I am new to Uber. I want to get a HP for a Toyota Corolla tokunboh. Price of car is 2.3m HP is 4m. Weekly remittance: 25k Told the owner 4m is too much. I am asking the house, was I right or is that price (4m) what is obtainable? |

jjmk:You did the right thing bro. You want go slave for 3.5 years? You will end up putting over 100,000 miles on that car that I'm sure has done over 200,000 miles already. By the time you're done and considering our maintenance culture, that vehicle is dead already. Of what use is it for you. Not going to blame the owner of the vehicle too, he's not running a charity organisation and he's only making about 25% per annum which i think is very much fair. The only way this HP model works on bolt is if the person driving it has someone else that foots his bills. Maybe the parent, cousin or uncle. That way, he can remit all his earnings to the owner of the car and pay him off in a year and half or thereabout. Anything else is destined to fail. |

pope191:It shows you have no clue of what u are saying.. After Corolla Hyundai elantra is the next big choice for ehailing. Parts are very easy to get .. The elantra engine bay is not too tight to work around with...... Have been doing uber for 4years plus.. Elantra USA spec 2.0liter was my first choice of cars on the platform.. The car was very ok strong and fuel consumption was good as any 1.7 liter engine car .. I had about 6 of them the a/c system was well built , the transmission was impressively built strong.. I was so impress with the Elantra that I bought 1 for private use ....... The car was too simple to fix not a complicated car ...... Elantra Resale value.... I never had issues selling them at all .... Since I took good care of the cars I had up selling them for nothing less than 1m ..... It didnt take me long to sell at all .... I have basically sold all my elantra on my fleet except for 1 that I will be putting up for sale soon.. Never had issues selling those cars .. I don't like to keep cars for more than two years on ehailing, even though I have kept some for longer ...... Unfortunately tokunbo elantra USA spec 07 to 10 are very expensive at the auction.. They are built to compete with Corolla.. And they are 1 of the top selling cars in the USA on that category etc ... And I knew it will be expensive down the line especially if am buying them tokunbo for ehailing. This is why I switch over to the Civic 03 to 05 ... When it comes Cars that are use on the platform .. It boils down to maintainence of the car ...... I have seen a 2010 Corolla that the body was so banged up and looking unkempt dirty etc that I wouldn't want to get inside o.. . So with offline trip all it matters the condition of the car and good shape the car is in ..just because it is a Corolla that has been rough up banged up etc will not make me enter ,just because na Corolla... 90% of ur assement makes no sense or.has no substance at all ..it shows you have no idea of what u are saying...... Than to top it up .. You stated tokunbo civic goes for 1.2m naira with these currant exchange rate . Abi na dead tokunbo you talking about for 1.2m even dead tokunbo go pass 1.2m ......let me break it down for you below..... Honda Civic tokunbo 2003 to 2005 Assuming clean title and accident free.... Budget $2k Shipping cost $ 920 , some shipping agent will charge $1k ... Towing to the Port.. Depending on location anywhere from $150 to max $500. Clearing from the Port 470k naira .. If you buy the car at the lowest calculation below .. Exchange rate black market now is 480 Buying.. $ 1k Shipping..$920 Towing to port $ 150 Clearing from the Port... 470k naira ... So I use exchange rate of 460 for my total landing cost.. Which came to 1.422200m naira.. For the fact that I use 460 instead of 480 .. Landing cost is above 1.2m that you were spewing out ... this my landing cost is not even guaranteed .. 1.6m should be the minimum landing cost...... See yourself now ... I shake my head at times .. Just spewing total nonsense up and down |

dru23:Oga Dru I just want to let you know that an attack on the Pope is an attack on every Oven world wide. Seriously you won't like to go one on one with me on this issue, because you obviously will b found dumb with the questions I'll throw at you. As you said I don't have knowledge of what I am saying, I hope you've read through the place Kanu Nwankwo the G.O.A.T and I talk it out, about me using my experience when I was trying to get one as standard. Inbtw that I've seen toks for 1.4 on jiji, probably if priced, one maybe able to arrive at 1.3m, what's the difference in + or -? Oh! Is a dead car, you've already test drive it abi? and it's not possible according to your analysis. You need to wake up, dust that dirt of your shoulder, folks sell cars for different reasons, some even use it to launder money, some just need to get ride off the old stocks to clear new and better cars, they won't be sitting on 100 to 200k profits, when they have better fish to catch. On Hyundai? I generalise it and you singled one out of it, how wise is that? But I'll still pick the choice you flow with. Going back to 3 yrs ago, this same car was almost flooding everywhere with 407, what happened to them today that made Corolla and Matrix still gaining egde among them? I don't know... You said it's because of high cost you stopped using them. Bros high cost or low cost, once a tool is not feasible for business, simple means it's not good for such business, forget the pampering biko. You said you sold your Elantra easily, yet Nigeria used cars are not worthy to buy, the buyers must have been very stu.pid, craz.y, senseless and fooli.sh to have put their foots in such buy I guess. Oh! I forget, you always maintain your cars. Please how much did it cost you to put the cars to work? How much did you sell them? I leave that to your faith. But one thing I just Want you to know, that selling is easy if price is right, even our villain ford, is someone's hero and probably if they can maintain it well, all will b well. Let me burst your bubble, I cant survive with heaping an idol that I'll have to drop oil on his head every 1a.m, the traffic in Lagos can b crazy, one day I'll get stuck and that nigga goan find me and wipe nonsense of my life, the beginning of a man's fall I guess... meaning, in this country, you can't be 100% right on maintenance, everything is fighting you (from filling stations, oil distributors to the ones that you will think they change Mobile 1 to XHP). On getting an offline trip. I once picked a rider that said her friend cancels the rider the moment she notice is not Corolla or Camry, that's odd if you ask me, but who is going to tell her? For the men, they hardly care about the car, but for these our wives? You just can't see enough of them, when I was using Hyundai, one once told me she was happy about another type of car outside the norm. So it's an influx of back and forth, but with corrola/camry assurance cover you. Need you know that on Civic, most people sitting at the back find it difficult to stretch legs, Even your boy (sorry! Man) Felicity001 is looking for car and he's not putting Civic as option, I believe say e get reason. Let's narrow down to business: You said, you sold your used cars above 1m, for want of understanding. Please can you knowledgeable buy any car used on uber for a year and months or 2 years above 1m? Can you advise anyone you know to buy such? What's the sense in buying a car for 1.6m in the name of civic, register it and incur more cost, only for them to b pricing it 700k, 600k after a year? All these stu.pid marlians with no respect for cars. Chucmoore said he's spendin 300k to fix his car, give chilex8 that 300k, I'm sure he will add 100k to it and uber car is on it way to set so you see what works for A may not work for B, but since he that is wearing the shoe knows where is pinching him the most, then damn perception and do what works for you. You invest, I invest and drive at least 4 days in a week, slept inside the car and start over the next day without bath, menh! Don't toy with the head I give, it's may pain, stress and regrets I'm giving out for free to save another person, and prep a better easy rolling ground for them.Note: I'm not saying Civic is not good, for a starter with low budget, it's the best option and he or she can built from there. Please know someone with G wagon and Camry no b mate for Lekki-epe express road, if you think say I they lie, ask Korope how they act when they notice the one in front of them. |

