Why?

Mukah1234:
Hello team,

I have been a keen follower of this thread (lowkey) for sometime now. Please I need your advise.

I’m interested in ehailing but the major challenge has been getting a car or the money to buy a car. I tried getting HP but couldn’t get something reasonable so I decided to save up the cash and buy a car instead.

Before now my savings amount goal was 1.5m for a foreign used Honda Civic 07/08; I use to see this on JIji sometime last year.

Now I am ready and have been able to save this amount but I can’t find a foreign used of this car for 1.5m anymore and already settling for naija used.

Please advise on other alternative to a foreign used Honda Civic 07/08 or what to look out for in getting a Nigerian used vehicle.

Thank you

I don't have to (maybe in a closed group), I know it but I don't use it. I have close guys that use it and proving it may cast it.

I have no middle men and am direct with the manufacturers you know that right? But forget my price. It is that price for a purpose. Let's look at what retail in the USA is. Liqui-moly is a lot more expensive than Mobil so how is it being sold in Nigeria for the same or less?

EDIT: You know what, I take it back. Easy to sell cheap when it fell off the back of a truck.

What brought about the recent gba gobs?

You should be the one that needs understanding to get my posts. This is an open forum where different things are discussed, have you ever seen any thread where bankers, engineers, architects, doctors... discussed about the wages?

There are so many threads hitting the homepage asking about how much certain jobs earn but you will hardly see any from those sectors talk about how much they earn, not to talk about posting screenshots of their pay studs.

But the day uber drivers earnings was asked on homepage, the recent motivator was quick to post his earnings on the topic that HIT THE HOMEPAGE.

radautoworks:
liqui-moly is a high end oil. Anything under 30k for liqui-moly is suspect tbh. Engine oil is a low margin, high volume commodity. Do the math. This is retail without Nigerian customs wahala and/or shipping so how are they selling it in Nigeria for $32?

tunlapapa:
Going through his posts shows he is not into e-hailing but wants earnings to be posted.

These are the types that are most likely to way-lay drivers at weekends after studying earnings and saw that they make money at weekends.

Since it's an open forum, why have those in PROFESSIONAL FIELDS not posted their earnings for the world to see, yet the so called professional drivers are excited making earnings that don't improve as you spend more of your life in it.

radautoworks:
liqui-moly is not a cheap oil so when I see it being sold for 16k....

My brother I don think am, think am, think am.
How did it get to this level ? We do normal gbas gbos and everyone laugh about it and move on.
But, this is going way too far.

CheerfulGiver:
Premium tears.

Motivated people have been messaging me privately and I've been correcting their mistakes. Print this needless gibberish "advice" you posted to me, roll it up carefully, and shove it up your arse.

Stupid advisers like you full this thread. Telling people it can never be done. Thankfully, I don't take advise from idiots. E get why I directly mentioned Kanuisagoat. Like minds. I wish I could post on another thread where I can avoid interacting with classless fucktards_ such as yourself, and only interact with people who want to push themselves and change their narrative. But alas, I'm stuck with posting on this thread and everytime I do, insecure doofuses like you will always have something stupid to say to me.

You can't stop me from posting. If you like, type a novel. Look at this directionless imp spending his money on strangers telling me what to do with my own money. Are you mad?

Avoid me. Cheers.

Neither does it change the fact that you're a thumb sucking fucktard_

yommytino:

We all know that the prices of corolla and matrix are over hyped. But your purchase price was part of the reason why you didn't gain much on the corolla. That 500k makes a lot of difference in the profit.
I bought my 2007 corolla last year january for 1.8m. And if I'm calculate how much have spent on repairs. Then, the corolla value is worth it.
Pearl1910 has once said it here before which I agree with him that getting non-problematic cars is a luck

DeleTheD:
@Ghost.
I still don't understand the reason behind selling a civic in good working condition for a volvo, and at the same time advising people to go for the civic.

shollywendy1:
You got a wrong figure in the calculation because you bought the corolla at a very high price that time. Corolla used to be btw 1.5 - 1.7 as against 2.2m you bought it.
Please recalculate using the average market value of corolla that year compare to the amount you sold it off, then you will understand which one is better.

AOB1:
bro how much did you bought the S40 and please can you help us with some pictures of the interior of the car because due to your analysis some of us are interested

flam5:
Bro, you can't win argument with corolla guys. I suggest you make your detailed point and move on. You don't know how many people you have touched with your content.

Pearl1910:
The Corolla:
In 2017, a 2006 Corolla went for between 1.5m to 1.8m max for the highest grades. So pardon me, I am Just surprised u bought yours 2.2m.

The Civic:
For a car to be fit for ehailing, I suppose it is still in good condition; engine, transmission, ac, interior, body and other functionalities...if so then N530k is quite cheap for a buy and drive 04 civic, considering how much cars go for nawadays. Hence I asked for full disclosure.

The Volvo:
Like I said, drive the car for 1yr on ehailing then u do review. Ruggedity and receptivity to stress, quality and durability of parts, cost and frequency of change, ease of problem solving etc...so far what u know is purchasing cost and fuel consumption...

In this business, I think cost of startup is less important than cost of running/maintainance, let's not even talk about second hand value and ease of liquidation. However, we have to consider all 3 factors before establishing which car is best for the job.

Pearl1910:
Manual or automatic?

Pearl1910:
Which year of corolla did u buy for 2.2m in 2017?

Secondly, u have to drive ur Volvo for minimum 1yr on ehailing before u can really compare it with the Corolla and Civic that u already have a first hand experience with.
Until then, it may be erroneous/misleading to paint a picture of the Volvo S40 being good enough or better than corolla/civic.

Still wondering why u sold an 04 civic without issues for 530k in this 2021. Full disclosure please. Or did u do give away?

ksmart027:
What year is your s40?

ehmmy11:
now this is original peace of mind what year sir ?
