I used my hard earned money to buy car when I was 17-18.it was a Toyota corolla 4 door. I bought it 850k that year. New beautiful car when I rdive it home and paid 55 k for licence and paper brouhaha.

I was using a Nissan Patrol and 505 at which my dad bought for me to pick me and drop in in secondary school and had two drivers

He thought I stole his money. No I did not.. I street smart from age 8.been robbing my mum of gold jewelry in England

Lol...

My first car was a 1999 Toyota Camry. I rocked that car until it started giving me problems. One day I was driving on the highway and the bonnet swung open obscuring my view for like 10 seconds and next thing I know, the whole bonnet flew away and nearly hit a car behind me. I could've died that day, but I wasnt about to give up on my first car. Too many memories in that car. I once made love in that car. I drove from lagos to Jos with that car. When my ex broke up with me, my little old Camry was still by my side. So it was my turn to have my car's back; I walked about half a mile to where my bonnet laid, picked it up and mounted it back without the hinges. I drove my car slowly to a mechanic to fix it back on. After exceeding 230,000 miles on the odometer, my camry gave up the ghost. It literally started smoking and caught fire. I gave it a befitting burial and moved on to the luxurious Nissan Murano.
you moved on to Nissan Murano from Toyota camry? That's early grave bro. That jeep is a death trap to those that know.

Mine was an Opel Vectra About 20years ago and in my early days in Uni.I bought it for N150k ,a Naija use and an auto.The problems started almost immediately because I was used to driving manual shifts.I was using park mode as a stop.It of course crashed the transmission.The moment,Ojuelegba mechanics started feasting on me,I heard no option than to convert the transmission to manual.That was my greatest misdeed.Different issues every now and then but it gave me a best gift which was my wife.I guess the beauty of the car was one of her attraction .I have migrated with about 10 different models but I kept her favorite car color of black as my private car color.

I was warned, but my Murano has stood the test of time without any issues. It may be luck, I can't say but I will vouch for this car any time any day.

Never bought one though had so many chances.. Priced more than 3 when I had the money but changed my mind. My first priced Wheelbarrow was around 1.2 million KOBO

Why buying one when you don't stay in one place
Why buying one when you have access to enough cars( friends and Family)

I'm suffering the same fate with my 2001 Ford Mondeo, the car is a nagging headache.
For the past 3 months , i brood everyday questioning myself why i didn't read more about cars before buying this 1M Tokunbo pocket wrecking car.

Ford cars are cheap but problem prone

I do not know....enlighten me pls

car has a door for driver, and anoda for passenger to enter from,and u are describing it as just a door?

When you hear one-door for cars, it means the two front doors. Two-door means four doors, that in car description parlance. Eg, coupeys are one-door cars.

Toyota Corolla hatchback for N150k. It did not last six months and I replaced it with a Mercedes Benz C220 1996 edition which I used for 5 years. Sold it to build my house and currently making plans to buy another Benz.
