4 plugs it is...thanks for d comment but any reason for that?

I don't think it can withstand a continuous day to day running ,it is a delicate car,parts to are not that cheap for commercial wear and tear, except u want to finally kill the car for your friend

ok thanks.

Airport taxi? Perfect.

Normal city taxi, called kabu kabu? No.

How the fortunes have turned against the almighty Honda in Nigeria

A car that was made to withstand all used in other parts of the world often fails in Nigeria

good luck my brother

Una dey mk me fear shaaa

Here's my take. Even if the car can stand the rugged road and all, I tell you two months into the business the owner would not recognize his car again. best thing to do is sell the car and buy a gold 3 or Mazda or Nissan. With any of these youre sure of low mileage, cheap parts etc.

Taxi get levels

If na strictly drops or airport taxi where you charge quite high u can give a try but if na kabu kabu it's a no no

Dont try it. You may end up spending more than you earn. If your friend can allow you sell the car and buy gulf, fine. But a Honda for kabu kabu is a no no.

I agree with bacoline, the 2003 Accord is a big car parts arent cheap, even the 4 cylinder engine has a displacement of 2400cc, it better to use it as a car hire or airport drop. Its not suitably for the regular stop and go driving with smaller cars used as taxis under go.
