is this being enforced?

Lazy? a misconception and misleading thread

mobuch:
O.p, its like you just started car business newly, you want to sell 2007 naija used car for #1.5m probably, u will sell it to yourself, as no sane person will pay 900k for that carton u call a car; when I can get a clean discussion continues tokunbo for #1.5m, I will now buy your car for #1.5m,. Am I mad Abeg park one side, learner.

my first reaction was to laugh at your uninformed post.

1) I dont think you really read my post before making that comment.

2) If this car is a carton as you call it, what will you call this YOU put up for sale www.nairaland.com/1535787/2007-toyota-corolla-sale-680k.
Make the comparison yourself. I call it a thrash, a contraption fit to be sold as spare part.

3) How does a Toyota Corolla relate to Honda Accord. You cant even compare it with another corolla 07.

4) I have equally sold the discussion continue you mentioned for 1.35m, so what is the big deal.

5) Well I think you are

6) Learner? lol

I can go on and on but I will advise you to think twice before displaying your stupidity and foolishness in the public. #ignoramus

*modified

@mobush: you would have done well to compare this car will either a registered or a tokunbo car price inclusive

FYI good cars don't come cheap, don't deceive yourself.

This ride was last manufactured in 2007, and this is 2015. No matter it's condition, it's still a naija used car. Therefore, make your asking price more realist and biddable. This asking price is rocket-high. Thanks.

Cars with high value don't come cheap.

The asking price of 1.5m is reasonable. BTW it is negotiable. call and let me know what your offer is, if it is reasonable we can strike a deal upon inspection.
Thank you

Tyche:
Op could have a point. 15000km/year roughly translates to 42 km per day and that is very reasonable. It is funny seeing a niqqa with a 2001 car bragging that his mileage is 51000. So the original owner just use am for decoration abi?

you simplified it

you have to share your experience in details.

Kashif:
I had created a thread in auto section last year. If the moderator would move it here, I would gladly share my experiences. https://www.nairaland.com/1799354/cotonou-car-import-not-say

thanks you, i have made a comment in your thread so we dont derail this thread

Bossforeva:
whats car invention by some Nigerian?

here is an example,
www.nairaland.com/2064352/hilarious-made-9ja-keke-pics

erico2k2:
I think with this calculation you will get it wholly wrong, you can get teh actual mileage from the chassis number check on line, when you do your annual maintenance,the milage is recorded so there you have it also you can get it from reading the brain Box(ECU)

Pls explain the bolded for the benefit of everyone

Kashif:
@OP, what is the logic behind your 15K/yr for sedan, and 25K/yr for SUV?

And for everybody's information, 98% of Cotonou vehicles suffer odometer rollback. I have even very recently, discovered something shocking!

If you care much about the odometer reading of any vehicle you are purchasing from there, ENSURE you run it through VIN check! Now I know why their vehicles seem cheaper.

pls how did you arrive at that 98% estimation?
then what did you discover that is shocking about the cotonou market? I'll suggest you create a thread for it.

To the Topic: thanks saintjoel for heeding to my request to create a thread.

CityNG:
My Oga, na your face we dey look o. Wetin dey for ground for your boys ehn

Yep, still working on it.

great work. am inspired. little wonder you maintained that the so-called car invention by some Nigerian is a 'trash', and a 'contraption'

kudos sir

Cutehector4u:
d heat alone will make d phone to spoil. Damn

double damn

Cutehector4u:
I get so irritated wen I see a woman bring out money from her bra and hands it out to buy something or to give someone else d money. Its so disgustin to me, wit all d sweat and bacteria and eww bein deposited on d naira, dey still hav d guts to bring it out and give to sombody. This is one of the good reasons why breast cancer is on d rise because even d naira contains germs and dese women stil hav d mind to put it insyd dr bra. Damn! Guys can u collect such money from females who do this?

that have been an age-long bad habit among women folks, bt i have even seen 2/3 keeping phone in that 'cowbell-holder'. twas a disgusting sight.

saintjoel:
Ma'am,God bless your life.Many customers are so fixated on the mileage that they overlook other problems they car/SUV might have and at the end of the day,they end up with low mileage (rolled back odometers) and bad vehicles.

this is aided by some unscrupulous dealers who played on d ignorance of prospective buyers.

i'll suggest you create a new thread for this sir, so everyone will benefit

btw am a sir.

saintjoel:
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

Q : HOW DO CALCULATE MILEAGE FOR VEHICLES AND HOW DO YOU KNOW IF MILEAGE HAS BEEN ROLLED BACK?

A : Mileage has always caused serious issues between importers,agents,car dealers and end users. Many end users have been hoodwinked into believing that only vehicles with low mileages can perform and at the end of everything,the purchased vehicles with the assumed low mileages break down and the become daily visitors to the mechanic.

Whenever you're checking out vehicles,there's an assumed we use for detecting the actual mileage of vehicles and it's 15,000 for cars and 25,000 for SUVs.

For example - If a car was manufactured in 2001,it's calculated as 2015 - 2001 = 14,then when you multiply 15,000km to the 14 year gap,it becomes 15,000*14=210,000km.

This means that when you're buying a car manufactured in 2001,the least mileage to expect will be around 170,000km and for an heavy user,it'll will be 230,000km. So if a 2001 model car has 75,000 mileage,the buyer should run a comprehensive VIN check before purchase and the same calculation is also applicable to SUVs too.

We hope we've been able to settle the issue of mileage once again.

Thanks and have nice day.

Thanks for the info but I think the assumed mileage for used car is between 12,000km to 15,000km.

It amuses me when some buyers expect a 13 years old car to have a mileage lower than 120,000km. Its an anomaly that needs to be corrected.

In 2013 I saw a Camry 2007 Nigerian used with less than 60k mileage a guy wants to sell. That is the level some peeps can descend to in order to make a sale.
