now here i was thinking you were a reasonable guy
what will i gain if i come on naira land and post a lie!
if you lived in abuja, i would have tracked you down and allowed you take
a proper inspection of my vehicle.
infact my mechanic always calls to ask if the car is still good cos the only thing i go to him for is
pads and servicing.
only recently i noticed one of the rear shock absorbers might be going bad
and i have only changed them once.
thanks to abuja for having such nice roads (well basically)
for the rougher roads i have my american muscle (ford explorer)

This thread was all about sharing mileage, with pictures, if you wish.
It's just become a random car discussion.

Siena,

This has been quite an interesting Thread, with a most interesting intro.
Quite some education when making specific purchase decision for cars used outside Nigeria, because it is tough getting useful data on motorway vs. intra-city based mileage content or impacts - except if readers are contemplating going for vehicles used by local transport companies (KSTA, Midwest lines, Crosslines, RTC, Agofure etc.) shocked grin

I see you are impatient with current drift, so let me help stabilise your adrenaline rush wink
I'll proffer some information (note that in NGR you don't get zero mileages for cars delivered outside Lagos), as follows:

Outgoing
Car: 2001 VW Polo Classic 1.6.
Mileage (Km) when purchased: ~600 km Dec 2002.
Mileage (Km) as at now: ~40,000 km.

Current
Car: 2006 Honda Accord.
Mileage (Km) when purchased: ~600 km Dec 2006.
Mileage (Km) as at now: Almost 15,000 km.

Car: 2008 Hyundai Accent.
Mileage (Km) when purchased: 512 km May 2008.
Mileage (Km) as at now: ~1,100 km.

Incoming - is Jenju out there? tongue
Car: 2004 Acura MDX
Mileage (Km) when purchased: ~36,000 km May 2008
Mileage (Km) as at now: ~36,000 km?

So wetin next?
I suppose expect some analyses for wetin I get, or to obtain certificate? embarassed

Yes, and answers would derail the thread further.  angry

Because that's what the thread was all about.  cheesy

Where did I insult you? 
I was merely telling you to start a seperate thread.

icemann:

@ siena
No problem, i will stay off ALL UR THREADS

Aww, c'mon! Don't be such a big girl's blouse!  shocked
Still, your choice.

Bros,

Actually I thought I was missing the purpose of the Thread ("So, please post your mileage and history, nothing more.
You can post a picture of your odometer if you wish"wink, considering your background as one of our technical consultants   wink 

I thought there was a reason for requested sharing, ala possible further application of complex integrative techniques in profiling such vehicles   grin

But rereading the originating contribution over, it is clearer now that all you need are posts on mileages and histories for owned vehicles. "Nothing more"!  embarassed
