PRICE 8,500,000 Key Areas to Inspect Before Committing If you are considering purchasing this vehicle, do not pay any deposit until you or a trusted mechanic perform an in-person verification: 1. The Steering Rack Issue: The 2009–2012 Venzas are notorious for developing a \"clunking\" noise or stiffness in the steering column/rack. Ensure your mechanic thoroughly tests the electronic power steering (EPS) system. 2. Dashboard & Dashboard Melt: This generation of the Venza frequently suffers from sticky or melting dashboards under intense Nigerian sunlight. Look closely at the top of the dash to see if it\'s tacky or degrading. 3. Transmission Fluid & Shifts: Test drive the car from a completely cold start. Shift through all gears to ensure the 6-speed automatic transmission doesn\'t jerk, slip, or delay. 4. Documentation Verification: Cross-check the Customs papers and ownership history to ensure the vehicle is legitimate and has its duties fully settled.
