As a car dealer you are, don't you think is better to tell your clients truth about the car you want to sell than reducing the mileage which is fraud?

I can only speak for myself in this case. I disclose every detail of whatever I sell whether minor or severe including pre-purchase pictures. I remember vividly when I started full disclosure including Vin Reports here on NL, I was rebuffed by my fellow dealers but where are they today? Disclosing is one thing, sellers understanding is another thing.
I sold a Clean Title 04 Corolla with 110,000 miles last week, to my surprise the buyer insists I change the mileage to 60,000 miles, all my explanation turned deaf ears. Will such person buy a Vehicle with 250,000 miles? Absolutely not.
See how neat the attached Camry is, 1 Owner with 215,000 highway miles. It may interest you the competition I faced before winning the bid. Ironically, these type of Cars doesn't come cheap because owner always maintain them well. It will be advertised and Sell here on NL

What you don't know is NL is a traffic driven forum. There was no competitor 10 years ago but now we have the likes of olx,cheki and jiji who are giving NL a run for his money but they fail to understand people like me are addicted to NL.
When rules are too stringent, attention and traffic shifts to other websites, that is why such rule will NEVER see the light of the day because it affects oga's pocket. I could remember how we fought to ensure our adverts stay in front page then. I can confidently tell you soo many great people has left NL or rather visit NL once in a blue moon unlike before.
NL design is simple, have so many unique factors and above all it's educative and interactive.

The issue is that we Nigerians want low mileage cars at cheap rate. There is nothing wrong with purchasing a high mileage clean title car. That is what I did 5 years ago. I bought a clean title car from a dealer via nairaland with mileage of 193k as at the time. This is now 5 years and no major issue. See pics of my Camry which I am still rocking below.

I keep telling people mileage is just a number. It doesn't determine the performance of a Vehicle. Maintenance is the key. Most Cars with high mileage are Clean Title Cars 1 Owner with highway miles.
This is a bitter truth they won't tell you but will be quick to invade people's thread asking for Vin. How many people can interpret or understand Vin Report. Go to Dubai and see 2017 Camry with 300,000 miles in just 1 year and still in top shape but trust Nigerians, the moment they see mileage above 150,000 they rule-out the Car. This gives room for Dealers to rollback odometer
