pls are you a Uber/bolt driver can you plz put me through.

I'm considering going into Uber business after I finish school next year January. How much do I need to budget to get a car, and all expenses. My net worth currently is over 2m naira, I'm hoping to save more before January.

How much should I be aiming for. Thanks

Pearl1910:


Instead of selling the 2007 Toyota Camry as-is for 1.1m, I would rather fix it with 200k and sell for 2m or even 1.8m.
Even when distressed, try to keep a rational mind and think wisely.

CheerfulGiver:
resale value of corolla na scam.

A Tokunbo corolla is 2.6. Nigerian used is 1.5

900 minus

Tokunbo Mazda6/Mazda3 Is 1.6 Nigerian used is 850k

750 minus.

Who really lose?

Mad o... I bet non of his lecturer has ever given him such a valuable assignment ever b4

But its amazes me how our young graduates who are supposed to be thinking of how to become an entrepreneur or go further their education to become something great in life (for those who have the resource and sponsorship) are thinking of becoming a uber driver. I wont be surprised the king of the ant will advice the young man to buy a Corolla and start the hustle right away.

I just cant imagine with will become of this country in another 20yrs time.

After you finish school before service as stop gap or you want to drive as career? ...

You already have 2m as a student, you already richer than some uber drivers?
Unless you want to buy the car and give it out in rentals or HP and you won’t see your 2m naira again or see it in 2years.

That innoson connect looks like Korope with AC.. apart from the new car smell, the car looks frail and fragile.

That car doesn't have a second hand value, and you cant carry 3 people at the back to sit comfortably.

That car might be good for private use but I dont think it can withstand the pressures of Ehailling.

I could be wrong tho, but my 2cents.

Felicity0001:


Young man you should be busy doing your final year thesis and reading to have the best score in your final exams not reading from page 1 of the thread.

C"mon menh! You'll be a graduate in few months think big menh... There's no dignity being an uber driver bro... That 2m you say you have think of what to pump it into and in 5yrs you'll be standing with fellow CEOs rather than being an uber driver... You're still young, why the hurry to make money? You can even proceed for a master's degree with that money and if you search well you'll get scholarship to do your masters abroad and that money you have can help support as well... Save and add to that 2m you have... NYSC you can still save to make that money 3m... How much do you think you need to travel to UK or Canada?

2023 is just around the corner, the dollar will not for ever remain high and government policies will definitely change as soon as this government leaves.

Think! Think!! Think!!! Menh.

In case you come back with attack like one newbie did some pages back I'll just fold my hand and be laughing.

Peace.

Are you sure?
Bought a corolla as toks, used it for 3 years, had an accident with it as you can see, sold it for a higher price after fixing....
The only difference is that $ was 360 when I bought it and 480 when I sold it.....
So pls let's be logical sir.

Lekan239:
Wow. The pressure is that, there's no place or somewhere to fall back too if the money stop coming. I have not make up my mind fully on becoming a driver, to me 2m is still a very sum, though I still earn online, I'm just planning on what to venture on incase the earnings online stop coming

Thanks sir

Felicity0001:


You're 100% correct. na small tin him take big pass picanto.

No client will wants you to carry them on that car to Akure or Benin at all.

Most drivers wont make it pass 6months on Bolt to low rating... Is it not bolt riders that will want you to carry 6passengers with loads? Well it's uber shall so they may last longer but one thing is certain, most riders won't like it for a 2nd ride.

Lekan239:
having 2m sitting in a savings account doesn't translate to being rich. Uber drivers riding his own car is far away better and richer than I am. I'm planning to be a Uber driver using my own personal car. I have no interest in working 8-5pm for someone again unless it's multinational.

That price you quoted is current market price.

As of August 2020. Corolla 2006 toks was bought at 1.8m.

Currently naija used corolla 2006 grade is 1.3/1.45m. These are the ones they bought Probably 1.7 0r 1.8m and not 2.2m plus.

BAZ001:


You mean am? at the bolded.
Hmmm, Uber drivers have millions in there account.

You went to school for 4/5years only to graduate and want to be driving taxi?
You don’t need to go to school to drive Uber.
How long do you intend driving ?
Have you tot of relocating to do masters abroad , scholarship and with your 2M you will settle down before you get part time job.

The decision is yours Baba, come and taste the waters, experience will speak louder than words

You're allowing a low achiever advise you? If you listen to that nutcase, you'll end up using your money as firewood to cook. He has no out of the box ideas. Imagine saying there is no dignity in being an uber driver, but the same idiot refuses to stop driving the same uber.

What is he not telling you?

If you walk with wise ones, you'll become wise. If you walk with stupid ones, you fare badly. Always be guided. Read from first page before you make your decisions. Don't hand your life to someone who hasn't found his own. More like allowing a blind man lead you.

I never said I wouldn't do repairs. I said it wouldn't give me headache

A brand new engine, a brand new transmission, a brand new AC system. This won't give me worries for 18 months.

And you're getting it wrong with the bolded.

Nobody is looking for money to buy a new car after three years. The goal is to recoup my capital, which is still the money for a new car.

Don't downplay the economic benefits of Brand new Chinese vehicles. There is a reason GIG stopped buying Mercedes Sprinter buses and started using Chinese Knockoffs.

E get why

I'm offering you a busuness deal bro c'mon be grateful and stop being saucy.

Offer him 1.3m, fix it with 200k then sell for 1.8m... You will still count profit.
