With your budget, I will advice you not to rush but rather search vigorously you will be lucky to get a clean car for that amount ;yes it happened to my friend he bought a car that had a market value of 1.2m for 3500, in fact the man even gave him 50 to buy fuel and tire when he heard it was his first car.

You can get a clean Toyota camry 1996 (orobo) or toyota carina E.
Toyota can easily be maintained and all you need to do is to get a very clean and durable car.
I was in a similar situation some months ago but it's all over now.
For peace of mind, go for toyota.

Stick with Toyota because you like the brand. Not because there are no other brands out there. Try broadening your horizon a tad, and try something different for a change.

Opel vectra 1998-2002
Honda civic US 1993-2002
Honda civic Europe 1994-2001
Rover 620, 45 1996-2000 (same engine as Honda civic)
Toyota corolla 1990-1998 (rear to find a good one at that price)
Nissan primera, Sentra, almera, sunny (1995-2002)
Golf 3 only please try and leave golf 4 upwards (1994-2000)
Volks wagon vento 19xx-19xx pls leave the bora and jetta of the 19xx to 20xx alone cheap but you may not be ready to handle sensor and Aluminium engine. Not that it is not good, but there is a reason I asked you to stay clear
Ford focus 19xx upwards
Toyota celiac 1990s
Hyundai accent (verna) 19xx, tubiron, coupe S, shuma, sephia
Kia rio 19xx to 2003, picanto

With all this do a picture search, find your favorite shape, and research on it. It's only Nigerian used you will get for that price, but still clean. Good luck

@op with what you ve, you can still get a clean Naija used orobo or Carina E. If you don't buy it with problems, it won't give u problem & most of 'em problems can be cheaply resolved. Most importantly, you can resell anytime you have extra cash for upgrade

Don't be surprised if 600k will not get him what 400k will in 2-4months time. As far as Naira is concerned, money loses value daily.

1. It's your money
2. It's your life
3. It is you that will drive it

You have seen both cars, you like one than the other, good just do the checks, don't buy a moving coffin or an about to die vehicle, do the checks, pay, love-vendor and rock.
