I told them that I needed to know the cheapest best affordable car to buy considering factors such as the durability,fuel consumption rate,availability of spare parts,and most importantly the car that our local mechanics can be able to fix because we all know that some of our mechanics cannot fix some cars when they break down.


Out of over 12 brands and models of cars they mentioned,I was able to select 10 vehicles that were mentioned frequently. In general Japanese car brands were mentioned frequently more than European car brands.
