Kakakibuy,

Nice job. Well done. Like how much would it cost me to get a corolla 06/07 from Manheim? I need to also compare and contrast the pros and cons between Manheim, copart and IAAI. The buy now prices I saw on a thread from Manheim was really scary

Dear Samconcepts, thanks for reaching out.

You are right with Manheim prices being "scary". This is because Manheim prioritizes quality over any other factor. The best way to benefit from Manheim's scary prices is to go for high-end vehicles. This is when it makes economic, as well as complete sense to buy from Manheim.

For a 2006/07 Corolla, we should buy top grade salvaged option from Copart or IAAI. Estimate a total cost between 2M - 2.5M. Are these numbers in line with your budget?

My budget is not more than 1.8m. It was even less but had to top up, considering the realities on ground. Was like thinking I can get it at less the Lagos price. A friend was telling me that going for salvaged might cost me same as clean title at the long run.

Clean title cost a lot and salvaged title is the economical way to go. If you can go up to 2M we should be able to get a top-quality salvaged option. Keyword here is "top quality"

Don’t fill up if you see the tanker If you happen to see a gasoline tanker filling the tanks at your local gas station, come back another day or go to a different station. As the station’s underground tanks are being filled, the turbulence can stir up sediment.Sediment in your gas can clog fuel filters and fuel injectors, causing poor performance and possibly necessitating repairs.

Buy used tires If you own a car that you plan to drive only for another year, the last thing you want to do is to buy a new set of tires. If it’s time to replace those tires though, it’s really time. Rather than hesitate, buy a set of used tires. Call local tire dealers to see what’s available. You’ll be surprised by how much wear is left in tires that are turned in by image-conscious car owners. Have your tire size handy

Top off your brake fluid : Check brake fluid monthly.Wipe dirt from the master cylinder lid before you open it. If you need fluid, add the type recommended by your car’s maker. Never substitute other fluids, such as transmission or power-steering fluid. And don’t use brake fluid from a previously opened container. Once exposed to air, brake fluid absorbs moisture and contaminates easily.

Consider adding oil coolers If you plan to do a lot of towing and your vehicle is not already equipped with coolers, consider having them added. Aftermarket engine oil and transmission fluid coolers are simple, low-cost addons that operate on the same principle as your car’s radiator. The fluid flows through them, and many small fins absorb and dissipate heat. Cooler operating temperatures of engine oil and transmission fluid can add significantly to the life of your engine and transmission.

Wipe oil pan plug clean If you do your own oil changes, clean the drain plug and washer with rags before re installing your oil pan. Some plugs are magnetized to trap metal particles.

Fuel Injection Service Performing a fuel injection service not only prolongs the life expectancy of the injectors, but can increase fuel mileage with benefits that far outweigh the cost of the service.

Avoid overfilling your crankcase with oil Don’t overfill your engine crankcase with oil. If you do, the oil can rise into the crankshaft, where air bubbles will get churned into the oil.Your oil pump can’t do a good job of circulating oil with air bubbles. The result can be overheating and stress on engine components. Overfilling can also foul your sparkplugs. In fact, overfilling is a bad idea with all automotive fluids.

Blast mats with the hose When washing your car, drag out the rubber or carpet floor mats and blast them with the hose.This will dislodge dirt particles that, if allowed to build up, will grind holes in your mats. Let the mats dry thoroughly in the sun before reinstalling
