hahahaha,the way they feel ehhhh,that 126hp is doing them like its 380hp..lol,most especially 2003-2007 models,they like forming fast and furious on top that small horsepower.

Our economy has taken a nose dive and the middle class has a reduced purchasing poet.

The only car that they feel will go a long way for their naira is the Corolla.
They believe in a lower running cost, and the higher purchasing cost will be justified by a higher second/ third hand value.

Mos t users are not willing to do the cost analysis of ownership, just get a car that can be fixed by any grease monkey in any part of the bush along any road in Nigeria, and that is what they are paying premium price for.
Until the buyers are better educated about cars and the mechanics level of exposure is improved Corolla is the silver bullet for Nigerian roads right now

i get you but i think to say to UPGRADE is the wrong WORD if the intended purpose is to decieve, when one says i upgraded it means there is a documentation of what it used to be, eg i upgrade it from 2 litre engine to 3.5 litre its something you can talk about freely

Whereas what i think as the right word is MODIFIED/REBUILT to look like what it is not (TEMPERED WITH), be it for the right reasons or to decieve

Then we have swap of VINs or duplicate of VINs aka CLONING (having two cars of the same make and model having the same VIN ) this is sually from very organised crime for high valued cars

ZIMDRILL:
I dont deny that it exist and it happens

why would you temper with the VIN of your car unless your are a car theft ?

remember you are talking of "A FACELIFT and UPGRADE" unless this from those who steal, change VIN and sale

ZIMDRILL:
A VIN number never gets changed from the birth of the car till its crushed or let to rust

Remember i can eg modify my an Audi R8 to look like a Lamborghini but my VIN will tell that i am an Audi R8 inside, meaning a car vin cant be changed, becoz it IDs the manufacturer, production date, place of manufacturer etc. its like your birth certificate, you can change your name, ( aka the car's body) but you can never change the place your where born or where you birth certificate was registered, eg as zimbabwean by birth and british by nationality it doesnt mean my birth certificate as changed to be british NO it still remains zimbabwean though an now british

then the example you gave that depends with individual countries car registration systems eg in uk your car NUMBER PLATE nearly correspond with manufacturer year VIN number eg a manufactured 2016, its number plate can be either GH16 RTY or GH66 RTY (thats 16/66 identifys 2016 ) thats 2016 thats when the car was registered into the country's car regististration system which is a close date by 6 months to the actual productation of the car, so that car can never have a number plate with shows it as 2017 and upwards

https://www.wilsons.co.uk/number-plate-guide/

in Uk if right now i import a Japanese car with of VIN number production of 2001 then number plate of my car wont be eg "GH20 RTY" becoz that 20 represent 1st registered(which correspond close to manufacturer date therefore my registration would be GH01 RTY (01 correspond with VIN manufacturer dates )

Hope it make sense

So in simple terms there is a different between manfuctarer dates and registration of car into the countries system so UK tries to make those dates close to each other therefore number plates can ID which year production is your car

then with example you gave 2012 identify when the car was resgistered into the countrys vehicle system but it doesnt mean thats the year the car was manufactured NO but the VIN number will do the rest if you want to know when the car was manufactured
