Which Kind Of Car Should I Buy? by VPersie: 12:33am On Mar 08, 2010
Hello,

In am a college student and a first time car buyer who has been saving up to get a Mercedes Benz C-Class or any other car that will help me prove levels. I was checking the internet the other day and came across some advice that sunk my heart. The dude basically said first-time car buyers should not buy luxury or good-looking cars because of the amount of accidents that are sure to deface the car. He also said stuff about not buying a fast car like Benz and going for cars like Honda that are 'simple' and 'efficient'. Is this true and what are the factors a first-time car buyer should consider in getting a car?

Whoever gave such advice is really right . . . . I would have given such advice to.
However, this is more applicable to a New driver, so if you think you are new driver, would be adviceable to buy something cheaper but reliable, cos trips to mechanics could be frustrating.

But if you an experienced driver but just a first time ride buyer, you could buy whatever you feel like buying.

When has being a student and a driver a bad combination?
Re: Which Kind Of Car Should I Buy? by sulad82i(m): 8:06am On Mar 08, 2010
@poster,
If u are still in the learning stage of driving, then u will be more prone to accidents. Try to get something cheaper than a benz for now

Sad, why?

a college student probably still dependent on his dad or some financial grants wants a car "that will help me prove levels"

Plus insurance on 'fancy' cars with a student is usually higher


Get a Honda, Golf or a Vaxhall Corsa  cheesy

That was the buzz word, but could be an independent dude as well. . . . I think he is getting it for the wrong reason as well, cos a ride is not a level prove property, it could be a liability depending on how it is used

I dont rely on my father or anyone, but God, for money. But i also know proving levels is not the best motivation for buying a car. But then that is my reality and I cant be dishonest with myself as some of u here are.

@poster,
My sincere advise is for you to buy the very car of your choice in as much as you've got the funds to buy it. After all, my father used to tell us to enjoy ourselves while we are young and then tell the story when we get old. Even if na the motor go eventually kill you, e no mean anything! Something MUST kill a man. . .If after 1 year you no fit maintain am again, park the ride jeje and jack up the four tyres put on top of brick, then cover the thing with tarpaulin after all, na your investment. then begin trek round campus. . .Na that time you go know how fowl take dey lay cooked egg! grin grin grin