pope191:This your epistle long no be small I don't even know where to start.....Make I start with the most obvious statement ... You stated a tokunbo civic can land 1.2m .. You want make they steal am give u? ....Another statement you made .. Elantra is hard to sell etc that the seller will be begging the owner to come and buy etc .. Parts are hard to find etc .. You lost me on that one I.. Elantra was my very first car I used on uber.. I never had issues looking for parts etc and till today elantra is still very popular for uber.. The last tokunbo elantra I sold about almost two years ago .. I bought from a private owner for $700 load it inside container for $1200 and sold it less than two weeks and still made small profit ... Mind you When you load a car inside container it affects your profit margin .. I no get time to break it down for you... Now I no fit get elantra that same price anymore . it is expensive, it is almost like buying corolla ... So elantra are still very popular among uber drivers and private users alike....... The only way I will use elantra again is if uber restructure their business model and increase fare and make their services more premium etc .. Trust me na elantra I go use sharp sharp...... For now elantra 2007 upwards is too classy for uber unless uber is offering premium services. Corolla is ok for uber work due to its non executive looking shape .. I will rather have an elantra of the same year of a corolla pick me up for am important event than a corolla .. There is nothing wrong with a Corolla , I agree it is stronger than an elantra .. But the car is just too local and outdated for me ....... I will even take a 2021 Elantra of the same year over a corolla ... Uber is no more a luxury ride anymore.. As such you have to adjust accordingly I said it in the past. If you are buying tokunbo corolla , camry , vibe , matrix for ehalling you are not only wasting ur time and money But you are hustling backwards, whether civic get leg room for back or not ..uber is no more premium services anymore .. Uber cars should get you from point A to point B in comfort and safety.. Uber cars are not meant to be carry loads of people up and down .... All those riders that u said will cancel a ride because of type of car etc .. They are not serious at all .. When is time for them to pay money na story and most can't afford premium services. And that is why uber reduce their car age requirement from 2007 down to 03 .......make I drop Mic .... I need to teach you few things about business bro .. |

dru23:True. Thats why I said the owner of the vehicle is not to blame as well. The main problem is the ridiculous prices these vehicles are being sold. How do you buy a corolla for 2.2m? Most graduates are very happy to take a 150k a month job. How many years will it take such a graduate to save 2.2m to buy a corolla assuming he's a corolla or nothing gang ![]() |

dru23:Boss abeg don't over get high on your supply, what I wrote there is clear enough and you are not the only cars supplier biko, I obviously won't bring private matter to public (talking about what we here thinks). When you say enough folks still uses Elantra for Uber, e b like say you they follow them park under tree for chevron, abi you they follow them sleep in front of farmcity, you can rehearse the role of Arnold behind your keyboard, but me will offer you reality. I touched almost everything you wrote here, but since you want to cherry pick and quick to conclude, it all becomes watery and sense of weak emotions for me. About teaching me business? what works for you may not work for me. Let me narrow down to you and Felicity001, no gesture of offence please... how many months did you guys worked as partner? how much did he bring to the table? How much did you use to fix the car when the going was good and after? Business 101 Please no cherry picking. |

dru23:No cherry picking, I have questions begging for answers, but you keep looking for fault to buy your way out. The elantra you want to sell for 1.3, if I offer u 1.2/1.1, won't you accept it? Then what's the big deal if I narrow a car of 1.4 price tag on jiji to 1.2m or you just feel you can hold on to this point to make mountain out of mole hill. Note: wot I quote was what I got when I was trying to get one and as at yesterday I saw 1.4 on jiji, are we clear now? Please answer my questions and stop cherry picking, cos from that, you will enter ur last straw (memes). |
