Car TalkRe: Is Buying A Car Really Worth It?? by jideq: 11:29am On Apr 02, 2022
If your moni don finish you no go talk....which one be say "car na luxury".

300L student? Get a toks corolla with no added frills or pimping.
Budget 20k monthly for fuel costs depending on how far your daily commute is.
Budget 200k/year for the first 2 years for repairs (be sure to do comprehensive insurance as well).
Be disciplined with the car. No excesses, at times leave the car back home for really unnecessary trips.
Register with Uber, Bolt etc. (Half a weekend's work can get you a weeks worth of fuel to use if you know what I mean).
Make sure your papers are always up to date. Don't ever "borrow" friends the car for whatever reason.

It isn't a luxury unless you treat it as such. Being disciplined with using the car will definitely improve your quality of life and the opportunities within your reach in the long run. I can get into my car at 5:30 am in Lagos, be in Ibadan by 8:00 am and back in Lagos by 12:30 pm having achieved my aim in relative comfort without my neighbors having inkling as to what has transpired.
