What Car Type Can A Family Man With An Income Of 55k Per Month Maintain? by Sirchiboy: 2:37pm On Jan 28, 2023 |
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. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Keep saving please. You can't get a car with that amount, unless it has a police case or is terribly jalopy. 1 Like |

Sirchiboy: 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 17 Likes 1 Share |

nurey: 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 ![]() |

oweniwe: 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 3 Likes |

1. Nissan primera 1990 2. Micra 3. Toyota carina ( the ones dem Jackie chan used for the movie 5 lucky star) 4.Mitsubishi 1995 5.Datsun 1990 But if I were you, I’ll continue saving till I have up to atleast 1.5m With that you can get a correct naija used Toyota from year 1996-2006.. Because from all indications, even if you manage to buy it that your salary can’t really cover car expenses. I know you’re trying your best to give your family the best but then , you should know that without money , many things can’t be done. It’s either you save more or buy okada |

I don't think a man with a total income of 55k in a month should be thinking of buying a car either single or married except he want to use it for public transportation business. Whatever you are trying to save from your 55k income should be used to set up a small business. If you proceed to buy any car with your present income, it will surely plunge you into extreme poverty and it will kill you if care is not taken. Motorcycle is your best bet presently if there is need for it. 5 Likes 1 Share |

A very economical car in good condition would be excellent for a family man...Not only is it way safer than a motorcycle but also waay cheaper than commercial transport.....Cars with 1.1 -1.4 litre engines do as much as 700km-800km on full tank.... Requires only like 3litrs of engine oil change after about 3 months of constant use....In d op case, taking his kid to school, dropping his wife at work & picking them off when he off work is very ok...... But make sure u get a good car |
