Got it for 1.7

2005
2.4ltr 5cyl engine
Automatic

Sundays and Saturdays I average 12.6 to 12.9per 100km Weekdays it jumps to between 12.9 to 13.4 depends on traffic and ESPECIALLY how aggressively you drive.
The car is a beast performance-wise, top speed 260, I've tried to 170.
comfort is top notch, better seats with lumber support (10 way adjustable memory seats)
6 cd changer, 8-speaker system, MADD Sound. And it's still not full options o, mine is missing dvd, 12 speaker premium sound system and 17 inch wheels.
I remember taking these two guys to river valley, they were into music, oh lord, they too gbadun the sound, dude kept commenting and commending.

Even the base trim comes with a kind of hybrid mixture of leather and fabric seat and solid sound system too

The effect on riders is something else. First off, the rider just assumes the car is mine so the attitude is different. Then they like that it's a different car from the usual then the premium feel of it. Definitely there are some that still give an attitude but, that's negligible.
I particularly enjoy watching people go to the corolla first before realising they're at the wrong car. Sometimes I'm right in front of them but they'll still be looking for me.

In my my search for a car then, this was how I ranked them and if I'm to do it all again this is how it stands.
S40
C180
VW Jetta
Honda Civic/Mazda 3
I'll take the car everyday of the week and twice on Sundays

Wow... You've really done a great job. I love Volvo also, especially interior V50 2010 model. Are their reasonable mechanics that can handle it when repairs come knocking, how affordable are the spare parts, lastly if I may ask, is it foreign used/Nigerian use...

I'll love to read comments from anyone who use Volkswagen &Audi

Felicity0001:
Bros I talk of that period when lekki ikoyi toll was still active...

Besides to cal that bolt commission is diffult because before you're able to do you don complete 10trips... Back tracking is difficult most time couple with their bonus and all that. I just ignore and stay focus to my earning at hand and in acct jor.


Inbtw, Fashola is planning on introducing tolls in Nigeria roads again... This A*C government self, like what is their problem fa!??

Bro... I so much like your disposition about issues. It seems we both have convergent views about critical issues so I'm always eager to read your comment. You implore Logic/reasoning at all times. Now here is my question... Is Net dashboard earnings the real/physical cash in your pocket?Yes or No. If answer No, so what the fuss and worry about Earnings. It sucks....

I taya o. Na money wey follow you enter house at end of the day be your earnings. Thats just reality. Well done my brother

Seychelles no good reach Nigeria o, they may have higher GDP ratio but does not spread evenly due to corruption.

Nigeria is better than all those countries listed

Come, all of una wey wan' Japa
e. Make una listen to this guy. Moreover, Seychelles dey expensive dieeeeee!!!... My elder bro visited there, met some Nigerians who are doing "bouncers",jobs are not easily available. The population is small but thrives on tourism. The only way wey fit pay anyone na to go there with money, with mindset of setting up a bizness.

Kuriosmynd:
The guy is speaking bad grammar.
.
I guess he wanted to say ''first class students 'and' second class upper". There no need using "with" ....The gramar really fucvked with my head cos it's odd

Infact, I was puzzled when I read people comments...What really happened to our comprehension skills? Which one is "First Class student with a Second class upper certificate"...is either you are a first class graduate or not.... There's nothing like First Class student with second class upper certificate... Is either you're there or not, that's why they are called "graduate class(es) "


I quite understood the context of his headline, meaning for students on the verge, 5.9 or those who dropped from 6.0 to 5.9...but in all, you're still not in that category..lmao... If you get am, you get am. No be "I for get am" or lame excuse "the lecturer doesn't like me"

Ògá GAZZUZZ, please Where is your workshop located in Lagos?

mikefem58:
Happy weekend to my fellow Toyota Users, sometime ago I posted about how a friend knocked my engine and I had to change the engine.

I wanted to buy another engine but was scared of being scammed at Ladipo or by roadside mechanics.

All thanks to GAZZUZZ who posted 2AZ engines for sale with free installation, I jumped on it as fast as I can and got my car towed by AA Rescue from my house in Ajah to GAZZUZZ workshop.

In less than 4 hours I got my engine replaced, my car came back to life, faster, sharper and swifter than before.

All thanks to Gazzuzz.

I recommend him anyday anytime.

Please kindly give detailed description of GAZZUZZ workshop?

Honestly, CBN is indeed into voodoo economics; applying a magic wand at any problem, hoping for the “ waaa laaa” moment.

Most of the importers/traders at Orile, Alaba, Ladipo, Balogun access USD from the street BDC to cover import costs.

