This is a jaundiced opinion

A person may sell their vehicle for variety of reasons.

And besides if he sell him car,shey na you buy the car for am

And life is about making priorities, if one realizes that at a stage ,a car is more of a liability than necessity or is willing to take the risk of using the funds from a vehicle sale to alleviate a pressing concern or fund an investment

Then by all means go ahead n sell your car . Live your life on your terms n not the illusion of yourself you want people to see.



Op is the type that cares so much about what people think. He lives for the validation of others. If your value comes from material possessions, you will always be insecure.

That's their business...


From a C240 to a Corrolla, from Corolla to a 508, and back to a Corolla, from a Corolla to a Lexus GX460..

Now using a Uber, while waiting for a visa.

During these transition, I used my legs and Cab hailing services.

Whoever that is monitoring my life is wasting his or her time.

I no come the world to live on what people think. I do what makes me happy and live to please my maker.

This people that ask you where is your car, they use legedis Benz swear for them. Always looking for free ride, even the ones that are well off still want a free ride.

The greatest embarrassment that can happen to a man is when he sells his car.

I always advise people if you know you're not financially buoyant triple don't buy a car because once you do, you've automatically purchased a NEW IDENTITY.

All eyes are on, you respect coming from different directions young and old, family members, church members and even neighbors but sell that same car you are reduced to a BEGGAR in their eyes.

Greatest embarrassment you can have from having a car is to get accident with it, and be killed or disabled with it. When that happens, you actually wished you never had the car in the first instance.

I buy properties to make my life easier. If any of my properties become liability in my life, I'll either sell or give it away.
If your car is now taking up more expenses - fuel, repairs etc - than you can afford based on current economic situation, then it makes sense to sell it off and take public transportation, instead of killing yourself under the pressure of maintaining social image for people who contribute less than nothing to the payment if your bills

selling ur car shouldnt be an issue. If u think u cant continue to maintain it. Seeking ppls validation is the prob. I sold my car and was using taxi for almost 4 months b4 getting another and it didnt change who I am. Ppl still gave me my respect. Its all about ur self esteem and ur carriage. U can drive the most expensive car and command zero respect.

When you use hammer to knock that kick in your car engine to get your car started in the presence of some interested onlookers who just can't mind their business.

Very embarrassing.

No bro, you need a job. What do you sell ?you have to be selling a product or a service that people will pay you money for. It is that money that you will save up that you can use to buy a car. Iโ€™m a car importer and I sell Nigerian used cars too. Be blessed !
