Well we all have opinions that we are all entitled to. The opinions below are from a technician's point of view.

The bad impression about Nigerian used cars come from the fact that many of us don't follow strict manufacture's recommendations when maintaining our cars. Ideally, if every maintenance schedule is strictly adhered to, a used car is a used car, whether foreign used or local used, it shouldn't matter; but then that is an ideal situation. I know quite a few customer's cars that I can buy without batting an eyelid if they put them up for sale.

On the flip side, foreigners do cut corners too. I've had to go on vehicle inspection for a client who wanted to do Uber. We inspected total of 6 Tokunbo Corollas that day. I couldn't pass any of them. Now, someone will buy one of those and advertise it as toks, and now believe its better than a few, well maintained Nigerian used cars.

Just be careful out there when acquiring those cars. Shikena!!!

Tgiirl:
Presently, many drivers are do 30k weekly. Only that some are forced to do 35k weekly cos they think they don't have any other way of survive. But the smart one and more newbies out there are on 30k rentals

Gentlelife50:
Na today u just dey know am, only him here has been singing deposit like a song here. If he must collect deposit good for him and his drivers but he doesn't have to force other people to do same.

Carshopper:

Carshopper:

After telling me thunder will fire me, because I said somebody gave out his car without collecting deposit, now you're quoting my post that doesn't relate to you, i ignore you coz you feel u own n knw it all, upon that somebody ate ur money, you the smart ass.
So if the oil am using ain't Mobil then it's not USA spec.
Just like saying only apple makes the best nd original phone.
Anyway it's a matter of choice, before this oil change I bought the Nigerian made Mobil. 1 and my engine did not explode after 5k miles.
Now I have decided to use Coastal coz it's cheaper and USA product. My choice deal with it.
Quote me again and die.

Stake2odds:

Tgiirl:

Stealth100:

chillex8:
Do they have extended performance 5w20 Mobil1?
Am not sure I can wait till Month end for Dru23 shipment

Stake2odds:
Do you have to insult anybody that goes contrary to your opinion? you are such a bitter person and you think you need make life difficult for your drivers before you do business with them, like i said before i have no idea where my driver lives , yes i have it on record but never verified , he has not defaulted one time and the second driver has done 2 months with same result.

take life easy my brother.

Tgiirl:
I will advise you not to raise it. Your driver just need to caution when climbing bumbs

Tgiirl:
He claims he is in Yankee, so he has no idea, only what is family members tell him from here

Stealth100:
And mostly profitable if you drive yourself.

Tgiirl:
My friend got a clean tok corolla 06 for 30k weekly rentals from a non Nairalander today.

Im his guarantor. And the investor did n't ask for any deposit but good relationship.

Not a dead car, bro.Beside na dead cars owner they request deposit first. ]So t[/b]hat they can fix few things on the car with it.

frugal:
How's your civic performing on the platform? I have a good deal for a 2004 I'm considering. Do drivers/riders even like it?

Crux99:
Pls guys i need ur advise...i have been saving up for sometime now to get a car and start this uber business and i have been able to but my fear now is that i hear the business is no longer as profitable as it use to be...[b]is it possible to still make an average of 150k a month or should i just consider other business like a supermaket.

chillex8:
Even some owners here that collect deposit, give out dead cars.