The banks have made Form Q difficult and the waiting time now is over 90 days and counting. One is never sure when the bank will debit Naira account and credit overseas supplier with USD. This makes the whole form Q route very inconvenient for importers.

Providing Exchange control documents ( customs documents including PAAR & Form M) covering every usd purchased through the bank is also not making this route easy for traders. Some result to using newly registered to access usd via form Q. Banks are aware of this, so form Q access made more stringent.

My Question;

Why can I take my Naira or Naira in my account to the cashier and ask my bank to send dollar to oversea body without much protocol? And expecting the cashier to do it immediately and give me a print out. Just the way it’s done in other countries.

Yes. It can be done. But the problem is, for what purpose are you seeking FX? The purpose matters... If not, local production will be affected

Sunrise258:
That's a huge waste of money. I got mine in 2019 and has been useless till now! I've never gotten anything to do with it. Go for Bosiet or Crane operator instead. 400k for HSE 1,2,3 is waste of money.

How can one learn to operate a Crane

Angelfrost:
The era of "Damsel In Distress" perished or ended at the turn of this millennium... Any guy still standing surety or forming Knight in shining armor is beyond daft, and I will neither counsel nor pity such a person who has chosen to be unfortunate.

Enough said...

Hahahahaha.... I read your comment... I almost rolled off from my bed... So guyz wey still dey form Knight still dey? Lmao

But the guy fvck up no be small. Slowomir and him goons suppose treat him fvck up...

This case simple now. But before I proffer solution or advice as the case may be. What you've done, is one of the foolish thing ever on earth - No jokes.. Just being straight with you.

So now, na police matter be this... Have it at back of your mind you may likely forfeit about %40-%50 of the money, due to nature of our Police service. Go file a report, officially (not you now) your finance house and process to flag her account begins... Na simple matter but u go spend money

250k per month excluding ______

Says who? People wey enter with BSc ain't receiving this figure of yours

dingbang:
So by 60, your kids will be entering uni? By that that you will be retired and not capable to support them in university.

What assurance(s) does guarantee you'll live up to 60years....R.I.P Sound sultan

PrideofLincoln2:
Buy a Truck or as you call it in Nigeria, Jeep. The condition of roads in Nigeria are pathetic.

Gbam!!! Go for F150 or Ranger

Pearl1910:
The wallet I meant is your Balance Account
U recharge your balance with them as you recharge your phone. no credit, no calls. So no balance, no trips. Since they don't have card payments they need you to recharge your balance account for them to debit their commission from there.
Now commission is debited as soon as u contest for a trip and rider picks u. If trip is cancelled, that commission that has already been debited from your Balance goes to the Refunds Account. U see it in your dashboard but can't use it until a month after that trip before it is refunded back to your balance account. So u can load your Balance Account with 2k pick 10 trips and either you or passenger cancels and your balance is exhausted before u even earn anything.

Oh..I see...quite explanatory enough. Thanks

Blackbishop:
Bro why will I buy Corolla when civic or other cheap cars can do it. That is a Businessman Mindset.

People going for corolla at this stage are either ignorant or brainwashed into believing that is the only tool.

Which other brand/model of vehicles would you recommend bro?

bamigboye27:
If you're talking about the amount made please specify if it's net or gross, because I see you're so pained by those figures.

Mind you, if you vibrate from now till tomorrow, drivers will still never remit more than what's stipulated in the contracts. Presently, 25k is the average weekly remittance, some go as high as 30k with other conditions attached. Right now, I bet you, the only reason a driver would take your car at 40k weekly delivery is desperation and [b]you'll see it on your car after a month or two. [/b]Nobody will do 40k or 50k weekly, if you want it review your agreement with your Driver or start driving yourself because it's obvious all you were told was there's money in ehailing and went and buy corolla, only to start monitoring dashboards here.
If I rent your car for 70k and I make 400k, what you'll get is your 70k the rest is none of your business. So please stop littering the thread with your pain. If you really want 120k per week, hit the streets. From jakande to vgc surge starts around 6 to 6.30 am everyday. You can as well go around Lagos island, surge is constant there work 6am to 11pm, you can make 100k in a day or even more.

Not only his car...the drivers health would surely be in a terrible state

Pearl1910:
Do u use the App?

Rarely.... But loads of drivers claim their "scammers".... So I really wan to know truly..so perhaps I feel its in this aspect of " refund"

izzou:
[color=royalblue]This is the broke goat that scammed you.

He's aspiring to become an upcoming musician/noisemaker

Do with this details whatever you will
[/color]

Yeah... he is into music.

