4. Toyota Hiace Bus:
Owning to the fact that most Intercity transit buses are getting very bad and out dated I will suggest both new and older models of Hiace buses. Pictures would speak better here. This bus is super reliable, the only issue with most Hiace buses are it's cooling system, the AC for those going for long distances road transports business. The moment it's start any issue, be ready to keep spending almost every month. But if you can do without the AC, I bet you're in for sweet experience with Toyota Hiace. This bus is also very excellent for school bus, staff bus or association bus.

Go for Corolla 010 down for best experience in your new venture.

Toyota Corolla:
Hmmn, this car is one of the top most reliable car in Nigeria. I won't say much about this brand of Toyota because it already spoke for itself. This one is good for UBER, Taxify and
intra-city/inter-city private taxi business. You can create relationship with people and build clientele base for your business. But it's best you get tokunbor or very sound registered one for your business.

3. The Volkswagen Sharan First Generation.(1995-2010): the name Sharan is a Persian word meaning "Carrier of Kings". VW Sharan is a joint technology between Volkswagen and Ford motors. It was designed to give smooth drives and capability to convey more passengers. This car is very good for Nigerian roads and market owning o the fact that it's very strong, cheaper spare parts, excellent fuel economy, very durable engine and manual transmission, easy to drive, etc.
You will enjoy it Models with manual transmissions very well. The auto transmission models are also excellent if you can take good care of it and avoid hitting it on bumps too often.

TGM2015:
Oga, you no talk about other cars now. Anyway, you use the clause "with us here in Lagos", where are you located?

Abule Egba Lagos.

OROSUNBOLB:

prettymaxy:
Pls how much is the VW sharan tokunbo?
And how good is it for supply biz in Lagos?

For supplies biz in Lagos I will advise you go for VW Transporter. Check the thread again and you will see number model
This one below. It's a very good one for supplies, more than enough space, The same price range with tokunbor VW Sharan. We have four of this currently with us for sales. Drop your contact for pics and inspections and more.

DaCharis2016:
OP this one you only talked about sienna. Hope you didn't just come and advertised your products?

Anyway, I'm thinking on getting a 2000 Volkswagen Sharan, 2003-up Honda Civic or Camry 2002/2003 models.

Kindly share your experience.

NB: My budget is just N500k.
And either e-hailing or normal cab.

Thanks.

Sorry for the delays in adding more cars/buses. I wanted us to talk very well on number one first before proceeding to the next. But since I see we are ok with all the list at once I will post them. Check the thread, I have posted number 2 bus/car you can buy.

Plz go for VW Sharan. Registered good car for those models you're aiming for is from 800k up, unless you are ready to fix somethings on the car after purchase.

SimDan95:
please enlighten me about best cars for uber, is corrolla better or Camry.

Toyota Corolla 010

TGM2015:
Oga, you no talk about other cars now. Anyway, you use the clause "with us here in Lagos", where are you located?

We are in Lagos. Motorways Mazel.

The Caravelle, Multivan Models: with windows all round; 3 rows of seats, this is perfect for passengers transportation. You can use this for cargo logistics also by removing all the seats. For conveying people, this bus has the capability to carry minimum 12 passengers.

The Kombi or Half-Panel Model: This one can convey more passengers because it's with additional windows between the b and c-pillars; 2 rows of seats. It's also good for logistics especially when more people will have to accompany the goods being transported.

The Panel Van: this model is good for logistics/haulage business. It is a model without any windows behind the b-pillar; single row of seats. No seats and no windows behind the driver's row. You can use it for your personal business or for hires or for logistics business.

Apologies for delays on more cars and buses, I was actually waiting for us to discuss the number 1 very well before we go into number 2.

NOTE: this is for people who are new or are venturing into transports business for first time, and we know you need to start small with accurate knowledge. Meanwhile it doesn't rules out that the experienced transports business men/women can't benefit from this thread.

