Okay.B

Anything else?

If no, you can proceed to F off.

If yes, you can also proceed to F off.

So did you buy the volvo just for ehailing or you have other plans for it ?
That money could have bought 3 civics for uber, considering the amount you sold your civic.

But, we were in a Covid lockdown for 3months last year. If i could recall vividly well, in some parts of Lagos, Okada was banned for a month or so, even after the lockdown before they started sneaking out again.
Which soap you use?

donfortune48:

Hp for corolla then was even 2.5m.

But where was this supertech before now?
Maybe if @Dru had made this research earlier before now some of the people using XHP would have been using it instead and I am sure the price of supertech then would be avoidable by many but we were brainwashed that no other oil can do the job except Mobile 1. And now that Mobile 1 price skyrocket supertech surfaced suddenly. What if the price of supertech goes up when demand is high? There is always alternative jor

Well said bro. Apart from being childish, I don't think a typical Nigerian wants to show you the way where he or she is making real money. Can't remember when Gazzuzz or radautoworks shows how much they make to encourage others as those displaying their earnings claim. Besides, someone making close to 500k per month shouldn't even be on a forum like this again. Should have fleet of cars by now. Awon dashboard geng, but not reflecting in their accounts or lifestyle.

I repeat Na level of their maturity

weight is a lot more important than brand tbh. What brand does is mostly make you sure that the weight on the jug is exactly what's in the jug.

You just spoke my mind bro, with there taskforce and ticket guys wahala cos I'm wondering and last year was terrible for all businesses

What about looking for good quality parts . That alone can frustrate somebody to the max .......so in these business you are getting screw in different ways by mechanics and by part dealers... When I tell people the need to maintain their cars and buy quality parts etc .. They will say I want sell market etc .....

Now 1 of personal cars needs shocks and tires .. I have bought Tokunbo shocks in ladipo .. The shocks went bad again after few weeks. Now I Will be shipping brand new shocks and tires . The tire part is even crazy . I spend 54k naira on 1 tire the tire only lasted for two weeks ........The brand new tires I got in Yankee will cost $300 ..... Which is fine and I know in the next two years or so I won't have tire or shocks problems.....


It is the parts seller making big money and while the customers are at the lossing end .. If you think am the same amount used to buy these parts over and over again could have save enough money to buy brand new

I generally like to read comments here to amuse myself.
I'll drop this here for people who can think.
For context, I started e-hailing with a corolla, moved to a Civic 04 (dru23) and now I use a Volvo S40.
In my opinion, the corolla is not worth the hype and the hassle. There's more to a car than fuel efficiency and I must say that the corolla is not exactly fantastic in this regard especially when you contrast it against the sacrifice of performance and comfort that you're making.
In April 2017 my corolla was bought for 2.2m and sold last year for 1.230, that's a hit of 950k. In those 3 years, I changed the hub and suspension assembly, AC components, then it had a brain box issue later NO engine/Transmission issues.
April Last year I got a used civic 04 for 450k, spent about 1m on it for the 1 year I had it. Oven bake, suspension assembly, AC, electrical ish and regular maintenance inclusive. I sold it last week for 530 without issues. So give or take a 1m hit.
Got my S40 for 1.7. CLEAN civic EX trim was priced at 1.9 (that's the least I saw) Corolla, lol, we know how far so no need.
While the S40 is not giving me the fuel efficiency of the civic or the corolla, performance and comfort is millions of miles ahead of the Japanese. My S40 is FULL OPTIONS, leather, power everything, parking sensors EVERYTHING and it moves like a dream. Add the humbling it gives riders when I pull up and they enter inside. Since I got it, no rider don talk rudely to me lol.
Now the numbers. While the S40 is not doing the fuel economy of the corolla, it is 800k less to buy today. For clarity, my corolla was doing 1ltr per 10km, S40 is doing 1.15 per 10km. So that's Ask yourself, how long will it take me to spend that extra 800k on petrol?
The parts of the S40 I HEAR are cheaper than the Corolla, I say I HEAR because I have not had to change anything yet. I know for sure that engine and transmission are much cheaper than the Corolla sha. So where exactly is the economy?
The 2nd hand value myth, I have debunked several times here. Mind you, the figures for the Corolla was only purchase price. In those three years about 700k was spent on maintenance. Add that to 2.2 then subtract the price it was sold for. I didn't talk much about the civic because its own parts are much much cheaper than the Corolla parts, imagine changing complete hub assembly (hub,brake discs, brake pads, ball joints) for 16k. Compressor was 15k. Parts were cheap And they lasted till I sold the car.

I primarily felt the need to post this because I adviced someone who had saved up 1.4 but was looking for a loan to add so he could get a toks corolla. I told him to take that money and buy a toks civic 04 or 05. He said na corolla or nothing, as he no see toks money, he bought a naija used and now he has his mechanic on speed dial.

There's nothing in this business like driving your own car. If you have saved up something go and get a used civic, BE SURE to do your due diligence before buying, but I will tell you categorically that your risk exposure is less with the civic. You will make the same amount of money but you'll spend less.

Felicity001:


Boss I understand you well quite a lot but if I've to be honest with you, those mechanics and part dealers are not as dubious as you think of them.

The question is how long will you go round the circle?

Pearl1910:


That's why I stick with what is known to b true and real...
All these Nigerian synthetic blends of 8k, 10k in the market today...only God knows what they mix inside container and plaster 5w30 on container for us.

Pearl1910:


Lolzzz...I know u will comment on this. So u aren't still convinced yet?

BAZ001:


Achievable but not consistent
Net earnings without deducting fuel.
Only changing of shocks alone as zapped two weeks earnings, but they won’t say dt to bank teller. I pity peeps dt will resign cos of dis earnings flying up and down .
Nobody should complain when partners increase rental to 30/35k.

emmancecute:
A 04/05 honda civic is your best bet. Apply caution when getting one, you might have to up your budget though cos cars are really expensive now.

Felicity001:


Can this super tech do 10000miles b4 another change? What's the recommended milaege by the manufacturer b4 a change and which filter is recommended for it? Names and price pls... Make the filter available also.

emmancecute:
In this hustle you have to be street smart hence our mechanics will send he knows I can always get it myself and cheaper. Be street smart my people.

Your mechanic will soon change you

bolutic:

Thank for respond sir hope this honda civic legs don't tear apart just asking sir

Shanid:
okay ,thank you for this point but let me be clear in this , are you saying 10w30 is better than 5w30 ??

Buy the right weight.

And any brand will do.

The sad part is, what really maters is, what's in the jug. You will have jugs stamped with 5w30, and whats in it is SAE40.

Then it brings us to brand. I can trust a brand, because when they say it is 5w30 it is actually 5w30 and not groundnut oil.

It also takes us to where you source your oil from. 100%, a number of the people buying Mobil 1 are only buying 'can' or another palm oil, cos they are buying from shady sources. You could make a lot of money just selling mobil 1 empty jugs


It will interest you to know, you have a high propensity of buying the faked most hated XHP if you are buying from shady source...


So actually, the most important factor is where you source your oil from and trusted brands. So when they are selling 5w30 to you, you are actually buying 5w30.
