A client was interested in this Toyota Corolla and he invited my team at Autos and Cartalk (Limited) to inspect it for him.

On getting to the car, it has about 300,000 miles on its mileage and this has been done to its battery compartment.

Will you still buy it despite all that?
that fabrication supposed to add more value to the car

Will the mileage go back to zero if the engine is replaced?
Don't think so.
Cos aside the engine they are other crucial parts of the cars that are fvcked already. Best option is to buy another car.

That battery is not an issue but 300 thousand kilometer is a lot of mileage. If the car is not very cheap I won't buy it

Looks like you cherish using question mark a lot. Kindly note that you are not talking to a novice.

I can school you quite well as regards your last sentence.

300k highway miles are better than 100k inter city miles.

What has using native sense to secure a battery got to do with hampering the selling and buying of the car?

Did the seller say the contraption is a permanent fixture that cannot be removed by the new owner?
My brother, You go explained tire.

You are correct.

Maintenance is also essential.

Oga he already schooled you as regards any submission on mileage on durability of and efficiency of I "MEAN"used car, mileage is d least variable though not dat its not a variable in it's entrity but I mean least in d phylum or class of when used cars are involved ... MAINTENANCE and level of Detororiation are greater variables....as the car is already used RESIDUAL VALUE IS OF MOST IMPORTANCE FOR RE- use
U can as well school me let me give theory and physical evidence for free

That is way beyond 300,000 kilometer. That should have another name instead of calling it a car

Did you also read the about 300,000 miles said to be on it?

Opinion was asked, but you are here asking questions up and down like something else is involved.

The age of the car also is a factor in mileage though the author did not include the year but from the image it shows that the Corolla is of 2003-early 2008 generation.

The mileage is very okay. It has been locally driven in Nigeria also.
Re: Will You Still Buy This Toyota Corolla Seeing This Done To It? by DoxxAnon: 7:29am On Sep 10, 2023
What exactly is ā€œhigh mileageā€?

Two scenarios- a 2005 Corolla with 300,000 miles or and 2015 Corolla with 200,000 miles on it. Assuming both cars had their routine maintenance done, the 2005 Corolla will have an engine with less mileage and less wear on it that the 2015.

If we assume that car is a 2005 Corolla, then itā€™s engine has an average of 16,600 miles yearly which is good on the other hand the 2015 model will have 25k a year average which is quite high!

The client will be paying you for a professional advice he/she expects from you.

Now that you are asking us, does it mean you will go ahead with the advice on Nairaland despite your expertise?

We already decided for the client before this was posted here so that people can also learn from the inputs of Nairalanders.

We advised the client not to buy it because of the high price the owner put on it.

Nothing wrong with that connection abeg, only negative is exposed which has no effect to me. The positive is well insulated check it. It's just a protector gainst battery theft.

Peugeot 206 or golf2 VW,which is the better car? Reliable, strong and fuel efficient... help to compare Peugeot 306SW & VOLKSWAGEN passat
I will personally choose VW Passat. German machine.
Peugeot is less tolerant of abuse and spare parts not so common.

I am ready to pay N35,
000 weekly depending on our agreement

I will provide verifiable guarantor as needed.
