But you will not envy them when it is time to replace the hybrid battery but the Prius rarely have issues

Since they are mostly getting the cars brand new, they will have saved more than the cost of hybrid lbattery from the fuel, unlike in Nigeria when the hybrid battery might be on its last month's before being shipped.

Is honda accord really in category B? I think it should be C. Accord, EOD & DC are cheap when compared to the Corolla of same year. A friend of mine bought naija used EOD for 650k and still uses it till date. Drives Ife to Lagos frequently. I think accord should be C, like civic.

Unless I'm not understanding your analogy

radautoworks:
you sef be undercover troll

On a serious note though, I agree one should look for cheap car to maximize returns but in my opinion/experience those cars are cheap up front but expensive down the road (A). The converse is expensive upfront but cheap down the road (B). The perfect car is in the middle C. None is necessarily bad and may suite different people. Personally if I drive for a living I want a B or C (parts availability is never a problem if you hardly ever need them .
Bear in mind I don't know street value of a lot of these in Nigeria so I'm going off street value in the US and through the eyes of mechanics. Adjust perception accordingly. Some of the As might be Ds in Nigeria (expensive upfront AND down the road).

Considerations are ruggedness, fuel efficiency, comfort and cost of spare parts.

A Volkswagen Jetta 1.8L
C Nissan Sentra 2.0L
A Hyundai Accent 1.6L
A Kia Rio 1.6L
C Honda city 1.3L
A Mitsubishi Lancer 1.6L
A Ford Focus 1.6L
A Hyundai xcent 1.3L
B Hyundai Elantra 1.6/2.0L

EDIT: let me add to the list
B Toyota Corolla
C Honda Civic
B Honda Accord
C toyota matrix
C toyota echo
C TOYOTA PRIUS
B Subaru Impreza
C Nissan versa
B/C literally any small Volvo

Will add as I think of more

Machine pass machine bro...... example bro .. Machine made in Japan will tend to last longer than most machine made in the USA or any other competing countries

The bolded, I've asked is there any technical difference or otherwise between US civic and Asian markets? I'm yet to get a definite reply

My your days be blessed bro.

Read up... No one is interested in how he runs his business....

No one gives a hoot whether he is a fleet manager or not.

He comes off with an aura of condescension... the issue I suspect is , the members here won't stroke his ego.. No one has that time.... If he wants people to hail him, his drivers are there.

dlaw281:
Guy thanks alot for ur love...he said 10k for edi...5k for Cbn business plan and 5k for them.


Anybody that have received the agmesis loan please drop your number for clarification I need help with this stuff

The last 5k, for them? For what? You're oaying 10k already to them for training.

Dont pay more than 10k for training, you can pay the 5k for biz plan if u wish but the last 5k is a scam.

dlaw281:
Hi guys please have just be accepted to Start training at my edi can I still go ahead and pay the 20k for training or they have stopped paying people

The training fee is 10k. Dont be duped of additional 10k. You can even opt for an online training.

Yes, you will even get many options. Take your time to go through various car ads here and negotiate.

Good luck and congrats in advance.

PremiumTech:
Dear People,

Merry Christmas and happy New Year in advance.

After about 11 months of saving, I have 1.2 million naira and my intention is to buy a sound Nigerian used car.
Toyota Camry or Corolla to be precise.

I shall appreciate your kind consideration for referrals and advice.

Cheers!

NB: I need it basically for ease of movement for my business.
like submission of proposals, follow up on prospects, site visits and all.

Location is Abuja.

Which among of you is softly making this money?


BTW, he got roasted on Twitter.

OmodavidoX:
Thanks for your response sir

Please do you mean I can get a Uber standard car for 500k sir ?

May be, Naija used 2003-05 honda civic. I will say may be 600-650k to get a clean and not abused one.

I don't want to say this because of some people's perception towards naija used cars; but if I were you, I would patiently look for a very good naija used car and start with that. How long more will it take you to save 2m? And Corolla, which is probably your choice, might have been far costlier than 2m by then. Toks coro are even mostly sold for 2m+ now.

OmodavidoX:
Good evening house,

Please I need on procedure of joining Uber and bolt

Currently have 900k. Hoping to save to 2M and get a good car to kickstart this Uber business

merbenko:
The fact that mail was send to me July 2nd is alright, let me assume I registered on 30th June, but my worries now Is the have not approved my loan yet, always is BVN doesn't exist

Your case is not an exception here. If every other person has been approved and paid, you think this thread wouldnt have died by now? Out of about 5 people I applied for, only 1 has got approved and paid, so chill and be patient.

Horngha:
Pls house, what is the minimum of year of a car but Uber and bolt accept

Bolt; 2003 and above
Uber; 2000 and above. Don't use pencil Camry because of this. Low rating and cancellation from riders will kill your biz.

