Felicity001:
I want you to pulse a minute and ask yourself "where is my humor?"

Stop this attitude of "I'm perfect and better", that you're privilege to be a citizen of the USA doesn't make you better than the person next to you or do you think you're the only Nigerian with a citizenship card in the USA? Calm down and be humble for God is not stupid.

Just some piece of advice there, I know youll come back with a clap back but I'll tell you, you don't know you to 2% of who I'm, what I'm or capable of so I'll leave you to continue in your seriousness and childishness because ive outgrown that stage in life.

Are you saying baba dru is buying bend down select?

radautoworks:
yes, but if you're buying from most auctions you need a license or are using someone with one and so dealer plates are a given. Speaking from years of first hand experience. Unless you are talking about public auctions in which case you are overpaying AND getting the worst cars.

Blackbishop:
You can imagine. I was tested and given this

1)Cap Azthromycin 500mg twice daily for 2days then 500mg daily for 6days
2) Caps Ibuprofen 400mg thrice daily for 5days
3) Tabs Vit C 300mg three times daily for 2 weeks
4)Tabs Dexamethazone 2mg twice daily for 3days

radautoworks:
if you're buying from the auction you probably already have a dealer license and plates...

Felicity001:
No.wonder some believe dru can't drive.
. Bros drive that shit to ghe port

emadamysy:
Kindly educate me .
Why do you have to tow the car to the port . Can't it be driven towards that direction or are you referring to accidents cars ?

radautoworks:
No, no difference. Some people shout rust but that's the case with any car from the upper half of the US as well. My Acura MDX I'm driving right now came from New York and I had to rust proof it before driving it in Texas. Anywhere it snows there is rust. It's just a question of how bad and what do you do about it?

Want to avoid rust, buy from southern US states and make sure to check Carfax that it did not come from a northern state.

samobaba4u:

Hapi sales,car is clean

pope191:
Boss abeg don't over get high on your supply, what I wrote there is clear enough and you are not the only cars supplier biko, I obviously won't bring private matter to public (talking about what we here thinks). When you say enough folks still uses Elantra for Uber, e b like say you they follow them park under tree for chevron, abi you they follow them sleep in front of farmcity, you can rehearse the role of Arnold behind your keyboard, but me will offer you reality.

I touched almost everything you wrote here, but since you want to cherry pick and quick to conclude, it all becomes watery and sense of weak emotions for me. About teaching me business? what works for you may not work for me. Let me narrow down to you and Felicity001, no gesture of offence please... how many months did you guys worked as partner? how much did he bring to the table? How much did you use to fix the car when the going was good and after? Business 101

Please no cherry picking.

kanuisagoat:
You did the right thing bro. You want go slave for 3.5 years?

You will end up putting over 100,000 miles on that car that I'm sure has done over 200,000 miles already. By the time you're done considering our maintenance culture, that vehicle is dead already. Of what use is it for you.

Not going to blame the owner of the vehicle too, he's not running a charity organisation and he's only making about 25% per annum which i think is very much fair.

The only way this HP model works on bolt is if the person driving it has someone else that foots his bills. Maybe the parent, cousin or uncle. That way, he can remit all his earnings to the owner of the car and pay him off in a year and half or thereabout.

Anything else is destined to fail.

sharpk007:
Haaaaa, today sermon long ooo


@Dru23 and Pope it is well ooo

pope191:
Oga Dru I just want to let you know that an attack on the Pope is an attack on every Oven world wide. Seriously you won't like to go one on one with me on this issue, because you obviously will b found dumb with the questions I'll throw at you.


As you said I don't have knowledge of what I am saying, I hope you've read through the place Kanu Nwankwo the G.O.A.T and I talk it out, about me using my experience when I was trying to get one as standard. Inbtw that I've seen toks for 1.4 on jiji, probably if priced, one maybe able to arrive at 1.3m, what's the difference in + or -? Oh! Is a dead car, you've already test drive it abi? and it's not possible according to your analysis. You need to wake up, dust that dirt of your shoulder, folks sell cars for different reasons, some even use it to launder money, some just need to get ride off the old stocks to clear new and better cars, they won't be sitting on 100 to 200k profits, when they have better fish to catch.

On Hyundai? I generalise it and you singled one out of it, how wise is that? But I'll still pick the choice you flow with. Going back to 3 yrs ago, this same car was almost flooding everywhere with 407, what happened to them today that made Corolla and Matrix still gaining egde among them? I don't know... You said it's because of high cost you stopped using them. Bros high cost or low cost, once a tool is not feasible for business, simple means it's not good for such business, forget the pampering biko. You said you sold you Elentra easily, yet Nigeria used cars are not worthy to buy, the buyers most have been very stu.pid, craz.y, senseless and fooli.sh to have put their foots in such buy I guess. Oh! I forget, you always maintain your car's. Please how much did it cost you to put the cars to work? How much did you sell them? I leave that to your faith. But one thing I just Want you to know that selling is easy if price is right, even our villain ford, is someone hero and probably if the can maintain it well, all we b well. Let me burst your bubble, I can survive with heaping an idol that I'll have to drop oil on his head every 1a.m, the traffic in Lagos can b crazy, one day I'll get stuck and that nigga goan find me and wipe nonsense of my life, the beginning of a man's fall I guess... meaning, in this country, you can't be 100% right on maintenance, everything is fighting you (from filling stations, oil distributors to the ones that you will think they change Mobile 1 to XHP).

