xnsandrxns:your mileage is stored on your ECU, unless this has been changed. So your service history will show the real mileage of the car. |

fullstreets: It boils down to Transparency on the part of the Dealer and also been realistic on the part of the buyer. We importers know how these things works. Look at the links, there is more than what meets the eye in importation of Cars. So far so good, his Vehicle is up n running with no issue. Some will tell you they have a budget of 3m for 2010 Highlander. Except if he point a gun on someone's head https://www.nairaland.com/3930958/sold....tin-can-cleared-2009-toyota-camry https://www.nairaland.com/3880864/sold...tin-can-cleared-2010-toyota-corolla https://www.nairaland.com/3856210/sold...tin-can-cleared-2007-toyota-rav-4 If I go by autocheck report of these vehicles, I won't move an inch to buy them. You will be surprised some were just coupled with their parts and are back on the Road |

I ordered Toyota highlander 2006 model from a lagos car dealer in 2014 and the mileage was about 87,000. They assured me that everything about the car was in perfect condition. I independently did a car fax on the car and found out the following. Undercarriage accident, side fender accident. Mileage 126,000. When I showed the picture and car fax to the dealer using the Vin no. he was shocked. Though I eventually bought the car and no issues since then. I saw the accident signs and the perfection of repainting was so perfect. Most cars sold in Nigeria are salvage cars or accidented though you could be lucky. 1 Like

It will not be a problem if you know what to look for: 1. Unrealistic odometer reading. 10 years vehicle with 60k miles? Yeah right. 2. Accidented and resprayed vehicless are easy to tell. 3. Flooded vehicles are easy to detect. If in doubt, pay an eagle-eyed inspector to take a look. \ 1 Like |

1. They Bring a registered 2010 model of a car, upgrade it by changing the headlamps,bumper,fender and tail lights. and now pronounce it to be 2016 mode or even latestl. making twice the money they bought the car. gulible buyers will just fall for it. |

profsomebody: It's takes some marketing strategy. I don't have a car lot but I have different car dealers that I work with. I usually sell at cheaper prices, there are lot of competitions out there so the only way to win and win big is to sell cheap and even at that I still make reasonable returns. I sometimes don't make my projected return on some vehicles but as long as I am breaking even I let go and sometimes I have more than my projected returns. So it's kinda fun when you understand this concept. 3 Likes 1 Share |

dandollar1: Any dealer importing such vehicles with destroyed chasis should be jailed when caught. Also! I personally think that any car with more than 1 accident should be a No No because report will only show pictures of the second accident. |

I once googled my car VIN and it linked me to a website my car was offered for sale. Had been involved in 2 head on accidents. I shock. Car has given no issues in 2 years sha.i can tell you the basic problem is the poor economy ...if i may ask , how much did you buy the car ? if you had seen that car for the proper amount , assuming the dealer didnt rip you off ,most Nigerians cannot afford it .. that explains the reason Nigeria is the dumping ground. Nigerians want to drive big cars , at all cost , so seeing one with a cheaper cost than the usual is always enticing ...but it cannot be at that price after importation and duties paid , if it has not been rejected by the 'proper ' economies . |
