I didn't express an opinion about you. I said you hadn't been to any of ours, a statement you did not refute. Thank you, next!

I Don't understand, why is everyone scared of accidental cars,. Since it has been fixed and the car is now working fine, what's d big deal there na

pope191:
Boss pls take this platform the way you see it and don't see able comrade jokes as insult. I've been trying to wrap my head over dis your logic, if true. But since you said you have been in the business for long and you are willing to deposit 50% of MOU on the car.

My view; if the car cost 1.7/1.8 and the owner peg 3 million on it, 50% of that is 1.5 million now it will take you 15 months to pay the rest at the rate of 100k per month, while all you need to become your own boss is just 200k on the 1.5m. Wisdom should be profitable for you here, cos a man is expected to grow beyond don't be stupid at a certain age.

On the second hand, let's assume you have 1m. According to dru23 & co. (with due respect), Honda civic toks 2004/2005 goes for 1/1.1m, that car is much enough on e hailing platform now and I want to believe it will serve you for a year at worst. If you can save 50k every week since you have the zeal in you, in a year, that's 2.4million... I believe you can have the corolla you want and still have another sound car to give out If you want.

Thirdly, 1 million will get you a good naija used Matrix, if you work hard enough and maintain it well, you can sell off and get your choice car within 5 to 6 months

My opinion anyway.

I have one of my neighbor who is into Uber that used to intimidated me with figures then (salt and paper things plus screenshots), he later had an accident after fixing the car he always call me now and then to transfer money for him to complete his weekly remittance.
One would have thought that with such figures he will have a lot of savings, I asked him he said he himself can't even explain what's happening.
One of the things he said was that the money doesn't come once so as a they come u also have small small expenses.
He gave me an instance assuming he make 15k at the end he buy fuel 4k, eat, pay tolls and do other small small expenses u will be left with Oga money for the day. And sometimes he have AC wahala like compressor issues because he actually changed the compressor twice the first one was bought brand new that's like 25k
My point: what I see on my dashboards doesn't always translate to how much cash I have at hand as in my pocket.
Again some of the people that successfully run HP at a point defaulted some didn't even succeed the first time but the experience helped them later.

If you have a sizable responsibility you will know that 120k a week you see on the dashboard (assuming is consecutively) can barely sustain you, only those into the system understands.
That's why some partners who added their driver to their account will be seeing figures and be wondering why the drivers find it difficult to deliver.

I don't just want to talk but if what fahrenz posted here is what he make I make more than him but I am not here to measure prick.

public announcement: To whom it may concern.

Attention all new Drivers.
Attention intending Drivers.

Pls, don't believe all the Earnings you see on Nairaland o.

Just be You, do You and DON'T run someone else race.

darmilolah:
I know that your friend and he is enjoying 1 thing which I will not mention here.

Hard working female drivers make more money than male drivers but then they hear alot of stories and also face rejection.

darmilolah:
I know alot of Drivers with so much energy over a year ago. Where are they today?

There is even one Super edger here that can't drive again base on doctor's advice else he will DIE

Baba if you win that lottery e go come with en own stress ooo

More money more problems

nitigriti:
Oga dru, understand that consistent earnings in the 120k+ weekly gross range is very possible, but only a very few drivers - maybe like 1% - can achieve it. Like Chucksmoore said, there is a learning curve to it. There's attitude and work ethics involved. There's terrain knowledge involved. Customer relations. Driving skills. Car care skills. Knowledge of self skills - when to push the button and when to stop.
No one should come here and imply any body can just run a hire purchase of #3.5 million at #35,000 weekly for 2 years.

Fafafa ... Foul

nitigriti:
1) Leave the offline out of this, except you can show us a bank transfer with a name matching the name of the rider
2) Listen to your words again - net #120,000 every week, consistently. Those are your own words. So show us how you did it for 2 months, then we will try to reason with you that it can be done on hire purchase for 2 years
3) Cumulative is easy. It doesn't tell the real story - that in this hustle, its inconsistent. There are ups and then there are downs. Many hire purchase arrangements fail because of this your same assumption - I net #120,000 per week, I will remove #35,000; I have #85,000 to play around with. Its not that simple. Sir.

