Did the see where I said I'll be paying back- comfortably so, with my salary?

Besides is finding a rental car not the same as taking a loan? It's even worse in my opinion, cost it means you go use the car hustle day and night.

Me I just plan to use the car as a side gig, as my salary is gonna enter 550k by next year ending by God's grace. Deductions by my bank from my monthly salary will pay off the loan comfortably over the space of 5years, even if I no use the car hustle at all, let alone when I use it as a side gig, which most rental will never give you!

Think this my line of thought well again bro, and let me know what you think.

Taking a loan to buy a car is fine but using 4m to buy a Camry for this hustle in this fuel bulaba is a wrong move

Look for vehicles with smaller engine and buy

My two cent

Omoapena:
I thought the intention was to use the car solely for Uber and pay off the debt with whatever you get from the hustle, i didn't see where you said you intend to use your salary to clear the loan....


Rentals isn't the same with taking loan to buy a car, rental will still give you sense of peace since the car isn't yours, and there will be no pressure on you coz you will know if you fail to remit and owner decides to retrieve his car, you're not loosing anything other than job. But when you take loan, the pressure to clear the loan, work pressure, car maintenance pressure and all will be a huge burden on you.



Anyway, since you intend to use your stable salary along with whatever you get from the car hustle, then it's fine....

Goodluck

Help me beg Pearl1910. Today laidis, I trek go 3mtt class 😭😭😭

😂

I thought you were earning in dollars on your tiktok soft hustle

TheModerator:
I know you na, you no get shame. No surprises you've taken this your beggy beg lifestyle to the streets, apartment to apartment. You've graduated from being a federal goat to a federal begger.

That's why ou drive a car with *BOLT* boldly inscribed on the two sides you no dey take free things play

This thread is supposed to be for drivers or partners in this hustle

The tip I dropped was for drivers, na fellow comrade share me the update as we got there and I collected mine

I don't know why you frogs that have no business whatsoever here won't let us breathe here

Nelochukwu:
06 City is perfect for the job also. Great fuel economy and generally rugged even in my option more rugged than it's senior brother the 2013 city. Cheers.

06/07 city is fuel efficient no doubt but the cons is that it's body is so soft and fragile
Any small bash the body don press

TheModerator:
Guy, you be vulture? You and freebies na five and six, you must be present. How did you earth out apartments offering freebies on the Island? Your sense of smell is something else. I applaud you bro. Hope you don submit aza to Pearl?

Yes I have
Hope I've answered your question 😂

Senseless punk

pope191:
Forex determines the price of crude oil. There’s no how exchange rate will be 1628 naira to a dollar and we will be buying fuel at 885. Free market means you sell at your own price without any form of regulation. Fuel should be at least 1350 naira. That will be around 1500/1600 in other state. I guess everywhere go scatter, so make them they commot shock for una body small small till uncle Dango tell us wetin he go sell give NNPCL nah when we go truly know where we deh.


40k fuel below… it is well

Well I just hope by the time full tank gets to 100k I for don commot for this country by the grace of God.


Things are damn difficult ATM

I guess by now, drivers that makes millions week in week out now makes billions week in week out with the current increment 😆

Another update

Most apartments on the island also offer drivers incentive when you bring a rider to lodge

The incentive depends on your bargain with the manager. For example ziroc apartment and villa thirty three.

Note: you need to register for free at these apartment as a driver and call the manager to inform him of your coming and bargain your price

ksmart027:
Once cng comes to ph, i am converting my car asap. I think a lot of people don't know cng is hybrid system, and you can easily switch to petrol when the cng is exhausted. If any client load can't fit in the trunk or back seat, the person should request another ride simple. And if eventually i want to sell the car, i will uninstall the kit.

My own is,if CNG installation becomes relatively affordable I will do it on my car

If I get to put and riders load can't fit I will cancel and look for another rider

After all I can afford to drive to as many pu as I want since the cost of CNG is very low thereby reducing my running cost

On the other angle which one is nnpcl is still subsidising pms

Why don't they remove the subsidy and close the chapter once and for all make all man know the price is now fixed because like this that 800+ pms is selling for now will turn to 2000 tomorrow and we will still be hearing it's because they are still paying subsidy 😡

Shey if I say Bọlá Tinubu is a bad president will my name enter the list?

Funny man 😂

Leave pearl and co dem know wetin dem dey do

Add political propagandist

pheelhip:
I don't go such routes, I have seen such location hit 11k on indrive atimes. If you hurry to pick trips, you will pick lower fares.

But luck.
I took from ikeja to unilag 8000 on indrive, went through Gbadaga, no traffic. Soft trip. From Finbars road to Agric ikorodu on indrive 11,300. From agric to Ogudu 5700 (low but I was rushing home). My vehicle is a 1.6l engine. Those trips I used 8ltrs fuel less than 5000. To cover the 3trips.

You see the variance in the prices.
Indrive atimes offers good rates, but few peeps are so quick to accept rides on indrive thereby going for cheaper rates. I rather stay where I am for hours than to pick low rate trips except I am in an hurry.

I might have made more on bolt but I resent bolt for suggesting location I don't like, not bren able to choose my preferred location and distance.
I made money eventually through indrive. I just don't go about driving through traffic.

