It depends on your investment strategy.

If I were to choose then land hands down. The way I think and my uniqueness then I can probably do both. I will buy cheap land in a not ready to inhabit areas for the future and buy a rolling bucket of bolts car that I can manage.

But I'm at an age and exposure where I've realized that I don't need to impress anyone grin

Maybe I should do a Toyota instead of Audi. But the issue is the Audi is payable in instalments... Toyota lump sum... What do you advise?

It depends on your current situation and what each of them does for you. Do you need the car for your business or for your family and kids? If yes, it makes little sense to me to buy a land and keep, and then have your children trekking everywhere.

But if the land investment is important to you, then you can forgo the temporary satisfaction of owning a car to secure the investment. This is why only you can answer the question, op.

People say a car is a liability but I disagree. If your car puts money in your pockets or saves you money, then it's an asset.

That's my own 2 cents on the matter.

Na wa,


A car is more important, nobody ordinarily will give you one if you can't afford it.


But even if you don't have a land or can't afford one; there'd always be land to bury you in

if think it depends on the nature of ur job. if your job cares more about your physical prestige then get a car first. eg: if you are a celeb u need a car seriously because it won't be nice keeping a plot of land somewhere and u take taxi to shows.
you can get a car if the car would bring more money to cater for the car and get land later on
if u don't have enuf money bro don't buy car, if the car wud stop people that are helping u to stop rendering assistance don't go near car coz ull regret it.
it can be offered as generalization that land is better but it all depends on the above factors and some more. thanks

Individual preference oh.
Like for Moi a car is far more pressing than land. In Abuja you gotta be mobile else taxis will suck you dry.

Not an easy decision now that young men want to get a ride to show they have arrived.

But if I have the finance for one, it will be channeled to getting a land. The benefits are numerous in the long-run.

both. One is an asset which appreciates with time (Land) while the other can be an asset which depreciates with time or Liability as the case may be

It depends on the motive. Mobility is as important, yet more pressing than owning a Land. Buying a car for the sake of utility and not luxury should come before owning a land. Investing reasonably in mobility would save you money and stress on the long run. Owning a luxurious car should however, only come after owning real estate.

Wow, see question. grin OP, I understand where you are coming from, truth be told a car is a necessity not a luxury, but when you start getting a ride that is utterly luxurious then it means that you are really comfortable to a point. While land appreciates, and it is an asset. Just do whatever is in your heart to do, you've already made a decision, you are just bringing this up for us to affirm your decision.

Get a land and stop making your landlord envious of your car if its better than his.

Both are important. If you have a growing family or the car is likely to add value to the kind of job you do, then car may be necessary.

But if it's just for luxury, then a piece of land is your best bet. Many people work offshore , sometimes three weeks in water and one week on land.

If your job is like that and you are still struggling economically, a car might not be necessary for now.

Buy the land and take the Audi. Since the arrangement allows you to pay in instalments. As long as you have the financial wherewithal to sustain such an arrangement. My 2 cents

in the eyes of an average Nigerian, it is a car.
but in reality, logic, and everything.
a land is more important than a car.

Well it depends... But I will rather advice you to get a land first, then if you still have some change left, keep the change and still keep working hard to save then you can get a car.

A wise man once said " Don't spend all your money on liabilities because the money you spent on liabilities is an asset to someone "
