Assuming the car had done 300,000 miles, 180,000 miles removes any element of suspicion...........

Nope!!! 60 - 100k is M.0... Nigerians generally believe anything over 100k is scrap, so dealers give them what they want.. 150k to 300k means the same thing to must Nigerians
You can imagine somebody looking for a 2003 corolla or camry Pencil light with less than 100k miles
We have seen on nairaland.. 350k reduced to less than 100k

Do you honestly trust a car dealer and fully understand the way they think?.....

On this same nairaland, i have seen a vehicle originally on 257,000, clocked back to under 45,000..........

Trust a car dealer? Never ever

I told you.. 99.5% it's always below 100k miles

you really have time arguing with that guy. His submissions are thrash.

If it was sold at an auction site, what's the primary and secondary loss on the vehicle?

If its nothing serious there's a very high likelihood the 2AZ engine in that car is already having oil shortage issues...

You nailed it. Buy a 2AZ-FE above 150k miles at your own risk.

I used as reference, to justify your position. But i have seen the opposite........

May the Lord deliver us from the thrash parade..... How does my trashy contribution affect your life...........

He is probably full of thrash, to have the special ability, to identify another thrash.......

I still laugh at people who thinks odometer makes a good car in this 2019.
I've driven a 2012 camry with 360k miles driving like a dream.
And a 130k miles naija used of same vehicle wasn't so stable and quiet

It's not about odometer reading for me, but price vs reading........

The price should reflect the reading for me.... A price i justify wrong, might be deemed right by another.........

engrrichie92:
Mechanic says it doesn't matter, certified the engine solid...

Test driven the car...feels sharp
Direct Toks from US...the car is really clean
My mechanic kept reassuring me that mileage doesn't matter (he doesnt know the seller at all)

Bought the car 2.1m already...i can still return it though
But the mileage is scary.. .180k

What do you guys think?
Autojosh and others ...please your experience is needed

Model: Toyota Camry 08/09...

It doesn't matter
The car can easily reach 500k miles if we'll maintained
What matters is maintenance.
It's ppl like you that make car dealers roll back odometer bc of too much emphasis on odometer

This is where comprehensive VIN check is important.
Most Camrys (in the US) that had this defect were recalled and their piston rings/pistons were replaced under warranty.
If this vehicle was recalled and piston rings were replaced under warranty, then the owner has nothing to fear.

the guy u quoted

jossytech:
I saw 195k miles at 1.980 and run, that 180k miles is 289681 km, man, the vehicle is over used, that common to US Vehicles, American used vehicles like hell, i opt in for Canada which is 95k KM (61k miles)@1850. d 2.1 is much engine n most part already weak just get ready for major issue, just replace dont repair and use OEM

The car model year must be 2018

bravolad:


This is also not correct. When a car is well maintained, resale value is retained regardless of mileage. When I sell my personally used cars, they don’t come cheap. I sold my 2004 sienna of over 200,000 miles 1.5 after 5 years of use. They buyer practically begged me at that price. It was much better than most of the Toks being sold in the market.

For ur information, I use OEM parts & never replaced parts twice. So when selling, I factor in the state of the car.

Used in nigeria for 5years and better than toks .

Lexusgs430:


Oya let me use myself as an example........ Would i buy this car for 2.1?.... NO

1.8 would be my maximum offer..... But make OP post pictures of this Toyota (i hope it has leather seats and heated seats)...............

Shipping and duty alone.
Leave it at 900k

Buying the car plus auction fees, sometimes you get charged fork lift $400 incase vehicle acts up.
As little as flat tyre can make them fork the car.
At the end car comes here with unexpected issue maybe engine knock.
Then consider the rest. Most sellers who sell their camry for 2.1 or 2m accident or no accident , are just in haste to sell and import another , because the market is filled with the car so no point in keeping it at hand for long .
Their gain sometimes is not more than 200k.
Or 150k.

Full time dealer still sells for 2.5m last non negotiable.
