I wish the guy can take this your advice seriously..... that was how I got a Nigerian used corolla around May this year for less than a million naira. Before two months, the engine and gear packed up..... Only if I had listen to Gazzuzz, I wouldn't have been in a such a mess
You can see I already considered buying an engine & transmission with the option. Anyways, I'm taking my time

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. grin grin grin grin cheesy

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.
Thanks for the advice.
I don't really like HP cos of its excessive interest. Would have preferred to borrow the 1m directly & pay 20% interest within a year.
On saving more, that seems unachievable right now (unless I carry money go play Nairabet)

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.

For drivers ranting about quitting Uber for a salary job, there's is vacancies section on Nairaland why are you not visiting? The best way to get a job is through e hailing. You drive a lot of people daily & meet new influential people with top positions. If I really need a salary job, I'll always have copies of my credentials in folders ready just in case!!!
I've had a glimpse of hailing biz long before Uber (2009)but things were really difficult then cos every trip is offline and reference is the only way to get more trips. It is all easy now.

Do you know when people on salary start preparing for the day? Do you know when they return home daily? Do you know how much they spent on transportation? How much time do spent weekly in holdups? There's no freedom!!

Truth be told, 99% of car owners(driving themselves) here will reject a salary job below 300k
Business › Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by timilehing(m): 7:11am On Jul 14, 2018
On this issue of e hailing profitability
.
Sincerely, no business is as profitable as it was before but whatever the case, we still all depend on it for a living. Car owners here are saying a guy shouldn't quit a 180k job for Uber but the same car owners will not give out their car below 35k/week (140k/month) how much will the driver earn weekly? 5k? Drivers will prefer the old ways of driving Madam upandan Lagos (min driver pay is 45k/month).
Every business has its own way, while some are backing out, others are joining. It's all about your "approach & survival plan"
HP rate in Lagos was 100k/monthly (& still is for dealers without uber knowledge) but here, the minimum you can get is 200k/month with crazy fee. Why? Because we both know there's money in the biz.

Scaring people away from a particular business to prevent saturation doesn't work please!!!
