20th of December (a sat) seller reminds me that car is still available. Personally I thought it had been sold (as I was not eager to go see it )

It was about 4pm and I was not doing much so I took a trip to his location, driving in my own vehicle .

When ever I'm serious about a purchase I take public transportation knowing fully well I'll be driving it away, but this day was different, I said let's just go and see this pile of trash, reject it and drive back home.

Got to location in isolo, it was easy to find, vehicle looked like it had not moved in months! Body was in fair condition , only had a really bad rear bumper , the interior was dirty! But nothing Eze couldn't clean up, the engine bay was as red as ikorodu mud could be with cobwebs , but interestingly no wires flying up and down. Opened the radiator and saw fresh coolant, Engine oil dip stick I saw almost clean engine oil at normal level, transmission oil dipstick was at normal level and very bright pink!

At this point let me give you a few tips, 9/10 times, if you go inspect a registered car and the transmission oil is new, car is battling a transmission issue .

At this point I asked the seller if the car could start (battery was in the car but not connected), to my surprise he said yes, in my mind I said NEVER!

Installs battery terminal, shifts car into neutral (didn't start in park) cranks and car came to life on first crank!

I almost clapped for it but as a semi ipob, you have to keep a disappointed face during car deals to get a good bargain, so I comported my self and remained in character (make i no loose guard).

Went behind with the engine running, there was no smoke , engine was a bit noisy but not the expected bearing noises, rollers belts and possibly alternator or compressor bearings, but nothing sinister.

Mileage 92,000km (57,000miles)

Underbody filled with mud but no visible violent rust.

Time for due diligence.

With the current plate number series, I knew vehicle had passed thru more than one hand in 2020, with the engine running (I was still amazed) i flipped thru the scrips (paper work) while watching body language and asking relevant questions (e no go make sense to enter crime fighters on Kia Rio)

Before I forget, I was impressed with the wheels, had nice rims but very bad tyres (I thought they were 14" stock)

Messaged my buddy in licensing to confirm if the change of ownership was properly done or if the vin was modified, quick comparison and it was a match and no one was looking for it (not stolen)

Paper work intact time to move the car.

I did not take a lot of pics during inspection so manage what I have plx.
