My case is similar to that of d op. Which shouuld I go for among VW golf 3, 1999/2000 toyota carina E and 1999/2000 toyota avensis? I intend getting a first class toks. Atleast 800k for purchase and extra 200k to keep for some polishing after purchase. I m still single but stays alone. I have a free accomodation. Please I need suggestions. Thanks. |

coolluk:If you think its unbelievable/impossible, then why did you open this thread? I thought it was meant to help you make a decision from other people's experiences. Or may be, just may be I misunderstood the essence of this thread. FYI, I have junior staff in my office earning about N40,000.00 who own and maintain their cars. How they do it? I don't know, but I know them personally, their salary levels and how they roll. All I meant was that its neither rocket science nor undoable to own or maintain a car with a take home of about a 100 grand in Naira. 8 Likes |

It does not mean that you must be using the car for all your day to day activities. It might probably be an occasional usage to minimize maintenance activities and expenses but at least you will know that you have a mobility means whenever the need arises and most especially when you have to go out with your spouse and children. 8 Likes |

LKO: There's really no diff. Between the carinaE and avensis. The avensis has more expensive body parts (rear lights, traficator lights foglamps.........) In comparisim with the carinaE. What ever you get go for the 1.8liter version, avoid the large 3s-fe 2.0 liter engine (there's nothing wrong with it I just don't like it). 4 Likes |

lomomike: Hard to get the right replacement struts(kazeem always instals the 1.8 version), bulky engine fills up the entire engine bay, hard to replace timing belt when engine is in bay, generally love the lighter smaller engine with more space to work with. That 0.2L can rest. 2 Likes |

LKO:the Carina e is a good budget car, we had a 2.0 l back then at home, it was reliable but as it got older it became a bit problematic. Get one in a good shape, you'll enjoy it. 1 Like |

Kashif:I did not say as only income. They may most likely have other income streams which I may not be privy to, you know? 1 Like |
Re: 100k Salary Enough To Get A Car? by FlyboyZee: 5:48am On Apr 16, 2015 |
Kashif:There are other income streams which are not regular and as such cannot be classified as monthly salaries. I am sure even the OP may, from time to time make a little bucks on the side, here and there, which he won't classify as monthly pay. Are you telling me that you subsist on your salaries alone? I'm a public servant and from time to time, I run official errands (Duty Tours) for my organization, this also brings in some cash, but it is not monthly and cannot be classified under salaries. I also do some agency works, as in linking buyers to sellers and sellers to buyers, arranging lease/rental agreements and sourcing or supplying materials. I also carry out a little buying and selling on the side, etc... But the salary is a constant, K and the only one I am sure of every month and the only one I make my plans/budget around, because, no matter as e bad reach, by 27th - 31st, e go done fall in. I hope you get my drift? 8 Likes |

LKO: Am using a carinaE 4AFE engine n its maintenance is pocket friendly I dnt kw abt golf 3 but frm wat I hear golf could b cheaper esp if its manual tranny. Carina E will give u a better image n its parts to d last bolt n nut are cheap n readily available @ op on average one shld b able to spend abt 15k monthly on his average car fuel inclusive after all ur other expenses for d month. Now dnt get it twisted its jst an average there r months u will spend more or far less n dt depends on ur usage (fuel comsumption) n which part of d car breaks down n needs replacement. Let's say 15k budget for car maintenance monthly will b more than enough to keep a lot of average small cars on d road, fuel inclusive. There r months u will spend 5k, 10k, 15k, 20k n so on. This will work more for those dt cover less distance with their car monthly n spend less time on traffic. Nt forgetin u must neva hit anoda car or human while on d wheels otherwise ur car ownership experience go turn sour ![]() 4 Likes |

ogawisdom: Many thanks. U made me laugh so much by saying CarinaE would give me a better image. U are so funny. But I see d CarinaE as more of a family car. Since I m still single for now and still in my twenties, dnt u think the golf 3 would be sweet for me? Thank u. 4 Likes |

LKO: I can't take golf 3 over carina e it is too small for me n I love toyota products. If this is ur first car u beta stay with toyota products. Toyota ve beta second hand value than vw n far more rugged n durable. I ve never used golf 3 but heard a lot of praises for this car frm users esp taxi drivers who claim its cheap to maintain. If u must buy golf 3 stay away frm automatic ones bc those praising it use manuals transmission. Luckily our kazeens can fix both cars well, golf 3 is cheaper than carina e in terms of purchase price so choose anyone it will serve u well |
