I Want To Buy My First Car, I Need Sincere Advice by abuc: 3:58pm On Feb 10, 2017
Good day Great Minds,

In a couple of weeks, I will be buying my first car but do not want to make mistake about it.
I don't have much experience with cars and that is the main reason I need sincere advice from
those with car experience.

I want review on the following cars:

Honda EOD
Toyota Matrix
Golf 4

In terms of low cost maintenance, low fuel consumption and durability; which of those cars or any other
car will you recommend for a first time car owner?

I await good recommendations and reviews.

The amount of money I have can afford any of the aforementioned cars. I just need advice
on the best option based on fuel consumption, cost of maintenance and durability.

Thanks.

If you want to help, you can advice based on the fact that I can afford any of the 3 stated cars.
Knowing how much I have is inconsequential. Thanks for your time as I await others contribution.

the Toyota matrix is a good car anytime any day. especially the one that come with the corolla engine(xr).
the Honda is good too if you live in a city with manageable roads cos Honda don't like bad roads.

as for me I'll go for the Honda because of comfort and other reasons. the golf4 is a no no for me

What's with how much he has? He has mentioned the cars his money can buy.

So what do you need his financial information for? Advise him on the 3 cars mentioned. Simple and short or go away.

You can't be comparing big brother with younger ones.

Fuel economy: Matrix or Golf 4
Prestige and style: EOD
Power and comfort: EOD.
Low Maintenance cost: Golf 4
Durability: depends on you, and not on the car.

Dnt be silly u can't start looking to buy a car if u dnt ve a budget, ur budget determines d kind of car u can afford so it is the number one factor to consider. listing some cars doesn't exactly do d job.

I ve already moved to other threads b4 ur needless mention, maintain ur Lane and stop quoting ppl up and down as if u r jobless

Thanks for your advice. I live in Lagos and roads is definitely manageable.

Can you be specific with the Toyota Matrix model that comes with corolla engine?

Any reason why the Golf 4 is a no no for you? I just like Matrix and Golf 4 shape cheesy

I appreciate your contribution

Thanks for your input. I'm impressed with the manner you marketed EOD. Low maintenance and fuel consumption will be a big factor for me to determine which of the cars to settle for.

My friend shut your trap.

Do you know whether or not he has gone into the market to price those vehicles and they fall into his budget? You are the one who shouldn't be silly. Learn to mind your business. Don't be nosy.

He has a budget and his budget obviously covers the 3 cars mentioned. So talk in that range not wanting to know how much he has.

I don't know why people never grow. It's a pity

Bruh,

I think ur banter here is absolutely unnecessary and says a lot about your age and background.

There's no reason to enquire about how much he has, having listed cars within his budget. You should offer advise based the information provided. No real reason to abuse anyone.

U r entitled to ur opinion, but asking for his budget was d most sensible question to ask. I dnt expect u all to agree with me BC most of u have low IQ in d first place.

I will appreciate it if I dnt get further senseless mention as urs on this dead issue

Most important advice.. Any car u wanna buy.. Go with a specialist mech and a scanner.. U must scan that car.. I repeat.. U must scan that car.. If it throws a code.. Query the code it threw.. To know what u are or could possibly deal with...

Wow! I never thought of scanning the car. This is one of the benefit of seeking advice from those with much experience.

I will definitely yield to this advice. Currently searching for specialist mech.
