Bought a brand new Hyundai accent 2012 under GEJ administration for N2.8 million. That was my first car.....and people will say PDP time was bad. Nigerians go learn lesson by force!

It most certainly can. Get yourself a Honda Accord. It'll serve well for that price.

Don't go for Accord. It consumes fuel a lot. Honda Civic is better

Interesting. Thanks a lot

It will NEVER EVER be well with the APC and everyone that has anything to do with them for bringing Nigeria down to this sorry state.
My first car was a tokunbo Toyota Corolla SE 2006 model of which cost me N1.6m back in November of 2013.

Sadly, this is now our reality.

Don't answer that young man. You'll get a good accord for that price. Honda Civic saves more fuel but has a recurrent overheating problem. Accord will give you better drivability and durability. You can send me a personal message for further enquiries.

I think with the increase in pump price of fuel, and considering the fact that you have to ask if 2.5m naira can get a decent car, you shouls suspend that idea of buying a car for now. Fueling and maintaining that car might gulp 2.5m naira before the years runs out. My two cent though.

Two cents noted. Thank you

Even 2m will get u a very well maintained Naija used car in good working condition. Just stick to Honda and Toyota.
2.5m will get u a nice honda EOD, Camry Big daddy, a honda Civic, or maybe Honda Evil spirit

Thank you for this. I am honestly avoiding EOD for (I'm sure you know why) obvious reasons.

I presently own a Mercedes Benz C24, very clean and with perfect engine. Ac perfect, interior very clean.
I could give you for that 2.5m instead of my planned price of 3m.

Tempting. Thank you

erico2k2:

Answer is NO, you will probably get a Nigerian used one which mostly would have been abused, however if you had not bought or used a direct tokumbo b4, you might not know the difference.

Ok, noted.

That's based on your own opinion and limited knowledge. That amount can get a decent nigerian used Honda Civic 2004 or a Toyota Matrix nigerian used of same year without mechanical issues.

Thats not true. A well maintained faultless Nigerian used with verifiable papers iƟ more than that, he can get EOD or pencil though
troytino:


that amount can buy u a decent Nigerian used Accord 2008 - 2011
Re: Can 2.5M Buy You A Decent Car? by prof22(m): 8:07pm On Jan 24
Did you type this in 2020/21? Toks big daddy sells for 4.5m - 5m as from June 2023 - december (It is more now). So you want to buy 6months to 1year used with N2.5m? I love comedy shows

There's nothing wrong with EOD its a solid car. The shaft doesn't just break overnight or suddenly, it must have been giving that breaking sound for a while before it finally gives way so maintenance culture is the key.