Pearl1910:
After 30days of the said trip the amount will go back to your wallet...but meanwhile it will be showing under refunds.

Thanks...but I sill do not understand your explanation. Does it mean the "refund" would be deducted from the "balance" or vice versa... However which "wallet" are you referring to?

Pearl1910:
Good morning Guys,

The cases of fraud from Riders to Drivers is on the rise.
If u suspect a Gboy or Runs girl or anybody, ensure you get your alert before u let Rider go.
That's what I do if fare is above 1k.
Nobody goes to buy something from a stranger and does transfer and leaves without seller getting alert and confirming payment.

Also, post all the phone numbers of Riders that have scammed u, (the ones that haven't paid yet as we read this post) let's all save these numbers and have a directory so we can avoid or know how to deal with them in the future when our paths cross.

What they do now is after Bolt/Uber blocks their account, they use a friend's number to open another account and continue their atrocities. But one thing is when they request, they still call u with their number first because the number on the App isn't theirs.

God will continue to keep us from temptations

Please o... This guy named John with mobile number :09079792713 is yet to pay me my 2k o. I took him from one flooded street called "baale street" on a rainy Sunday in lekki to Osapa London to attend a party (probably I'm not sure) on 27th June ...At drop off, He called couple of his friends, who are yet to arrive at scene/set destination to make a transfer on his behalf and they did not. He felt embarrassed, he begged to make transfer before the day runs out. It was already getting late for me as well and I couldn't wait to follow him drag. He promised heaven and earth to Make tranfer, I took his words because he looked more like a Game boy, well dressed, poised and all that. But till date he is yet to pay... He don blacklist my number sef....

Abeg make una helep me o....

eyinola:
ì updated mine this morning and this dey enter wella .. the only changes i hv noticed is this rating

I was about updating this bolt app early hours this morning, but out of ingenuity something tells me to read the reviews on play store... Mehn!!! First 30 comments were full of complain...i just skipped jejely

Pearl1910:
I don't know what they have done oooo. But since I updated it, 2hrs and I haven't got a trip and I am in the middle of surge in Yaba...very unusual.

I avoided it but it kept coming.
I have sent them a message sha.

I don switch to Uber and Indriver for now

Please.. I do not understand what Indriver "refund" mean? Does it mean I'm going to refund the amount stated or they are to refund after 30 days...

This is just a twist to the narrative...

Godwin Emefiele, Cbn Governor is an Accountant while Former Governors of Cbn Charles Soludo, Lamido Sanusi are both Economist. During the tenure of the latter, they came about with robust policies which made our economy better, but who we have at affairs of CBN now is just an accountant saddled with responsibility of only collating figures. This says a whole lot about the difference in application of the two courses.

If I'm offered both choices, I'll opt to study Economics over Accountancy

Please which Volvo model would you recommend for e-hailing (uber) business in Lagos?

Please can I top up Oil of my Camry 2005 with Hard ex Gold SAE 5W-30 (fully synthetic) before making a complete Oil change which is will be in 3rd week of July. The initial oil that was used (in
month of may) that gets burnt easily is Mobil 5w-20.

Try to see a paediatric neurologist to check him. If it is a problem, he wi tel you what to do. Wish you well.

Wow... Really, I do not think the Parents of lil' boy can afford the services of a Paediatric Neurologist ó, but for Educational purposes and out of curiosity, I'll try and do so, though I might not get to see someone specialize in that Field easily but hopefully get to see a Paediatric. Thanks

GAZZUZZ:
Sadly with that 5speed transmission you have very few options.

Change oil and filter and hope for the best

Thanks... Hoping to give you a feedback when this is done. Please, which other Oil can you recommend aside the manufacturers Oil which is damn expensive this time around.

Help! Help!! Help...My 2005 Toyota Camry "big daddy " revs up to 2000rpm, when transmitting between Gear 1 and 2. It happens when the engine has worked for so long, hot and mostly in afternoon. It now has over 187000 reading on odometer. It was bought in 2019 tokunbo.

"Kazeem" suggested we should change the transmission/gear Oil with Gear filter....

Could "kazeem" be right?

PROPEACE:
Asides drooling, does the baby sit, crawl, walk and speak? Were these milestones met at the right time?

Yes, he can speak, walk(he no longer crawls). I just picked up interest in him,because I knew when they gave birth to him and he has been drooling from the get go. So that got me interested in monitoring his growth pattern. Initially I thought it was signs of Autism or down syndrome...but he now talks by calling names(though not clearly) of few people close to him. But his mouth is always open at anytime (T), with saliva dripping.
