It is fun.

Ha 2.5 million for a car that has been used under intense conditions in Nigeria. That’s a bottomless pit of repairs.

If you ever manage to succeed and eventually pay off the car, then two things are involved it’s either you’re trying to sell it off to settle debt or you’re accumulating more debt to fix the car.

It’s a terrible idea to go above 1.8M for a Nigerian used car on HP. Shey na naija people wey no get maintenance culture you wan collect HP of 2.5? I bind and cast village people!

dru23:



Madame Radauto, it is waste of time explaining customers service to these drivers. Most of them can't work in a customer service industry in the USA...

On these matter me and you can relate .. Due to the fact not only on education level, not saying uber drivers are not educated. but been exposed internationally .. Since some unfortunately has never travel out of the shore of Nigeria .. It will be very hard for them to relate to you....

dru23:


From my own experince yes .. The civic is very low maintenance compare to corolla and elantra . The suspension of civic last longer than elantra or corolla. You really have to abuse the civic to damage the suspension..

This issue of rider-driver relationship.

Most times before a rider will behave rudely to u..they would have accesed your dressing, countenance and the way u speak. If u dress well, speak well and have a good carriage. 98% of riders will respect u.

Driving to Accra, suicide or doable? Thinking of road trip with the family.

izzou:


We know

But don't write off a car because it's Nigerian used. Knowing the condition makes more sense

Let's just agree you're right bro. I'm tired of this argument

Prince3:

Finally, you agree someone maybe right in this argument.. smh.
The Bros that posted this topic of argument requesting for help, will now just sit and relax in his couch at home sipping his zero Coke and watching us arguing about his post. Haha

They way you carry yourself matters regardless if you doing uber or not . They way you look outside is a representation of how you feel inside..

dru23:


Jokes aside.... Running a fleet of cars for uber can be capital intensive.. Maintenance can take a chunk from the profit.. And type of cars do matter . My civic seems to be the best for the job .. And the Elantra is holding up well too. A lot of partners usually don't know what they are getting themselves into ... in their mind na just to give car and wait for weekly alert... It can be a tough business and sweet at the same time.. You just have to take the good with the bad

Felicity001:

Wow!!! So na so civic be??! My bros ilhave been saying it but I seriously doubted him he even said it’s fuel economy is far better than that of corolla. Though I’ve know Honda to be very strong and roughed but I never thought it’s maintenance and usefulness is better of than corolla.

Little wonder it’s more expensive than the corolla

Dash board earning Is different from d real cash. After all expenses and commissions am left with 60k, not enough for d effort. Paid Taxify 11k in card trips, 9k in cash outstanding. 30k for fueling and other miscellaneous expenses. What matters most is d cash u keep for yourself at end of week.

ajoks533:


Not so good a thing to say bro... I respect your exposure and level of education. However, it's unfair to use that in the manner you did.

You just politely insulted some fellas in here, just like me saying if not that I am not used to insulting my friends, I would have said that this your post is a stupid post.

Let's try to respect each other, despite the fact we know each other's level and capacity. We are all here to share experiences and learn from each other.

radautoworks:

Thanks for the quick reply.
Is this the normal route or Google is sending me enter yawa...

Rubbiish:

Civic is more expensive than corolla?

Felicity001:

Do findings and comparison yourself. Google is always your friend same way police is

Felicity001:

I’ll share my experience as my take on this issue.

I was introduced to this ehailing just few months ago by a secondary sch class mate. He knows I’ve a car and I knew my car (V6) won’t be suitable for the job which I told him. So he helped me out by making a contact for a car. The owner of the car lives in Ajah. We drive down on this my friend’s car to see the guy. Getting there it’s a Camry “big daddy” same with what my guy uses for Uber. This my guy was d first person this owner contacted when the car first landed Nigeria direct tok.

I looked at the car before the owner came out from his compound. Nice guy, easy going, young and lovely dude. He handed over the keys myself with my guy test drive the car out of his estate but we didn’t go far. Returned and we started discussions, the dude wants only HP has he was already discouraged by the attitudes of about two drivers that haves the car, they worked and didn’t balance for some weeks then returned the car to him in bad shape which cost him about a 100k to fix it.

At that time, all the 4tiers are worn out and will need replacement or should be replaced within a month. The engine has a check sign, the windscreen looked like something that has been replaced, the car has no remote for automatic or distance opening of the doors unless with the keys, then d car stereo has been removed an replace with those once danfo usually has. And dude needs 2.3m for HP with upfront payment of 100k.

I went back home, give everything a deep meticulous thought and evaluation I then arrived at a value of 1.8m to 2m at most. Because car has been used for like 6months already.
Weather na tear rubber as long has you done commot d rubber that item don turn used one

I called dude explained everything to him, though I also understand his own position because nobody plans to venture into a lose business come what may. But dude insist at 2.250k.

nna menh na so I take close negotiation ooo I can not come and kill myself.

About a month later I asked dude how far since we have good rapport dude said the car has been given out to sb at 2.3m on HP I wished him good luck.

So to me, anything wey don turn 9ja use can not be of the same value with a tok or new one it’s economic valuation base on savages and time factors. No need a scientist to explain that to you

But there is a myth or maybe true, Nigerians hate any car calls Honda cause it always have a broken leg. When my dad bought Honda pilot, people complained that he should have gone for a Toyota that Honda always disappoints one on highway with broken legs. Till date people still run away from Honda cause of this...

dru23:


What was the bad thing I said ? Did I say uber drivers are not uneducated? Please read over and try to understand... The level of exposure I talk about is from experince from working in customer care industry.. That is the exposure am talking about.. The insults I get at times will make u want to slap some people ..
So when drivers complain about Nigerian riders rude behaviour. My point is that I have dealt with worse behavior and some were physical too .. That is part of exposure that I was talking about. And in the past experince I could have press police charges. And some industry requires higher care of customers service and others don't.. But at the end of the day jobs in the USA will require some type of customer care service..

And another example the people that work at McDonald's, Dominion Pizza ,KFC etc. Do you know what does people face at the hands of some customers.. It was in the news ago that a customer order some food at a drive through restaurant.. The customer came back and shot the employee ,because they forgot to give hot sauce or something like that .. She was arrested and taken to jail ..

Then it means u have been using the wrong google. Same year model of civic is not as expensive as corolla. People use Honda civic because it will be more easier & faster to recoup their investment compare to high cost of corolla, that is why u see people like dru using civic, not because it is stronger or more fuel economical. I know a lot of persons that have Honda products but can't use it for ehailing. Hondas break down easily when expose to commercial use.

Rubbiish:

Everyday u keep exhibiting your f00lishness
Can anyone make anything meaningful out of this statement? @bold is killings limited to customers & employee? Haven't u heard about wives killing their husband & vice versa? What about those that walk into schools & public places in the US shooting sporadically? We are talking about mutual respect between two normal persons, u are talking about respect between a normal person and a mentally unstable person because you are mentally unstable. U really need to check your mental health.