Lolzz, I am loyal my chairman.
The stress of Uber is too much so I always come here to cool off, it's fun.

nitigriti:
The theory is good. Practicals are a different matter entirely

Gentlelife50:
Lolzz, bros how far?

DJperdurabo:
The emboldened is the flaw in the analysis.

deedee44:
I'm sorry for quoting you, I hope you won't call me names this time.
Can any driver do 120k weekly consistently for a year?

Fahrenz:
I understand you points.
HP is not for everyone but that doesn't mean it won't work.

No one can drive 730 days without hindrance and when I said 730 days I didn't mean it in a stretch. No one signs a contract that doesn't allow for hindrance. We are humans.

My point is from a positive perspective.

If a Toyota corolla is totally sound, engine, body, gearbox and suspension it is very easy to achieve HP. I gave that guy a number of factors that would make him successful and if he sticks to it, he will be fine.

If you can consistently net 120k in a week and you have a good maintenance habit and saving habit, you don't need two years to complete the hp. You need those factors I mentioned, focus, and commitment.

A tokunbo corolla can go straight 2 months without needing anything more than an oil change. And if he uses the extended performance oil, 3 months before oil change. Let's not talk as if cars break down everyday.

At 120k a week, he owes only 35k.

Do you agree that with the remaining 85k left from that week, it is enough for him to fuel the car, eat, recharge his data and airtime and then save at least 25k weekly?

If a driver on HP can save 25k weekly, by the 12th month, he has saved 1.2m and has paid out almost 1.7m. If he decides to pay 900k to the car owner from his yearly savings, how many months do you think is left for him to complete the balance?

Don't forget the month of December.... Don't forget.

I understand that it is impossible to some drivers, but HP is very achievable if all conditions are met, especially focus and determination.

If you make 15k daily on weekdays, and 50k combined on weekends that's already 125k.

Someone like me will dust this HP but I agree that everyone doesn't have, not share my mindset.

Facts only

Bros this is fake news, in dru voice.

Fahrenz:
Uber for January. Some days I didn't even drive.

Fahrenz:
Total net for uber = 424,802

Total made on uber and taxify for 8 weeks = 547227 + 424802 = 972,000

If I add offlines, it will climb to 1.1m but I won't.

972000 divided by 8 weeks is 121, 500 per week.

If I add offline it's 137,500 per week.

If you doubt me, I will wait till the end of March and then I will post for that 8 weeks again.

Now, where is my 15k?

pooozeee:
My spirit does not work with taxify, just uber alone is what I do

pooozeee:
7 trips
10 hours
Earning : 5k

This is what happens if uber denies you of setting destination trips, usually I make 17k on Mondays alone

Chelseafan1:
Wow....Let me see

Snoobor:
Pls I have 3 requests... I just bought a 2008 Range Rover Sport Supercharged and I need the following stuffs... kindly let me know the price pls and how I can get them delivered to Ibadan, Oyo State.

1) Engine Oil

2) Gear Oil

3) I want to fix reverse camera and DVD head rest in the interior of my 2008 Range Rover, what's the cost?

Thanks & I hope to read from you soon.

kingreign:
You were misled. The 4matic option has more components and their shocks are more expensive than the traditional RWD.

That said, complete engine of M112 2.6 is no more than 120k toks, but complete M271 engine is 250k or more.

The shocks of C240 RWD is actually cheaper than C230 kompressor sports cos the C240 is luxury while the C230k sports is a sports tuned.

The brake rotors on C240 are cheaper than those bigger heavier cross drilled and ventilated brake rotors found in C230k sports.

Bumpers on the C230k sports are similar to AMGs and are expensive to get, so are the exhausts.

Tyres on C230k sports are staggered setup 17" but the C240 are 16" non staggered. The C230k sports set up are more expensive.

Do I go on?

kingreign:
C230k parts are more expensive. Engine is more expensive, bumper of C230k sports is more expensive. Shocks are more expensive too.

No dey talk wetin you no sabi.

zevous:
Oga at Top and other car gurus.. I'm planning on an upgrade and my mind is going towards the Benz C230 kompressor 2005.. Please is it a good and reliable car? What's your outlook on maintenance and part availability?
