With this thing you said, u don't know anything about cars.
You are certainly right as my interest is not there. I am only interested that it moves me from a point to the other comfortably and safely while I read at the back. It is why I do not like driving. I will buy a self-driving at the right time if Nigeria will ever get there. But for now, let me just be managing the person who moves me about. No be say a dey pay manning money ooo...na favor. If he is not around, I can call you if tou are interested. You can leave your digits and I will ring you so you can come pick me up. And if you want to apply to to be taking me around, I have someone who will test you very well and see if you are careful enough. And I use uber too. I just like how great the guys are. I do chat with them, but most of them use auto. Who wan suffer his leg in traffic. E be like say you dont know what it is to drive in Lagos with manual. I think you just want to write and feel you sabi. ..right? And if non kf the option is not available, or I dont have much cash...oga, a no dey do yanga. A don enter my BRT. Sir, I just want to escape driving in traffic by any means. Sir, and if by whatever I get stranded I one, a don pick bike...a no dey do yanga. When i get to where a dey go, a go use pure water wash my face, comb my hair, spray sweet smell on myself again. A be confirmed hustler. Do not think I am one spoilt rich person. You know how Linda Ikeji dey...see...Linda na real hustler. She can abandon her Bentley and hustle. No try her. Just that for security purpose now she cannot do it. A very humble babe. Hustler. And as you see Dino Malaye...na so. Leave all those IG stunts. Dino na confirmed area fada who can pick okada anytime. Leave story sir.

When my interest gets back to driving, what I want to do is learn sport driving for fun. A no wan suffer myself in Lagos traffic. When I am settled in my comfortable place, I will start soon. If knowing about cars is knowing about one 25 years old car that has left the first hand user 20 years ago, count me out sir. Again, if a go drive manual, give me a good sport car in a country where traffic no dey. If dem go ask me go to driving school again and again...na so a go say yes sir.

God bless! And We move!!!

I don't see too many people using this car for Uber. Since the maintaince is cheap, a lot of people would have preferred it, if it was good for Uber. I am just saying though

It only have market value in the north, I bet u it's a good car with it's assembling plant in kaduna, most users are around Abuja upwards, it has less market value in Lagos and likes

All you said is correct but for the 80k engine.
Peugeots is very good car. Fuel economy, efficient and will serve you any time and day. Least I forgot the parts are way cheaper. I no de use my 406 joke.
406 one of the best cars in the world

That's because most drivers can't drive manual vehicles. Peugeot 307(manual transmission) is a better alternative for the business compared to these overrated Corollas.

Yes you're right. A good number of Bolt drivers make money with the vehicle here.

OP....this your question hard small. From personal experience I would advise NO if you are just about to acquire it. Just get a Toyota corolla or Camry or Nissan sef.

Wait don't get me wrong o, Peugeot 307 is a good car but not ideal to use 247 as a source of incomeI, have been using my Peugeot 307 since 2008 (13yrs) and this morning I am still going to rock it to work.

The journey so far has been up and down, some moments its the best car in the world, sometimes, I just regret why me. Just imagine last Thursday I was about driving out and the steering was hard, had to spend an unplanned 35k to buy power steering pump. Bros you will make money and spend all the money to repair the car mostly electrical faults like nozzles, fuel pump, alternator, terming belts, A/C will come up etc. As a matter of fact, you need a loyal standby mechanic cos Peugeot can't be repaired by all this Japanese cars mechanic. Dem go cause you serious damages and regrets. I can recommend in Lagos and Abuja.

Talking about engine, e no dey die. Only changed mine this year based on recommendation and I paid 120k for engine, fixing, and oil used.

Road balance: that motor go enter 160km/hr e no go shake.

Car Safety is 100%. You can park your car locked anywhere in d world, except it is towed, nobody can open talkless of starting the engine. E no go work lai lai. Just like Mercedes, Ford, it can't be easily stolen unlike toyota dem.

My submission: If na naija used pls do not buy for personal use talkless of Uber, and if TOKS pls don't use for Uber, u can buy for personal use.

Cheers

I understand and agree with you. I'm only surprised that an Uber driver who's the owner of his his will have to work extra hard to make 50k in a week. My believe is that you should be able to make that amount without too much hard work

your eye just open I’ve used 3 in my life time all toks. They are great cars and fuel economy is good depending on the engine type. Stay way from road side mechanics. You don’t do regular suspension maintenance like Toyota . Eventually you will discover that you will break even quicker. Less I forget, except the person planing to steal the car came purposely for the 307, it’s almost impossible to move without it’s key.

He is right about Total Oil, this is as recommended by the Car Manufacturer too. If you use any other oil different from the boldly written specification by the bonnet hinges close to the engine fan. Na wahala o

U can use any oil, as long as the weight is correct, sometimes I even put Mobil inside & thier has being no problems at all...

Bro, I have a 2007 model Peugeot 307 and I'm working on using it for dame purpose as well. Highly economical, efficient and totally reliable. But, pls in whatever u are doing, do not get an automatic transmission 307. Meanwhile, the engine and parts of the 2007 ( nigeria assembled) 307 is more expensive than that of the France assembled. So, be sure of what u want and trust me, u won't regret it.

Its good but only go for d one with manual tranny as their autos are not so reliable and also note Peugeots dont like swimming.
Most importantly use only a certified Peugeot automobile enginner or Peugeot specialists and not a road side mechanic. Japanese mechanics are not qualified to repair your Peugeots( please note).
Peugeots are easily prone to electrical issues too so be careful who u give to fix as dey dont like being bypassed electrically.
If maintained properly, its super reliable, extremely balanced and pleasurable to drive.
Why not go for 406 with an EW10 J4 engine(manual tranny) ?u would enjoy it very well
