. 1. Obtain the VIN from your Vehicle 2. Contact any history check platform with the VIN. Flood damage can be hard to detect unlike accidents and other obvious damage, but it is one of the worst kinds of damage for a car. The VIN history report reveals all kinds of damage history. Accident, flood, theft, true mileage, and much more. |

Well I think it's a Nigerian thing to be checking Mileage of cars and when it's high they say the car have been overworked. Here in the state I drive on the highway to and from work makes two hours everyday and I hit over 90miles everyday which means just the highway mileage and what it means is that I get frequent maintenance and the car is in sound shape. Theres is more to a car than just the mileage....#MyTake 1 Like |

About to buy this camry sport 08, 169k Km, but car is sound and clean from US. Sometimes odometer reading doesn’t count if a car has been well driven and taken care of.

Re: Is it Safe to Buy a Car with High Mileage? by CarsGuideNG: 10:07am On Jun 20, 2018 |
aikeron: That is what we have tried to explain Sir. However verify that the mileage is in KM or in Miles. For cars from US, it should be Miles, for Canada, KM. Mileage should not be considered in isolation. It should be taken into consideration along with the rest of the vehicle history and the condition of the vehicle after thorough inspection. A 2008 Toyota Camry with 169,000 KM in 2018 can be considered very good mileage, using the 20,000 KM average yearly mileage. Congratulations on your purchase Sir. |

rozayx5: This biased opinion is why some shady Nigerian car sellers fraudulently perform odometer rollback. I once purchased a Toyota MR2 at 290,000 miles and sold it at 325,000 miles. The buyer and I still chat once in a while and the car is still going strong. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Pretty amusing to see how uninformed most Nigerians are. If I'm buying a car, mileage is the least thing I'll be looking at, especially once its past 100k mi. Most engines are built to last 250k+, and once you get past the 100k mark, what matters more is the maintenance culture of previous owners. Of course, at that point, you also start getting wear on components. Nothing major. Replace and you're good to go. |

Re: Is it Safe to Buy a Car with High Mileage? by Nobody: 12:08pm On Jun 20, 2018 |
Another point to note is too low of a mileage on a vehicle. Let me explain. If a car s rarely driven and has low mileage it could spell disaster in the long run due to rubber gaskets, o rings, etc deteriorating for lack of use. A 2005 vehicle with 25,000 miles could be worse than a 2003 vehicle with 125,000 miles. 1 Like |
