Yes you can get a V4 Honda Accord 2006 Nigerian used for that price for 800,000 naira So far it’s V4, it’s good for Uber as it doesn’t consume fuel like the V6 model If you find an Honda Civic too, 2004 model upward it will do the job As funny as it sounds a Honda Civic consumes less fuel than corrola or Camry or any totyota product, I have used both Now back to the naysayers who will try and discourage you about your budget, it’s what you have that you will use to get what you need Someone who probably doesn’t have a car yet is already talking about visiting a mechanic everyday now let me explain to you how these things work A cars engine made up of piston, crank shaft etc works on wear and tear to be specific , imagine iron rods rubbing themselves inside engine oil to fire out combustion almsost everyday and as long as the engine is ignited and running This is why the longer the millage of a car the weaker the engine is and vice versa A brand new car not tokunbo car ooo ( a brand new car from the factory does not make any noise engine wise, reason because it’s engine is still completely new ) The reason why I am explaining this to you is to try and make you link how many kilometers a car has run to how weak or less effective or still sound the engine is Even generator engines work on the same principle, I have been using the same generator for 3 years, but every 4 months or so we buy an HALF ENGINE and the generator is turned on everyday day Wear and tear over a long time is what weakens engines of cars or anything made of up a mechanics systems So going back to your budget of 800k for Eod Homda acconrd 2006 , you will get one for that price and surprise surprise all you have to do is to use your mechanic to gauge well how many months or years the engine still has left Once the engine is still very sound, you are good to use it every day to transport people Pls don’t listen to people trying to discourage you Pls go to any motor park and check out the buses that transport people from lagos to Ibadan every day . One 1998 sienna took me from osun state to Abuja one time I couldn’t believe that type of van could be on the road for 14 hours to Abuja without spoiling on the road Go to nurtw parks and see buses and vans being used for inter State transport and you will be shocked as to thier external state meanwhile it’s thier engine that still makes them going strong Also a car engine never dies, only the OGs and the legends in the game know what to do when your car engine is giving you problems So OP go and buy your car and start making money from it today and succeed like those before you Good day 116 Likes 17 Shares |

brightalo1010: Yes there are especially Honda Accord 2006 models nicknamed EOD. Totyota Camry 1998-2002 nicknamed drop light or pencil also fall within the same range Finally buying any Nigerian used car is the same as buying any Nigerian used car regardless of the price . Maybe it’s you that is not ready to buy a Nigerian used car 6 Likes 1 Share |

Don’t buy any car higher than a 1.8L engine capacity. The lower the engine the better for you sef. The bigger the engine the higher the fuel consumption. And your highest running cost is fuel. NEVER BUY A V6 ENGINE (3.0L & above engine) FOR UBER/BOLT! Accord is a 2.0 /2.4L /3.0L engine so don’t go there! Don’t forget, you need the AC running in top shape ( AC increases fuel consumption) and your price for parts must be low. Factors to consider for the car: 1. Price of initial purchase 2. Condition of engine, gear, body rust, AC & tyres / suspension 3. Size of engine 4 Cheap & available replacement parts. 5. Never buy a car without scanning the engine and GEAR 1st. Invest in a good scanner that can scan both. It cost fron 60k & above. These cars a great for Uber/Bolt. 1. Kia Rio or Hyundai Accent. They are the same car. 1.4L & 1.6L PRO- they have the best fuel economy I know of. AC & suspension is also very good. Very good to buy as naija used but expensive as tokubo, CON- One of the most expensive replacement parts. 2. Toyota Corolla- 1.6L, 1.8L PRO- available parts. Good fuel economy. Very good AC, good suspension & strong engine. Every mechanic can fix it. Very good leg room for riders. CON- very OVERPRICED (extremely expensive to buys as tokunbo or naija used). Parts are available, but very expensive. 3. Toyota Yaris 1.5L PRO- Excellent fuel economy. Very good AC, suspension & strong engine. Every mechanic can fix it CON- very OVERPRICED (extremely expensive to buys as tokunbo or naija used). Parts are NOT available & very expensive. Honda City- 1.5L PRO- Excellent fuel economy. Very good AC, Excellent suspension (the ONLY HONDA with good suspension) & strong engine. Parts are very cheap at Oyingbo in Lagos, but expensive everywhere else. CON- very OVERPRICED (extremely expensive to buys as tokunbo but cheap as naija used). Better to use a HONDA specialist as mechanic. Honda Civic 1.8L , 2.0L Avoid the 2.0L PRO- Excellent fuel economy. Very good AC, strong engine. Parts are very cheap at Oyingbo in Lagos, but expensive everywhere else. Very good leg room for riders. CON- Bad suspension. Better to use a HONDA specialist as mechanic. The 1.8L engine is rare in automatic gear but available as manual. Kia Picanto 1.1L PRO- The BEST fuel economy I know of. AC & suspension is also very good. Very good to buy as naija used but expensive as tokubo, CON- One of the most expensive replacement parts. No space for luggage. Riders don’t like the compact seating. Veetee: 19 Likes 2 Shares |

6years on the road as an Uber pilot.... The best car u can get with ur budget is Honda civic 2004/2005, not EOD or DC oh.... Another good car ur budget can get is Ford focus, just be sure to do thorough inspection before payment.... But if I'm the one buying personally, I'll buy a manual Peugeot 307, super great car with madt fuel efficiency, but u need high level of experience like mine to handle and enjoy a 307..... Abuja drivers know me as god of 307, my name is GentlePhil 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Veetee: For a car that will be used for business, getting a car within your budget may not give you peace of mind. Why not use the money as a deposit for a car loan and get a foreign used Toyota that will serve you better. 4 Likes |
