Finally Getting An 09/010 Corolla. Advice by Selfkontrol: 7:16am On Mar 03, 2020
So guys few days ago I posted about an 08 Honda Civic I wanted to get and got some advice. Thanks everyone for your input. Well I contacted the owner and asked why he was selling and he told me the car is low and his area has bad road and that gave me a rethink. For sure I know the car is low but didn’t think It’s that low that would make an owner want to sell it.

The owner lives in port Harcourt and I live in port harcourt myself and the roads here are not all perfect and besides that I want to use the car partly for bolt business and you never can tell where a customer would take you so that justifies my reason for letting it go. So after reading many threads on ‘car talks section’, I’m finally going for an 09/010 Corolla but a Nigerian used one because to get direct Belgium of same model is around 1.8-2m and way out of my budget.

I’m checking out two and they are going for 1.3 and 1.4 respectively. I’m going with a good mechanic today and check everything and also FRSC to verify it’s Authenticity plus other tips I read on here.

I know we’re like family here I need all the advice pls because this would be my first car thank you

Why? Unless badly damaged or abused. It is not a complicated or complex car to fix and return it to standard.

85% of 2003-7 coros in naija are badly abused, mostly its better to buy a toks than fix naija used.

this one is 09/010 so my fear of it being previously used for Uber is out and you’re right about the 03-07. It’s mostly Uber n bolt cars
