I think you need to respect people's opinion, yes civic is a good brand, strong and reliable for this job, if people prefer to use corolla, then so be it... Everyone gat their preference.

You have suddenly stopped recommending elantras
Am in my house come and flex your muscle.

mrsage:
Absolutely correct... Civic 03-05 model is good to go. Tested and Trusted....

samkego:
Please, can you list best cars at lower/avoidable landing cost for uber business?

Diponee:
Wanna know the landing cost of a Honda civic with acceptable year for Uber and Taxify. Thanks

GforGee:
You read my post with the intention that I was writing to derail your comments. None of us stand to gain anything by derailing, keep it up if you're comfortable with it, just be a little kind enough not to keep your experiences to yourself

sam2kenny:
still available? and how much

This trip has sakamaje, the more you look, the less you see. Your car was dancing on its own at Ikate and Osborne

With all you have detailed so far, I have not been able to see you making profits.
You lost millions which could have made some to declare bankruptcy but as a bill gate you are, you are still standing.
Profits are not made in a short while but there are so many uncertainties coming from the E-hailing COYS that affects your business models which will surely make your plans to suffer; just like when they brought that vehicles intake to 2000, fare reduction and you never can tell what they will come up with in the nearest future.
You lost millions and you have been in this for three years now. Three years is enough is for a business of such capital to start making profits plus the millions you lost which I don't see you make. The reason you are still in business is just because you another source of income that helps in keeping your fleet running.
I am not trying to choke my views on you but just to make you see clearly.

Sometimes we often interpret high turnover as profit.....
But again what do I know

My respect for you just over FAT now.
A deplomat they say is someone who will tell you to go to hell and you would actually be looking forward to it.
How person pass message matters alot. Respect they say...

@dru23

Sir, with respect to those writing negative feedback about the business, I think that THEY HAVE SEEN ALL.
Your first trial was about 8 cars if I'm not mistaken. That's #6.4m if each car costs 800k. Sir, obviously you are a rich man. And you disposed all the cars and bought another 5? Come on, it's unfair of you to think others (who ain't as rich) are impatient or don't know how to do business because they expect to reap as soon as possible from their investment.
....THEY HAVE SEEN ALL... Gazzuzz is an automechanic and he complained about the business, please don't belittle his opinions, you claimed a particular driver worked for him and still works for you. Maybe the guy turned a new leaf when he joined your team, you won't know for sure, but even though I don't know that person or Gazzuzz - I know he (Gazzuzz) will take good care of his cars.
As you are a business man (a rich one at that), I love your posts, respect em too and would like to learn from you. It's a great thing you ain't discouraging drivers, God bless you for that, at the same time sir, let them know right from here that all that glitters isn't gold.

Please don't stop writing or posting here. And please do more of experience sharing that has to do with the bad part, that's where we actually learn (even though success stories are sweeter).

andycoal40:
from my research so far sir,it looks like the future of uber/taxify is diminishing each day. Why not try one of the thriving and booming business in sports betting sir?

Nightmare with Elantras.

Stealth100:
I would've loved to meet with you that time too, as I was going to hint you about your ex manager's excesses(my brother drove for you and he used to gist me) before you found out yourself but I was really busy at the time. I also changed my mind about wanting you to help me get cars for cheap because I have serious trust issues when it comes to money and that has nothing to do with you at all.

I believe our arguments are both valid, you feel you're able to make profit because of the low landing cost of your cars but what about the rest of us that are based in Nigeria and can't buy and import our cars from USA? And we are in the majority. So it's safe to say that current rental fees make no business sense considering the amount a Tokunbo car costs in Nigeria.

NOTE: If you can't get Tokunbo cars at 1.4m max, please stay away from rental or get burnt. Examples abound.

Tyche:
You are being overly emotional chief.

Let's look at it objectively, Gazzuzz is a mechanic, he knows all the long and short cut to maintaining a vehicle, sourcing spares, etc.

If he can leave the biz, it speaks volumes of the business.

Honestly, except you are driving yourself, it's easier for the camel to pass through the eyes of the needle than for you to break even the way the business is going these days.

timilehing:
How do you know he drives a Civic? Whenever you're replying, he will be offline. When he's back, you will be offline

Xneg:
This post is childish and funny, when did gazzuzz become a yardstick for comparing success of a business? If he doesn't know how to do the business does not mean the business is bad. So because he chose to sit on the fence, others should follow, anyway what I've discovered is that the serious people making money on uber are not even on nairaland.

I thought I was the only one that saw it.

Stealth100:
I was going to type this. I have records from when I had four cars, and this is the plain truth.
One car I bought for 1.5m was sold for 900k after seven months.
I drive myself now and I make what two cars would deliver in a week. Rental na scam abeg

Epphy:
You no come advertise here if our people will be interested

GAZZUZZ:
It's a little more complicated. But 1 thing he fears most is negative comments about Ehailing

Tyche:
Methinks he's more interested in the consistent cash flow than ROI. Sadly. Most business men hardly do this, once money is coming in on a daily basis, they are comfortable.

Stealth100:
Best of luck my brother

Epphy:
Do you always think before you quote people!!!
I advised the guy based on overworking his body and later asked him about what is unclear to me on his dashboard. How does that translate to calling him crazy?

GAZZUZZ:
one day draw a graph of your capital, your expenditure and income, if you do that you will know uber was not designed for rental. You have spent more than you have gained and vehicles value will drop so drastically even when you want to cash out.
