@phal Since you don't want Toyota or Honda, go for any Mazda that's in your price range and has been checked by a good trust worthy mech.

It's not a popularly known fact, but Mazdas are second to Toyota, before Honda even. Google Mazda reliability. Definitely better than Nissan.

For a starter like u... I will advice you to go for Honda...I will have suggested Toyota but DAT amount is too small....reason for Honda is that it is easy to maintain... Parts are cheap and available everywhere... For the bolt joint stuff...forget that...I used Honda for 2yrs plus...I never had d issue for one day...u know y...I listen to my car..one I notice any funny sound.. I take it for repair.. Most people having ds issue are care free people... Sometimes I drive without switching on my radio just to listen to d sound of d car...from there u can b able to know if ur car is faulty or not..so for the amount u said.. Honda is ur car man...

For me Toyota is over hyped and Honda ball joint issue is the reason why I'm not going to them, infact I prefer Hyundai/KIA to Honda/Toyota... By the way I have no probs upping my budget contrary to what u said..but other things are there for me to put money...thanks for ur contribution..I really appreciate

You are trying to buy your first car, meaning you have not used a Toyota before. Why are you then claiming that it is overhyped?

As far as Nigeria is concerned, Toyota is still the best. Add more money, get a Toyota and you won't regret it.

Good afternoon OP,

To be honest with you, toyota is mostly the best option for you with your budget. The fact that is mostly used justifies it efficiency in Nigeria. Well, you can check on CARS45 website for different cars in budget. If you have problem navigating the website you can send mail.

Avoid this cars45. they have bad reputation.

Just go to jiji DAT com and check out cars in your city.

Car gurus in the house please kindly help me suggest which car would fit my budget,
I am actually planning to buy my first car as my family is growing big and moving from point A to B is becoming stressful for us, hence I decided to get a very good & sharp Nigerian used car with a budget of 500K max.

I want a car that is very durable, reliable, fuel efficient, cheap and accessible parts, meanwhile I don't want Toyota or Honda as they are too common on Nigerian roads & I also believe they re not the only best car options we can get. Though I am looking at Nissan Almera 2001, Nissan primera 2000 to 2002, VW Golf 3 and Mazda cars from 1999 to 2002 models.

Please kindly help me as I need your car expertise to decide which car to go for ASAP.

Thanking you in advance

Thanking

A car worth 500k is not worth it, u will end up spending more than 500k in few years and it still won't be in great shape.
Save 500k extra. With 1M u can get a decent car, if ur lucky u won't need to fix anything.

have you ever made 100k yourself before in your life??

it's just a question. and if yes, you shouldn't have a problem buying yourself a 5million naira car instead of waiting for someone to buy so that you can enter.

Shey motor #500k still dey Sha

Biko tell me more undecided


And @OP I'm not in position to tell you how to spend your money òöó,,, But I'd say you had better use the money to get a landed property that is if the money isn't really mend to get a "CAR" as you've stated, Coz a Car itself is a liability, and it gets to wreck in due time when there is no proper maintenance""""
God bless "U"

You gave him the best advice, either the Op buys a landed property or turn the 500k to at least 1.5M else he'd most likely be buying 500k worth of problem.

Owning a car is like having a gf and dog at the same time, you just gazzz take care of am nii.

Throwback:


Nissan has electrical issues that turn off the engine while driving or refusing to start while off.

In fact, the steering can lock and drive you towards a direction that is not your choice.

It's a misinformation about Nissan vehicles. I own a Nissan sunny 1996 model for well over nine years now. The said vehicle's engine had not be opened before, they a/c is still as cool as a mortuary, no smoking, no shorting of oil. The only major repair in that vehicle I can remember is changing a power steering pump and routinely changing tires. I service the vehicle as a religion.
What is all this fuse about nissan vehicle mbók. Leave our Nissan for us. Even the big for nothing Camry I later upgraded to is as useless as it's name.

Thanks boss, Can my budget get me a very good Civic 2002?
emekatimsu:
Since this is your 1st car, I will suggest you go for Toyota. There are some common factors you look out for before buying a car. For a Toyota car, the mechanic and parts are readily available.

Your 500k can lead you to a Naija used ToYota Camry (pencil light) or a Toyota corolla (98/99) model.
Toyota been rampant isnt a sound reason not to opt for it. Honda is equally good but the problem you are probably going to face with a Honda of 500k is suspension related .

Pls save up and buy a comfortable car, a car of 500k is not a car, a good car start from 1.5million. I have an old car in my compound which I don't drive.
