Don't generalize. That you can't do it, doesn't mean a whole lot can't too. Dig?
Me self no fit maintain hybrid.. Let us be honest with ourselves ,we can agree that Nigeria has a very bad maintenance culture. So it will very hard to maintain such car .. Those that can maintain, what about parts ,and finding capable hands, parts can be very expensive to get .. Normal cars self it is hard to get capable mechanics, talk less of hybrid.. I talk from reality on ground and also from a business man point of view..

Everybody can get sick .poor man sickness can from not having enough and been poor ... but either way u look am ,I don't pray to be sick ...but I rather be a rich sick man than a poor sick man ..

[b]Can one trust all this ebay sellers? [/b]By the way naija as a whole can someone get real genuine honda fluid? Can one trust those oyingbo boiz? Shey Honda even get office or dealership for naija for all this things.



Mehn this is a Bleep up country.
Ebay is a gold mine. If you know how to use am .. The only issue I had with eBay is that the wrong parts were sent to me. But you can always return them .. That is the only I had with them ..my last a/c compressor for my elantra was bought on ebay. This is after changing tokunbo compressor at Ladipo 3 times wasted over 80k naira ,including downtime ... I decided to buy one on ebay for $55.00 with six months guarantee... the compressor is doing very well now ....again ebay is a gold mine, if you know how to use them .. Look for buyers review, and at times it junk yard sell stuff on ebay too ..some will even post their business contact on ebay ... small and big business sell on ebay bro ....
And to sell fake stuff on ebay ,you are risking been ban for life ...

Obviously, when you type search on eBay for Honda Civic ATF ,it will bring up Honda dw in replacement of Z1 ... my point at the end of the day with civic use Honda ATF by following the owner manual it will lead to where you suppose to use the currant ATF..

I already gave up on this matter, but dia is need for clarification, points r not being tackle, all we get is where I am coming from and where I am, how about where u r going 2? Complete mute over dat. You make 10k gross per day and soh? What's the point of displaying net/gross when cost and energy can't b determine and you said its all about encourage, that ain't encouraging, but a way to make ppl see no sense in that small voice in their head.

NNPC, Civil servant push for better living and regulatory of their welfare, but anytime anyone tries to plant this seed, some one crawl from nowhere & be like kill it, its unnecessary, while uber/both keep changing policies as if the people deh are dealing with are less of human, dough! I don't blame dem, cos I am not part of dia member or accurately know what its takes to run the company, but a bit of sensitivity won't hurt.

About leaving the platform if you feel you can't meet up with change in flux... I think that is the most insensitive thing I've ever heard. We are quick to forget this work cares for you as much as your last day, no bonus, no entitlement, no pension, no experience, if you like spend 5 years on it, if you have no reasonable exit plan, you are back to zero... So for a work that takes all you time, degrade you in term of societal value and if care is not taking, your children will call you uncle, I think one deserves a beta reward when its all said and done

Note: I drive my car and only work when d spirit leads, but it burns when I see drivers on rental go through all dis #HeartFlow #LifeShouldntBeThisHard
Hopefully it will lead you to work smarter.. This is your time to work hard bro while you are young..... If you are broke I don't know where the spirit will lead u to .. They are different spirits out there . Spirit of doubt, spirit of fornication, spirit of laziness etc and the list goes on. Just know dey kind spirit dey lead u o

Buy a Tokunbo Honda Civic 2005 for between 1.1m to 1.3m, use and sell as Nigerian used car for between 600k to 800k
Buy a Tokunbo Toyota Corolla 2005 for between 1.7 to 1.9m, use and sell as Nigerian used car for between 1.1m to 1.3m
In both cases, the car sold for about 500 to 600k less than Tokunbo price

Now, talk to me again about second hand value.

PS: the above statement assumes that both vehicles are properly maintained
Anybody buying a Nigeria used corolla for 1m up ,needs serous help.. Most of the corolla naija used are D.O.D ,dead on arrival.. Have you seen a dead car that is well packaged , car looks well kept etc .give three months the car will just pack up ..

