Lol. Okay that's true.
But someone like me will choose the normal Toyota over the over-hyped luxury Lexus any day any time.
If I want to buy anything luxury, I won't consider Lexus at all.

You don't seem to understand.
A thorough vin check by me, showed that the engine had water damage....that was the last report on the vehicle history, which dated back to a few months..after that...it was later tagged 'Run and drive'...on an auction coy's website....So, I assumed that the engine and trans..had been replaced...and prolly wasn't recorded.... it was a case of fraud..on the part of the auction coy....pure misrepresentation.
Ps: I intentionally attached the pic of the vehicle...if you zoom in on the extreme right corner of the windshield, you'd find the 'Run and drive' tag.
I hope you understand now?

moyoz:

Lol via a Vin website called Carfax ofcus, they charge $39

I need your Advice!

I helped a client of mine checked his VIN and the car was very okay with no accidental records whatsoever, but what shocked me is the mileage and the rapid change of oil and filter over the years..

The comprehensive VINCheck I carried out for him showed some sensitive information

1: oil and filter has been changed up to 11 times!

2. My client said the mileage he saw here in Nigeria is 100kmiles while the VIN Report is showing over 170k miles.

Please drop your advice and suggestions, is it safe for him to buy this car?

It's a 2007 Toyota Camry Pictures below

Why does this sound like all the suicide attempts you people have tried on Nigerians road.
Please people add these words to your vocabulary:
Sport and commuter vehicles
[s] Ferrari builds sport, and Toyota builds commuter.
BMW and Mercedes try to blend luxury sport and commuter in their vehicles. [/s]
Don't go hurt yourself on the road due to ignorance

RisenPhoenix:


My precise statement was 'operating age'. No self respecting police officer or judge in Nigeria will consider enforcing that law.

RisenPhoenix:


Lol. You think op is in in Malmö, Sweden?


Even in the UK and most parts of the US, 16 is the minimum age of consent and the houseboy's action is legal. Nigeria has no operating age of sexual consent. The police will laugh them out; unless of course you mean they should bribe their way to inflicting unjust suffering on an innocent boy just to satisfy their 'honour'.

I love taking on Japs at bends,as they are slowing down i am accelerating to 140km/h and at flat outs am gone.

HeavenlyBang:


If you're going to keep on being obtuse, you may as well shut up.

HeavenlyBang:


They are not tuned differently. Recommending premium is also different from requiring premium. You don't need premium on an ES350 or RX350; the 2GR-FSE on the IS350 and GS350 is a different matter, though.

HeavenlyBang:


Until you realize that Toyota uses the same engine on the Camry, Avalon, Venza, all with the same power output and it doesn't require premium on those cars.

Exponental:
Custom is just trying to rip us off. Why can't there be a short code to verify or better still, a site, insert VIN and confirm or other means that can aid perfection.

legalwealth:
It is no longer new that customs are now outrightly seizing and impounding cars/vehicles with;

1. no customs duty
2. forged customs duty
3. underpaid customs duty

To avoid buying cars/vehicles having problem with either of the 3 items listed above or to avoid getting caught unaware assuming you already bought that with forged customs document that can no longer be legally paid at moment, you must care to know the status of its customs duty.

To do that, you either;

1. Visit any nearby customs office and present to them C-number, port it was cleared and date it was cleared as stated on the customs document you have with you. Once they key the details into their system and if genuine, it will return the exact result of what you have on the document with you. You can ask them to print it out for you for future reference and also to check if the VIN of your vehicle is the exact one on the document they will print out for you.

2. Search for genuine individuals, businesses or companies that offer the service. Once you contact them, you will be asked to pay a fee usually not more than N5,000 into their bank account and as well send to them some details. Once you do, the result usually scanned copy would be sent to you via whatsapp or e-mail. Once you receive it, you can now compare it with what you have.

P.S: Make sure that the VIN of your car/vehicle is the exact one on the result they sent to you.

Warning: Do not include the VIN of your car/vehicle in the details you would send to them because they don't primarily need it.

If the details on the customs document you have, from where you gave them the details is reported to return no result, then your paper is most likely to be fake. If it returns VIN different from that of your car/vehicle, then either the VIN of your car/vehicle has been tampered with or the customs document is a forged one.

Don't make the mistake of buying a Nigerian or foreign used car/vehicle without carrying out proper customs duty verification on it because ignorance is not an excuse when it comes to law.

Baba go for your budget(2007) infact na almost the same thing with 010 (apart from engine,rear lights and headlamps,)unless u wana upgrade yours , that oil issue people complain here abt is very negligible, you may not need to top up till your next oil change. Fuel economy is very ok.

2GR-FE doesn't require premium.
