Hello nairalanders,
It’s with great pleasure that I start this thread about purchasing my first car.
Mid last year, I determined I was going to buy a car and started saving rigorously to try get one…trust me it has been a grand journey …suddenly there was no more henessy, Martel kept staring every night out but I was always like ‘baba chill,I Dey save’… I don’t earn much but I am so tired of jumping buses and Okada and most painfully paying big money to e-hailing………………

When you get it
Your motor no go jam

send me money for prayers
Make I drop aza?

Go back and save up to 2.5m, then comeback here. Except you want to end up buying KOROPE.

A clean Toyota Camry will do just fine

Re: Buying My First Car by diana158(m): 5:46pm On Mar 15, 2023
Honda civic is good because of fuel is economy but Camry is stronger.

Which ever comes first in your priority list, go for it.

First I started with daily 5k …my projection was by mid this year I could get a Benz, but omo saving money is extra HARD in Naija.
Lorokan sha (in one word), I have saved up 1.8 million so far and I THINK i will like to get a car now
Yes, it’s not much to get my dream car but I feel it’s definitely ok to get started ..I am flexible with my plan…keep upgrading my cars when I get the chance and before I know it, I may get my BENZ…it’s hard I know but I can do it and I am sure of it……

Thanks
y don’t u connect with people u know so they give u trusted mechanics they have been using

Don’t u think trusting a stranger is dangerous?

At least u will have friends using cars n they will have at least one mechanic they can vouch for

Buy Toyota 2004 or better still buy corola 2005 , Toyota has a second hand value and quick to sell whenever you need your money back ,moreso it's cheap to maintain . best of luck

Ignore all the people wey dey advice you to buy BMW or Benz, they know nothing.

If you are buying those cars (BM and BZ), buy it new. Use it for 5-10 years and sell them. They are not good for long term value..not like before with Benz 190, 200 and co or e-series BMW.

BACK to the mata:

Between the Honda and Toyota

Those are very good vehicles. You can't get anything better at that price range.

That Honda is more Zippier and fun to drive than that 2004 Camery.

The advantage for that 2004 Camery is that it has fewer electrical components compared to the Honda. So you will worry less in terms of faulty components.

Search kindness Yagz Chukwuma on fb. He is based in Abuja, he might not have cars of 1.8m. but chat him up on fb or whatsapp. He will update you when a good car of that range comes out.

With 1.8, you can get a good mechanic to help you diagnose and choose a good accident-free Nigerian used Toyata corolla 04-07 or Honda civic 06+09. You should be fine.

toyota

look around you

civic is equivalent of corolla
accord is equivalent of camry

now how many civics do you see around compared to same year model corollas?
how many accords do you see around compared to the same year model camry?

hondas are beautiful. far more beautiful than toyotas - but they do not hold up against abuse from our kazeems
