I was also bemused at the guy's ignorant comparison and wanted to point out the emboldened to him earlier, but i didnt want it to look like i was holding brief for you and Gazz.uzz. You know how easy it is for Nairalanders to immediately associate one with ass-licking.

I once worked with the service business of a structured power-generating organization, and i noticed that, despite the proliferation of "kazeems" out there and the premium we charge, people still prefer to bring their generators to us for troubleshooting, repairs and even common routine maintenance service.

The reasons were not far-fetched:
- Expertise
- Genuine parts
- Warranty both on the parts and on the labour expended in carrying out a repair

You will almost never ever get these qualities from any Kazeem out there. If people prioritize these qualities for their gensets, how much more a car that is a high risk device.

We also use a mix of SRT (Standard Repair Time) and Billing Efficiency, a major KPI, to monitor our service business. This means that you will be charged for the standard number of hours it takes to carry out a repair and it is not your business if the assigned technician uses more than the allotted time to carry out the repair.

As long as i know the value of the services of corporate organizations like rad.autoworks and Gazz.uzz, and i can afford it, i definitely will use them

Don't I ever!

YES! that's exactly what we do. Thank you for this post smiley

I don't support indriver ideology, so i finally took a ride on indriver yesterday while i was at home at around 3:30pm.

Of all the request I've been getting on indriver, its either i offer higher price that would be rejected or i skip the request, so this one came in yesterday and it caught my mind, it was a trip of 4800 offer from Mushin ojuwoye market to ogbeni street sangotedo.

All my mind was, the trip wouldn't take me more than 2hrs and i wouldn't use more than 1k fuel to cover it, my fuel tank was already showing reserved light so i branched filling station in mushin to refuel 2k worth of fuel.

We began the journey, i quickly opened up my map to see traffic ahead, that's when i get the shock on my life when i saw 2hrs 50min to destination, i knew at that moment i had messed up to accept that amount for that journey.

We got to empire under bridge and i saw a very long and stagnant traffic in front of me, at that moment, my mind was contemplating on dropping the woman or renegotiating the offer but something told me you already agreed on that price so don't complicate the deal.


To cut the story short, we spent over 4hrs to reach sangotedo and i used all my 2k worth of fuel on that one trip, the woman gave me 5500 including the toll gate fee i paid then i began to compare what i make on bolt with 2k worth of fuel to that of indriver.

Honestly, indriver isn't favourable when there's traffic.
You still made more than you would have made if the trip was done on bolt.
That 5500 you made is equivalent to 6800 on bolt (before commission). Without saka that trip can never be up to that on bolt so you got a good deal

I found out the car i was given on HP for the sum of 1.9m was bought in 2013. He even bought the car as anaija used. Can you see how wicked some Nigerians are? Although, i have paid over 1.6m now,
changed the engine and gear box of this car yet the car keep giving issues every now and then. I have spent close to 600k in maintaining it but these days, OWNER does not want to hear me complain to him in regards to the issue the vehicle gives him so far his delivery is complete. He even had the guts to tell me to sell of the car and balance him up. Though, he has been a helpful and understanding partner but i don't know what came over him these days.

What should i do please?

If he wants you to sell it. Hope he/she is not expecting you to still pay 300k balance at once? U can negotiate that what he will get is 150k balance since it's a one off payment .

What's is the re-sell value?

After selling can u still get like 800k to call you own. to get another car.. that u can fully inspect since you have experience now.?

Answer to this question will atleast make you not lose out completely.

Hmm... Wicked partners arising everyday. My brother stop being ignorant and fooled around. Press charges against him/her.

This is a case of good turned bad. That your partner was never a good person before so stop thinking he was. Come to think of it self[b] you don't have right to sell off the car oh, its a trap[/b] so don't make the mistake of putting the car on sale else he will murder you in court because the clause states property belongs to him/her till you finish payment.

The only place you've a case is this. If You're sure the contract started that the car was a direct tok but you later discover it was instead bought a 9ja used and you have proof to back this up then you can sue him/her on the ground of deceit and falsehood, calibrate intention to dwindle through hard labour. Get a good lawyer, get all the proof the car which you signed for HP as tok was rather 9ja use. Let you lawyer file a comprehensive report with compensation and mail to him then watch how he wee on his panties.

If he doesn't dance to your tone then head to court. I assure you, you'll win and he will pay you damages that will be enough to buy you a brand new car.

Seek a professional advice on this.

But b4 you take that line of action go to him with your guarantors and make him see reasons why you can't proceed with the contract again and that you are not giving him any money anymore because they car he gave you was a 9ja use car which he didnt tell you. You guys should first try and talk things over like men. But if this doesn't work then opt for the plan B up there. But mind make sure you've your proofs and evidence before you let him know any thing ooh.

But you self, how come you carry car without knowing its a 9ja use? Are you a leaner? Every tok car has a unique scent/smell. You self fuckup ooh. From the document self you should also know especially the custom papers will tell you when the car entered 9ja. Otundo driver. Na drivers like you jpworld get as drivers. You no smart at all.

But anyhow shall you go dey alright Las las.

Nothing. You've signed the dotted lines, all you can do is look for a way to make your partner reason with you while you keep paying as much as you can as soon as you can, you've got to the stage where owners take advantage of little faults and defaults to terminate HP contracts and retrieve their car(s), thread carefully

How can you sell a property that's not yours in the first place? Unless the driver in question has the original document to the car, even at that there's still an existing contract btw the owner and the hire purchaser so selling the car by any of these parties without any form of understanding duly sign by both party is a bridge of contract and the other party can press charges.

There is defamation of character here in the first place so that needs to be addressed b4 anyother thing unless the driver still want to be taken for a ride by the owner.

Legally, the driver has a upper hand but base on proof that the said car was actually bought 9ja used and not tok. That's deciet otherwise known as SCAM.

You ain't following up the story teller.

The Hirer actually said he's currently having issues with the car and the Hiree advises him to sell the car and pay off his balance to him, so there's no breach of contract since the Hiree consented and advises to sell off the car.


My own question thrown at the person that seconded that advise was if he sells off the car to balance the Hiree, will the remaining cash be enough to buy another Buy & Drive car or what does he advise the Hirer to do after selling off the car.

If he sells the car for 900k ...and the partner agrees to take 150k.....with that balance he can get a ok naija use....so many platforms online.....with the history of the car attached.

If he gets a car around 800k.... He can make a quick turnover

I'm following but for hiree to advice hirer to sell off car can be a trap because the contact state hirer can't sell. That's my point. Unless they put it in black and white then hirer can sell.

Clarify this statement apropos your first post. You knew the car was a 9ja used car? And then it was clearly stated on the contract that car was 9ja used?

Baba I'm not saying 9ja used can't go for HP.

The guy seems to be economical with some facts, I think he's just trying to get sympathizers which is bad. If truly he knows car was bought 9ja used then why complain. Let him balance his HP and do what ever he wants with the car otherwise, sell it off after having the hirer to sign for the sale of the car then he can beg hirer to reconsider.
