If you've never owned a car u will think all ur problems will vanish when u get one grin
When u finally get one u will understand that getting a car is just the primary aspect of owning one.
Nothing beats the euphoria one gets from a first car...
U can't sleep .....u will always be checking if it's still where u parked it.
U will wash it till the paint starts to fade grin
You will drive multiple times around the house of that girl that has been rejecting ur advances grin
U will compete with any vehicle u see on the road grin

If you have the wherewithal to purchase a car, but you don't have the common sense to check the boxes listed by the OP before making your purchase, you probably deserve any car problems you might encounter in future as a result of your negligence/naivety.

If you have the money, there's nothing to consider. Just take a drop to the dealership and buy the car like Mr Beast on YouTube

Buy what you like...... It's psychological when you put some people's identified issues in your head. No two same cars are prone to same issues at same mileage/year, if subjected to similar usage. Enjoy your money and make the pleasure a memorable one.

This happens when you visit a road side mechanic. They will do trial and error on your car and use it to complete the apprentice work they did not finish with their oOga.

Nigeria car owners will see a good standard vehicle repair workshop and run away with a mindset that its expensive even without making any effort to find out how much they charge.

"Hey you go to greedy kamoru who probably did not complete his training before running off to set up a workshop, and you expect him not to kamoru your car and your wallet"
