Am Starting To Look At Cars Like Money Pits Now. Drains Your Pockets by diamond68: 7:17am On Jun 24 |
The way you will spend when you own a car ? For example if you have 100k in your pocket just one small thing that goes wrong with your car can wipe out that 100k in a second. For example if ac compressor just packs up to replace it and labor is 100k. And there are many parts in the car so something is always going wrong. Meanwhile if you have no car you can keep that 100k in your pocket and enjoy it slowly . The more expensive the car the more money it steals from you. Am starting to look at cars like money pits now. I don’t care what expensive car I see people driving now cuz all I see is big problems when I look at those cars. Imagine trying to change the head gasket in a Prado ? The labor alone they will charge you like 100k . Ac compressor on a prado ? Maybe 200k. These big moneys will just be dropping out of your pocket regularly . Tufiakwa Seun Mynd44 Nlfpmod 6 Likes |

Was traveling last week when the car I was driving started leaking engine oil, I couldn't notice earlier because I was playing músic and checked the dashboard 30 minutes earlier, until the car just stopped in the middle of the road. Bought another oil, pour it inside the engine after the engines has cooled down. 15 mins later the engine knocked. I spent 120k to just repair it within 2 days, money that I can't finish in 2 weeks on a norms. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

ElFantasama:I don’t see having a girlfriend as money draining. It’s only money draining to weak men who can’t control their women. But if your car die for 3rd mainland bridge you must pay 50k to tow it lol 12 Likes 3 Shares |

When I got my car newly, I barely had any repairs that cost me more than 10k at once. Parts were cheap then, by the way. It was just regular oil change and occasional tire changes. But the car is now getting to five years in my hands. And repairs are now becoming more frequent. Plus parts have become more and more expensive. But in all of this, I still will not trade the comfort and convenience that car offers for anything else in this world. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Car is a necessity not a luxury. When u chose luxury over necessity then u get the result the op was complaining about. Don't buy what u can't easily maintain,if u can't afford to maintain THEN DONT BUY 2 Likes |

I sold my Toyota Corolla that I have used for 11 years last two month. The can started draining my pocket, I spent roughly 40-50k every week aside fuel couple with bad road where I live. To own a car now is luxury. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Lol, I can relate, especially if the car is Naija used, problem doubled if it was previously used by a careless Naija user that visits the mech only when the car refused to start or drive. Had some unforgettable experiences using the 08 Solara and Honda EOD. I repaired the car to the extent my mech said, if you want to fix all the problems on this car, you might end up trekking to the village. Still on still it gets to a stage in your life when owning a car no longer becomes a luxury but a necessity. Our problem is we buy this car to show off most of the time. 1 Like 1 Share |

So you comot 100k go repair AC for this economy. Having a car to take you from one point to another conveniently is not expensive, what is the expensive is comfort and luxury. |

The road is been constructed now thanks to President Tinubu and our house of rep hon babajimi Benson. By the time they finish the road in Dec I will surely get another car. diamond68: |
