That mileage is about right. Based upon the average annual mileage of 12,000, this makes the average for a 14-year-old car 168,000. So this car is below the average.

Hi Siena.
Got a used 98 corolla for about 600large with 233,000 on the mileage. Would you say this is a fair price? Wat sorta maintenance/problems should I be expecting with such kinda vehicle?

Maintenance matters a lot by the previous owner and the prospective buyer.
I bought a 1999 Camry in 2010 with 147000 miles. I sold it just two months ago with 182000 mileage. It is still running smoothly as I service it regularly.
Am now on a 2005 GX470 with 165000 miles. I desire to rock it for the next 4-5 years.

Oga sienna, allow bybj in his own Naira slangs...... 600 large?
I would sincerely want to believe he meant Km too and not miles, otherwise, that car was a gonner at purchase...

This thread is old. But if the poster is in the US, he must be referring to 600 large bills
which means $600 in US slang (one large bill is one hundred dollars).
