1994 Toyota Liteace - Hand me down from my mum - Age 19 (Free)
1986 Nissan Bluebird SGX - Hand me down from cousin - Age 23 (He asked for N140k but I never paid him even after I sold it for N180k 6months later )
Toyota Hilux - Office Car - Age 26
Toyota Condor - Office Car - Age 26
1998 Toyota Corona - Office Car - Age 27
2005 Peugeot 307 - Office Car - Age 27
2005 Toyota Corolla - Office Car - Age 28
2005 Toyota Corolla - Office Car - Age 30 (paid N400k for this when I was leaving the firm but I sold it almost immediately after so I never owned it)
2004 Honda Accord - Paid N1.9m for it but it wasn't registered in my name and only drove it 5% of the time so technically not my car
2008 Honda - Finally! - Paid N3.2m and was registered to me - Age 33

#Please note that I have had other non-car 'vehicles' bought and owned by me the first of which was a 1990s Suzuki GSX-F bought at age 21

Siena: My first car was a brand new Volkswagen Beetle. It was a birthday present when I turned 17. I lived in Benin-City back then.

The first car I purchased with my own money was a 1983 Audi 80 GL 3-speed auto, when I returned to the UK back in 1990. I paid the lowly sum of £50 for her, and ran her for two years.

Justosaus: how come EVERYBODY seems to have bought a car before the age of thirty? In this Nigeria?

pafestula:

But permit me to say that my first car was bought in 1977: It was a VolksWagen Beetle 1,300 cc
The total cost was N2,660.00. Of course, it was BRAND NEW - from NITECHO Osogbo. Super Petrol then, cost only 10 kobo per litre. To fill up your tank that is entirely empty was less than N4.00 (Four Naira)

I was then aged 24 yrs - and a Graduate Assistant in the University.

This car was sold to a colleague for N3,500 in 1987 - 10 years later. By then, I was having an official car a Peugeot 504 SR bought in January 1983 and another personal car (also a Peugeot 504) for my wife. This second Peugeot car was actually bought from SCOA Apapa in April 1984 because of the 'Odd and Even No' regime in Lagos. We left Lagos (for good) in 1985.

My wife then used this car for 25 years (from 1987 when she learnt driving) until I was forced to 'retire' the car with a replacement. She is the most wonderful angel. Our paths crossed as Primary School classmates in 1959 (now you know!)

God has been so kind: as both of these Peugeot cars are still in our compound and are still ACTIVE (if you don't mind power-assisted steering, automatic gear, windows, air-conditioner) offered by the Toyotas, Datsun Ultima and the Hondas we (the 'children' have grown up and have their cars, too!) now use.

Very occasionally, I still take a cruise in the 1984 Peugeot. It has been wonderful for this 29 year old member of the family! It has really been wonderful (But alas, I have to end this with 'GONE ARE THOSE DAYS.....')
