Good evening my brothers and sisters. I am a family man with a wife and a daughter and I need a small fairly used car that is easy to maintain. A car that has fuel economy,whose parts are available and affordable in order to ease family mobility as my wife's workplace is quite a distance from the house. Also, the stress of my wife carrying my child to work via buses n keke breaks my heart. Although we are looking at corrola, heard it fits my criteria so well. Pls, I need your advice on that too. My budget is 450k to 500k. GOD bless us all.

First have in mind that to buy a car is easy, to maintain same is the hardest part.

Your initial budget is very small to buy a car that will give minimal issues in Nigeria currently you need around 1m, the lower the buying price of a car the higher the maintenance cost you would incur 90% fact their are some lucky instances cheap good car.

55k monthly salary for a single man can maintain a car but for a family man, too thin financially.

Let's say you got a kia Picanto or Nissan micra those 1.1L fuel efficient engines

4L of oil is around 8k, filter is 2k workmanship 2k that's 12k fueling let's say 40L per month @ 200/L that's 8k total 20k

Can you afford to cough out 20k from ur salary in a month without affecting other basic family needs?

If you are not in lagos you can try a bike, nah wetin I dey push up and down and I get 75km on a liter, I use 10L in 2.5 weeks

Honestly you will regret any car you buy with that budget and the level of your salary

To maintain a car,
Fuel a car
Service and repair a car
Keeping your car up to date, your salary should be as from 100k

Any thing less you will be drained

Cars are more expensive to maintain than running a home

But the choice is yours

How much does he spend on public transport and their inconveniences too?

Abi public transport is free? Okada drop here now is N300... That's 600 mon-fri average that should be 3,000-4,000 weekly on fuel. (If it's strictly point A-B thing) .. not bad for family man

The discomfort that comes with public transport is not worth any money you want to save , especially as rains is starting soon.

I wish I can ride motorcycle

nurey:


you are also right but no trouble like a car shutting down on you at a godforsaken place at an ungodly hour. Whats more buying a car with all your savings and end up parking it without receiving intended usage. Car parts are very expensive now when i say very expensive i mean parts you buy at one naira b4 are now x3. if bikes are allowed in the ops region he can get a brandnew one and use it to convey his family from time to time, they just have to make extra provision during raining seasons. Atleast
Brandnew daylong and Lifan with hand kick is around 400k, Bajaj hand kick 520k while no kick starter is 480k, TVS is around 450k, Haojue which is the most solid of all is 700k for brandnew and they can last 3years without any major issues popping up
