Lemme drop this here. My car inspection expired on 16th of this month. But I noticed my car was not blocked or removed from the platform. Deliberately i decided to keep working, wanting to know how many days grace period bolt gives. So yesterday, I received a Corporate request. On getting there, the man refused to enter my car, saying that the car on the app was not the one I brought to him. Immediately, he called the plate number, I realised it was my previous car. I tried to convince him that it was my last car. He sha canceled trip. Lo and behold, when i checked my app, my recent car has been removed, leaving only my last car that I have sold since April. I got a message from bolt later that I should take my car re-inspection. I was so glad that the man cancelled trip because if he had allowed me to pick him and later report the case to Bolt, it is straight permanent block.

So, guys watch out for this. If your inspection expires, you have between 8 to 9 days to do another inspection.

BTW, how long does it take bolt to approve inspection? My car inspection is under REVIEW since 12pm.

You will be surprised that Bolt accepts that car. A Bolt driver who uses Toyota Galaxy once picked me up from Gowon estate to Festac recently. Bolt are desperate baba. Bone

Here we go again.. Camry v4 meaning 4cyclinder from 2007 to 2010 are factory defects bad piston had a recall. This is factory defect and Toyota knew about it and they try to sweep it under the rug.

That been said, Toyota told their customers to take the cars to the dealership for testing for oil shorten. Those that were knew to have issues Toyota fix them free of charge etc.

Some owners were using heavier oil to fix the issue.. But don't quote me on this , I recall that Toyota advice to use heavier oil .. But it does not fix the piston issue. It was more like putting a bandaid above the wound...


I sell cars myself . A friend once sold me a Toyota Camry 07 . He sold for me at about $1500 , this was when naira about 380 to the dollar . I bought the car thinking I got a deal. When it was time to put the car for sale. I notice that oil almost dried up , oil level was very low . my mechanic said something like this Camry are know to short oil . I than did my research and find out that it short oil.. It now dawn on me why my friend sold the car to me. He was in haste to sell the car fast fast. I was very highly upset , lesson learn.....

A good friend of mine does uber in the states. He bought a 2010 camry for uber. He was complaining about the car and how keeps taking it to the mechanic and list of other problem. And he stated that he has to keep checking oil level for daily anointing. He said keeps extra gallon of oil for top ups. He said the car is good on fuel , but oil shorten is too much and tedious to be checking all the time.........He said it is factory defect........

When I do talk , I talk from experience . I will never buy those Camry v4 07 to 10. But the v6 is a goal , I love the v6 .......The are fast and strong and good on fuel ......


Ps .. I also notice that v4 rav4 short oil. I was told to stay away from them . I bought a v6 for a client back than. When I couldn't find a v4. I dodge the bullet lol again I talk from experience and research....

I think it's still okay.
If I understand the post correctly, you can borrow 100k today and pay back tomorrow with interest of just N600 so the longer it takes to repay the higher the interest. Besides it's not everybody that qualifies for GT loan and many of those that qualify won't get up to 100k

Who borrows to repay next day?. From his analogy. At least 22 working days. That's 13,200 on just ₦100,000. Haba now. In a year that's over ₦150,000 interest on just ₦100,000.

As per GT, it's your cash flow that determines your loan. If I need 500k from them, na just to dial code. But what for, when I could actually save up.

The most important aspect of a loan r d terms.
Which biz will pay interest of over 13% MONTHLY. Even the banks regarded as shylock won't ask more than 20-22% yearly.

Now what does the rule says about engine replacement?sadly, I really do not know

Now...dem go shout: "we go impound your vehicle". " Na alausa we go carry am go bla bla bla..."

No enter one inspector office go dey negotiate bribe ó,or dey write one yeye statement inside one separate office. if the amount is reasonable enough and you can part with, you fit roger them. But if not...

Insist, them book you on the counter, open file, submit car key

The bold statement above, dem no dey like am at all. That's what I always do ó. They realise, next thing nah court matter, which they don't always like and DPO won't want to go through such yeye stuff. Mind you, Police officers are always on road for a particular(specific) reason which the DPO should be aware of ó and its always being stated and time bound e.g 0800hours - 1100hours:

They are on look out for robbers. Anything contrary to such, is illegal worku.
except the car was reported stolen, then that changes the narrative.

Have gone through this at ipaja ayobo police station...they wasted my time...I no mind....na DPO leave me last last, dem say I too get stubborn head. I insisted make dem open case file for me, book me on counter and charge me to court.

Aluta spirit no dey finish ó....




Tanx bro! After reading ur post, I double firm up. Feeling like Schwarzenegger, I drove to the station, these guys billed me 30k through their female officer. Thieves! Omo, my brain reached 60 degree celcius. I mad!!!
I didn't even know, my rider has made a call to abuja, omo, na retired AIG I spoke with through rider's fone. Next thing, give any officer u see there the fone.
Fiam, after the call( na only yes Sir, yes Sir, I dey hear) the officer(man) that spoke with the AIG callwd the female officer to release all items to me with immediate effect grin .
She had to call the officer and told him what happened.
Na so they handed me over my things.

They kept my documents with her in the office and kept my plate number in their van.

Tomorrow I don go make info about affidavit and police report.

I think it's when your salary account is domicile with GT. They have increased their interest for me from 1.33% to 1.5%. if you earn above 100k, you may qualify up to 300k. 12 months repayment period.

Number101:
Whose is in need of loan? N100,000 loan @ N600 daily interest only on Monday - Friday.
What this mean is,
If you take the N100,000 you will be paying N600 daily as the interest into our account from Monday to Friday. Saturday & Sunday excluded, until you no longer interested with the loan, then you return the principal of 100k.
NB. You must bring a collateral worth more than 100k.
Our office is at Bar-Beach tower VI. The military compound. Thank you.
If interested call or whatzap 08028822072

N600/day amounts to about N14,400/month and approx N168,000 in a year. Meaning ur loan is 168%per annum. Plus collateral again.
Wonderful mkpo mpaidem. Local man is shocked.

You're right bro. I use a Toyota Camry 08 (muscle). The engine oil shortens so often. Even the fuel sef dey short. Corolla uses like 4k to 4500 for a day hustle. I use 5 to 6k a day. I complained to my mechanic about the engine oil shortening. He said it's the dryness of the brake oil, Abi Na gear oil! Changed it and it's still the same. Checked it this morning and it's short again. I already called him and he said I should bring it tomorrow. I don taya! Should have bought a Corolla instead. Camry 08 to 10 no good for this hustle at all
