Your Altima option is good, but that engine is a bit big. You may want to consider smaller Nissan cars like the Almera, Primers etc.

Good luck. Let a technician check with you.

It's a nice option but the car looks too common and I don't like it

Get a Volkswagen Vento. Minimal cost of maintenance and fuel. When buying small cars for personal use, look at what is used for commercial purposes. Commercial drivers look at durability, cost of maintenance and fuel. So a Volkswagen Vento fits the bill any time. God bless us all!!!

Let me understand you...... With a budget of between 300/400K, you don't want a common car?

With a limited budget, 'i don't like it', must not be said....... wink

Dancok, come and carry this your brother away, pls.......... grin

It's common because its cheap to purchase and to maintain. Just thought i should tell you what will not give you troubles. You may be lucky to get a good for between 250k - 300k. Then you can love-vendor it with the money with you.

My order of pimping rides is as thus

Paper perfect
Engine perfect
Gear perfect
Shafts and suspensions perfect
Interior perfect include audio
Exterior is always the last for me.

Enjoy!

Otherwise you can try mazda 323 hatchback.

Hahaha. But what I was thinking is that due to the effect of this pandemic some people might go broke and might desperately want to sell their cars

What about Honda Accord is it a good car?

Generally, I am a lover of Honda vehicular products.....

Get one with adequate maintenance history, and you're good to go.....

When Honda recommends palm oil, don't use groundnut oil or olive oil......

Part replacement must be oem, not Chinese or Aba made......

Obey the general rules of vehicle maintenance and Honda would pay you back handsomely.......

Don't buy a bruised, battered and abused version and expect miracles..........

Don't always rely on distress sales to buy a car, with your 400k you can still get a golf 3 at 300k which you can love-vendor to taste (alloys, AC, neat interior etc).

It's sometimes better to buy a solid small car than a big car with wahala considering the funds available

You are right.. I just made this point to my bro, who changed his mind from buying envelope to big daddy.
Although I want him to buy big daddy, but I feel he could get a good 2001 model and clean it up.

I understand he feels he'd be under pressure to change the car too soon if he goes for 2001 model

If you have a good mechanic, there is nothing to put you in that position. However, make sure you go with a mechanic whenever you want to purchase to assess and tell you the real worth of the vehicle.

Tell him not to rush, he should take his time.

I've seen quite a number of first timers in this dilemma who after going for the more recent regret their actions, it always often ends in premium tears.

Always go with trusted mechanic
Don't be too greedy.

If you want to buy a more expensive car for a cheaper price, you have to wait till middle/ending of MAY. By then, realities of post covid19-life would've set in especially with the resent job losses/sack here & there. Some people would be so broke & would wanna sell their cars just to survive.
This is the sad truth.
