How to find a good car to buy in Nigeria

You’re ready to buy a second-hand car or you’re wondering how to get a good car, the few questions you need to answer correctly that’ll help you find a good car to buy include:

1. What do you really want in a car? This is an important question you should ask yourself before you venture into buying any car because the answer is as good as the car itself. Do you want a car that consumes less fuel, has affordable spare parts, easy to maintain and still has ample space? Then you should go for Toyota space wagons or Nissan Primera. These cars cost less and are easier to maintain. Do you want a car that can withstand Nigeria pot holes, cost less, consumes less fuel but the spare parts may be costly, then you can try Honda product?

2. Why do you want to buy the car? Do you need it to be a family car for social occasions and ‘school runs’, going church or you want a simple car for your work or perhaps you want a car for taxi transport business in Nigeria. You have to decide why you want to buy the car. Know what you want to use the car for and consider the city or locality where the car will be used. Toyota Camry can be used for special taxi services in a city like Enugu, Port-Harcourt, Uyo and many others while Opel Vectra can be used for taxi services in a city like Jos, FCT, Kano, Yola, and many more

3. How much do you wish to spend in buying the car? I mean what is your budget for the car like? You don’t have to buy a car that you can’t afford to maintain either would you want to buy a cheap car whose spare parts are expensive in Nigeria. Again, you don’t have to consider price as a yardstick over the actual value of the car. Don’t buy a car because it’s cheap. The car may have some hidden faults which you may not easily find out and will cost you dearly in fixing it up later. So, go for grade 1 cars and know the average market price before fixing your budget. N700, 000-N950, 000 can buy you a quality second-hand car in Abuja, Lagos, Kano and Cotonou.
