Pls help boss

MontyNG:
No they dont! The vin number is checked and if it doesnt have a clean title, they reject it!

Sometimes I wonder why people say what they are not sure of with so much confidence! Ignorance is far better than half knowledge in some cases. Pls "drill" your source of info before you "spill" the info. That way, our world will be better.

In Lagos, no Uber inspection centre verifies the VIN to check a car's title (clean or salvage) as at today 24th June 2016. Thanks!

TokyoBulls:
Thanks for your contribution Sir. However, I think your provision for depreciation is too low. A 2009 Tokunbo car is 7 years old in 2016 and 13 years old after the 7 year period you provided for. My advice is between 2 to 3 years for depreciation and I believe it should be between N30,000 and N50,000 depending on the initial cost of the car. For drivers, I pay 15% to 25% depending on the driver's grade. My HPDs earn 25%.

I cant agree less with you bro. I only chose that provision to deceive myself into believing that i'm making some profit at least. If i did 30k/wk depreciation provision, then im running at a loss. Lol...

500k/yr depreciation rate is consistent with nigeria insurance industry's standard though. Again, insurance companies dont factor in uber stress rara since that figure has remained thesame before and after uber came to lagos.

I might be giving u my last standing car (2011 toyota camry) to manage for 40k/wk if u still do that sir.

TokyoBulls:
Uber does not accept any car older than 2009 so you need another car. You determine what you earn. While it is possible to earn N150,000, it is also possible to earn N40,000 per week. You own your own destiny. If you work hard, you can earn N100,000 after Uber with N30,000 fuel and N10,000 for toll/data/car wash and you can keep N10,000 for car maintenance/servicing/repairs. The balance N50,000 is yours if you drive yourself and the car is yours. If you maintain the car well and become more frugal, you will save some part of the N20,000 and earn more. The best is to drive the car yourself if you can. Full time of course. The second best is to get a driver to drive the car full time. Part time is off it.

Nice analysis. I also keep #10,000/wk aside as depriciation cost. This is assuming a #3.5mill tokubo toyota corolla or camry will fully depreciate in 7 years if used on uber every day. With this depreciation provision , i will be able to afford another car (assuming no inflation.lol) after total depreciation of the present one so my business can continue I also pay driver 20% after uber (#20,000 on 100,000 earning). So, my total OPEX could be as high as #80,000 (fuel, toll, data, carwash, maintenance,depreciation,driver salary). So, im left with only 20k a week.

TokyoBulls:
Possible. How often were you checking the car? Who was responsible for maintenance? What kind of targets did you give the driver?

I see my cars when they are due for servicing. I personally monitor the servicing. I am responsible for the maintenance. I give target of 100k after uber. I pay 20% of earnings after uber too. By "wrecked", i mean the arms were all damaged. One noise came up from the arms after one is fixed. Changed shocks, bushing, even steering. Even after those, the drive was not smooth anymore. The car felt like old beetle when driving. I had to sell it off. It was practically working for 4days and spending 3 days with mechanic per week. I am talking of a 2013 model hyundai elantra that i bought brand new in 2013 and used it personally ( driven only occassionally cos i was not based in lagos) until i put on uber about 9months ago.

TokyoBulls:
Possible but the driver must be a special advanced version of a demon. I have some cars I bought brand new over a year ago on the platform and have never fixed anything on them aside from servicing at designated dealer workshops. The driver is the most important part of the business. Also, please check the numbers well before buying brand new cars specifically for Uber. Make sure the numbers check out.

My Hyndai Elantra was wrecked after 9months

kingreign:
An MDX is the only SUV that gives the lexus RX a shiver.
Note:
An ML is a premium/executive SUV which have a younger sibling called the GLK, the MDX is a premium executive SUV having a smaller alternative called the RDX, the RX 2010 is just an entry level premium SUV.

An MDX with the tech package is a vehicle to kill for anytime.
Just like the ZDX was before its phase out.

Kingreign, thanks! See as i dey learn!

Thanks Ataspray. I know benz fans would proudly stay on benz's side anyday but this your post would help me much better if you say what you know about the two cars based on my highlighted points.

Honestly, i think fans of either car would want to defend it to any length and would leave someone like me who doesnt know jack about the cars more confused. So, if u can, try to avoid sarcasm in your posts. Fear of being 'bashed' could make others that would have posted some useful stuff ( like urs) keep to their opinions.

Once again i thank u. Based on ur post, hmmmm...who doesnt prefer a mansion to a facemeislapu? But please other "viewers" should say something. If you are for benz, come forward with ur points. If u are for mdx, dont cave in to intimidation from Ataspray.lol

Please help compare these two to inform my buying decision: Acura MDX vs ML350.

Points to consider:

Resale Value and how quick it gets sold once put up.

Maintenance cost.

Known issues.

Luxury, or which commands higher respect.

Any other metric u can think of.

Thanks
