Do research on these C-Classes of MB
C180
C200
C230

All 4 plugs

I learnt the W203 red top engine are more rugged and most people regard them as bullet proof. Their engines are 1.8L. I don't see any advantage the Toyota has over the German cars apart from resale value which I'm very sure that in 5-7yrs that narative will.change because I've seen a lot of people use these cars for ehailing in lagos and other states.

The 9ja used of these car ranges from 900-1m And above. Tok is ranges from 2m and above.

The only challenge is getting trusted and experience hands to work on it but as you keep using it you'll begin build a relationship with them.

I get plenty transfer story, but let me tell this one that happened Two weeks ago.

I was at Osapa around 6pm, hoping to get a ride to my destination (surulere) so I can close for the day.

I checked Indriver and saw a trip #5,550 around Ikate bust stop (3rd round about), I clicked on it to check destination and it was showing me somewhere around Alakuko (after abule egba). I jejely closed it back. But going through available trips, I saw that the #5,550 trip have De Heaven's Agungi as destination. I opened it again and it's still showing me Alakuko area, but I know the actual De Heaven's in Agungi.

I decided to accept the trip and call the rider to confirm her actual destination, she said Agungi.

I rushed down to pickup oh!
A guy now drove her to the Estate gate, she entered my car and the guy went back inside.

I was hoping she will say something about the price but she didn't, and kept my cool and drove to destination without even arriving on the app.

Trip lasted for 17mins because of traffic on Lekki Epe express.
Time to pay, she asked me how much.

Me: 5,550
Rider: call your account number
(still didn't say anything about the price, cos I was even ready to collect 2k. Cos even with 1.9 surge on Bolt that trip can't reach 2k.)

I called out my account number.

Few seconds later.
Rider:Done. (she now showed that USSD notification that say transfer successful) and was about leaving the car.

But my mind no carry am.
How can you just transfer 5,550 for a trip that should be #700 without complaining?

Me: Have you been debited?
Rider: yes.

Me: can I see?
Rider: I haven't been debited, but you'll get it.

Me: let's wait for alert from either end. (her's or mine).
Rider: Okay.

We waited for 10mins, but no alert from both ends.

Rider: so what should we do now?
Me: you have to resend it, cos I must get alert before I leave here.

Rider: call your account number again.
Me: I did.

Rider: OH! It's telling me network error, I think it's from my bank.
Me: let's go to the ATM then.

Rider: my atm is broken I don't have any.
Me: use your app.

Rider: I don't Use app.
Me: you need to find an alternative, cos I must leave with my money.

Rider: Just forward your account number, I'll keep trying it. I promise to send your money.
Me: not today.

Rider: trust me, I will send it.
Me: I don't trust my riders anymore; from experience.

Rider: So what should we do now?
Me: let's go to the Hotel's reception so you drop something valuable there, when I see my money, I'll notify them to release it to you.

Rider: you're embarrassing me. I told you I'll send your money. What is 5k nauw?
Me: I just bust out of the car to search for any staff that can lead me to management.

Luckily for me, the person I approached happens to be the Hotel's manager. I narrated my case to him.
He then came to the lady to inquire about what the problem could be.
I happened that the girl have not even paid for the previous night she slept in the hotel, that the hotel have to seize her Luggage till when she pays.

After several back and forth, the Manager asked to go and count on him. That if she didn't pay, he will give me the money.
That's how I left.
Got a trip to surulere and closed for the day.

The manager called me 3 different times to confirm if she has don't it, but I haven't.
He said he has approached the girl several times and she has been giving different excuses. ( I have don't it, it got reversed, my network is bad, I will call someone to do it now).

The next morning, the guy called me more times to confirm, but the story is still the same. I even called the lady, she asked for my account number again. But I didn't still see anything.

Around 10am same day the manager now called me and said I should please come and collect my money anyway I want it oh! That he's tired and want to take himself off the case. I parrah give am small but we got to understand ourselves.

