I've learnt my lessons from a used 2007model ford focus executive I bought. That car made me compulsorily became friend with mechanics. I've learnt my lessons ever since. If its not brand new, my broda count me out
our mechanics are not familiar with Ford cars. Its more advisable to go for for more convetional brands like Toyotas Hondes etc which are more common place here.

I am yet to find any good reason to buy a brand new car.

IF you buy a lemon, that's a whole different story...you got scammed.

Give me a used car that went more than 20-points inspection any day.

Buy that new car, drive it one kilometer away and it becomes a used car.

Used car? New car? In Nigeria, you are one bad filling station away from being an acquaintance to a mechanic.

Some news cars do come with problem(s) that the dealers themselves cannot rectify.

Getting a used car is not the problem, that's what anybody can easily do but where d problem lies is, will the used car u're about to get be worth ur time n money?
people might decide to sell off a car cos it's defective and u wld neva knw because dey wld packaged the car so well like Santa Claus personally choose it 4 u that its defect will stat to emerge after a short time of purchase.

Check this out to know more on how to get a used car that ll not leave u wit regrets after:

Maybe why you need not rush to the mentality that I bought it the year it came out,when in the real sense its a waste of money,some royalties only buy brand new cars just to go out for a day and alas don't use it after that till the next year and they top up for the newer brand and the tested car becomes used,if u drive a brand new car away from the car mart t has automatically turned to used.
If ur company buys it for u and you have no choice per say,to demand the one of ur real choice,well that's understandable as ur coy carries all the risk,but if I'm buyng with my money .I would buy the star.and hardly will any coy buy u a star as staff car.u must be a director.

bros, there r benefits of a new car too, bt d write up is not all trash. For ur picanto example, god forbid. D steering might pull off while driving. Wait, hv u driven that car? There's a difference btw driving n moving. Even if d emphasis is on d later, bros, i am not buying it for my daughter.

Nothing is as good as buying Brand new things. Fairly used mentality is an offshot of poverty mindedness. Am not saying it is bad buying fairly used items if that is what you can afford for now. However it should not be in your consciousness to prefer fairly used items to brand new ones.
The best of things are made because of me.
