Bmw, if u gat balls. I waded in 2015 till date... still in the game.
4 bmw , i tried 3 Toyota tho, but las las went back to my devil BMW 😈.



Just make sure u get the toks, I don't like N-engines, L6 are the best.



Ur BUDGET small oo

Whatever you do OP, never ever buy a BMW as your first car. Start with a toyota or Honda jeje. When you become very okay, you can then jump to a BMW or mercedes

On your budget it's quite okay from experience and from cars I sell you should get a Camry 06 naija used and it's like 1.5 cause no matter how you get a clean car you still would get somethings fixed y yourself, so I would advice you use the remaining 300 to fix anything fixable to your taste and I mean to your taste even you gonna have change to flex around...my candid opinion though...

Hello nairalanders,
It’s with great pleasure that I start this thread about purchasing my first car.
Mid last year, I determined I was going to buy a car and started saving rigorously to try get one…trust me it has been a grand journey …suddenly there was no more henessy, Martel kept staring every night out but I was always like ‘baba chill,I Dey save’… I don’t earn much but I am so tired of jumping buses and Okada and most painfully paying big money to e-hailing………………
you go still see Corolla sport for 1.5 self but na clean Nigeria use some got one last year November period 1.3 and it's okay try some you might be lucky look for a good mechanic that is trusted and know allot about car and their engine go and inspect it with him na my account be this 9037708654 opay account thanks 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I will be needing (please) the help of the gurus here to choose the best ride for that price (1.8m) at most ….

My options
A clean Toyota Camry (2004 ——)
A clean Honda civic (2006 ——-)
And the cleanest and best cars available fr my price range
(By clean I mean body , interior ,gear and engine)

I have been a nairalander for a couple of years and I know that if there is a place I can get help or get scammed then it’s here on nairaland but then so also anywhere else has its + / -

Just go through this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/4696641/official-car-comparison-recommendation-thread

And get Heavenlybang and Nurey to help there with choosing your first car. There are also great people on the thread though.

For me I will only recommend Toyota Corolla, Toyota Yaris and Honda Civic 2008 as first car.

Re: Buying My First Car by Sleektiger: 5:57pm On Mar 15, 2023
If you can't wait anymore then get the Camry 04/05, its durable and fuel economical + a good foreign used might be a little dicey cuz of your budget. But who knows, u might see. Most dealers are putting their cars on distress sell, so look around you might be favored. BUT, if you can hold on for a Lil longer and get the Camry 2008-2010. Its a more better buy and you'll be happy you did finally. Just saying thou

With 1.8M you can't get a Tuks of those Cars you mentioned. In fact you can only get that Honda for that amount but that Toyota, a Nigerians used is about 2,2 to 2.5M for now.
Keep saving, double your hussle and get a Tuks of that Toyota, you won't regret it

N1.8m won't get you a "clean" car.

From N2.5m you can get a clean 2007 Toyota Corolla

Go to driving school but make sure you have a car after learning to perfect your skills.

Go for Honda civic as a beginner, very low maintenance cost and fuel efficiency.
I use my Civic if I have plenty run around to do than my Camry 2010 and my SUV.

2006 Honda Civic doesn't experience problem of legs or shaft pulling off from the inner cup, it happens mostly with Honda civic, Accord, EOD 1997 to 2004.

And best of all just like Toyota you will always get a good value anyday you decided to trade it.
I will recommend Honda Civic 2006

In Nigeria of today, N1.8 million can only get you a Naija used car that will make you know all the mechanics in your area. You will lose your sleep, peace of mind and appetite. All your salary will continue to go into repairs of the vehicle.

Naija is a messed up country else I would have asked you to invest the money somewhere for now, but which investment is viable in Nigeria of today?

Motor no be wetin person dey save 5k per month to buy. In Nigeria of today, for you to buy a vehicle that will make sense, you need nothing less than N4m for sedan and N6m for SUV.

Sorry if my post breaks your heart but that is just the reality.

All the best.



Yes that is the reality of life you just speak out , you too get sense my broda..

Don't go for a car that will turn you into a mechanic.

FIRST THINGS FIRST. IF YOU DONT HAVE A BUSINESS START ONE. IF YOU HAVE, BUILD IT. IF YOU MUST BUY A CAR BUY TOYOTA GOOD QUALITY NIGERIAN USED. TELL A TRUSTED MECHANIC TO HELP YOU SEARCH IN CASE ONE OF HIS CLIENTS THAT MAINTAINS THEIR CAR VERY WELL WANTS TO SELL AND IN THAT CASE NOT MORE THAN 1.2M. DONT USE YOUR SEED MONEY TO BUY CAR
