Not been here in a long while. I remember d last time u and i discussed about a car,ur terms were a bit tough and we did not agree.
As par d car i drove before now, i dropped it cos d owner was playing smart and i am not ready to manipulate anyone to make money. So i dropped his car and walked away.
Better to c ourselves in future and play together rather than cursing one another
My brother I never recall me and you spoke at all.. .. As per my terms .. I have the best terms than any partners out there.. My cars are 30k weekly and I do all repairs both minor and major.. My drivers don't pay kobo for any repairs at all.. And my cars are tokunbo cars not naija used that has changed hands from one owner to another. So I dont know what is rough about my terms , unless make I give car for 15k weekly o .. So my brother we never spoke at all ... And plus I don't have any cars available now , but I will be adding another Tokunbo 04 civic in November.. So if you agree to my terms we can set up an interview and go from there..

Thanks Mr. Dru. Basically, one has to plan himself very well. Sometimes, you have to use a stone to kill two birds. I do have enough time before and after going to work. I usually don't have anything doing with that time. Instead of leaving the house by 9am and drive empty to work at Ikoyi from Ajah, with Uber, I leave the house early by 6 - 7am and still get to work in good time after earning reasonable amount of money. I close 3pm from work quite a lot of time, instead of wasting time going back home to do nothing, I hop on Uber, get paid and still get back home in good time. That way, I utilize my free time meaningfully. Sincerely, Uber has been a good side hustle. That's why I follow it diligently. On weekends, I burn fuel watching football on TV. With Uber, I'm on the move, especially when 3% is staring at me in the face, I don't have to waste my weekend getting bored in the house.
I love your energy bro.... Keep it up bro and I hope others are reading and motivate to do the same ...

I've been on 3% since Thursday. Do you do Uber full time? I ask because I do it part time and usually reach 15 - 20 trips threshold by Thursdays and I don't do it at night. Done 3 trips already this morning before making it to the office.
We need more people like you to motivate others.. Good job bro .... Just only part time and you completed 20 trips already.. You made the impossible, possible respect man

We all need to challenge ourselves including me .. We need to build generational wealth, not petty trading.. By no means to disrespect anybody ..but just talking from experience and observation...
It reminds me of what the South African President was saying about Nigerians in SA . He basically said we need huge investments, not petty trading that Nigerians and other Africans are in doing in SA .. Am not knocking anybody car dealing or car sales off o .. But trying to start a conversation to see if we as people can grow and think big .

Boss, leave that man alone.

He knows nothing. I repeat nothing.
People dey wey dey sell at least 4/5 cars a week....leave him.


Simple stuff are always complex and complicated to him.

A small tip for you dru23, you know that thing they call connetions, networks, and cash? They are very strong tools of car business.
It still boils down to profit.. The time you put in for these cars and the profit.. Is it really worth it ? Nigerians are always looking for the easy way to make money ..

Perfect Example is Uber .. A lot of people pulled out their fleets because they couldn't handle the stress .. It was too hard for them to handle.. So they prefer the easy way out ,which is to sell cars.. Nobody wants to farm work , people just want the easy way out ..

So cars shouldn't be sold again? Every car dealer should dump car sales are switch to uber? What works for emeka might not work for salisu.

Every business has its ups and down,as far as I am concerned,it all boils down to what suits each individual.
Am not saying people should not sell cars bro .... Am just cautioning prospective investors to look before they leap. A lot of car dealers on the forum are making look like car business is the way to get rich ....

You tagged 1.2m price

Where is the kill and buy....
Hate has clouded your reasoning ability.


Tell us something reasonable....

If my people and I were to come price that your manual car, you go wan cry....
This is why I say car business is overated and dead ... by the time u add a auction fees and shipping to the port, fixing the car before putting it up for sale .. Middle men go get their cut, mechanic, before seller gets his own cut.. Have shipped about 7 Corollas this year so far on request, these are bought via private seller not auction cars.. So nobody can't tell me I don't know how car profit margin works ... .....

Good evening, please which engine oil is recommended for Toyota Camry 2005( big daddy) and gear transmission too.
Thanks
Your Camry is likely an American spec..... Meaning American spec cars like your Camry ,will need American engine oil ... you should not be using European engine oil for USA cars....

So USA import Castrol 5w30 is for sale for 13500k and oil filter for your Camry for 2k.. The oil filter is also made in the USA

The Toyota Corolla 2003 I drive came in January this year, driven for six Months before it was brought down to me, I don't know which oil was used for it's servicing but I guess it is the regular oil they use in Nigeria, can I switch to the extended performance at this period. What do you advise.
More than likely it has been using the ever popular 20w50....which is not the reccomended oil for that car.. I will never use it , some people will you say 20w50 is ok as long as you change the oil often.....
Since you have been using the car for six months now. There is no point switching that is my own opinion . But you can always get a second opinion from an expert that is willing to check engine for sludge or any potential engine damage ...
People that buy tokunbo cars . or owners that has been following manufacture reccomdation are the ones that I encourage to continue using good quality engine oil .

No doubt the sales of the Toyota brands especially the Corolla and Camry has drastictically increased over the years, this can be traced to banks and the conventional taxis adopting this brand as their 1st choice for obvious reasons, Fuel consumption and technical support topping the reasons.

This huge drift to this brand has made the price of this very basic Sedan cars very expensive to acquire. For instance a Nigerian used 2003 corolla can have price tags as high as 1.4million naira.

But let us recall that before toyota took over the streets, taxi drivers used car brands like Mercedes Benz regular and 190e. Mazda, Audi, Peugeot, Etc

What vehicles can you recommend for ehailing other than the toyota corolla? which is now a high target for car thief and vandals not to talk of harassment from law enforcement agencies. If you are currently using other car brands for ehailing kindly share your experiences and challenges.
I just discovered your post now .. Keep up the good work ,continue to encourage others out there. Me myself I have some cars on uber .. Elantra 07 and 08. And Honda civics 03 to 05 .. I love the civics so much, to me they are the best cars for ehailing .. Maintenance and fuel consumption is very low .... Below is the most recent car I bought for ehailing.... I will never go for corolla too expensive and your return on investment takes a longer time.. Even the Elantra is getting expensive to buy as a Tokunbo.. I mainly buy tokunbo cars for ehailing...

Civic has sane shocks as Corolla.
It will never pull except abused.

Honda has strong engines.
Only issue I learnt they have is transmission
.
... and in the accords, the leg pull.

Wetin do Elantra o Dru23?
You shall live long my brother..... Nothing do Elantra at all I have two on my fleet.. I was just saying that the civic shocks are much stronger than the Elantra.. I guess the way the shock system was design. Plus elantra is too expensive for uber job ... for me to get a good elantra for my uber fleet ,the landing cost will be around 1.5m at least 1.5m ... Civics 03 to 05 can be a bit expensive but if u wait patiently person can get a good one at good mileage

Is a lie.. Toyota leg will never pull

Honda is a rubbish car, somebody will be changing ball joint every 3 month..
Instead of me to buy Honda.. I better be trekking
Try to be objective in your criticism... when you say Honda , there is civic, accord, crv, Pilot, etc .. .. When it comes to civic especially 03 to 05 . And talking from experience, more like uber experience . Have never had ball joint issues at all.. The civic shocks have never had to change them except for one shock for my 04 civic.. The rest are very ok. Better than the elantra .. The civics are low cost maintenance....I plan to add more civics to my fleet. I will be very selective when doing so... more than likely I would not be buying for people...
