First Time Car Owner I Need Help by Kustask: 7:35pm On Jun 21
It's my first time getting a car and a bit skeptical, I have a 4m at the moment , 4m for below 010 Nigerian used ride and I earn 200k month salary and single

I won't be doing long traveling with it.


Can my salary maintain this car?

Why not? But ensure you buy a pocket friendly Car, talking abt a Toyota or Honda.

Sure
Very possible
But when buying Nigerian used its best to keep extra money to repair the worn out parts from previous owner.
Doing that would make the car be in an above average shape before you start using.
That’s the part most people miss, they use their last card to buy Nigerian used without fixing or touching up
And when the car starts showing them shege they start blaming their village people .

You can surely get a decent one. Just don't rush things. Take your time. Money is not easy to come by now.

Can your salary maintain a 4m car?
Hummm. Whatever you do, make sure you get a car in pretty good mechanical condition or that requires only minor fixes because a bad car can be terrible for your finances. 200k used to be a whole lot in Nigeria for a single person who doesn't splurge recklessly, not these days now unfortunately.
With my monthly income car problems have showed me shege this year.