At the current pms price that 8l is almost 8000 naira

Please be guided

Omoapena:
More than 1m self.

Let's say, he uses 60k fuel weekly, that's 240k monthly and 8 months have passed in this year, that's 1.9m in 8 months just on fuel.


That fuel matter no really dey pain me cox we use it to make money but you see engine oil, that shit is going up every week, they now sell total 20w-50 for 22,400, I'm pretty sure it must have gone up to 25k like this.

Tinubu is a curse on us

Leave that man

Thanks for the calculation tho

obinoral1179:
walk in to do what precisely?

😂

I can't even believe my full tank that was once 8k is now almost 65k now


This year alone I go don spend almost 1m on Fuelling alone

I know ehailing defenders go jump come and begin to say ehn na the riders go suffer am, with the prices I'm seeing now, na God hand we dey

The reason why I think any protest in a bid to reduce pms pump price will be futile is

If Lagos spearheads the protest, other states go tell you they have been buying fuel for more than 900 naira for a long time so make all man rest.

The thought of even going to queue is tiring and I need to work
Kai

Don you really browse Nigerians for this Una regime oh

Pearl1910:
Star boy sef no fit solve fuel scarcity problem baba say subsidy is gone, still they are spending x10 times more than PDP spent on subsidy.
We only experienced fuel queues during Christmas period when "clueless" president was there.
But this one that has been preparing to be president for 30yrs, full of clues and blessed with "intelligent" wing men that built Lagos cannot sustain one month of fuel availability.
It must be depressing for his supporters.

APC apologist will never agree to this

I guess he is still BROWSING and sipping on his DON simon while searching for a counter defense


Hmmm.....

Omoapena:
I'm not someone that gets freaked about traveling, infact, I never thought about it for once.

You can't trick me by promising me to take me out of this country while I will fall for it, I get so inquisitive about things and I believe you gotta earn something before you get rewarded for it, so if you're not giving me a reasonable reason why you're doing something for me, my inquisitive traits will start asking questions....

And also, he has actually paid me 95k, he's just owing me like 3days work which I expect him to sort me well for how I always heed to his call whenever he wants to move.

95k for two weeks sojorn

Lmao

I just thank God say you no see buyer for the car wey you been wan sell to japa

Wonders

I guess you still walk around with feeding bottle in your mouth

Meanwhile, raise you right hand up and put your left hand under your arm pit while I pray for you this moment

I decree and declare that every spirit of stubbornness and I too know in your life shall depart for you
From this moment onwards, you will have sense and heed to the advice of your fellow colleagues

Say amen!!!

Omoapena:
It's a new car, just service it once...

New car dey short oil?
Asking for a friend

Palito guys dey fire

Omoapena:
I guess I will switch to synthetic, make I no go kill that one engine with 20w-50

Calculate 1-3litres extra of synthetic oil every 5000miles

Your pocket go hear am

northbird:
Say what you have experienced. My car has been shorting oil for a very long time. N its still the same 2-3,litres monthly.

Lol
2-3litres monthly
Talk true are you happy with your car?

Omoapena:
I was told that too, but can't take the risk to re ring it.

Will stick to topping it up.

Lol... Engine wey don dey short oil na him you wan dey top

From 1litre topping e go enter 2litre then 3litre before you know it tears go full your eye

jpworld:
When has ringing of Corolla engine, been the end of the engine? I have ring several of my cars engine and they are still working, some was ring as far back as 2022 some 2023.

This new generation of mechanics don't learn the work properly, their own is to loose what is bad and tight another one.

I tire oh
Even abroad engines are rebuilt

There are still many mechanics that know how to rebuild engine

Enter the back of ladipo or onyigbo and see how many of the engines many people buy as toks are ringed you go shock

pope191:
Boss say no more, you cant convince me. Dispatch riders are aliens. They have plot of lands beside stanbic bank headquarter with zero worries.

Highest I can do is when I see anybody selling for bricklayers. I park car and join the party. Rice 300, yam 200, mix Ponmo and meat, bread and use 7up to wash it down. I can drive for 2 days uninterrupted.

Shey na one course meal be this or breakfast, lunch and dinner🥺

northbird:
You might be mulling the idea of opening your Engine. . Don't try it.
A corrolla engine hovers around 800k+.

If an extra 8k monthly. on oil that's like 96k yearly. Compared to looking for a new tokunbo engine.

96k versus 800k.

The better choice is obvious to everyone.

How about ringing the engine between 150-200k and close the chapter 🤷

uber driver wey dey go chop for isaac john, that one na OG before IG. Except na that mama put wey dey for beginning of oduduwa way sha.

Na person for here dey stay for chevron 🤐

Welz:
sometimes I see trips on indrive and I wonder who are the drivers taking such trips. nothing on God's green earth will take me to sango Otta even during dry season not to talk of rainy season.

To confirm if it's the engine that is shorting the oil check your plugs and the exhaust

Omoapena:
I would have stick to topping up the oil but then, I can't be buying 1 litre of oil every 2 weeks, that expense is too expensive

You go buy toks oil?
