Dont be swayed by some contributors who says this and do another. I remember Ogunvic time,many joined the bandwagon to praise Peugeot ,next they flipped over and said ,the best new thing that has happened to them is Kia product, next is i saw all the naija used Kia ,up for sale . Few month down the lane , praises was up for Elantra, Now is if u know u know ,its Matrix over corrolla . My bros,Dont be deceived ,if u keep reading advises from this forum upandan ,confusion go be ur name,some advise is sentimental and some genuine. Without being told u should hv deduced with common sense that sedan is most preferred than hatchback hence the price difference and high resell value for corrolla. My 2cent

Remembering the uber milking days...this is almost impossible now..

Mjosh1000:
True talk will not even tell us how much fuel they consume and other misseccleouns

0ubenji:
something about corolla made it high on-demand despite matrix' existence.
Ppl won't demand to buy something more expensive that is purely similar to another commodity in d market for no reason.

thebigkendo:


It's that reason you are looking for that will make you follow the crowd & buy the more expensive corolla ... Follow follow Nigerians.

I will tell you the that reason if you can explain to me why in Nigeria a toks 2005 corolla LE is more expensive than a 2005 camry XLE(full option)

Abroad a full option Camry should be more expensive than a basic corolla LE either in brandnew and used

Professional advice needed.
If I have 6-700k, which option would be best for me?
1. Buy a neat Nigerian used car, manage for 3-4 months, change engine & maybe transmission
2. Go for direct toks with HP agreement

If I'm going with option 2, how much would be a good deal for HP if I'm depositing 600k on 1.7m car? HP with comprehensive insurance óò. I won't be paying more than 120k/month on the HP (for proper vehicle care & avoid unnecessary pressure)
Thanks.

Nigerian used cars require a lot of attention, you should budget 1-1.2m for purchase and repairs to avoid frustration.

For HP you are good to go. If interested contact me

If you want to go into this full time, then go for a toks. With 700k u are half way to getting a toks. Success will never ever come cheap, deprive yourself of some things and keep saving till u get a substantial amount to buy a toks.
The car gave a very good advice, keep your 700k and look for a toks ride on rental and pick it up, with that u have your capital intact while u keep saving.
Personally, I am not a guy who loves bin in debt hence the reason I do not support a HP deal, anything can freaking go wrong and the end result will be : u lose your deposit and still won't get the car except if the Owner gat a heart of gold which in this case is rare.

Another reason why I do not support HP is as thus :
By the time u finish making payment, your car would have gone through a whole lot of wear and tear and thereby making you work extra months to be able to raise cash to fix it up. A Car of 1.7m would be given out for roughly 3.4 to 3.7m and a duration of about 2years, to me that's slavery. Yes a lot of people have actually benefited from HP deals but my person opinion towards it is a no no. I would rather advice anyone in this position to go for rental, save up and buy your car.

Lastly, Always ask God for guidance, you can never go wrong with Him.

TheCar:


If you're my blood brother, this is the advice I would give you since I want you to succeed.

Don't rush, be patient.

Save a bit more to get your own direct toks.

Use your current savings for treasury bills to get interest that would reduce the amount of cash required to buy a direct toks.

1.4m - 1.7m would get you a prestine toks.

Doing HP is good but anything can happen during your HP period. You would be putting yourself under unnecessary and avoidable stress doing HP. You're almost there with your savings, don't quit now.


*********************

As a car owner not your brother now.

I would advise you do HP, if you get a good car with sound engine.

Ensure the car owner insured the car comprehensively. The name on the insurance policy should include your name. E.g Car Owner Name/Your Name. Incase anything happen, you also get part of the insured amount for the car.

Look at the agreement you signed before collecting any car on HP. If possible, get a shared 50/50 repairs and maintenance plan.

Use the right engine oil, fluids and other OEM part for repairs.

Collect only direct toks for HP to minimize your risk and expenses.


******************

Oya pick your choice.

Which vehicles fall within this category?

HIGHESTPOPORI:
The guy sabi talk,I wonder how his wife copes if he was based in Nigeria, they for don break his head several times

omonla10:
don't mind them jare. There's something they call befitting or elegance.. Have u ever seen a matured man use golf. Even if it's 2010 model.. U can never compare them. Me sef wey never get moni can't use matrix as my personal car. Imagine me wearing agbada or suit driving matrix..
The consumers that demand Corolla are not fools jare.
Resale value nko. U have to consider that too..

