Don't run coming to me saying its 6months used,used by a banker,first body, non acccidented. Once I see the engine and the boot,with the rooftop,I know hwlow long the car don dey abused. Ah don't forget mechanic hands stains that even car wash cannot wipe. Shine ya eyes man. If its a foreign car, run a check up on the VIN,I prefer a fender damaged accident toks car,to a madly accidented repackaged toks car. I have seen enough already,the last I saw was a glk that had chassis damage,engine damage,cluster damage, irreparable,but shockingly it appeared on jiji as toks

Most of us watch out for cars with good and neat engine before buying a car but truly truly I say to you, something worst is under, always check if the car has not been infected by rust, they said it is usually found in vehicles from Canada.

How many people do you think can afford that??

Anyone who can't afford 3k for VIN check has no business owning a car. Let the person take whatever he sees like that that.

Oga, las las, they're almost the same price.
A car dealer in Texas I know sold to me at the same price with the prize in our market here.
Dealership in the U.S sells cars at lower prices the shipping and customs brings the price to the same level with out dealers here.

For U.S car dealers the prices depends on the mileage on the car.
The lower the mileage, the higher the price.
Higher mileage, lower price.

Nice one. I've had bitter experience, don't consider the cost of the VIN check, it's for your own good.
Close eye do am. Even if you have to check for every car.
One can also copy and paste VIN on theses Savage websites to locate the particular vehicle in the savage site, it's another way of checking for free. That's if that particular car was displayed on that site before it got to Nigeria.

I think most golf 3 were made in 1993-1995...i don't think any was made in the millennium though. the guy is feeling Yaris will be too expensive to maintain. Yes exactly..the small Toyota Yaris like d one in ur picture above ...

He should do a market research in spare parts for Yaris. It's a Toyota car, why does he think it would be too expensive to maintain.
I'd go for YARIS. if these are the two options.

Not always true, a 2003 model car can be continuously produced over a span of 5 years or more. So a unit can be produced in 2008 even though the model was launched in 2003.

A month old?

If its a 2003 model, for instance, its 18 years old. A 2010 model is 11 years old.

Buy a can of chilled Heineken, take a seat and let that sink in for a while.

Well, demands can make them produce year 2003 car in even 2010..

Cars are not phones, even phones are still produced for sometime before the company stops producing a particular model. I remember my mum’s Mercedes w124 popularly called V-boot. The w124 was launched in 1985 or so and it was produced till 1997 in Germany, India etc..the batch number and year of my mum’s car was 1989.

Why not avail yourself of a simple google search?? You will see the year a particular model was launched and the year of discontinuation! You guys have smartphones but to use it for the simplest of information is huge task.
