Before you buy your first car, make sure you have extra savings at least half price of the car.

Mechanics, friends, family and colleagues shall take their rights.

Also, should your car get faults, people will first ask about your car before asking about you or your family
what kind of advice be this ? It is off discourse now ..

Good day Fam,

I'm an average salary earner and I'll be buying my first car soon preferably Honda EOD 2005 Toks but I've got mixed feelings considering the wide complaints about the spec.

I've been dreaming of that car for long hence your advise is highly solicited on the pros and cons. I don't want a car that will drain me financially. Toyota corolla is another option but my budget can't exceed that.

What should i look out for?

EOD is one of the strongest cars ever made by Honda. I have driven mine for 8 years now, and have refused to sell it. I own others cars but EOD delivers whenever i call upon it

If your concern is extremely low maintenance, then Corolla for sure..
if you like the prestige and performance, then eod for sure.. just remember to stay away from the v6 engines of that year.. they were notoriously good at damaging your gearbox.. it's a cost you dont need..

4 cylinder with good maint history should be perfect.. remember to be very careful with the supporting struts and suspension.. you know the typical Honda fear..

The Camry of the same year is poor on equipment and looks bland inside. Else I would have advised for that one.
Plus, the Corolla is just a thief magnet grin

In summary, I'll say go for the Honda.. take care of your car and in return you'll enjoy her..

No, but you see the way he's lamenting that he doesn't want the car to drain his money.
Says alot about how much that he will be left in his account after fighting to impress his street girls.
He should invest the money, or give himself sometime to garner enough money to buy good and quality car instead of buying gwura gwura. Cos he will still abandon it to get another car when another money comes in.
Waste of fund.

Can we get married already? All expenses on me.

The corolla madness in this country is too much abeg. Wtf is wrong with Nigerians and their bandwagon mentality?

Must it always be Corolla and Accord? Look at other options: Toyota Yaris, VW Passat, Mazda 6, etc. You can even get more recent models of these brands at same cost.

By the way, I hope you have some reasonable sum of money saved somewhere for contingencies? The idea of using one's life savings to acquire not just a car but one as old as a 16 or 17 year old University student, is extremely nauseating.

May God deliver us from the stronghold of poverty and senseless struggle in this country.

We have different tastes and choices in life...since your dreamed car is EOD why not buy a good one for yourself and leave the rest for God . When I bought my first car,I tell you ,I had fear on how to sustain its maintenance but looking back today ,I can say the fear was unfounded . Don't let anyone discourage you ,every car is good provided you have good maintenance culture.. From Datsun bluebird,to Benz,Camry ,Ford villager ,Siena & Avenssus,I had no serious issue with any of them because I ensured they are well maintained .That is the key my brother.. Wishing you best of luck as get your dreamed car

So car is your priority?
With your small change that you still need to invest in more profitable business, it's car to carry ladies up and down that's your problem.

Even Rolls Royce and Ferrari’s have their own issue but some cars are more evil than others. If you decide to go down that Corolla route, be sure to install a tracker and make sure you do comprehensive insurance (no two ways about it) . As per that Accord, if you should buy it, make sure you use recommended transmission fluids (NOT ABRO OR ANY NONSENSE O, contact Luvinghubby if you have doubts) also check your legs regularly in order to prevent stories that touch. Me ? I prefer 07/08 >>> Civic but that’s just me

The bold perception is very very wrong
I guess it is as a result of poverty
Not everyone buy a car to carry women, if you work in city, you will know d important of car. How about rev. Fathers, do they also buy car to carry women?

Bro go for your mind, i bought my first car Honda DC for 1.5M 2007 model, i feel like buying another one, it gives me all i needed.

Toyota is overrated and unnecessary expensive, everything in life require maintenance, if you give the necessary attention and maintenance to it, you will enjoy it.
