You need to evaluate your mental health sir

If you cannot read to understand


Relative to income, no country has more outrageously unaffordable Bills than Nigeria, look at food inflation being 18000% since the 80s..how much has income increased? Abroad you can easily afford your Bill's when you're fully employed but in Nigeria u cant.

You're still missing the point.

The price of freshly imported cars affects the price of locally used cars. It's simple economics. We're not talking about abroad but our local economy here in Nigeria.

My last reply to you.

You're reasoning in the wrong direction.

Inflation is a major factor. Price of freshly imported cars affects price of locally used cars.

The inflation in the country today isn't unassociated with the foolish Economic Policies.

A nation with solid Economic policies/ real time administration of justice will go far

Engines of most automobile models can run well into 7 figure milages.
The key first of all is the luck in getting a vehicle with a quality engine off the production line in the first place then a first or series of owners that diligently maintained the unit with OEM parts and then obviously driven in a relatively benign environment.

These three factors put to get her are very, very, few and far between.

Sincerely speaking, I have done 185km/hr in 2010 with my Honda Accord, Baby Boy. On my way to Kano State from Abuja. I was very young and extremely in my mid-forty then. But can't go beyond 120-130 now max out of fear of course.

You were very young at mid forty? This here has changed my mindset from today

You're too stubborn to learn.

A used car costs 1m in 2015. USD at the time was 250/$ so the importer may have bought it for $3k+other expenses.

Now, if an importer buys a used car for sale $3k, he will sell for 2m because usd is now 500/$.

So even though the car depreciates, the value is higher because of inflation ad exchange rates.

Because these imported cars are now expensive due to exchange rates, people will be forced to look at locally used ones.

When locally used sellers see many customers, they increase the price of their cars and benefit from competition.

What is Nigeria’s inflation rate?

How can A sardine be sold for N650?

Our second highest currency note cannot buy 1 Titus sardine?

A family size loaf of bread is N700?

How exactly are we not worried that a car that cost like N1,400,000 around 5 years ago now costs like N4,000,000+ .....when it should cost around 800k - 900k after 5 years?

The car must be depreciating abroad but appreciating in Nigeria

Stupid Nigerians and foolish
economy policies has turned liabilities into assets. NIGERIANS ARE COLOSSAL FOOLS

I keep telling them grin

They only start thinking when food, money or sex is directly/immediately involved. Now everyone is selling PTA and the naira is in a death spiral. Shortsightedness...

sirblend:

He said it was with a 2010 Honda. Lets even assume he bought the car brand new in 2010 and the said incident also happened same year when he was in his mid forty. Now, 2010 till today 2021 is just 11 years.

How does 11years added to forty something years make it double?

His current age cannot be more than 57 plus or minus 2.

Have you heard of mid life crises? As a generally note, from mid forties, the correct age classification term is Mid-life, time when you begin to soberly reflect on what you have done with your life do far. No one is very young at mid forties.

My advice; don't buy a car with an Odometer above 150,000 Cars like that have the potential of failing fast and making you spend a lot of money in mechanic workshop.
