i get your drift, am a total novice when it comes to autos thats why am on the search for a durable and strong car, i live in area with bad road network hence my preference for large vehicle. As for business, one lesson i learned is that the more you invest in so many businesses the more crazy you become and whenever stress knocks on the door you might loose your mind.

For a first time car owner, you should go for something that's not too complicated, something that you will enjoy, very reliable coupled with cheap maintenance.

First choice is Lexus RX330 and it's not up to 7 million, so you will have 3milion extra to hold body and soul....

But just incase you don't like the RX 330, you can go for it's elder brother the RX350 (goes for about 7million)

@OP - I present to you - The 2010 Audi Q7. It goes for around 6.5Million depending on our bargaining power. It's durable, reliable & very rugged.

You pay me consultation fee of 650k which is just 10%. I give gazzuzz 65k which is 10% of my consultation - to buy about 20cartons of Orijin. grin

Gazzuzz, in turn distributes these orijins to Nurey, Mayor2013, Ikenna351, Honmusa, Kingreign & Sooperrescue. grin

Y is this important - you might ask? It is because when the car eventually breaks down, they will be the 1 to diagnose & fix it - free of charge since they're all professional auto-mechanics. grin cheesy grin

thank you for your selfless outline, indeed the list is long, hopefully i will select from one of them. My preferences from your list are the toyotas but i have a deep affection for Lx 570 or any good trucks because of bad road network but like they said, one really don't know what car he will go home with when he enter a car stand.

2010 LX570 may be above your quoted budget. Besides LX570 is not what you NEED, it's just what you WANT.

The problem with Nigerian car acquisition is most buy what they want and leave what they need, then the wahala will now start.

my brother i love your advice, to be sincere i've thought of these before, am a first time car owner but i've been in haulage truck biz for many years. Am a car freak and love latest rides, my gallerie and portfolio is full of cars and my pdf is enamoured with vehicle brochures. My aim was to visit Coscharis but i don't need heart attack for now.grin

why did you say Lx 570 is not what i need? Like i said, am a first time car owner, i no experience whatsoever when it comes to private vehicles, maybe you can lead me through. I have a strong preference for Lx 570 because it is huge, rugged, and have enormous space to accomodate luggages and would be handful for me because i transport a lot of motor parts. Another car on my list which can serve that purpose is Truck and Toyota Tundra is my top pick. If there is any other reason why Lx isn't what i need please do enlighten me.Thanks

The LX570 is a full size luxurious SUV

It was designed to seat 7-8 people and carry their cargo for camping, travelling, site seeing etc I doubt if you have a total family of 6 in all.

The LX570 comes with a powerful V8 engine. Yes it's V8 is not the fastest or the quickest or the most rugged engine fitted in SUV

The LX570 is a luxurious SUV you are meant to be driven in it. From your write up, nah you go dey drive am not too befitting.

The LX570 is an SUV, yes, there are other trucks, SUV and CUV that will do the same or better off road experience in any road in Nigeria that the LX570 will pass.

Use it for hauling is a no no, suspension parts will worn out especially if it's air suspension, best advice is to look at something designed for that purpose.

So you want a luxurious vehicle, able to haul goods, be comfortable and convenient but still rugged and easy to work on by technicians, will still appear beautiful and be appealing to the eye. Most of all loaded to the tooth I think i have some suggestions

Ford F150 platinum or SVT raptor
Toyota Tacoma
Nissan Frontier/navara
Honda Ridgeline

But the final decision is still yours to make

Re: Advice Me On Getting My First Car by Somatic(m): 8:42pm On Sep 15, 2017
Since you need something sturdy enough to handle business items yet pleasing enough to cruise around town, my choices may be limited to:
2010-12 F150
2011 Ford Explorer
2008-12 Toyota Highlander
2007/8 RX 350
2006-11ML 350
2007-9 GL450

For me oh. My eyes has been on 2014 Honda accord.

However... 2007/2008 RX350 should be your best SUV bet. cheers!
