Mehn each time you talk about dz your elantras, I'm always tempted to buy one, it's actually finer and cheaper than Corolla. But make I no lie, I dey fear for the unknown. The corolla toks I bought in Jan at 190k miles still hasn't cost me anything other than oil change.
Well my experience with the car has been 50/50 .. Meaning at the start we kept changing parts.. Old management keep complaining.. So I don't know if they were buying the wrong parts o ... I don't know... but also keep in mind with cars.. The best cars out there is not bullet proof o.. Just because it is a corolla does not mean you should abuse the car... and most times it boils down to the driver.. If you take care of the car, the car will take care of you.. Use the correct parts for the car and follow the maintance a schedule.. And if you can find a mechanic that is an expert on kia cars, it will help you in the long run .. The A/C system of the elantra is top notch o , never had any issue at all .. I will still stick to the car, I have no regrets at all.. I also notice that in Lagos for every 5 corolla on the road, you will see three elantras, I was shocked o.. Even in the states now elantra is getting expensive to buy o . For now I will hold on till I see better deals .... The bottom line is I have no regrets at all, even gazzuz is now becoming an elantra fan.. The engine bay of the car is very spacious, easy for mechanic to work on.

Lol, this one is actually a good guy. He pampers my car like a baby. I really hope they unblock him soon.
That is good o.. I have one good driver too. Very good he has been driving my very first uber car for about two months now. And he has done a good job maintaining the car.. my team is about to surprise him with tok limited elantra fully loaded.. It pays to be good at times... this was our inspection few days ago
And this car is 10months on the platform, going to be a year in June 24th. I got the tok at 200k miles ,elantras are very strong cars engine wise. By May ending I will start using castrol full synethic oil imported from USA. Hope to get some more miles out of the car..

One of my drivers has been blocked for over a week now because of this. It's bad enough that he orders himself through other people's app, he then start and end the trip on the same spot without moving an inch. I had warned him numerous times to at least move 1km before ending the trip. Now my guy Don drop car and he's out of job. Talk about being smart.
Don't mind the driver jor.. "Na their way most of them" ,make I correct that statement before nairaland drivers attack me.. It has been peaceful for weeks now.. "Na their way some of them''

Therr is nothing like Mobil 1 5w40 but I will advise that you check the oil filler cap and then you will see Castrol written on it and your manual will tell you more.

Maybe there is a conspiracy theory. If the car you sold said use 0w-20 in the car manual, the same manual you supplied when you sell the car and you are doing something else, well they need to do some enlightenment.

Except their mechanic and technician are living in the past in their past glories or they are intentionally doing it for profit purposes.
The bottom line whether to use certain type of oil or not to.. We need to follow the manufacture reccomdation. The engine specific should either be in the car manual or on the oil cap.
The issue in Nigeria now just like everything else. How do you get the original oil to use ,and how do avoid buying fake or alter oil. You just have to do your research and look for people that import the original stuff. Buy from them and if you can buy extra and keep aside.. That is if you afford to do it.. But if you can afford to buy a 2m naira and above, should be able to buy the best oil for ur car

Good day guys...

i will be writing this article in my own words raw from my researched books.

Am in love with Transportation business so much that have tried all kinds of transport Business that is accessible (e.g) just road lol, yeah have done different road transport; cars: uber, bus: danfo, trucks :carrying load from mile 12 to ajah, space bus (sienna my favorite) for travelling from Lagos to Ibadan, Lagos to Koji (ankpa) NIGERIA TO ACCRA/IVORY COAST...

Yes i said Sienna is my favorite, most people would choose Uber cause its internal and you are not going too far from life/family so its better, low risk and all... But i will say Big lie you drive round the state (Lagos or Abuja) for hours everyday manage to make 100k - 120k per week fix ware and tears, recharge for data and voice calls, buy drugs, feed and give your family, parents, siblings or even girlfriend money how much go remain? fear all passengers cause you dont know who is thief or a killer, even as the car owner you suffer from lazy, troublesome and complaining drivers... some times i don't even blame this drivers cause they have target; and conditions on the road (bad road, traffic) or UBER and Taxify wahala may even make them not meet the target so they are left with no choice but to complain.. and as a car owner you take 25- 40k per week... remember car servicing and other expenses... so cause of all these and more i say no to UBER,TAXIFY and co i choose SIENNA...

Sienna is my best bet.... mind you ( i mean sienna on the ECOWAS corridors) some people do Sienna around inter state have done it before.... omo mehn naija roads are too bad. travelling around the ECOWAS corridors back in 2009 - 2013 was a lil bit difficult reasons are cause some countries like Benin and Togo were doing serious road construction so it was a pain in the ass accessing those routes... also conversion rate was low so the fares was really cheap.

now its way better cause the roads have been completed the exchange rate is high now so the fares are up too and this countries are becoming popular to traders, Students and tourist so you get enough passengers and make good money that is if you are not too greedy...

moving on i choose to use sienna on this route cause i get 7 passengers paying me 16k each. Minus fuel and boarder clearance i can do my weekly remittance after 2 trips with no wahala.. i mean travel to Ghana 2wice a week i have 5days to rest, Nigeria to Ghana is like 8-9hrs. No UBER commission wahala, No Ago palace bad road destroying your exhaust pipe no driving midnight and sleeping on steering cause you want to meet a target... no ye ye complains cause Tuesday reach and you no meetup...

As car owner u can request for up to 50k per week or 200k per month

Am not saying there is no risk but am saying your ROI is on point.

some people are scared about
1. ahh my car will be going out of Nigeria how am i sure if the driver will return it for me or just go without coming back..
2. Ahhh Acident nkor if it happens outside Nigeria.
3. what if costom in other country arrest it for contraban
4. how do i comfirm where the car is etc

when people ask me these questions i feel like shocked seriously are you for real? what in this life happen to Insurance? do you know insurance companies like Zenith insurance and even Mansard can track your car even outside naija? as long as u are safe to put your car on uber and give it to a driver that can even travel to ibadan offline with out your notice, the same for this driver that travels to Ghana.... you are 100% guaranteed.....

like a very good internet marketer will say and i quote [b]ITS RISKY TO BE RICH AND ITS RISKY TO BE POOR SO CHOOSE YOUR RISK[/b]every businesses has their own risk i will say if this risk is bringing in more ROI take it.

am open for questions and insight on this business if you want me to handle a car for you hit me up... i have a business plan written down already i can send it to you if you need it.

thanks expecting to hear from you. 08166591374
