What Are The Implications Of Purchasing A Car With Replace Engine ? by aboyaji(m): 11:50pm On Nov 04, 2018
There's a 2008 Rav4 I got interested in. But the seller honestly told me that the engine was replaced.
Now, from the physical analysis of the car, it's still like tokumbo. The interior is spotless. The exterior is like a waterfall. The engine bay is as clean and neat and tidy as a tokumbo car. The new and replaced engine is very neat, no dent so far.

But I'm yet to try it out. But I'm sceptical.

Please, what are the dangers? Price is 2m.

Get a police extract for the new engine, otherwise you maybe in big trouble if the car is stolen

The engine was recently replaced. That I'm sure. How about the price tag of 2m, does it need reviewing?

Haha, what a sarcastic statement!

With respect to my discretion, I just found out it has variants: 4 cylinders and V6. And the one I'm talking about is the 4 cylinders variant on that price. And it's a RESISTERED one.

Gazzuzz, please you're invited.

A welder guy mocked us the week my friend and I bought a Camry just two weeks ago. He saw us at a fuel station trying to get a refill. But we eventually picked one of our guys prior getting the refill. So, this new guy we picked happened to volunteer himself by checking the fuel metre dispensing the fuel in our car and also helped in closing the fuel inlet cover after the purchase. Then, my friend who owned the car paid the sales person afterward. So, oblivious of us, this welder guy was somewhere starring as all the event took place. As we brought the car to his garage for maintenance, he asked us "Abeg how many una dey get this car?, una reach 5?"
Then, he started analysing everything to us which made us burst into laughter.
