I set my mind on getting a 2010 Toyota corolla,but i noticed that the price is low.

I even saw one with the price tag of 1million naira,and its so clean. What the reason for the low resale value.

Hope its not a problematic car.

A 2010 Corolla for 1m is almost definitely a lemon. Please beware.

My brother I also saw it. Factors are it might be a distress sale, or you need to do one hidden problem or the other. Possibly engine issues

You are wrong. Is it when they start mentioning 2.4 Million naira that you will believe the car is sound

Go price a 2005 Corolla, make dem tell you how much. If others are selling their 2010 Corolla for 1.7m, I don't see why anyone would sell theirs for 1m without any major reasons. E no get who hate money.

Or a lime.

Well, many factors determine the resale of a used car.

There's no fixed price.

Buyer must always do due diligence such as thorough inspection including vehicle records and papers (no forget police report o).

I have a friend who sold his 2010 MB GLK350 for 3.5m back in 2018. Now he bought that car in 2018 as toks and used it for barely 5 months. He just got some money, traded the GLK and bought a 2015 MB ML 350 instead.
The guy that bought the GLK from him is still flexing the ride till date with no issues.

Hello house,

Please which should I go for between a 2007 Honda Pilot & a 2007 Toyota Highlander?

The pilot seems to be a more capable SUV than the Highlander of that given year (2007).

Plenty factors.

Are there high-mileage defects on that particular model?
Where was the vehicle imported from? What was it used for?

Ultimately comes down to the condition of the vehicles themselves, but if asked to choose blindly without any inspection or factors considered, I'd take the foreign used car.

Early years of the M272 had a balance shaft defect. Likely fixed if the car is over 100k miles, though.

Look at a 2009 Acura TSX. It's mechanically similar to the Accord but drives a lot better. 2010 if you want the V6.
