kingreign: Yup. Issued this warning a few times some time back. Not sure why it's coming up again though. Thought it was common knowledge but I guess not. As long as it's disclosed, shouldn't be an issue. https://www.nairaland.com/4696641/official-car-comparison-recommendation-thread/45#76524651 |

Since no one is asking the right questions, let me ask. What has the op done wrong? Assuming I am a first time buyer and I come across this thread have I been educated or not? I can also see a balance in his posts where he explains how to inspect and how to spot a rusted car, also read in his post that not all cars from Canada are rusted, so where is the beef coming from? Rust is bad, I have owned a rusted Mercedes Benz in the past and I can tell you there was no solution and I had to sell it for scrap in feringada . We should all look beyond hate and ask the technical questions instead of hating. 13 Likes 1 Share |

This is because they are prone to rust and accompanying issues and only a few people are willing to take the risk worldwide, therefore export market is very low, leading to laws of demand and supply.. My mum's car which she's been using since 2013 December came from Canada and the little rust patch didn't increase... But the day I changed absorbers ehn... 1 Like |

Let me be very objective: I am not concerned about the intent of this thread because I dont know. However, both the US + Canadian cars are not rust free. It largely depends on location. Even in Canada, it depends on where you live, where you ply and what measures the car owner have put in place to protect rust. The end of the story is that; "Before you buy any car whatsoever, please PROPERLY inspect" 13 Likes 1 Share |

Surprised yet not surprising. I think this thread is coming a bit late to be a thread that's "for education"! It's taking 3 months to come, why? 9 Likes |

Funny enough, my first car (clean title though) which is USA assembled but used in Ontario, Canada for several years before it was shipped to Nigeria has no rust either underneath it not to talk of any other place till date. I've been using it for more than three(3) years; as someone just said up there, it depends on the location the car was used in Canada and the likes. 15 Likes 1 Share |

I have a lot of personal experience with Canadian cars, but unfortunately I will be unable to share them so I do not sound biased. |

Gazuzz: I disagree. With another vehicle I rightfully questioned the mileage and you were one of the first to berate me for it so your statement isn't consistent. In the same vein no one should have questioned the rust. 4 Likes |

radautoworks: excellent observation, but rust is obvious and mileage needs a vin check. The mileage might still be correct. |

Gazuzz:The 2004 Toyota Camry my sister sent to my dad from Canada.... most part of the body are rust. Wen the mechanic wanted to change the shock absorber he was just complaining that it's was difficult for him to loose most part of the car due to rust,he even called welder to cut off some nut due to rust. Though the engine is v6 ND ND very much ok ND neat but the body is just ![]() The body paint still fair though some part of the boot area is fading away ND beneath the door area is damn rust..the panel beater will soon work on it...so I think dat the main reason.. 3 Likes |

If you like use them for Sahara desert, them go still rust ![]() ![]() And to the other Oga.. Their is no relationship between clean title & rust 3 Likes |
