This is really a nice thread. I am fully aware that it is not a force to be a car owner, it is not a crime to seek elder's councel as well. Pls, how do I get a golf 1 or old model toyota starlet with 2 doors for prizes below 200k? Advice will be appreciated n abuse will be welcomed. |

konari: If you know someone who works in a bank or an oiI company(or any multinational) preferably a senior staff, you can ask the person to place a bid for you whenever the company is flinging their cars. These companies usually sell their official cars to staff at give away prices. So you might be lucky to get a fairly recent model of car at a give away price. It pays to know people in "personnel" and/or "human resources" departments.Noted |

Bro ur best bet for cheap cars is at cotonou, I promise you I know peeps who have bought nice cars(in good states) for reeeeally cheap prices at cotonou, but make proper inquiries about the state of the car or extra costs when bringing the car across d border...contact a person who's been doing it. Anyway, You cud get a good manual transmission Audi 80 model wif 400k, 400k+ cud also get u a gud toks opel Vectra also manual transmission, VW's golf 3-Jetta 3, is within range, so is Nissans Micra, Sunny and Primera, Toyotas 95 Carina is included, if you are ready to put up wif retro "Benz issues" a 190benz is within range wif 400k+, BMW's 94 3 series is a good car and its within reach at 400k ... I mean I'm just saying, but your options could be increased when you get there you never can tell, but I advice if ur income is low, just stay off automatic transmission cars... I'm just saying. |
| Re: Cheap Cars For Low Income Earners? by olaojo: 9:59am On Jul 04, 2012 |
Go for Audi 80 very reasonable for your budget |

It pays to know people in "personnel" and/or "human resources" departments. If the op is to bank on this advice, then he should be ready to wait till eternity. Need i tell u that the company car flinging stuff comes almost once a decade. secondly, staff of such companies are always interested and even lobby to buy them whenever its up for grab. Like in an oil company i served management staff were disqualified to tender. plus the army of junior staff that applies will have to rely on luck as raffle draw method is applied. I was really tempted cos non of the cars are above 70k. I even used a junior staff ID to apply(with his approval though) but wasnt fortunate. |

I work for a company that deals in BRAND NEW TEAR RUBBER VEHICLES CHEVROLET, especially, both jeeps, cars, and den 4x4. Usually we lease them brand new to companies, who use them for 2yrs and return them (some are less than 20,000mph, some are 14,000) so after that we put them up for sale to either staff or outsiders. Our chevy cars goes btwn 600k to 800k, depending. All our vehicles are 2008 models. We even have Hiace Bus (Hummer Bus), Toyota Coaster (some are used as staff bus), so if u are interested in buying any, call me on 08034157602, or 08053099626. But as at today, d only remaining stock is a hummer bus, coasters and 4x4 (ford). PLS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE CALLED ME ALREADY, MY OFFICE IS IN PORTHARCOURT. D-LINE |

afrobaby: From all have been reading, can I conclude that automatic cars are more expensive to maintain than manual cars, please enlighten me o Afrobaby, reasons why manual drives are prefared over automatics on low budgets; 1-*major reason*manuals are more fuel efficient than automatics, hence cheaper to run. 2-unlike Used manual cars, a "used" automatic car stands the higher risk of having transmission problems sooner or later(esp honda's) its best buying a fairly new automatic or brandnew automatic- so you can avoid heartbreak. "Those who know understand what I mean". 3-a manuals powertrain is less complicated than an automatics powertrain making manuals cheaper to fix if there are transmission faults. 4-automatic transmission systems have a higher tendency of transaxle damage than manual transmission. 5-if you are too broke to call in a mechanic, try pushing an automatic to start if it stalls  |
