I like to pay attention to details when buying cars. I do my due diligence to the best of my car knowledge when trying to make a purchase . In addition , my mechanic is also there to inspect the car so i have a second opinion.
After sighting a car I am interested in and at the point of starting negotiations, I get the VIN to check . I have come to notice 9 out 10 times , the speedometer is always adjusted to reflect lower mileage.
In 2021, wanted to buy a camry 2013 with a little over 40,000 km , actually sounded to good to be true at that mileage going for around 6m.
Just to check the vin history and the car has actually done over 300,000 km. The car was actually a taxi in the abroad before being shipped down and repackaged with shiny paint and refurbished interior. I like dealers being straight with me about the history of the cars but only a handful are sincerely honest.
Some cars after checking, you'd realize what some dealers are selling are refurbished caskets. But the reduced mileage has been a more reoccurring incidence than others.
So to Car dealers and resellers in the house , Why the need for re- adjusting a Cars Mileage lower?

Best way is to check the VIN. If VIN says 285k mileage,we'll na like 20 percent remain b4 car go begin give u issue.

Nigerians don't fear God anymore. What do they stand to lose if they leave the mileage as it is from source. If customer won't buy at the original mileage, he won't buy. The deceit & dishonesty is too much.
