Abeg I never try to correct somebody oyingbo grammar o!

seriously, not the spelling but the positioning. If you re-position the two words, it turns the question to a sentence and of course, answers the question as well.

Go for it! I use my BMW e46 on Uber. At first my friends advised against it since it's not the regular corolla but I can tell you every trip is an experience.

Why?

The vehicle price is 640k

Average MPG IS 22-24



I presume it's going to be self driven and is in good enough condition with AC to be accepted for Uber.

So why is it suicide/murder mission?

Is there something especially wrong with that car model?

I'll avoid those and go for the 98-03 instead. Those years at bolded will mess him up if used on uber/taxify, they're not as rugged as the earlier versions.

Bro, if the engine is OK, the body is fine and the inside is neat for passengers, u know uber people na,they like neat and clean stuff, u can go for it.
My husband has been using S40 2000 model for 4years before he handed over to me,
U most do servicing often. Don't wait for the car to break down before you service it.
Now my husband uses C90

I'm serious, this comment has nothing to do with the whatsapp mess up, the car in question even fell within the year model which i just recommended (98-03), so there's no way it can be misconstrued as a continuation of that case

Abort mission! Abort! It's a suicide mission!
I once inherited one s40 from my dad. It was a moving coffin, I had to dump it after 3 months when it suddenly broke down just when I was about to overtake a trailer and there were other vehicles behind me hoping I'll overtake on time before the curve. I last last packed inside a gutter.

Dont you think this is a plus for the ride? You drove it into a gutter on the highway, yet you're alive here to tell the story.

The said car wasnt even toks, but one in which your dad has used to oblivion and abandoned for you. See as u just take style hype the S40 thinking you're trolling

Its a rugged car and reliable too, mpg is no bad too. Once you're sure uber/taxify will accept it and riders won't mind too, then you're good to go.

Only reservations i might have is the current state of the car (being naija used), pls perform proper physical inspection before buying, get a pro if u don't know what to look out for

Many moons ago eye never open, Kazeems were in charge, vehicle scanners were a myth and Volvo know-how was almost non-existent.

Debatable if there were parts sef.

It was the same with other vehicle models like BMW and
new generation Peugeot