On getting an offline trip. I once picked a rider that said her friend cancels the rider the moment she notice is not Corolla or Camry, that's odd if you ask me, but who is going to tell her? For the men, they hardly care about the car, but for these our wives? You just can't see enough of them, when I was using Hyundai, one once told me she was happy about another type of car outside the norm. So it's an influx of back and forth, but with corrola/camry assurance cover you. Need you know that on Civic, most people sitting at the back find it difficult to stretch legs, Even your boy (sorry! Man) Felicity001 is looking for car and he's not putting Civic as option, I believe say e get reason.

Let's narrow down to business: You said, you sold your used cars above 1m, for want of understanding. Please can you knowledgeable buy any car used on uber for a year and months or 2 years above 1m? Can you advise anyone you know to buy such? What's the sense in buying a car for 1.6m in the name of civic, register it and incur most cost, only for them to b pricing it 700k, 600k after a year? All this stu.pid marlians with no respect for cars. Chucmoore said he's spendin 300k to fix his car, give chilex8 that 300k, I'm sure he will add 100k to it and uber car is on it way to set so you see what works for A may not work for B, but since he that is wearing the shoe knows where is pinching him the most, then damn perception and do what works for you. You invest, I invest and drive at least 4 days in a week, slept inside the car and start over the next day without bath, menh! Don't toy with the head I give, it's may pain, stress and regrets I'm giving out for free to save another person, and prep a better easy rolling ground for them.

Note: I'm not saying Civic is not good, for a starter with low budget, it's the best option and he or she can built from there. Please know someone with G wagon and Camry no b mate for Lekki-epe express road, if you think say I they lie, ask Korope how they act when they notice the one in front of them.

pope191:
We are in the same dilemma, I have used Hyundai and I'm using Honda now, but struggling to get Toyota. Feel's like I'm yet to arrive if I don't have Toyota. I was patiently observing the type of car argument last week and choose to keep mute if expert like Bishop or Madam Rad are not saying anything.

But my little submission on this matter: either cars are built for different purpose or we need to understand the reason why we need a particular car at a point in time. Toyota small but mighty barely reduce in price, it's that kind of shoe you will use and leave for ur children (mallam ku rin jo).

Toyota Corrolla: 2m or 1.5/6m for grade local used, if you use the car for 2 yrs and want to resale, pending on abuse... The car may go for 1.6 for toks resale or 1.3 for local used, at the end 300/400k difference

Honda Civic: toks 1.2/1.1, while used can fly from 750 to 400k and some times it's hard to tell the difference b/w both. Let's assume you get a good grade Honda for 750 and you use it for 2 years, sell at 600k, what's the difference? 150k

Prons: They both make same money, but I consider Toyota Corolla as moving money and owners worth, better chance of offline trips if you have good communication skills. For Honda? The A/C, interior and sound system is a give away. If you buy a car of 750 and after 2 years, you've made 3.5/4m plus or minus, compare it to buying a car of 2m and making same amount.

Cons: inability to sleep well, excess security consciousness and insurance matters, unlike the Honda civic where you may careless, drink your beer in peace. For the Honda? Your communication skills must be top notch before you can nail an offline trip, not that you cant, cos I do and mostly turn them down (they are distraction to work flow for me). Chance of having disappointed clients are high, in all fairness I have taken my leave on 3 clients cos they want big cars and I can't b begging someone, some will even ask if they accept this kind of car now (2003/2004 civic), thinking the car is 1996, I'll b the one explaining this is 04 car, same year with your Corrolla. The gear is the major problem, you see the solenoid will show you shege (Don't let no one tell you different), I practically service my solenoid switch every 2 weeks, with extra 2 up and down soleniod in the boot (each set cost 12k). while you may not even get to service Toyota gear for 6/12 months, let me not talk abt Honda service duration.

As for Hyundai's and it reselling values, you will be the one begging the clients to add some tin, part availability is in Ladipo and you may not get the toks, but new. Sound protect? They will ask you to go work Toyota own to it.

Toyota Yaris have is unique compressor, so when it get faulty, just know it's a beginning of a new Dawn in your life. For Toyota Camry 2003/08? Let's leave that for another post

Let me stop here, need to on my app, I'll edit later.
