Imagine: you show up to look at a used car, and the odometer reads 990,000 km. Not 90, not 190, but almost a million. And this isn't a semi-truck, but a regular 20-year-old Chinese crossover.
The seller confidently explains: it's a "highway car," hasn't had any accidents in years, the body is intact, and the interior is intact. The real fun begins under the hood—instead of the original engine, there's a Toyota engine. "It's a Toyota, reliable, I installed it almost right away," says the owner.
I ask a logical question: how did this engine survive so much mileage? The answer is no less legendary: "Change the pistons and rings, and it'll go the same distance." The mileage is almost a million, and the man calmly names the price and says, "Take it!"
The video features a lively scene with the seller's real arguments and my reaction to this story. This isn't a car-buying guide or a call to repeat this "experiment," but simply a funny situation from the world of cars, where every ad is a standalone series.
Let's hear in the comments what you would do:
— Would you negotiate for such a "millionaire"?
— Do you believe in a fair price of almost a million for a Chinese car with a Toyota engine?
