Good evening people, I hope you are doing great. There is this pal of mine in the office that we usually discuss getting vehicle on HP to do Uber. For so long, none of us has been lucky. The country hard small, dealers no even reason our matter at all as soon as we mention HP.

But my friend just got a deal, someone who related to him somehow according to what he told me, who sell cars in Osogbo has agreed to give him a [b]Honda Accord 2013 [/b]4 cylinders on HP, he has paid the initial 1 million requested and I got to know cos he asked me to sign a guarantors form.

Now, my question is, how suitable is a 2013 Honda Accord for the business?

Mind you he is a Civil Servant that earns around 139k and he said the car will serve him as personal car and for hailing.

He said the man has two of the cars and if I am willing he will put in words for me and I can kickstart process of picking the other.

Please guys, your opinion. Thanks

See the pic of what a 2013 Accord 4 cylinder looks like.

E sure me say.. Over 60% of us here, have engine shortening of oil issue.

When I started uber newly, I went for oil change at 2700miles. They checked the dip stick and there was no single oil on it. I double checked and the stick never got to the level of the remaining oil in my car.
When they drained the oil, what came out was just about 1 litter of oil. If you drive a camry with the 2az engine, oil shortage is normal. Factory defect things.

I've been topping with 1 litre of oil every 1k miles since then (2019) till now. It have even gotten to 1litre every 800miles. Yet the car doesn't smoke nor have sludge. It fires pretty well. I've traveled to East 4times with the car even with this issue. 2times this year.

The only major problem my car is having is shorting of oil, but if you hear the sound, you would think it's a toks car. Na body go fit tell you say the car don teey for naija.

So mama Raduatoworks, if actually there's a way, you've got a lot of us here seeking for it.

I have written articles on types/ categories of foreign used tyres so that most people can understand what they are buying. I get many messages bulk of which comes from customers who asks for prices. Most of them think my price is an overkill, afterall is it not tokunbor? Yes, I deal on foreign used tyres aka toks but Sir/ma, this are not your regular toks tyres. If what you want is the regular toks tyres that you might end up changing after 3 months, then maybe you shouldn't bother contacting me. If you're used to getting good quality new tyres and you want something affordable, atleast that won't put a hole in your pocket and will as well give you the value or close to the value you get from the new tyres then this tyres are for you. Reason is because this are the highest grade of toks tyres you can get anywhere in this country. If you're used to buying low quality new tyres that don't really last long and you want a cheaper option that will give you a better value then this is the type of tyres you should get. These are not bundle tyres, Manufacture dates are not falsified, tyres are sold as they come and are carefully selected hence their prices, the only thing I do is to wash if it looks very dirty. I've had to change suppliers multiple times cos as one progress in a particular trade you gather experience which must be used in improving the service being rendered. I have made many sales on this forum and even when I would have loved those customers to drop a review, I can't compel them. I'm sure if they're aren't getting what they payed for, this page would have been littered with negative reviews. I've dealt with many customers in other states who don't even know what I look like, but were happy to deal with him because I believe my customer happiness should be priortised always. My goal is to make prices as affordable as it can get but if it means compromising quality then it is better we don't deal at all as I've learnt cheap and quality does not always go hand in hand.

Tint needs a different expertise to drive oh... Especially at night.

Mist drivers usually have accident cause of the tint in their car.

So if You know you can't drive without a tint bros just continue using ur car like that. But the thing gives prestige shal

Buy quality tyres and travel to sokoto

davit, let me tell you why some people order ahead. Sometimes it can take up to 20-30 minutes for a driver to arrive and you have no idea before you book what it will be.

E.g. in the US it usually takes 2-7 minutes to get a ride so I usually book about 5 minutes before I think I'll be ready. When I went to Italy, I did the same and had to wait almost 40 minutes past midnight for a ride!! From then, the whole trip I would order 15-30 minutes before I was ready. I suspect that is what is happening. Some people (especially ladies) are anticipating waiting a long time in an undesirable place and taking measures to avoid that.

We understand the Nigerian economy isn't smiling at the moment and you're in dire need of tyres for your vehicle. Don't worry, this tokunbor tyres will do the job.
Tyres are carefully selected.
Recent manufactured dates.
Mostly grade A.
Tyres will take you from Lagos to Bauchi and back with peace of mind.

pope191:
Can't really tell much about today's traffic, except for my last trip vi to berger spend like 3 hrs and I took the trip for 4500. Both of us have been dragging the price from 3200 for like 1 hr. I don't know why riders do that, they will b on one particular price for minutes/hr.

It’s raining and there is no surge in Lekki phase 1 , I’d rather stay put than drive through those Lekki lagoons for stipends.
Meanwhile make I drop this gist here

Yesterday I started the hustle (I started very late though) with a resolution that no matter how tempting an order to mainland is I wouldn’t take it, in the process and amidst other blacklisted destinations my cancellation rate shoot up to 65%. Then I said to myself I have to stop canceling orders now

Few minutes later a request came in, not far from where I parked. Destination Lekki phase1, pick up Cmart admiralty way.

Just before heading to pick up, I called rider I’m outside already (don’t want her delaying me for long for a ride of #500) she said she’ll join me in a minute. Drove down to pick up, still no sign of rider. 5 minutes later I called again,
Rider: I’m checking out now I’ll be with you shortly (I was already fuming but I been no wan spoil my gentleman, so I kept it cool)

10 minutes later I called again
Rider: I don’t know why this guy is this slow, but I’m next on the queue, will be out soon
5 minutes later still no sign of rider

A thought of zooming off in anger crossed my mind, but then I thought would she really understand the gravity of what she did if I zoomed off? So I made sure my doors was on lock and waited till this daughter of eve came out

Some minutes later, Saw her through my rare mirror checking out my plate for confirmation, then she proceeded to open the back door but oops! It’s locked
Came a little forward to the passenger side window to knock, I looked at her with a smiling face and wind down a bit. These were my exact words to her
‘’Oh! You’re finally out (she said sorry bla bla bla....please your door is locked) you see that wait wey you been no wan wait, you go wait am. You wasted my time but it’s fine (she said but I’ve apologized now) It will just be nice to give you a doze of your own medicine’’
Put my gear in reverse and screed off ( saw her standing with her shopping bags, looking at the car in awe through my side mirror)

One of the best physical manifestations I ever had and still experiencing. A 21-year old PR V6 powered Stick-shift Lion, with about 250,000-300,000 km mileage with original Engine & Gearbox , running on Total Quartz 9000 5w-40, without oil burn and cylinder compressions still almost factory psi, with only 3 Timing & Auxiliary belts replacements . The Engine is so intact that gear 3 pushes upto 160km/h, effortlessly. This is the same Peugeot model majority of Nigerians condemned as electrical nightmares as they start ageing, yet the lion only have cause to be scanned on average of once in 6 months or once a year, most times. It's been years I recalled opening the fuse box covers, just to blow off dust, if any found.

Don't expect to run 20w-50 oil on a healthy PR engine and expect the Engine to serve you as mine, as old as he is (and that includes every other petrol engines in 406). Even 15w-50 makes these PR Engines very noisy & the VVT solenoids and VTC sprockets to sound like diesel engines. For a long lasting or a healthy PR Engine to stay that way like mine for decades as mileage increases, avoid abusing Lions. Choose otherwise and be ok with the outcome. Or you can go online and blame Peugeot and complain like the rest do.

I love mine dearly.
