And pryyay to God that in the next few months that you dont come to nairaland complaining.. And the complain usually starts like this ..

Car Owner: Please nairaland, I need your help.. My corolla that I bought short oil

Nairaland: how much oil does it short and is there any leaks

Car Owner: There is no leaks anywhere, and I had normally top the oil every 2k miles

Nairaland: check the exhaust for smoke ,white smoke or blue smoke .

Car Owner: I have check there is no smokes at all

Nairaland: check the pcv valves

Car owner : have check the pcv valves and it seems ok

Nairaland: what oil have u been using

Car Owner : have been using 20w50 ,but let me check with the previous owner.

Nairaland: plz check o

Nairaland: but the oil cap said 5w30 is the rite grade

Car Owner: where can I buy 5w30..

Nairaland: we have oyel sellers in the forum cc: dru23,myparts, radauto ,Gazzuzz

Nairaland: well your mechanic is rite . You need a new engine



Car Owner : car I buy for 1,350,000 and it needs new engine . already . I thought Corolla na strong car .

dru23:


Just because someone said so... try to think outside the box bro.. Na because someone said so...yes Toyota is reliable no doubt ..but they are others cars out there more cheaper and equal to the task ....since the crazy hype over corolla regular maintenance is very much ignore... like basic oil change or use of wrong grade oil .. People will say na Toyota ,it is rugged just buy oil and put and drive ......

If you ask Dru23 or tojahh, they'll tell you why a civic is a great car, and why you should use it

I have driven a corolla, an elantra and a Camry on ehailing and I'm yet to see the peace of mind a corolla gives, that others haven't given me. I only wanted to learn, but then, the bolded seems to be your only reason for saying that....

I'll just search for my findings then

pope191:
why not blow to straight to ogba,and take the next u turn before excellent hotel...All your rider can do is to rant.

I'm yet to see any traffic police in Lagos like the ones in omole to Berger, those Berger traffic police r just cooperate beggers. I was aheading towards Ikeja from omole, the queue on d main lane is long enough so I join d second lane driving slowly, before I know they jumped out from dia cubicle, d guy in front blow straight to ogba and I was with a rider, so they land in my front, rider didn't waste time he opened the door with an excuse of being in rush, the police woman took advantage of that and entered the car "Oga to the office'... Before I knew it, a man came down from his car and start snuggling out with them, I've done nothing, he took it soh personal to the point of snapping them, this lead to physical assault. I wasn't even aware of all this as I was still battling with the lady calling towing van cos I refused to follow her order, on my part I'm placing calls to my connection as well, while the man and the other officer have dragged each other to area G. When its all said and done, they can't let me go due to the case becoming an assault and they need me as a witness, so I was referred to the station instead of lasma office, from 10am, it took me 1.30pm to leave as they detained the man and made me to deny him if we are not accomplice, I felt bad, but at the same time felt the man blew things out of proportion. Las las the lady was begging me and ask me to exercise patient cos DPO is involved in the case, I was just looking at her like " I don't care". At the end I drop 3k willingly when leaving since they ask for atall stall.

Gentlelife50:

Oga abeg park, which one is if they are tokunbo or not.
Why are you always speaking for everybody?
Are you the only car owner that started with Uber?
I am telling you something I know and you are here arguing, what concerns the owner with maintenance again on HP arraignment? Huhh?

Pls all this drivers coming here to say rubbish about how much u make and bragging u hit 150 a week, when we know it’s Loki and Saka u are using to defraud ur riders... pls
stop that nonsense....

And partners pls before you think all drivers are wasting your time and investment because u have seen Jesusson2020 and co weekly income so u think your driver is lazy pls I will advice u enter road for one week drive by urself if u can make profit of 50k with ease without Loki then come here and brag...

This work is getting tougher and tougher cus everyone is on it... Uber and taxify are fighting to get customers so they are reducing their fares everyday... roads are bad, traffic is crazy, rain and all sort affecting the business, drivers are getting robbed and even killed by thief’s, fatigue killing drivers too.... all sort is happening... how can u buy car 2001 - 2004 and expect ur driver to give u no stories...

