SimDan95:


what do u think about Toyota muscle for Uber is it efficient?? and how much is the neat tokunbo.
Toyota Muscle is a good car for Uber but the three issues with it is
1. the fuel economy, don't get me wrong, muscle is another excellent car interms of fuel economy but once the system starts giving you issues you would spend so much to fix it unless you are lucky to meet good mechanic.
2. The chassis will suffer under intense use in our rough driving traffic.
3. Generally, Camry muscle has a kind of complex system that it's not easy some of our mechanics to fix. The only advantage I see in muscle is that it provides enough leg space for both its and its passengers. There space for you.
If I were you, I will go for Toyota Corolla 010 to 012. Super strength and incredible fuel economy.
Both Toyota Muscle (Toyota Camry 2008 and Toyota Corolla 010) tokunbor are N2.6-N2.8m with us.

Pls what are d problems of Volkswagen sharran

Like absorber,fuel,parts legs etc

Any deadly problem or any constant problems associated

The Volkswagen Sharan Weakpoints: Abs sensor, steering rack, dual mass flywheel, clutch and some electrical wiring issues. But these shouldn't discourage you as they are affordable and easy fix for most Volkswagen Mecho.

10. Suzuki Every and other micro buses like it:

This bus is called 'koropin' in Lagos. Infact if you're starting out and you're interested in intra-city transport business, this bus will serve you well. Lagos State government just banned 'Keke Napep' also known as 'Maruwa' in major roads and many places in Lagos, therefore, not only that this bus is fast replacing 'Maruwa' in Lagos but it can seat minimum 8 passengers including the driver, and also the bus is permitted on all major express roads. The average distance best for this bus is maximum 4km about 3miles and the price per passenger is N100. This bus can fetch you N7k per day and averagely N85k pure profit per month after subtracting fueling, feedings, and maintenance cost. The car strong die and owing to it very small engine, its fuel economy is superb. Very good choice for hire purchase also.
Registered one goes for N400k, while tokunbor ones go for N900k to 1.3m with us here in Lagos.

If you are interested in cargo rather than peoplas passengers in your transport business consider any of these pickups:
Toyota Dyna, Chana, piagio, Jack or Tata pickups, you can either get covered or opened back ones

12. Kia Rio 2008-2010: Kia products are super cool for your taxi, Uber or Taxify business idea. You won't regret buying Kia Rio and infact any Kia saloon/sedan car. The legs of Kia products na horse, Dem de kakaraka. One major thing you need to take very serious about Kia Rio or any other Kia brand saloon or sedan car is to make sure you service the engine very regularly with quality Engine oil. If you knock that engine, averagely it costs over 350k to fix another one. Kia Rio engine is very very reliable just ensure you quickly repair any oil leakage and check your engine oil regularly to ensure your car engine is not shorting engine oil. Kia Rio can take you from Lagos to Borno State non-stop, can move u from place to place in the city 247 non-stop and without any complain. That's why you see many companies prefer it for their field workers like marketers

13. Kia Cerato 2004-2006,& Cerato 2012-14:
This is another excellent car for city taxi, Uber, Taxify and official car in Nigeria. The fuel economy is second to none amongst the Kia lines of products. This car has its own atmosphere, there's a special feeling I get whenever I'm in one of this brand of car, it just feels like 'very relaxed', no worries at all. Cool for a gift for your woman also grin.
Infact what goes for Kia Rio above also goes for Kia Cerato here.
When you get one of these for your business, it can fetch you over 100k net profit per month, believe me, it's been confirmed by many Nigerian taxi and Uber and Taxify drivers.

14. Hyundai Elantra 2008:
This particular model is very good for transportation business if you can maintain the engine very well. It's also an excellent ride for heavy traffic and long distance travels. The classic nature of this car makes it stands out amongst other models of its kind. It's has no issues except for you to take good care of its engine very well. What's applicable for those Kia products is also true here for Hyundai Elantra 2008. Though not as flashy as latest model of its kind but I bet it's stronger and more rugged than them.

Toyota Corolla:
Hmmn, this car is one of the top most reliable car in Nigeria. I won't say much about this brand of Toyota because it already spoke for itself. This one is good for UBER, Taxify and
intra-city/inter-city private taxi business. You can create relationship with people and build clientele base for your business. But it's best you get tokunbor or very sound registered one for your business.

I need a very sound and clear (registered or tokunbo) but cheap Toyota Corolla or Camry.........Do you have any? If YES Whatsapp me

I focus on the older model cars for now for those who don't have the money to buy for example a Toyota Hiace latest model Bus for a start. You can grow your business from scratch up. But if you know you're experienced and have the money plz go for the best you can.

Apologies for delays on more cars and buses, I was actually waiting for us to discuss the number 1 very well before we go into number 2.

NOTE: this is for people who are new or are venturing into transports business for first time, and we know you need to start small with accurate knowledge. Meanwhile it doesn't rules out that the experienced transports business men/women can't benefit from this thread.

Hence:

2. Volkswagen Transporter T4, 1998-2003

Yes, the number two car you can get is this Volkswagen Transporter. If you know danfo bus in Lagos and how rugged this bus is you will attest to it that if you can lay hands on one of those models of VW transporter you would be glad you made right choice. At Motorways mazel we can help you import tokunbor ones from the USA at very cheap price because the tokunbor and registered model of this car is very costly in Nigeria market. We can also help you sought for very clean registered one.
VW transporter is very versatile and strong, very balance at top speed, infact I'm always feeling on top the world whenever I'm driving any the models of VW transporter.
Let's take a look at various Models of Volkswagen Transporter in the pictures below:

Tokunbor goes for 2.8m to 3m
Registered goes for 1.5m to 1.85m.
these buses are available with us for sales, here in Lagos.
It can fetch you over N280k net profit per month.
For intra-city in Lagos, this bus currently delivers 8k to the owner per day if the owner doesn't drive it himself. But if you drive it yourself the bus will fetch you over 15k profit per day and yet you may not have to do full day. The calculation is simple a single journey of N250 per head gives N4500, 3k remains after the journey as a profit, assume you can go only five trips of such in the whole day grin
........ finish the rest mathematics for your own route. In Lagos some single trip per head is N500, an example is from Berger to toll gate (iyana-ota, Lagos/Ogun boundary), another example is toll gate to Obalende/CMS. cool

My advice goes to salary earners. Shine your eyes my brother/sister, no job is secured this days. Buy one asset that can be fetching money for you. Don't waste your savings on luxuries alone. There is money in transport business till the world comes to an end, because people are still gonna wanna move from one place to the other. Get a ride today and get started....
