100k can't maintain a car, I disagree with this, a car isn't necessarily be seen as a luxury, but as a means of making life easier. If you spend close to #500 a day for transport come on for a week its #2500 even that I can use for close to a week on a V6 3.0L, I magine if the op was driving a corolla with 1.6L engine or 1.8L engine it will make a lot of sense.

How much does it cost to service a car in a year theoretically
Engine oil 12K x 3
Filter let's say 2K x 3
Brakepads 24k for a year all legs
Miscellaneous 20k
Total for a year 86,000

And you would have earned 1.2m in a year remove the maintenance from it u still have 1.1m to spend

Since I have been using my car for a year (clean title tokunbo) I have not even spent 50k on it for a year I just change oil twice in a year, filter, brakes and light bulbs.

So basically everybody that has a car earns more than 100k, is married or has investments??

fanex:
look for a nicely nigerian used toyota corolla. maintenance wouldnt cost you much.
not just living, quality of life is essential. you will live longer with less stress in your life.

Honda de bend ooo. You go just de drive and fiam!!!! One tire go face right, the other face left

The op simply asked if its possible to maintain a car on 100k salary monthly and Nigerians as usual like to take everything personal and always build the future before living in the present. What if he is 25, do you know whether the op lives alone, do you know whether the op's parents are well to do or not.

Op, there are better things to do in life than be bothered about the future when you can easily secure your present and walk majestically into the future.

Nigerians always giving silly advice since 1960, so if the op decides to buy land or do investment it is now very sure the op will buy 10 cars in a short while. Op buy the car, have peace of mind and live a fulfilled life. Life is too short to be gambling on investments because before that investment profit gains weight to buy car, man for don old oo.

Me sef don dey take am personal op abeg what ever rocks ur boat jare.
