Thanks for the inquiries and we will get back to you as soon as possible but in the meantime, is there any restrictions like mileage and accident records?

Inquiry on Toyota Highlander 2007 Limited, full option.
Thanks for the response
Must be accident free
Mileage nt critical about it, anything within average of that age range is ok. Thanks

Will look into this and get back to you BUT i will be honest with you off the bat that you will be spending more than what is necessary to buy a car of 14 years old all because you don't want something with an accident that at the end of the day, might have been in an accident but never reported.

Blov:
Thanks for that insight!
The aim is to avoid problems due to previous accidents. But if one can still get an accidental vehicle with little or no problem due to previous accidents, then it will be a good deal.
Thanks

An accidental rides doesn't mean a problematic car . . . .Let's break down together sir.
Assuming i am your friend and i hit your car, will your report it to the authority or will you just go and fix or i will fix for you?
Assuming someone that has no insurance hit your car and decide to settle you with cash and you accept the money, no report
Imagine you hit your own car against something and get damaged, who will you report to?

In all these, please remember that reporting accident to the authority most times costs the person that is at fault and the insurance premium might go up, so people will do all possible to avoid the reporting to authority.
Now with all the above mentioned, none is reported but does that changed the fact that they were into accidents? i have seen some badly damaged but yet NEVER shows as salvage.

Now let's talk about what to avoid:
A ride that has front damaged isn't very good to be bought but please note that even if front damaged and the frame wasn't affected or just the lights or the fenders, there is nothing wrong with such rides
A ride that was involved in accidents only to be shipped and fixed in Nigeria, except if done by the real experts

Accident rides that i will advice to buy:
Something with back impact
Side impacts but never affected the frame
Fender benders
And especially something that one can tell you the history.

Do NOT join the group of my brothers and sisters that just group all accidents into ONE and thereby paying too much for what is NOT necessary.

Good luck with your search
