Go for the 2006 corolla first body...ensure you do your due deligence before buying to avoid buying a stolen car. Today a client visited me and she really need a baby boy. After making some contact, they brought one to me which the client love....I did my due diligence and all document were intact and I even called the owner with his number on the allocation paper and proof of ownership certificate. Already my 50k is guaranteed but suddenly I noticed a red flag that made me remove my hand from the deal . The owner sent his mechanic to help him sell the car...he came with photocopies of the document...I demanded for the original just for sighting and he claimed owner promise to release the original document once one has hit his account....That's a big red flag. When I called owner, he confirmed exactly the statement from his mechanic ....I now demanded for his account number which must tally with the name on the particulars , that was when he adviced me to pay to his mechanic .....that he will collect cash from him.....I laughed out loud cos that's a big red flag ...I called him again , but this time with a question he couldn't answer convincingly .....I asked him since you can trust your mechanic with your money why didn't you trust him with the original papers ....infact that was how I advice my client to forget about that car before sars starts knocking on our door. So many innocent people have fallen victim of scam ....majority of them are here and they hate anyone exposing them ....some have no reputation here and their profile are just new... For someone that has been here for 10 years plus , I am in a better position to keep on alerting people ....especially people that can't even know what car particulars is. Buying a use car comes with lots of security concern ....Take along with you someone knowledgeable and trusted ...This is my advice to you.

My bro, nobody including car guru can tell u to go for this particular one without physical inspection. You can contact Gazuzz, T Pound for physical inspection if u are in Lagos but the only thing i can do for u, is to help u check the car history from abroad cos the mileage u quoted may not be ACTUAL MILLEAGE. Send me the VIN number of the two car. PHYSICAL INSPECTION IS VERY VITAL. I rest my case. LOBATAN!
