wonlasewonimi:Is there anything wrong with mileage being more than 100k? Shebi in naija we use to drive cars with 200k mileage and they would be solid? |
| Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by DaveChapelle: 9:13pm On Apr 04, 2019 |
Aphrodite007:in Nigeria, if your car breaks down, you have a roadside mechanic and you can sort it out with maybe 5k or 10k....or less. Here, if your brake pad fails, you can spend as much as £250.which is not cost effective if your car is only worth £600! Or the insurance for 1 year worth twice the value of the car. So it becomes a money pit |
| Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Aphrodite007(f): 9:20pm On Apr 04, 2019 |
DaveChapelle:I understand now. So if a car has a lot of mileage, it would also have an expensive insurance premium. Nawa! All the cheap cars (under 2k5) cars that I want to buy and use to build my insurance in this country are so ugly eh! E be like say na bicycle I go buy last last |
| Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by DaveChapelle: 9:21pm On Apr 04, 2019 |
Aphrodite007:look for a suitable 1.6 litre engine |
| Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by DaveChapelle: 9:28pm On Apr 04, 2019 |
Aphrodite007:my old lexus, insurance was like 1,8k+, changed brake calipers 1 side....250, 4 tires....200, A/C not working....didnt bother, disposed before summer. In retrospect, i would have been better off with a VW Golf, would have saved me some money |

Aphrodite007:When you eventually buy the bicycle, buy a lumos helmet to swag it all up...... |
| Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Lexusgs430: 10:07pm On Apr 04, 2019 |
Aphrodite007:Depends on the vehicle, 100K is not necessarily too high in my opinion.......... Depends on how old the car is, if the vehicle is just under 10 years old or hit 10, expect it to have done 100K miles (averagely 10K a year)........ Would you buy a 3 year old Mercedes E class or an Audi A6 with 100K, at a bargain price? If you see a 10 year old car with 40K miles, it would be way more expensive, than a higher mileage equivalent..... The mileage might be true to form or clocked........ Service history, MOT history check + physical inspection, should ensure you avoid buying a lemon...... |

Lexusgs430:as we move into modern climes and people find themselves buying more modern fairly used cars. The excitement blinds you to the sometimes glaring flaws |
| Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Lexusgs430: 10:49pm On Apr 04, 2019 |
DaveChapelle:Which is why, rather than walk in blinded with excitement...... Ask questions...... If unsure.... Ask again...... ![]() |

Hi As I don’t seek luxury, I would like to know which option is better in terms of getting a car; - via finance (paying tad bits per month with an agreed APR for 60months) - buy upfront a self test driven one advertised online(on a budget) Moreover, I have never used Azimo nor world remit before, if anyone has please let me know as I am skeptical about it. Is it reliable for transactions and how soon does it reflect in the account? Cheers |
| Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Lexusgs430: 1:27pm On Apr 05, 2019 |
derbylicious:Compare rates between Azimo & WR...... They are equally good.... Funds hits account within 30 minutes - 2 hours.... |
| Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Lexusgs430: 1:28pm On Apr 05, 2019 |
derbylicious:What is your budget for car purchase? How much do you have to drop on a cash purchase? All car purchase options are good, it's totally dependent on the buyer + budget considerations + cost implications...... Buying new or used?... ![]() |

derbylicious:My first car was a cheap peugeot runaround I bought for £995 from my local dealer, it served me very well for over 4 years. I only changed it last year for a 2015 model with low mileage. Personally, I would advice that you should never use finance/loans to buy a car. Buy a good car you can afford. If you feel you are loaded and have money to throw around every month, use the money to pay off your mortgage. If you have paid off your mortgage, invest the excess money in properties for rent, trade in shares/stocks etc. I see a lot of people borrowing to buy cars when they are still living in a home they do not own. |

claremont:We only live once........... |
| Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by DaveChapelle: 3:26pm On Apr 05, 2019 |
derbylicious:Azimo is very good and fast. Hits my account within 5min and rates better than etransfar. I can give you a referral code and you get £10 off if you're interested |
| Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by DaveChapelle: 3:27pm On Apr 05, 2019 |
claremont:Sometimes, the thrill is in the experience of going through something which may not be financially wise, but to the person makes perfect sense. |
| Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Lexusgs430: 4:02pm On Apr 05, 2019 |
DaveChapelle:Worldremit too is equally fast.... I usually piggyback between them, comparing rates......... |

smallworldfs is even better ![]() Lexusgs430: |

Yep ... that's the one. I've been using since 2013 self I have Azimo and Worldremit accounts but by the time I compare rates and transfer fees, I end up using smallworldfs. Lexusgs430: |
| Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Lexusgs430: 9:18pm On Apr 05, 2019 |
Bourne007:Already registered.... Would try them next time i get £50.00 wey no get use, to push to my Alat account......... ![]() |

Bourne007:You probably haven't tried rhemito.com then. Best rate I have seen anywhere just that they just recently introduced a flat fee of £2. |
