Yes it actually, just make sure you get a vehicle history report to just confirm that the vehicle hasn’t been in a crazy accident/ flooded to avoid purchasing a lemon 59 Likes 1 Share |

It's a bit pricey because you will have one or two things to still do inside. If you have checked everything and its okay for you, then take it to 7.5m or max 8m. Also check the tires expiry date since its tokunbo, so u know u dont have to purchase tire after u get the car. If the tire is above 5 years already, dont pay more than 7.5m for it. 26 Likes 2 Shares |

Nice and mid range exotic car but it would be hard for you to sell it when you want to upgrade to something higher. The second hand value is next to nothing. Except if you want to sell at a force sale value 5 Likes |

In addition to what others have suggested to you please check the odometer to know the current mileage even if it direct B. Ask for title, avoid buying a stolen car If you have any question you ask. Again go with experience mechanic. 8m no be small thing you can risk oo 9 Likes 1 Share |