My corolla wey I buy Nigerian neatly used 1million a year ago, I'll still sell it over 1million next year

Corolla >>>>matrix

TheCar:
If you're buying a toks, Vehicle History check is a must. Collect VIN and do your history check before negotiating price or doing vehicle inspection with a mechanic.

TheCar:


With good negotiation, you should get a toks car between 2003 - 2006 depending on brand.

Chillex.8 would say don't buy a Naija used car but if you get a good deal and it's naija used please buy.

My car is Nigeria used when I bought it. The seller (First Owner) bought it new in 2013 used it for 4plus years before I bought it from him.

As at the time of purchase, A car dealer was calling 3.5m last price for an accidented toks with 175k miles when my Nigeria used non-accidented car is just 65k miles at 2.3m.

So when making your choice, don't be in a hurry. Take your time because car purchase is a long term investment which is gonna have significant impact on your finance and pocket.

Don't rush it.

Get a good mechanic and also be care of the mechanic you used during car inspection. Your mechanic can help make good choice or reck you.

If you're buying a toks, Vehicle History check is a must. Collect VIN and do your history check before negotiating price or doing vehicle inspection with a mechanic.

WHY DOES YOUR CAR NEED MYMOTO TRACKER

(1) Security: While anti-theft systems like push-buttons before car start, gear lock, pedal locks etc… are good, ONLY A TRACKING SYSTEM LIKE OURS ALLOWS YOU TO RECOVER (AND ALSO PROTECT) YOUR VEHICLE IF YOUR CAR IS HIJACKED FROM YOU WHILE DRIVING. Our trackers are both anti-theft and recovery in nature. e.g. You should shutdown your car before you sleep at night or park in a public space. Whenever you need to start the car, you enable it also.

(2) Remote Monitoring: GPS Security trackers allows you to monitor your vehicle location remotely from your phone. You are able to view your car’s location in real time (from our IOS/ANDROID APPS).

(3) Vehicle History: Through our online platform (IOS/ANDROID APPS) , you can view where your car had been between DAY X and DAY Y. A plot is shown on a map showing your car’s movement over this period of time.

(4) Remotely Stop Your Car: With our security GPS tracker, you are able to stop your car from ANY PHONE with an sms command. This function can also be carried out through our online platforms.

(5) Geo-Fencing Alarm:If your car goes beyond set a radius (or multi-point), say Lagos, you will be notified by sms.

(6) Other alarms (Over-speed Alarm, Ignition On Alarm, Low Battery Alarm ): Over-speed alarms notifies you via sms when your car goes beyond a particular speed. Ignition on notifies you WHENEVER your car is started. Low Battery Alarm lets you know when your car battery is low.

(7) Daily Mileage report (online platform): Daily mileage report shows you a daily chart (in KM) of your car.

Story 1
During one of our installs, the client shared with us how Mr Ayo (not his real name) borrowed his brothers car, and waylaid in the night somewhere in Lagos. Unknown to the thieves, the car had a tracker in it. That same night they tracked the vehicle to a military baracks (apparenntly the thieves had accomplices with military connections). They went with the police and they were able to recover the car (THE DEMOBILIZE FUNCTION OF THE TRACKER WAS USED TO ENSURE THE CAR DID NOT MOVE UNTIL THEY GOT TO THAT LOCATION)...

Story 2
Mr Bayo was bout entering his car in the night somewhere in Lagos when he was attacked. He immediately used his phone to demobilize the car some minutes after they had zoomed away with the car. The thieves ran away when they discovered the car wasn't strating again. The car was tracked to Ajah. Apparently the thieves ran away in fear with the keys of the car

I know u didn't mention me. No offense.lol

If I were u, I will pay assurance deposit and take a tokunbo car on rental. Pls don't attempt any Nigerian used car for the purpose of e hailing. Be it rental or HP.


Drive on rental for months till u can save up for a tokunbo car of your own.


I repeat, don't attempt any Nigerian Used car for E-hailing.

I know they will come for my head.

We agree to diss- agree

joeokoriem:
bros u worked Monday to Sunday no rest!!! Do u have a wife at home? Are u on rentals or HP?

earthsong:
this is screenshot of rides finished. y are the amounts different

jayooh:


If you have discrepancy in what u earned on a particular day and the amount showing one your app today's earning tab, the culprit is usually a previous trip that ended in review- if the amount is higher on the earnings tab. But if it's lower on the earning tab, then a particular trip on that day had entered review process. Taxify can review trip for 1 year, such that by the time the price shows up, you would have forgotten you took the trip and they don't even message you to the effect.

Just worry less
