Why budget matters when buying Chinese cars
Prices change quickly because of exchange rates, duty, shipping, registration, dealer stock and trim. Use budget bands as a guide, then request current pricing before paying.

New vs used Chinese cars
New cars offer warranty and cleaner history. Used cars can save money but need deeper checks for accident history, software, battery health, mileage and parts support.
Which budget is best?
The best budget is the one that leaves room for insurance, registration, service, tyres and possible parts. Do not spend every naira on purchase price alone.
