A senior lawyer with one of the multinational telecommunication companies traveled to the USA to buy an E-Class Mercedes. Unfortunately, he couldn’t really afford the 2015 version he wanted. He had been driving Mercs for almost a decade after his uncle sold one to him at a bargain price. His friend with whom he stayed in the USA kept pushing him to buy an Audi A6. He succumbed and has now totally fallen totally in love with Audi.
Most people tend to limit themselves to cars that people in their circle have bought, recommended or spoken about when looking to buy a new car. But there is a big new world of automobile pleasures and surprises waiting to be discovered. You may have seen some of them on the road and wondered if they would fit into your budget – now you can clear the doubt. Our price estimates are based on a survey of popular auto dealers in Lagos and analysis of car prices in the USA, including shipping costs to Lagos and tariffs. But we have quoted only Cars45 prices for Nigeria because dealers on the platform disclose any existing faults and major previous repairs – many Nigerian dealers sell cars salvaged from accidents and floods which appear cheaper because the costs of fixing the issues connected to the damage are not factored into the price. If you are looking to buy a new car in the new year and your budget is around ₦10million, here are a few cars you should look at:
