lerico:

house, this is a 2005 corolla not 2008 and the price is outrageous, this car goes for 2.1

Mr Lerico aka Nairaland's-Autosection's-Resident-Expert-Number 3, can I pick your brain Sir, I don't even know if I would not be told off for having the audacity to address an expert of your standing but if you don't ask you don't get so here goes, How much does a 2008 Corolla go for?

If a 2005 Corolla costs 2.1 miller, is it preposterous for a 2008 to have a "asking price" of 2.6 million? I am not defending Carshopper, far from it, I am only just asking innocent questions, my nosey self can't help it

Infact to show you that I am not on his side, I am remonstrating with him to watch the way he talks to you guys and respect you, IT IS NOT EASY BEING AN EXPERT and we should not be biting the hands feeding us, we highly appreciate you expert input around here Sir

@lerico, the chassis number (VIN) posted here is that of a 2008 model car. I repost a link to the autocheck report below:
