Yes, this is true. I use a 2009 model and it's really noticeable. After a periodic servicing, it takes less than 5,000 miles before the oil goes down again.

I also have a 2010 for sale if you are interested in a tokunbo.

What's your location?

In my experience, this is NOT true!

I have inspected more than 45 cars in the last 3 months.

The first thing I tell the dealer is that[b] I want a vehicle with a clean title. [/b]

All the dealers, without any exception, say they have clean titles, that they don't do accidented or flood stuff etc.

And boy, were they convincing till I ran the VINs - that is when you begin to hear shameless stories such as 'we removed the front bumper and mirrors from the vehicle in the US and declared it as accidented to reduce clearing costs' etc.

Nigerian car dealers are a shameless lot and will do everything in their power to scam the uninformed.

Then again, there's the issue of mileage roll back! Gosh, these folks will not make heaven!!

At a car stand on one of my car hunting trips, I met two women who could not tell an alternator from a condenser trying to buy a foreign used corolla.

I shook my head silently as they were led to the slaughter slab

I knew, instinctively that in less than 6 months, it will climax in tears for them!

Naija car dealers, I repeat, will not see the face of the Lord!!

I am very unhappy with them.

I checked out a lot of Camry 2012/2013 VIN today, all of them where salvaged cars with 97% percent of them having substantial damages..

A lot of dead cars are in Nigeria refurbished and selling for an high price, don't fall a prey, always check your ViN.

A friend of mine bought her clean title 2006 corolla from a US based car dealer. The money she spent in total in bringing her car to abj was little above 1.8m. Nothing like "they don't come cheap", pls...most car dealers are greedy. Besides, these cars are like pure water in USA

I have a question.

I have heard that camry from 2007 to 2009 have a problem of shorting oil.

Is this a serious problem one should be worried about?


Responses will be appreciated.

promotervickky:
Need for ViNcheck, don't be scammed

promotervickky:
Don't fall to run a ViNcheck to know the measure of damage

dayveed1:
Pls what is th disadvantage of buying an accidented car even after been properly refurbished by the dealer?

promotervickky:


They are tendencies of unfinished work done by the panel beater( i know of some that the panel beaters didn't do 100%perfect), most of them come with deployed airbags which may not be properly replaced, and not only accidented cars have issues, imported cars with high mileage, and flooded cars are still a pain in the neck.