Yes all business have their own issues, so that is why u shouldn’t expect too much and kill ur driver cus he is not meeting target.

So many drivers mess up we know... but soo many partners are greedy.

Give me 2007 and above Corolla direct tokunbo for rent or hp and tell me to give u 30k I will deliver.. no stories

or give me a clean direct tokunbo 2005 - 07 sienna I will deliver ur 150 per month. No stories....

Don’t just invest based on what u see on internet... do visibility studies look the risk and take calculated risk....

northbird:
Good one boss. Clarification is not for those who are in the know, but for those who might see 100k plus and assume that its a given to make such when you are on the taxify platform.

northbird:
That's your revenue ( your gross before deductions). Pls post the net . this ( the net) is the actual cash that gets to you.

deedee44:

Gentlelife50:

Frank0001:

Thanks Boss.. the matrix & Pontiac 03 model tokubo are in what price range?

Frank0001:
Please to all the chairmen in the House your advice is highly needed here.. I intend getting a car when my budget is big enough.. aside from Toyota Corolla which is the most used on this business due to its flexibility nature that has skyrocketed the price... which other cars brand can you all recommend that have the followings
1. Catalyst & milleage.. Note I don’t really know what those terms means
2. Parts are relatively affordable & easy to get
3. can last for a longer period of time
4. Consumes less fuel
5. Strong engine
Your suggestions & opinions are all welcome. Thanks

When next you're going there, don't forget a bottle or two of Orijin. Listen to me... Don't you ever forget it. You'll thank me later.

But no lele, Baba is a blessing to Lagos car owners.

franksam2009:
all I see here is rudeness, stupidity and senselessness.
She was been nice from the beginning, but you are too aggressive and pouring out your frustration at her.
And Neva force someone to dash you his/her change, u are supposed to hv change with you (that's y riders prefer bank transfer cos drivers like you feels dey are entitled to people's change)

Megadrop:
That's totaly untrue and I know what I am saying. You are too proud and its making you forget a lot of things that you have posted on this thread but the internet still never forgets. With all these promises how come nobody on this thread has come up to say that yes he is driving ur car? Start working the talk!

jesusson2020:


You guys have forgotten Uber is charging 3%.

So if I make 10k Uber only get 300naira. So u keep mentioning how I gross 13k I was just tired of replying u. Yes I use 1500 fuel I bought in the morning to make 10k. Izzou ur car is camry, mine is corolla.

Yesterday I have 5k net, after my rental fee, gave 5 beggers 100naira each. My food cost 350 each this time,[b] bc of extra meat.[[color=#990000][/color]/b] My broda I will always thank God.

Xneg:
How do you politely tell a rider that they need bodyspray, I picked a young lady this morning and the body odour almost killed me and unfortunately for me she sat in front seat. Please share if you have any any experience.

GAZZUZZ:
so I came down from the fence and decided to give one of us a try, he will be driving this, let's wish him good luck.

Cc: members on the fence and other side of the fence.

franksam2009:
why please explain why,. And how can one differentiate 4 wheel from 2 wheel

coalcoal1:


Thanks

What about Toyota Yaris?

coalcoal1:
Hello House,
Please, I need advice. I am torn between buying a Toyota Corolla 2005 and Matrix 2005 Tokunbo. Which one is a better choice and why? Thanks
Secondly, are there other car options that I can also consider for this business that are especially fuel economical and durable?

GAZZUZZ:


There will be no battles this yearn my lubricants are bought in bulk and available round the year. Sadly I can tell you that most drivers on this thread do not use full synthetic oils, and those that do cannot afford to buy the good brands I offer. There are 26 regulars from this thread who I see every 5weeks, and that is sufficient for me.

Cutthbert:
I am currently done with my driving lesson, I'm now praying to God to send me someone who will assist me financially In getting my driving license and get me along In this wonderful business. I want to be more productive this coming new year. May God continue to grant u all Journey mercies to and fro. May God continue to bless u and your family abundantly. Amen. I'm wishing u all a peaceful, wonderful, prosperous merry christmas and a happy new Year.
