I was in your position some months ago, I created thread here on nairaland to help me make a choice, I will tell you something, I had plan to buy Toyota pencil light, suddenly my interest switched to Honda baby boy because the Toyota camry was far above my budget. I later bought my Honda baby boy 2002 at 420k, though lucky from first user, let me tell you, Honda is a good car, since I bought that car no single issue infact the remaining 80k I used it for something else. Honda baby boy is a very good and reliable car, forget the bad mouth about it. I am enjoying the ride bro, very sweet to drive and never boring.

Dear O. P, i want to help you. Consider my advice one of the best you'll get here.

Since you are starter, never buy any expensive car for a start. Except you are really very rich. Am not sure you have driven very well before self. You will burn clutch and fall victim to high prices of part and repairs. And the more expensive your car, the more expensive its parts and repair billings.

For starters, i always advise volkswagen golf, in this your case, golf 3 will be the most appropriate car. Never buy golf 4 as advised by some people here.

You will find very neat, decent and very workable golf 3 that will travel anywhere in nigeria between 270 - 350k. Never buy any nigerian used volkswagen golf 3 for more than 350k.

Now golf 3 has very cheap parts and is very cheap to maintain. It has very low fuel consumption. And you can always love-vendor it to your taste to make you an average big boy.

To buy any fairly used vehicle, you need a very competent mechanic.
The twist about volkswagen is that "never take a mechanic that repair other brands especially toyota to go and inspect any volkswagen vehicle for a buy" they never know nothing or usually know little about volkswagen. They'll help waste your money. They will not be able to give you a good opinion about the car and its ideal worth against what the owner called it for you.

Since you have 500k to spare, if you buy a golf 3 from between 270k - 350. You'll have sufficient money to fix any fucking fault you might discover later. P:S be informed that there is no fairly used motor upon which you will not spend money to improve to your taste. Even tokunbo self you go spend small money. I have used an ample number of cars.

Now, if you have finally settled for volkswagen golf 3, you can reach out to me, i can give you my personal mechanic that i can vouch for to help you inspect cars and make a "buy" decision. Just give him money he will tell you all the truth about the vehicle. I repeat all the truth!

If you eventually want to settle for Toyota fairly used, don't settle for any less than 700k otherwise you are just buying problems except you dont mind corolla 01/02

I don't know much about nissan.

I have driven mazda 323 hatch back very very well. It moves well, portable and decent. But, i don't know much of the pros and cons. I never repaired it, i drove it for someone.

Enjoy yourself and pray to God for Goodluck on your car choice.

bros I just saw one golf 3 yesterday and I have inspected it with a car dealer that was once a mechanic of Volkswagen, the price we agreed on is 400k. he started the engine self I don't know engine is on, the battery is new and he just got 3 new tyres for the car. I'm not doing any mechanical works there except some little things like the safe key lock and small things inside the car. is it advisable I settle with it at that price as I was assured that I should use police to arrest him if the car give me problem for the period of 6 months after used



the second bolded was the advise I was given though I'm using it for commercial purpose

Car gurus in the house please kindly help me suggest which car would fit my budget,
I am actually planning to buy my first car as my family is growing big and moving from point A to B is becoming stressful for us, hence I decided to get a very good & sharp Nigerian used car with a budget of 500K max.

I want a car that is very durable, reliable, fuel efficient, cheap and accessible parts, meanwhile I don't want Toyota or Honda as they are too common on Nigerian roads & I also believe they re not the only best car options we can get. Though I am looking at Nissan Almera 2001, Nissan primera 2000 to 2002, VW Golf 3 and Mazda cars from 1999 to 2002 models.

Please kindly help me as I need your car expertise to decide which car to go for ASAP.

Go for 1912 Mercedes Benz.

That would be an expensive vintage benz, you for recommend benz 190 instead lol.

I recommend 'moto car Moto car, gentle little Moto car' very cheap, U go even collect change. DM me if interested

Oga Oga please don't make any mistake buying a brand that is not Toyota for now...

With my knowledge of Managing a Garage shop Toyota is the best for you for now in terms of easy maintenance and economy, remove Nissan from ur skull because they have little professional mechanics around.

Go for Toyota Orobo or 1998 Camry, my family has been using one for 6 yrs no palava.

Find it is very cheap or even 2001 Camry can go for that price and you can resell too and go for a higher one when God blesses You.

Keep your money and search more, No buy wahala o..

Buy wetin u fit sell anytime.

Keke napep self is not 500k

bro u can see 5th hand car in Nigeria with that amount

it cant even buy ordinary keke sef

With your budget I advise you should go for Nissan premira or Toyota model because both are Japanese and are durable for Nigerian roads. If you are buying any ensure it 4 plugs engine (small engine) and not injector, and also buy the one with manual gear, I assured you that u will enjoy the car with the features enumerated above.

DONT AGREE SIR,

CARS ARE NECESSITY IN SOME AREAS OR DOMAIN OR STATES, OR ELSE YOU WILL SUFFER EVEN WITH UR MONEY TO TRANSPORT YOUR SELF.

I ALWAYS HAVE SUCH MENTALITY THEN, BUT WHEN MY STORY CHANGED, I KNEW A CAR IS NECESSARY. EVEN IN A RENTED APARTMENT.

OP ITS YOUR CHOICE, JUST ENSURE U MEET THE RIGHT PEOPLE TO PUT THROUGH. WITH #500-#600K YOU WILL GET A BETTER CAR.

Okay sir, I see your POV

I only wish he can come back and create another thread after buying a 500-600 K car and let him tell us about how it's been faring.
I considered certain factors before jumping to that conclusion

Remember the OP wants and he has limited his ption by excluding Toyota and Honda .

I)Nobody is traveling abroad now oo, so distress sale isn't even, that's not to say he can't get a good car at that range. I wish him the very best of luck, heck I am rooting for him even.

With 200k u will get a clean tokunbo keke. Let's be realistic.

ednut1:
Keke napep self is not 500k

From my honest view please go for a tokunbo micra, please don’t buy any Naija used car with that #500k , you would be a perpetual visitor to mechanics and that can be suicide o

To those saying Nissan are bad, my questions is this, how many Nissan have you drive, do you even have any? Am used to some many brand and maker and I can tell you candidly than Nissan are one of the best in the world, how can you condemned what you don't know simply because you want to folsted you opinion on them. Must everybody drive Toyota why not let them go for what they want? Do you even know that Nissan has been in existence before Toyota, Do you know their Altima it's one of the most used foreign car in the US, Do you even know about their altimate GTR, and what about their Infiniti brand especially the G35! some even saying Mazda it's even better, common.

iii) Limiting his options has reduced his spare part availability, and pool of mechanic that have the technical know how to handle the brand he eventually goes for.

No be car, na today. You fit just dey drive make you hear kpra kpra kpra kpra engine belt don cut and nor be Toyota or Honda you buy.

That being said I truly hope he gets a good one though, good car dey give person piece of mind.

My advice sir, your mechanic can best determine whether you can buy at that price or not.

Did you price the car at all? If you haven't still price it. Forget all his sweet mouth. When you buy the car finish, na you get your palaver ooo, and bringing a police can't do anything.

Your mechanic will check the chasis, the engine 1.8 santana, 2.0 aluminium, 2.0 cast. Has it been ringed before? The present state of the engine, is it first body? If second body what is the state? Carburettor? Gear state? Suspensions including shocks, carburettor, electric carb, injector. These are so many things your mechanic will help you weigh and determine the best buy price.

Still on still, tell the dealer you are ready with 350k cash. Then get your mechanic to help you determine other things
