Why are alot of persons bent on Toyota being the only good product for Uber/bolt? I feel there are also other cars that could be used in the place of a Toyota product. Maintenance is what matters. Some persons have a bad tradition when it comes to the maintenance of a car, hence as soon as the problem arise from the car they are using, they condemn the products. Not everyone can afford Toyota now cos of it's high price. I believe you can start from somewhere and upgrade as time goes on. That's what I feel.

Ford is a good car. Take a car expert along to check every part for you before dropping any money. The most important thing is for you to maintain it. And truth is except you have a good local mech ehn you'll spend a lot on different things. I'll recommend Flickwheel sha you can get very good and trusted mechanics there and even if your car has issues and you are cash strapped, they'll help out with a loan for you.
Do you have any idea if this flickwheel is available at Benin City?

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

please what are the things to consider in buying the Ford focus?

Well, what I did was to ask Google and I saw various threads on the matter. Facebook is also a good resource. Find Uber/bolt/taxify pages and join.. you'd read up on first hand info from drivers too.

Op, i am into the business, EOD is good but not advisable due to its fuel consumption. It's 2.4ltr engine. You need a car with 2.0ltr below. Nissan Sentra 03-06, Kia Cerato 06-09, Honda Civic 03-08,
Of you need any assistance. DM me or call me: 08033483129

Hello sir. Can I DM? I have some questions as regards the e hailing business.

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
Words on marble!!
Good day sir, please I'll like to learn from you, as I'm in an almost similar situation. I sent you a PM, kindly respond pls.