I dressed up and started looking for a trip to the island and luckily got one. (this was a Saturday).

Got there, called the lady to come down, but she refused.
Called the manager, he went up to the lady's room and opened it with the mastercard before she agreed to come down.

The guy now transfered us to the CSO(chief security officer) of the Hotel.

She started giving stories again ( bank issue, someone will send it, someone will send to me and I will now send to you). Contradicting stories.

I know raked on her, but people calmed me down. The now ask her to send it now.
For over 40mins, we were just by the pool side, and she was just calling different people to send money to her.

I calmly asked to Check her phone and she gave me. That's how I seized it.
Gave it to the CSO to hold and release it to her when ever I get my money. He refused and called the manager. Manager also refused. That the ball is on my Court. I should take any decision I want.
That's how I started walking away with the phone oh!

People now begged me to give her 10mins more before I make my final decision. So I gave her the phone back.

3mins later, I got alert oh!

That's the girl below, making frantic effort to raise the money.

Bolt has blocked them bad Riders , they are now using Uber that doesn't care for Drivers anymore.

That's how I carried one on Indriver on Monday night, she said her friend just introduced her to Indriver that it's Uber she uses but cos it was past twelve she needed an alternative. Got to her destination, she did transfer, I saw her debit but didnt take note of the amount. When she went inside I got my alert of 1k instead of 2,700. I called her back she no pick, I reported her to Indrive immediately, I was so pissed, I was determined to get this girl. I came back to d hotel and parked beside d gate. Infact I was ready to stay there till morning just to confront her. After about 20mins she came back out to look for taxis outside d hotel cos Indriver had blocked her. Immediately she saw me, she felt like disappearing or entering d ground I told her u sent me 1k and refused to pick my calls and she was blabbing that it was a mistake etc "why didn't u pick my calls" she said she was busy when she went inside. Okay "why didn't u call me back when u finished ur rounds?" She say make I forget that one she go complete my money, can I take her back. I asked her complete my money first, and that her return journey is 5k.
She started begging that I reduce d fare, its too much, it's late, she can't get cab etc
Finally, on our way she told me that's how other drivers will be threatening/insulting her, that she doesn't like threats that she has d mind to send d money later when she has but once threat and insult comes in or Bolt blocks her, she doesn't bother to send d money again. That she has 3lines Bolt has blocked all. That this Indriver she will register with another sim. I was like, If I knew this is d kind of person u r, I 4 no carry u...u for find ur way home by urself. I took her through where there is police, incase she carry drugs or weed, make they arrest am. But she lie give police say she get pant and menstrual pad inside d bag that he can't search her bag that's how she escaped.

So Bolt is weeding them out, am just surprised Uber has drastically changed for worse because of desperation to keep Riders.

After doing my daily offline today with my German client I decided to put on my app with the hope of getting a trip towards a preferred destination.

I got a request to Abule Ado... Thinking it's Idimu igando axis... Rider called and affirm same thing and she was happy I was coming.

Got to PU, waited about 10minutes for her to get her things in with her little baby of less than a yr.

Started trip while she was on a call only to see trip would take about 1hr: 20min from Ejigbo.
I checked the map to the end and noticed she was actually going to trade fare. Me

Madam pls where exactly is this plc you're going to?

Festac phase 2...

Long story short... I drove back to drop her where I picked her from.

I don't want to be caught in yhe middle of dropping a young lady half way with a baby and her luggage that late.

Trip ended 1k I told her not to worry about paying.

Thanks boss.. but according to my research, these are my deductions;

1. The 230 kompressor is the most common C-class which is 2.3l and not suitable for Uber/bolt

3. Most guys say one should avoid any C-CLASS kompressor at all cost especially those that are prone to flooding (W203)

2. The 1.8l kompressor comes with M271 engine...i.e the C180 and C200 (2003-2007) while the non kompressor comes with M111 (2000-2002) and you know uberbolt accept car which are 2003 and above.

I need your insight on this. Thanks once again
