Is It Advisable To Buy #3,500,000 Car As A Contract Staff. by mascot345: 6:40pm On Aug 30, 2020
Please , advice needed . I feel so tempted to buy this Mercedes Benz. My monthly salary is just 350k. I have negotiated with the seller ,,, He gave me #3.5million. I am just a contract staff.

My company can decide to sack me anyday, anytime. We are always afraid. Or they might decide not renew our contracts.

Every staff is always afraid of losing his job or contract renewal. And every staff is always saving for rainy day.

80% scam..

And if you really need it I suggest you see the car Face to Face to Face and Know The Real Owner Of The Car To Avoid Seeing Post Like "I Bought My First Car In Life And They Still Scam Me"

Is better you save the money or if you can't save it Just Use It And Buy BITCOIN OR ETHEREUM and just store it cos as days goes by there's a big Possiblity that it's gonna high and earn you some profits...

If you would buy Bitcoin or ETHEREUM,I suggest you learn more deeply about it and how it works before venturing into it....

Please be careful as cars do not appreciate in value. Get something smaller to move around if it is important? You can get a luxury car when things are more certain in terms of your status.

This particular Benz is not really a luxury type but can be expensive to maintain... If you can afford the maintenance Good luck...


I really don't wanna advice you but I know you matured enough to make your own decisions... But I guess purchasing a land worth 2.5m then fence it around with 500k is better... You can keep the land for 4 years or 5 then sell it around 4m to 5m... Real estate is one of your best assets now..

Make the right decision
Good Luck bro...

Are you asking for advice on whether to buy, or your mind is already made up and you just want to ask about the genuineness of this deal?

IMO, it depends on d confidence your bank statement is giving you as a contract staff without job security. It will only make you look rich and not make you rich.

Bear in mind that most Igbo billionaires you see today started their trade/businesses with much less than that. So it all boils down to what exactly you want out of life. grin

Buy the car @mascot after inspection and it has no issues.
Forget all this ones asking you to get a land .
They are so eager to tell another what they won’t do.
Buy the wheels , another opportunity will still come your way if sacked .
Package yourself well and attract a better job.

you're right....Anything can either be an asset or liability depending on how you utilized or maximized it, a car, house, phone, relationship, anything whatsoever can either be an asset or liability.

When I read what you wrote...I felt pity for you
A man whose job is not secured, the first thing he is thinking is to buy a car, expensive and high maintenance car because he earns 350k per month as a contractor. You think you are now rich..
3.5m(less than $10k) is 10months of your salary... Won't you eat or buy essentially things...
Who in their right mind think of liabilities when he can be sacked at anything? People with poverty mentality...I don see em now make I use em now mentality... Instant gratification.
I earn exactly that, a permanent job and I can decide to leave my job, another one will be there waiting ( cos of my profession) I have never thought of a car, because I don't need it...and if I need it..I will buy a car with moderate price and not a flashy or expensive car..
Let me give you a rule...If you don't have double the amt of the money you want to use to buy a liability, don't buy...but for an asset...You can borrow..
If you must show a car to get a contract, why don't you hire a car during the negotiation period, after the contract is done...You send the car back.
Don't allow broke and poor people teach you how to use money, hence the reason they are broke and poor..
Be wise bro, I was thinking like you bro, liabilities, liabilities, liabilities. my money sooner than later parted because I was a fool ...Use this period to read Financial Books and meet a financial advisor, it is worth it.. .you will learn a lot about money..

A FOOL AND HIS MONEY ARE SOON PARTED.

Rather than buying a car with that ridiculous amount with an insecure job, baba save that amount for a good business. if you really need a car, you can go for a car within the range of 1.5 to 1.7m. moreover that Benz isn't cheap to maintain. the parts are expensive too.

I really appreciate your advice. I am a transmission engineer. Thanks alot.
I am still single too. Maybe my bank account is just deceiving me. But I need to manage my money so that I won't go back to poverty.

My company gave me a moderate car for official use. I don't really have much responsibilities at home or in my family.