Advisable you go for a 2003+ car (though some 2002 cars aren't different from 2003, e.g. big daddy)

Good luck.

jpworld:
No one is bullying you, you're actually feeling intimidated by some personality people who drag people are hoodlums, they get angry with success, bc they know success is millions miles away.

You can't even bully me. You can only bully or intimidate your drivers or anyone who accepts to take your shit.
We will continue to call out your arrogance here. This is not about being intimidated or hating anyone, it is about not being patient with the display of nonsense (I dont want to use stupidity)

Gravatar:

Knowing the antecedents and poor reputation of the owner of this so called dealership, anyone planning to buy a car from them should be very careful for the following reasons:

-selling flooded cars while hiding the flooded history

-selling cars with no or fake custom duty

3.-tendency to post all your private information and details online if there are any issues along the line

A word is enough

Legalwealth, I do buy e-currency from you and I've known you for ages, even before you moved into cars, as a business man, watch the number 3 and do rightly.

Learn from amdman, no matter how seriously anyone attacks him about his car sales, he will not post the personal chats he has with that person if that person doesn't give express permission. Such act gives prospective clients trust in you.

merbenko:
madam I applied and email was sent to me on July 2nd

The mail might have been delayed till July 2nd. Many people got mails few days after they applied. But it is a fact that the application ended on 30th June.

Some people need to know that Nairaland is as toxic as Twitter where anyone who misbehavess can be dragged without mercy. If anyone wants to bully or feel like a lord, such should go to instagram where they worship people.

For here, anyone that has a high shoulder and loves to demean people will be dragged like a stubborn generator.

I was joking about 800k. Be calming madam, dont be like JaPa.

radautoworks:
I never expected to see 800k that's why I said someone will win. Now the idiocy of the original statement by jp is dispelled, Highest after expenses wins the 50k

You're always triggered to attack people's personalities that you didn't even take your time to decipher what the young man was trying to say. You're just used to muddy fight. Haba!

jpworld:
1: if you have a good paying job of 200k, apply another job and get something better, for your salary to be 200k you must have a good resume. So getting another job worth more than 200k isn't a problem, yet you stuck with driving uber for the past 3years?

You quit your job and use all your savings to buy a car, another lies, you were actually fired, and ur salary is no near 80k.

Lets analyze this, you have the saving already to buy a car and yes you bought the car, your job is not 7days, 7 nights. You can as well start driving weekends, to support salary.

a man with 200k, should reason as a big boy, not reason as someone they brought from village.

I don't follow the crowd, i know you lying and yourself know that.

Stop all this twist, i was doing something better, i was deceived into doing uber, shey you just arrive Lagos from abakaliki?

samobaba4u:
God will continue to bless you Brother from another mother

Amen, and you and everyone too.

eyinola:
really? I go happy oooooooooooooooooooooooo, my car ac got bad on 24th night couldn't work ever since but got it fixed yesterday shaaaaa so the 50k go make me happy die

Show 800k or nothing

Fair enough. Drivers should take from their Nov/Dec over-flows during Jan/Feb winter.

Oluwabengz:
Any driver that didnt increase the weekly rental he/she pay in December shouldn't expect his/her owner partner to reduce rental in January unless the person no dey fear God

You posted your drivers' profiles clearly showing their names, pictures and earnings. Seems to you, privacy comes to play only when it involves you or DL?

what more data does your DL have from what you've posted about your drivers except perhaps address? Do you even care to know who gets to locate and know your drivers by mere posting their names and pictures here?

I'm not hating you neither is my post about how you run your biz, check my posts, I didnt comment about whether you have cars or a fleet manager, but just respect your drivers and people with contrary opinion to yours.

jpworld:
If you wants to get 1million likes, write against jpworld.

I have never posted my drivers (DL) online, what i post is screen shot of conversation, and their earnings, how do you know the owner of the screen shot, I posted, those information are not sensitive information.

I have posted all my car plate numbers here, what i wont post is my DL and proof of ownership, that is inviting criminals.

I'm treating my drivers bad, but i have 8 drivers that havr worked with me for over 1year 3months, the rest are less than 6months.

There must be something I'm doing to keep them with me for that period.

Stop hating unnecessarily, focus on how to grow your business or save money from what you earn, or change ur lifestyle.

you keep wasting ur time, attacking me, I have done this to you people.

If you're not brutal in transport business, village call will be your next destination.

Zendinho:
That's to say Corona virus flies more during midnight......

It is to systematically discourage people from going to church and stay at home that day. Shutting down churches for cross-over might raise eye brows, knowing how religiously overzealous we are.

