I don't believe he has a mechanic.send him his money and call it a day .a better offer will come your way.believe me,it's s trend that will not end. I'm a soldier's son,I know the mentality.they're built that way.
They work on your timidity and fear.he'll psychologically wear your out with intimidation and bullying,but if you're a brave heart,he'll become reasonable.

Eherbal is rude and he won't even deny it. He doesn't claim to be what he's not bro.

If you ask him, he will even tell you that his Left testicle is naturally rude.

I have never experienced this stones stuff since I've been eating local rice oh

People have been complaining, but I'm yet to experience it

The only difference I noticed about the rice is the grains are shorter(abi smaller) than the foreign types.

Rubbiish:
My brother, it is better to have half bag of foreign rice than a full bag of local rice. Stones no go let u chop the rice.

kodred:
You guys should stop cheating taxify. Maybe that is why they increased their commission. Do a review and pay the actual commission.

They linked you to the rider and gave you that money. They deserve their cut because without them, you wouldn’t have that money. Integrity guys. Integrity.

Are you guys sure Opay is not bugging this bolt App? Did a trip from Ikoyi to 2 different places on the mainland, trip ended at 2k4. #cardtrip. When the lady asked if I could take her back , I told her to change it to cash, at the end it came to N900. I check app, it was even lesser #400, the lady was surprised and gave me 2k5. they can collect their percentage from my #900.

ogbuefi677:
I doubt that guy worked at the level he always claims he did.
Always myopic and aggressive in his thoughts and words.
There is no work experience that is useless to any sensible prospective employer,forget the way people behave here,Africa is still in darkness.
"I[b] drove on uber for 5yrs" a sensible employer is already reasoning like "if he was able to do uber for that long,means he can handle our diverse clientele well with their different peculiarities".
"I sold okrika under the bridge for 5 years" and he'll be like "this one has patience and can sit his ass down for long as entailed by this job[/b]"

Good day... I will like to ask.

1. Is the only ready to count his loss?

Then back to the issue of HP, I don't know how the owner would want to recoup on such car, for HP I will say nothing more than 1.8m not spread within a duration because something tells me the car will start sakamaje again.
Besides I will advise you not to go back to that car because you may not derive satisfaction driving it as it has always been an "Evil Spirit" to you. If the owner would want to sell it outright then 1m-1.2m would be good.

In all... Advice the owner to Sell it that's all.

lin3r2:
Hi guys I greet you all. All the elders on this forum, all protocols observed.

Please I'd like your unwatered down opinion on this matter regardless of how unpleasant it may sound. The Bible says "in the multitude of counsel there is safety."

I was driving a corolla 2004 a month back but had to return it to the owner because of the many issues it was having. The last being that the brakes failed.

Now, the owner bought the car Nigerian used for 1.25m with the odometer reading at its last which is 299999 (yea I know, right) anyways, when he told me about it and I took a look at it, I had my doubts the car would be a smooth ride on the platform but I still took it because I like trying things out before concluding.

Fast forward two weeks after putting the car on the platform and driving for just one week I noticed the car shorts oil which i mentioned this to the owner and managed it again for another week where it develop another issue. This time the issue had to do with the noise coming from the adjuster. I took the car to the client who then decided to change the engine and after engine change everything was smooth except for increased fuel consumption which was due to the fact that the car on idle mode read 2000rpm.

I took it back to him and the mechanic adjusted it and everything was fine. Though, prior to the change of engine the hub of the car, as I was made to understand by his mecahnic needed changing because it caused a loud wooing sound when I am on 60kmph and was somehow uncomfortable for riders but I totally ignored that.

The pattern became a week on, 4 days off at the workshop because a lot of issues were just coming up. Now the car started developing a fault where it goes off when I am on the move, that I have to shift to neutral while in motion to start the car again. Though God helped me all the times it stopped that I didn't have issues or accidents. I reported it to the owner who got it fixed by changing the remote box and fuse controller or something like that.

This change seemed to work for a while but later started again until God helped me to spot the issue that was causing it to stop through a rewire who was at shoprite trying to shop. The rewire came out from the mall and saw me trying to start the car and asked me to pop the bonnet which I did and he immediately touched somewhere on the fuse box and the car start immediately. I thanked him and he advised that the fault is an electrical issue and not something a mechanic would fix but a rewire I took his number and thanked him again. By the way, this rewire was properly dressed and seemed like someone who was making good money from his job.

While I was wondering what that rewire at shoprite must have touched to make the car start, I later realized that there was this fuse that is labeled 40 that always go hot because it was fused using a wrap of wires. All I had to do when the car stopped was removed the fuse and change the position the other way and voila! The car comes on.

