While there is nothing wrong in buying and owning a car, cars are meant to serve so purpose not just to impress the society......

If you look around major Mechanic workshops you will see many parked vehicles of different varieties with so left for so long due to inability to afford the maintenance costs......no winder, the scrap dealers are cashing out from there


See how a whole Range Rover is humiliated in my neighbourhood'.

These cars are not easy to maintain, new parts get to be programmed from the factor with the aid of coding after fixing and it’s expensive
These are electrical vehicles, image the engine of the sports model 2015 costing a million

as the saying goes:"Today, so many gullible people are buying things they don't need, with money they don't have, to impress people they don't like"

When you come enter bike or Keke people around the neighbourhood will be wondering why you do not drive your range rover.You go even dey uncomfortable.
Cars like that range rover cannot be repair by a roadside mechanic.Na computer dem dey use detect the fault and if you drive am to a repair workshop you go first pay #20k as registration before dem go open the car.The #20k is not part of the repair.
Aswear, owning a car as that is a problem not enjoyment because by the time the car get fault and mechanic bill you,you go begin get depression.

I still don't understand why people buy such cars when they don't have verrry deep pockets to maintain them. After paying soooo much to finally drive it home..... problems begin when the foreign gas runs low .... and filled up with the local gas. Most of these cars are super sensitive .... gas not of the required quality?... problems to follow. Then who has the knowledge and experience and equipment to effect repairs? They might as well part out the car.

Sorry to say... but too many shallow minded poverty mentality folks in the thread.

All cars from 2010 above are Digitally inclined, as virtually all have OBD plugs. To scan and detect faults. Which makes repairs easier and a simple scan would lead to parts to be changed. The world would keep progressing and not remain stagnant for Africa as we even have electric cars today.

The problem we have in Nigeria is mechanics whom have refused to upgrade and users whom never pay attention to their cars. Your feed yourself, workout and do regular check ups to maintain your body, your car should be treated accordingly aswell. In cars, when you catch the fault young, it saves you a lot of stress rather than when it escalates.

That rangerover is a very solid car, with regular required maintenance, the engine lid may not be opened for years, the balloon shocks can take you for years without change while all you need is a N5,000 calibration when you detect irregularities. Cars dont last a lifetime unless well maintained. Moreover we should understand that it does its job by getting you from point A to B in grand style, gives you all the accolades and tags, comfort and bridges, yet putting in considerate proper care is termed excessive.

No go dey do pass yourself. To have the mentality of impressing people when you no too dey gallant is the beginning of doom and downfall.

Most people wey dey live to impress people, nah dem dey live fake life pass.

Funny thing be say those wey them dey impress no even send

Just live your life freely, when u never reach D real level no dey fake àhm say u don reach ahm

Breeze go soon blow and your yansh go dey open

Go buy a Honda or Toyota something that's cheap to maintain.
And something that would last for you.