Has anyone noticed that the almighty Corolla is beginning to lose the so called second hand value.

Naija used Corolla now 1M.

Still depends on the condition anyway.
I predicted this years ago ...most of the corolla on uber are dead, it is a ticking time bomb for the next owner... same with elantra now ,I stated that elantra are getting expensive as the corolla.... I couldn't get an elantra to buy anymore at a good landing cost ....

I responded on the best car for Ehailing judging by current situation of things.

No need to tease or mock me.

Civic 1.6L is good, but hybrid 1.5L is gooder
And I express the reality of an hybrid ..... I agree with you 100% that hybrid is the best choice for Ehailing, but the reality is that the resale value is what you have to think about... before you go get person that will buy a Nigerian used hybrid, and even if you dash for free ,nobody go take am .. Hybrid will not tolerate any form of abuse.. And we Nigerians we like to abuse our cars ..that is the reality.. Hybrid is good , but can you maintain it ,do we have mechanics that can fix ,do you money for the parts etc . If you can successfully answer those questions than people should import them ... At times I see civic hybrid for $500 run and drive. But reality and common sense will not let go near am

Na Toyota Prius you mention carelessly like that?
A good Prius would be your best bet anytime any day.
Nigerians can barely maintain regular car ... so nay Prius dey want maintain... after using the Prius now ,and u want sell am who go buy am ? Abi u want use the car forever ..just like majority of the cars that comes into naija market a lot of them need repairs ...now in Yankee for your information, Hybrid is expensive especially the battery.. Once the battery reaches its expire time ,owners end up selling them .. To change those battery will cost you $10k ... so that is why does hybrid end up in the naija market.. You see few of them on the road ...

Good day Dru23, Please someone told me that Honda civic 2003-2005 don't have the problem of leg pulling, please i want to confirm how true it is.
The only thing about civic or Honda cars is ATF aka gear oil .. Their transmission can be unforgiving if you use the wrong ATF .. Honda engines can take a lot of abuse o ,trust me from experience.. And I never had any leg pulling issue

This was my first post on this tread but I wasn’t adviced properly but I felt there is an opportunity to make money in the transportation sector.

I found out that things aren’t rousy anymore particularly when you are not on ground.

I believe you are on ground to monitor your business that’s why you go with the Rentals option @dru23.

Don’t you think I will have issues if am not on ground to monitor it. Should I fancy the Hire purchase option?
Either way it is very tough bro ... I went from about 10 cars to targeting 5 cars now ... very tough business, but sometimes managers ,drivers ,mechanic do make the job much harder.. Ever since I change mechanics, my car has been doing very well. It was change of mechanics that encourage me to continue... I also took time to hire good drivers too ,have been lucky so far ... so on that hp level I can't give you advice o .. I don't want to lead you astray.. In life at times u just have to roll the dice and shoot your shot.. Also am not always in the country, I have a good team around me ... shoot me an email if u want to dru23@hotmail.com

Why shouldn't they complain bitterly when the hardship is too much? and why should they quit when there's no better job?
My assumption is that you are referring to uber drivers in the USA .. People still make money, but I guess nobody wants to put in all those hours to make am ...uber in Yankee is good for part time work... but I believe that people doing it full time are the ones complaining. Another friend that I know does it part time and he loves it ... in the USA uber has provided a lot of people to be able to work at their own pace and time .. It has given people freedom to be their own boss ... so you can't always bake your cake and eat it at the same time

Thank you sir, pls as an investor rentals or Hire purchase in Nigeria? Which do you still think is best.

Do you think strike of any form can happen in Nigeria as regards ehailing and it will work?
Personally uber is hard enough doing rentals.. Me personally for now ,I can't HP , to much stress from hp.. So in my humble opinion, I think investors should stick to rentals
