How much is Nissan Micra car in Nigeria

Averaging a price of just ₦ 1,100,000, Nissan Micra may well be Nigeria’s cheapest car. The company Nissan says it’s giving consumers exactly what they’re looking for at this price: value.

For first time car buyers the Micra is a great deal, especially if you are looking for a budget car.

Before you buy, there are a few extra costs to car ownership you need to consider:

Extra Cost: Auto Insurance for the Nissan Micra

There is no getting around it: Your new car must be insured. It’s easy to forget just how pricey auto insurance can be, especially for younger people.

Building this into your yearly budget is important: it is illegal to drive a car in Nigeria without auto insurance. Before you buy any car, make sure you get auto insurance quotes so you know what to budget.

Extra Cost: Gas

If you have been relying on public transport or your own legs until now, the cost of gas can come as a nasty surprise. Small cars, like the Nissan Micra, are good on fuel when compared to larger cars, SUVs and trucks.

The Micra’s fuel tank holds about 41 litres – so you’re looking at $50+ every time you need to fill up.

Extra Costs: Maintenance And Depreciation

Of all the extra costs of car ownership, this one is the sneakiest. Every year you own a vehicle, its value depreciates while the maintenance costs add up. Necessary vehicle repairs are difficult to predict but when they hit, they hit hard.

Buying a new vehicle, even one as affordable as the Nissan Micra, is a big undertaking.

The car will cost nearly ₦ 5,000,000 a year, over a 5-year period. This looks at gas, maintenance/depreciation, auto insurance and registration.