Hence:

2. Volkswagen Transporter T4, 1998-2003

Yes, the number two car you can get is this Volkswagen Transporter. If you know danfo bus in Lagos and how rugged this bus is you will attest to it that if you can lay hands on one of those models of VW transporter you would be glad you made right choice. At Motorways mazel we can help you import tokunbor ones from the USA at very cheap price because the tokunbor and registered model of this car is very costly in Nigeria market. We can also help you sought for very clean registered one.
VW transporter is very versatile and strong, very balance at top speed, infact I'm always feeling on top the world whenever I'm driving any the models of VW transporter.
Let's take a look at various Models of Volkswagen Transporter in the pictures below:

Ebi4life:
like how much can I get Tokunbo picnic?

Sorry for delayed response. Tokunbor picnic with us N1,850,000 (N1.85m) for manual transmission. But 2.2m for Automatic transmission.

Ebi4life:
How about Toyota picnic

For better performance, durability, strength, larger space, longer distance, better second hand value, etc, go for Toyota Sienna.
Picnic is another good car for transportation business if that's what you like, it's still a good choice.

To buy a Toyota picnic, my advice is: go for the tokunbor ones.

If you're considering buying a car as young man who wants to also use his ride for side hustle, consider that Sienna 1998.

Toyota Sienna, Model 1998-2003

1. Toyota Sienna 1998 to 2003.
This car is good for you if you are aiming for Intercity and intra-city and inter-state transport business, that is, you intend to use it within a city moving passengers from one end of the city to another extreme end of the same city, an example is from Epe to Abule Egba in Lagos. You can also use it to move from one State to another, an example is from Lagos to Ijebu Ode or to Ilorin, or from Owerri to Ibadan, etc.

Why is Toyota Sienna a very good option?
1. It's fuel economy is superb. This car de economize fuel like craze.
2. It's legs are very strong for Nigerian roads. The suspension of this Sienna is very rugged and it shock absorbers can withstand considerable amount of weight.
3. It spare parts are easily accessible anywhere in Nigeria.
4. Toyota Sienna 1998 to 2003 is easier to diagnose and fix for majority mechanics in Nigeria because Toyota design this car for simplest repair experience.
5. The spare parts of Toyota Sienna 1998-03 is very cheap compared it's counterparts. From Engine to shocks to disc to transmission, etc are very affordable.
6. The ride experience in Toyota Sienna 1998-03 is comfortable and very balance in terms of top speed stability.
7. The Sienna is designed very rugged for all weather in rain or in shine season.

8. It's very spacious for it size. Sienna has capacity to seat minimum 8 passengers and also offers go ample space for luggages.

9. Sienna can be used for carrying loads instead of people. You can use it for supplies to super stores, carry all manners of stuffs fully loaded both in it interior and on it roof. All have you to do is to remove the seats from second row to the booth.

The point is that you won't regret buying this car if you do thorough inspection before buying one, whether tokunbor or registered one.

The price of tokunbor one with working AC is N1.3m with us here in Lagos and that of the registered one is N850k with us here in Lagos.

If you maintain your Toyota sienna 1998-03 very well and manage the business well it has the capability of earning minimum N200k per month. That's the salary of a senior civil servant in Nigeria.

It is very important these days, in this very unstable Nigerian economy to have more than one source of income. Transport business is one of the business ideas second to food for daily income to flow into your account. Most of us just pack our cars for days, even months and nothing is coming in from the car in terms of money. I believe this thread would be an eye opener for us all.

Plz fee free to post your idea or opinion and let's learn from one another. No person knows it all.

And please let's not insult anyone, the seemingly foolish opinion may contain keys to success, plzzzzz.

For the beginners or the aspiring road transportation business entrepreneurs, it is better to be well informed on best choice of car to buy for the type transport business you want to go into in Nigeria. You know as the saying goes in Nigeria, 'omo shine ur eye'. Don't buy any car that would make you regret your investment.

I will post for I list of cars, SUV or Bus to buy depending on the type of transport business you are aiming to do.

Let's keep going...