The last time I drove the car was when it failed break on my way to lekki with a rider in it. Though the rider didn't know what happened but after I dropped the rider, I just jejely took the car back to the owner. I told the owner to change all the faulty parts and fix all the issues before the car can work on the platform because the car was now smooth driving after the engine change save for all those small issues that could take a man's life.

The reason for this long epistle is to give a general idea of the cars history which would enable you all make your suggestions.

The owner has fixed everything wrong with the car and done some body work as well. Repairs has cost him over 400k. Now he wants to sell the car out rightly or hire purchase.

Now my questions
1. Would it be wise to even consider this same car for hire purchase?

2. If yes, given all that has happened and the amount of money that has gone into repairs, how much can this car go for hire purchase if at all?

Please your candid advise and suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Don't mind them.
They wanted to cow the drivers with "how will you survive if uber leaves" to have drivers dance to their tunes like they are slaves to uber and riders.
Like we said, uber, bolt, Opay and the rest aren't doing any drivers favour by coming to Nigeria, they are here to make money and they need drivers to make that money

Mjosh1000:
Let's observe 1min silence for taxify (bolt) cos opay on boarding is their funeral.

My view
Taxify (bolt) shitty app, no good customer service,
Driver is not important to them all they care about is riders
If opay can do a good job in these areas taxify (bolt) is good as dead.

On the other hand

Uber
With opay on boarding and their incentive on riders, uber will be comatose for a while cos opay go take all the customer. Uber been uber will come back strong after opay has exhaust all its resources.

At the end of the day it will be uber vs o'car cos taxify(bolt) will go 6fit just like gokada and maxOkada

Very detailed and revealing

adsmaster:

Heard the advert today on radio. Opay is bad News for all. They are coming to take a huge chunk of the market shares, brand new cars, cheaper fares. Guys, brace yourself up for a tougher 2020. I know eventually Opay Cars will fall by the way side as greed and business do not mix.

For me, It's becoming clearer that this ehailing thing is never a place to invest ones whole life and money on. You gotta learn how to diversify in order not to be met with surprises. Opay is here to further mess things up.

peeps4u:
So, they will use their money to pay the drivers and service the cars because I don't see how they will pay drivers or service cars from the #200 charge.

These guys aren't serious. The way drivers go abuse their cars in few months, dem go fear.

I want to post the screen shot of my ride at 300 miles(500km),to show the bliss of driving without the dreaded'check engine' light,but yet to hit the mark cause of bad roads.not driven for a long time. car is parked at my brother's house at the moment.its presently at over 200 miles after it left the gurus workshop. I'm planning a 100 mile road trip very early tomorrow morning,cause the roads will be free cause it's markets sanitation.
I'll report back to the house. office has been very demanding lately.no time to come online like before.thanks for asking bro.regards to Pocahontas. pls get her pregnant before the year runs out,so she can get busy with other things than heckling guys here. if you haven't noticed,Mr upstream sector is subtly hitting on her.be guided and aware.

chucsmoore:
Those guys has nothing to offer investors most especially drivers and car owners. I pity those wey dey shout Ocar up and down. They are coming to Crash prices for as low as N100, N50. And if that happens that's end of ehailing for me.

Nothing wrong with Festac boss, its about timing and entering point.

I'm just imagining what can possibly take me to that area ever again.

I rather go to satellite town.

Guys I had a terrible experience yesterday, at mushin end of ladipo street.

I was dropping off a rider, didn't know that cult boys were Fighting.

All of a sudden people started running, then I saw boys coming out from a street on my left (50metres ahead). I tried to make a sharp turn to a street on my right but I have passed the street a little bit so I needed to go back a little before I can turn in cos there are bikes parked at that junction. Immediately I engaged reverse, one of them started approaching me with a big stainless Cutlass. I moves back with speed not knowing that Keke is already at my back trying to run into the same street with me and had to hit him.
When they boys saw what was happening, they all started running towards me (about 20+ boys, all with glittering machetes) I had to drive into the street like that, hitting one bike into the gutter. I ran to the end of the street and saw that the street is blocked, I and my rider just ran away to diff direction not knowing that they have stopped chasing me.

When they moved to another street and people started coming back from their hiding points. I came out and saw that they went straight to the sienna that was coming behind me when I made the turn. Then man jumped down and ran away too. They broke all the glasses on that car ( the windscreen front and back and all the glasses).

I saw the bike I hit into the gutter, it's bent on an Angle 45°. The owner came to me and said Oga I no blame you for what happened, I know you were running for your life. That he will not ask me to fix the bike for him cos he equally left the bike there and ran away. That I should give him just 1k, he will complete it and fix his bike.

This was a terrible experience. I went down to Domino's at ilupeju, parked and went into a deep sober reflection for over an hour.

Had I not escaped, what would have been my faith?
