kingreign: Sometime when we are surrounded by the wrong things it is hard to understand what the right thing is. As a people we now shop for cars from the dumpster of automobile and we can't see past the J in front of us because we have attached too much value to it. We should not be talking about this. As a group that should be the wealthiest black nation there are better things in this world 1 Like |

otipoju: People just like arguing unnecessarily The guy himself will not go near a low mileage car on auction because oyinbo no go allow am buy am. They bid them through the roof. The ones they leave for us are the ones beyond 150k miles. So the oyinbo people know how relevant mileage is but come here on nairaland you start hearing how maintenance is the main thing as if low mileage vehicles don't get maintained. Na only high mileage ones dem dey maintain. I will not use my money to buy a car significantly above 150,000 miles. 1 Like |

otipoju:I bought my 2003 Lexus Gx470 a at 243k miles. It has 280k now. Your problem is crass ignorance. An SUV runs an average of 15k miles per year. You will be a very silly man buying an 18yr old SUV and expect mileage of less than 100k which your delusional likes always prefer. Average for an 18yr old SUV is 270k miles. If you get 242k miles, it's below average and so it's good. Ignorance will kill you. Your type will end up with scrap that was rolled back to less than 100k miles. 5 Likes |

chukel: So as dense as you are you dont know that the service records of a vehicle that will detail the car mileage when it was brought for service can be obtained with simply the VIN number. I dont know wether you know who you are talking to but i worked in Auto Insurance Claims Adjusting for at least 3 years. A car at 500 000 miles will still run. We are TV alkning about mileage in relation to wear and tear and as such affecting the price of the car. As i dey now any car less than 2017 model feels outdated to me with the DAT technology in newer versions of cars....not to talk of car of 18 years ago. Why would i go to market and buy a car of 242k miles? |

otipoju:you are very dense. Very empty. You can't even intelligently hold a discussion. The thread is about an 18yr old car with a mileage of 242k. Now swerve dullard. By your username, I should probably know you are a nonentity who worked at auto insurance claim. Does that make you knowledgeable when it comes to cars? So many lunatics on Nairaland. 2 Likes |

chukel: Stop crying. I dont know about cars. But i know that only a man with limited funds will go buy an a year old car of 242,000 miles that has definitely seen its best days. I also know enough that the approximate mileage of a car can easily be gotten in 30 seconds with its VIN and last title so chances of buying a car with rolled back mileage from deceitful dealers like you is very slim. You can wail all you want but i wont pay you any mind to you i am spoiling market for your crooked ass. |

nurey:Not all 2azfe engines burn oil. There was a bad batch. I drove one for a few years and travelled extensively with it. Drove it like I stole it sometimes and I never had to top oil due to oil burn. If the rate of oil burn is 1l per 1000miles or 1600km though, I think anyone can live with that. |

Some people sha. Same people making noise about never buying high mileage vehicles will walk into a car stand and tell a dealer that his low mileage accident free 08 ES350 is too expensive at N5.5m because his neighbour has a similar car on sale for N4.5m. Same people will eventually buy an accidented or privately sold problematic (usually transmission or engine) vehicle and be visiting one mechanic or the other after a few months or get stuck at ore on the cars first trip out of Lagos. Maintenance is key!!! My car is 201xxx and was bought with 173xxx. It's still going strong. Don't expect low mileage on an old car. In this case the OPs car is below average mileage expected. These cars can easily do 300k+ if maintained properly. The average Nigerian barely covers 5000 miles in a year. At that rate it will take the OP about ten years to get to 300k miles. He would have got his money's worth from the car. Car has been bought already OP, so enjoy your ride. Don't allow negative people dampen your joy. Cheers. |
Re: Mileage Of A Car At 242474 Good Or Bad by Itsrm(m): 10:25am On May 30, 2022 |
9icetoo: Any car can do 1m miles if you have enough money to spend on it. What we are talking about is the cost of ownership. You bought your vehicle at 173k miles and is now at 201k miles. How much have you spent to keep it on the road compared to someone who bought his at 73k miles and is now at 101k miles. That is the point you're missing. Granted you would have gotten yours cheaper than he got his but how about the cost of downtime while the vehicle is sitting at the mechanic workshop for repairs. It's even funny how people who know better forced you to buy a car with 173k miles and you're here still arguing the obvious. There are several well maintained 18 year old cars on auction still below 150k miles with decent prices. Why are we not advising the OP to get them? He must not use a highlander if he can't afford the cost of getting one with reasonable mileage. |
Re: Mileage Of A Car At 242474 Good Or Bad by 9icetoo(m): 3:59pm On May 30, 2022 |
Itsrm:1 Kickstarter (12k) 2. 1 brake disc (24k) 3. One coil (6k) 4. Oil change (as needed) 5. Transmission oil change (as per maintenance schedule) 6. Axle oil and differential oil (as per maintenance schedule) 7. Front and rear brake pads (expected after 30k miles of use 8. 2 tyres 9. Set of shocks and linkage (I travel a lot and haul heavy stuff so was expected. Our roads are also wonderful). I have not broken the bank to maintain it. Rest. He will buy what he can afford. There is no guarantee that a car below 150k miles won't require all of the above and even more to be replaced during use here. Once again, rest oga. Mileage is not the litmus test for buying a car. Allow the OP enjoy his car. 7 Likes |

Lower mileage doesn't guarantee better reliability. That mileage is a bit high, though, and you'd probably be better off with something having less miles on it than. Unless, of course, you have evidence that this car has been well-maintained. 1 Like |
Re: Mileage Of A Car At 242474 Good Or Bad by Itsrm(m): 8:18pm On May 30, 2022 |
HeavenlyBang: Agreed. Neither does high mileage. Chances of having better reliability is higher with low mileage vehicles. Maintenance or no maintenance, high mileage is when you start having issues with failing door actuators, windows not rolling down or not coming up after rolling down, and plenty other little things that add up. |
