I Need Expert Opinion On 08 Camry by LongBig(m): 9:23am On Aug 28, 2022 |
Hello Nairalanders, I need your candid and honest opinion, have been using one corolla so I want to change it to Camry 2008. Have seen one I intend to buy for 2.5m, this is description and image below REGISTERED TOYOTA CAMRY,V4 2008 LAGOS FLASHED ONCE ENGINE,GEAR,AC OKAY My concern is the car have been flashed ones, what does that mean? Can that affect the performance and the durability of the car? Is this a good buy? Though before doing any payment I would take the car to any Toyota specialist workshop for thorough scanning. But before leaving my abode I want to be sure and hear your expert opinions. Thanks |

LongBig: I4 means 2az. The engine is plagued with oil burn/shorting. The gear 13pin/u250e is very sensitive. After scanning, ask the relevant questions. Is it shorting oil? Has it been ringed? Overheating is not nice on 2az too. Ask if gear has been repaired or replaced? Run if these answers are yes. Check for rust under the car. Check if catalytic converters are intact 4 Likes |

Every mofocka repainted his tokunbo car. No matter what. Flashing vs over baking different. But overall,if it's neatly flashed,no yawa. An accident cat is very easy to know na,pls and pls buy tokunbo |

The flashed means body has been repainted and what do you intend to do with the car, if you intend to use it for commercials like Uber, abort mission... |
Re: I Need Expert Opinion On 08 Camry by Omoapena(m): 2:59pm On Aug 30, 2022 |
My candid advice, ask them for when the car was cleared off, if it's below 2020. Don't buy it for that price, you can bargain for 1.8m to 2m. |