Guys, we never know what 2021 will look like in terms of covid ravaged economy as the new corona variants might cause another partial lockdown or restrictions. Let's be mindful of how we do detty December and save for rainy days.

We Triumph Still.

Olayetan:
so if no 1 uploads their earnings, am I the winner?

Dru's 10k or 20k if jp pays, not radautoworks' 50k.

But I think kanuisgoat or someone like that is leading.

It is robbery to increase the charge in November/december just because the drivers earn more in that period but only come back to normal price in January/February period, if weekly charges can't be lowered below normal price in this period also.

But wouldn't want to comment much on how people manage their investments as long as the drivers accept.

radautoworks:
Dru, I respect you because you keep your word but not that is NOT what jp said. Not then, not now, not ever. If he had said what you said above there wouldn't have been as big a backlash. Stop making excuses for him. He has broken every single agreement be has ever made on this forum yet tries to be everyone's police. He is a joke. Please don't put yourself next to him because it diminishes you.

Which reminds me, since we were recently talking about drivers adhering to the contract, is it in the contract that he can arbitrarily change the rental fee at any time if he feels they are making more?

I dont have issue with him owing cars or not, or if he charges his drivers 100k per week, but the condescending manners he treats people and especially his drivers.

This same man can post his drivers' details or anything online; names, pictures, earnings but can't do same about himself. Here is he hiding his details.
Are his drivers less humans? Talk to him to do better please. He should start doing better by treating people and his drivers with dignity.

dru23:
This night Jpworld send me all the evidence that shows he owns all those cars 11 cars ......

The information is too sensitive to post on public forum
And his DL matches the paper work ....

dru23:
We have a winner.. He over win self... I will send in my 10k naira by Friday and Jp will do his own too ..Kindly do yours too ......

I think Radautoworks gave a condition of showing expenses and saving 800k. I dont think she's just giving out cash for highest earner.

I might be wrong.

Na true You talk.
The way he always uses felicity's story mock him anytime they disagree always pains me to the bones.

IFSHR:
He who has ear let him here..

Think before you involve yourself in something you will later regret, don't let somekid trying to showoff insult you in the nearest future,

immediatelyy you have a diverse opinion on a subject matter with that fellow.


The next thing will be, "no b you wey post dashboard, wey I give 10k that time, Abi the 10k no reach you."

Don't dine with the devil.

2cribz:
Stfu fool. U can get a crv for 1.8m toks. Its an old outdated piece of crap. Outdated crv is shiit.any fool buying it for 3m has been duped massibely.its worth is 1.8 to 2.1m max

Was you brain off when you said one could get it for 1m?

Please show me where you cant get tokunbo 2007 CRV for 1.8.

I doubt you even know cars, perhaps you're considering the price of 1999 crv for all CRVs. Sure you don't know difference between 2005/2006 crv from 2007 own.

God bless you bro. Na truth you dey vomit for mouth.

BTW, have we all agreed dru23 isn't a fleet manager as once claimed on this thread and can drive now?


Mehn, na that violence made me follow and love this thread that time, especially dru23 vs gazzuzz.

pope191:
Yea, I agree with you... I can say much about earning on dashboard, but what we do with the cash is relative base on our lives situation. It ingrained in me that anyone earning 150k monthly in Lagos is yet to have a life or clear resolution, a standard 3 bedroom now goes as far as 800k, that's like 5 months salary, children school fees and family upkeep. We have lot of work to do, than drawing unnecessary attention, ppl make much more than this, make up artist and Co that carries iPhone 11 up and down, don't even loud their income. Let's just b easy, person wey won deh motivated, go wake when reality hit em... You can force a horse to d stream, but you can never force the horse to drink from it. Same way, you can force ppl to see your dashboard, but you can never force them to reason proper.

As for JPWORLD, nah cruise sha, we all need both the good, bad and ugly to make a complete circle.

Youre a comedian.

1. Youre comparing the price of a tokunbo with naija used.
2. Youre comparing the price of Toyota products with Hyundai.

alphabbey1:
Actually to me, I don't think it's reasonable to spend 1.9M to buy a 2005 camry model, not even pimped ride.. see the rim self... ... Very very unreasonable and am sure if you self had realized amount u'll spend in shipping the car, you wouldn't have purchase it for 2100$ in first place....... If research is done well, someone can get Clean 2009/10 Camry for 2.1M... And to OP, you can only blame the contributors for pointing out the obvious, don't ridicule them that they don't know what they're saying.... I still sold Extremely Clean Hyundai Elantra 2013 for 1.95 weeks ago... Pictures below... And that's what distress sale means ....


Nevertheless, am sure u'll see buyer for the ride. For anything for sale, there's always someone out there searching to buy it....
