Bro u already said ur office is close to where u live.. IMO leave that car first .. I earn more than u earn now (for bout 20 months now) and I no dey reason motor, I have peeps I join to work tho.

Guy leave that motor matter first cos if motor do u sometimes esp as its not brand new. Apart from the maintenance , some unexpected failures will happen after all its a machine.

U feel cool joining in someones car, fuel, AC, radio, comfort, but no owing yours??

Thanks guys for the contributions but basically what I am seeing here are two school of thoughts, people who see a car as luxury and those who see it as a necessity

Some peeps view jumping from keke to danfo, danfo to okada, fighting with conductor and so on as a way of life

isn't investing in ur life, comfort, and so on part of an investment??

Thanks guys for your contributions, seeing different views from different school of thoughts

Specialist900:
spot on.

all he tried to say was that your earlier said where you work isn't far from where you stay. He then assumed that since you stay with your folks there should be a utility vehicle for you to use at home.

In his opinion in which I seem to buy now, he said for now you don't need the car. It will pay you better if you invested the cash.

point well taken, thanx

DGD1:
since u want a car, DAT salary is OK, I wonder y alot of people think you have to earn 200k and above to own a car.
if you can save to get a toks or good naija used car, all you need do is just to fuel and do routine maintenance NUREY has given you breakdown, dat is on the high side.
using a car is beta n saves alot of stress, though I don't stay in Lagos, 2500 fuel will last me a week BT if I consider public transport will b spending @least 2000, now think of d stress from one taxi to d oda, no privacy, sum ppl will just talk to u any aw, d stress n discomfort, I bliv if am paying 500 for DAT, it Worth's it.
bro go 4 d car n u won't regret.

Noted, thanks for your contribution

He met his waterloo

I want a clean Nigerian used EOD, my budget is N650,000. If you have any for sale and ready to discus business within that price range, kindly drop a line. A good corolla will also be considered.

Bros did u see the topic??

GAZZUZZ:
My own opinion, you don't need a car, save the money for a business, marriage, investment................ I'm sure there's a utility car where you live.

So basically everybody that has a car earns more than 100k, is married or has investments??

The people that come out to rule us

GAZZUZZ:
Not enough info to give you a resonable response, break down what you do with 100k every month (dstv, rent, transport, food savings.....)

After that it will be easy to answer.

I spend like 18k on transport and feeding monthly, my office is close to where i stay and i still stay with my folks and i can comfortably save 60k monthly

Hope that's enough

pdp getting ready for one last rigging

davou4eva:
Bros, getting a car is not a luxury but a necessity. Just ensure to get a car that you can maintain within your income and ensure to be serious about the maintenance. I bought my first car when i was earning less than 100k and am already using my third car, i mean, i will sell the one am using and add some amount of money to buy new one. It's all about been prudent in your spending. Best

Thanks, A Honda Accord fits this bill right?

nurey:
100k can't maintain a car, I disagree with this, a car isn't necessarily be seen as a luxury, but as a means of making life easier. If you spend close to #500 a day for transport come on for a week its #2500 even that I can use for close to a week on a V6 3.0L, I magine if the op was driving a corolla with 1.6L engine or 1.8L engine it will make a lot of sense.

How much does it cost to service a car at a go
Engine oil 12K x 3
Filter let's say 2K x 3
Brakepads 24k for a year all legs
Miscellaneous 20k
Total for a year 86,000
And you would have earned 1.2m in a year remove the maintenance from it u still have 1.1m to spend

Since I have been using my car for a year (clean title tokunbo) I have not even spent 50k on it for a year I just change oil twice a year, filter, brakes and bulbs for the lights.

I was surprised too, some people earn less and still use and maintain cars

wow, dats awful

blacktoy:
If u forget the history or u re still young in age, this man(balarabe musa) was the forst nigeria governor impeached on corruption charge

Wow, and he still has the effrontery to call shots in Nigeria and the only reason i remember him was because there is a street named after him in VI

edozie04:
Ease of movement ie eko for show, I strongly advice you use that money to buy a land, it will appreciate over time,100k basic is a no salary to use to maintain a car

Thanks

edozie04:
Getting a car is not the problem but maintaining it is the problem, ask yourself, what do you need the car for? business or just eko for show, if it's for business then go ahead but for the latter do not try it

Bro its not like i wanna buy a range rover, just for ease of movement and life in general

PS- i work in an office and d car is not for business

Hi Guys

I have a job and i earn 100k per month and i am thinking of getting a car(been on the job for a bit), but i am planning maybe year ending, i want some advise from my good people in the house if it would be advisable.

P.S - i dont have much responsiblity at the moment i am 25 and i am also bettering myself with some certifications.

Thanks as you advise and not insult me, lol

EMMARCHMOVIES:
New Beginning!
I was left in tears when i read Presidents
Goodlucks
congratulatory message to Gen. Buhari
I was not crying because i felt like crying, i was not
crying cause i supported him and he lost, but i cried
cause his words arrested my emotions.
He wished his opponent a good administration
ahead, he congratulated him and accepted defeat.
I could remember by this time in 2011, Buhari never
accepted that he lost, he promised Jonathan that
he will
make his administration ungovernable for him and
he later fulfilled his promise. His supporters took to
the streets and slaughtered innocent Nigerians but
he never stopped the killings.
But today, he has won that same man that defeated
him in 2011 but got a congratulatory message
instead of threats. He has wished him success and
not promising him an ungovernable tenure.
Few weeks to the election, the people we call our
leaders were busy sending threats to themselves
and
leaving the poor masses gripped with fear. Some
people left the country with fear of the aftermath of
the election. But today you'v restored peace by
accepting defeat peacefuly.
Oh! Jonathan, you've shown us that you'r a good
man. You'v shown African leaders the true definition
of democracy. You wished not to influence the
elections with your powers, you wished not to
cancel
the election when you can do it and nothing will
happen.
Posterity will never forget you where ever you go. I
am still your fan for life. You'r a good and
gentleman
but sorrounded by ingrates and fools that care for
their pockets alone.
Oh Jona! You lost the election but won my heart

Orubebe is that you?

Opiosko:
Muderous and lying Buhari spirit casted from ur life. Amen

Take jega pill go relax, orubebe

Lol

Opiosko:
