Car hailing cannot be cheaper, depends on where you work and what you intend to do.

ikorodu to Marina is 700, Marina to CMS is 100, CMS to Lekki is 200 Lekki to office in okada 100 just for 1 trip, how is it cheaper?

I understand what you are trying to say I don't drive my car to work currently because from my house to work is 150naira and same amount back, if I intend to do exercise, it's 50naira for 1 trip, so if I was using car for that trip it would be a waste. He must have factored in his transport expenses before thinking of buying a car.

There are people earning wayless monthly and they maintain a car perfectly, op should just cut his coat according to his size

From the figures you gave. That's like N40,000 per month on transportation. So, N500,000 in a year. In ten years, that's like N5M. (All things being equal).

Are you saying the cost of a car and usage in 10 years will be less than N5M?

My guy, Corolla is good and better but the issue with corolla is that is more expensive from oversea now but most of Naija dealer are selling accidental vehicle and high mileage corolla with a rolled back to 100+ mileage which u will purchase around 1.8M - 2.2M, its only few that are selling non accidental but my advise for you is that to autocheck with d vehicle b4 u purchase. I just got 2006 corolla sport with 87,000 mileage, accident free, presently is at d port in USA, total amount with shipping is around 1,642,500 million naira, wen the car reach naija, i will do duty here with either 400-450k here. its cos its for my personal use and No dealer will purchase that kind of car, if they call it 2.5M nobody will pay. God will help u to get a good car. I rest my case.

If you're talking about business then it is different.

I am only advising the OP not to buy a car at his current income level for private use.

I don't like any of them and I pick vehicle for a reason, so until you know the reasons why you need a car, then can you decide what to pick.

Ugmama:


Please enlighten me, no one knows it all.

nurey:


Okay this is how to pick a car. I have 3 cars I like and I don't know which one to pick

Car A is a city car with 1.1L I4 with fuel economy of 4L/100km

Car B is an executive sedan with 3.0L V6 with fuel economy of 10L/100km

Car C is a SUV with 3.5L V6 with fuel economy of 15L/100km

I am an architect and I work in another state that is 150km away and I have to haul my design board and some tools. There is a very bad 20km stretch on the road, I also have to drop my wife 50kms along the journey. I have 3 adolescent children and I don't pick passengers up during my journey because it's a jungle out there.

Basically car A would be more economical in fuel usage, it would be cramped in cargo space, rear seating would be just ok for the children and it won't do well at all in the 20km bad road. It's also too light for that to handle the journey.

Car B is fair in the fuel economy section, it would handle the cargo ok, rear seating would be comfortable for the triplets, it would do better than car A in 20km stretch and would handle the journey well.

Car C is a thirsty beast in the economy department, it would swallow all the cargo and have room for more, rear seating for the children is voluminous and they can even play hide and seek at the back, it would navigate the 20 stretch comfortable.

so after seeing what each can do I note my priority
1. cargo
2. rear seating
3. Ability to navigate 20km bad road
4. fuel economy

So in order of passing my preference car B has the best average points out of the 3 followed by car C last is A.

if I was to choose between a Corolla and Camry big daddy 4 cylinder I would look at
1. condition of both cars I have at my disposal
2. price both are going for, is it worth it to buy one over the other with 100k price difference.
3. condition of the house and my immediate environment, gated fence I will take Corolla, open parking in okokomaiko I will never by Corolla due to Vandals
4. Traffic condition live on mainland work at island Corolla is better for fuel, live on island work on mainland Camry even if it's V6 is better.
etc etc

I don't know who told you this but putting the custom papers of a 2006 Toyota Corolla at 400-450k is a hope that will never materialize.

My brother, budget 500-600k ooo


By the time danfo scratch the motor, you will ask if it is worth buying a clear title car

Ugmama:

MrFinbarr:
