An average Nigerian with a low budget
face this type of dilemma often, most
especially the people that want to buy
their first car but they don’t have that
millions of Naira to splash out on a car.
In as much as I hate to disagree, cars
are liability and you get to start
spending on it immediately you make
payment. Of course you get to spend
by fueling the car but it also have its
importance.

Back to the Topic, Which Type Of Car
Should I Buy?

Answer : Buy something you can
maintain even if it means waiting to
complete the figures.

1. Maintenance of a car: is the basic
thing every car owner must consider
before making payment.

Do a thorough research, ask questions
from anonymous mechanics that is not
affiliated with the dealer or seller
about the type of Car you want to
purchase if it’s worth it and be very
sure you’re not going to pay for a car
you won’t be able to afford its parts.

2. Are the parts available in the market?
This has to come next to maintenance
of a car, don’t just wake up one day
and go for that beauty you found
available because you want to drive
around like a boss!

Mechanical parts are not to be trusted,
the car you park can develop a fault
when you restart the ignition. Yes it’s
that weird.

You must have seen cases of some
expensive cars parked and you’d
wonder why the owner abandon his/
her car on a strange spot.
Unavailable or expensive parts could
be the cause. Most times, it’s the cause.
That Mechanic around your area can
testify to the above.

3. Fuel consumption: are you that guy
or lady that have a specific budget to
spend for a certain period of time,
please avoid buying a car that
consume fuel because you’ll realise
you’re spending above what you’ve
budgeted.

4. Your road: Although this one might
not seem like an excuse but this is
what realacars is all about, we’re not
going to assume all our audience have
good roads.

As the case might be, it’s not possible.
If you fall into this category you really
should think about this clue.

Don’t force your car to follow that bad
roads, cars run with engines and
parts. Don’t be surprise if your car
suffer alignment and shock absorber
problem often if you persists.

You can as well get the car but
minimize the number of times you
force it on that bad road.

There are lots more we will share
with our readers subsequently on
realacars.com and we’ll try as much
as possible to publish affordable cars
that are in good condition on this
webpage.
