Buying my First car on Hire purchase

I think repossession is a big disadvantage if you're unable to pay the premiums. However, if you are not in urgent need of the car, perhaps save enough to import yourself?
That way, you'll not only get a better deal in terms of price but also verify the unit you get before it departs from the source market.

All the best though
 
First things first, is it personal or commercial?
If commercial, follow advises given supra
If personal ask yourself a few hard questions
1. Is it necessary at this time?
2. Will it add value, eg, save you fare, time, and other inconveniences
3. If going for HP, are you taking a full loan, or do you have some savings which you will top up with the loan
4.What institution do you intend to get financing from, or if taking from a dealer, what are the terms, and do you have any previous working relationship at all.
Otherwise, on a very personal and probably narrow-minded reasoning, gari personal sinunui na loan.

The disadvantage could be the interest rate and exploitative terms. Hire purchase is generally more expensive than getting a loan. Look for hidden charges and legalese terms that might trip you down the line.
