For peace of mind, kindly stay away from those Camry v4. 2007 to 2010 v4 are factory defects are notoriously known to short oil.. Especially if you are going to be using it for uber. It will require daily anointing of oil to top it every morning. Failure to do that will kill the engine.......

Now failure to follow advice, And decide to use it and people tell just use thicker oil 20w50 for the oil burn. You will end up spending more money for topping the oil . 20w50 engine oil is around 9k naira. And an uber driver covers at least 2k miles a month and 20w50 will need more frequent oil change, and failure to change oil will lead to sludge engine. Either way avoid it .. The driver that are using it now on uber are on a time bomb. It is a matter of time before the car breaks down

Hmm mm mm mm mm thanks Dru

I’ve been using Mobil xhp Since d day my low mileage Camry landed in Nigeria.
At some point I changed to Mobil Semi synthetic oil, but quickly changed back to xhp based on advise from here and then shortly after Mobil stop producing it.

Dt Camry is as rugged as Corolla...

Today being dey do me somehow o

Don't Panic...I repeat, do not Panic. If you did, dem go use you chop
bad cops full over there: idimu, isheri, ipaja, ipaja-ayobo...

Now what does the rule says about engine replacement?sadly, I really do not know

Now...dem go shout: "we go impound your vehicle". " Na alausa we go carry am go bla bla bla..."

No enter one inspector office go dey negotiate bribe ó,or dey write one yeye statement inside one separate office. if the amount is reasonable enough and you can part with, you fit roger them. But if not...

Insist, them book you on the counter, open file, submit car key

The bold statement above, dem no dey like am at all. That's what I always do ó. They realise, next thing nah court matter, which they don't always like and DPO won't want to go through such yeye stuff. Mind you, Police officers are always on road for a particular(specific) reason which the DPO should be aware of ó and its always being stated and time bound e.g 0800hours - 1100hours:

They are on look out for robbers. Anything contrary to such, is illegal worku.
except the car was reported stolen, then that changes the narrative.

Have gone through this at ipaja ayobo police station...they wasted my time...I no mind....na DPO leave me last last, dem say I too get stubborn head. I insisted make dem open case file for me, book me on counter and charge me to court.

Aluta spirit no dey finish ó....

Okay no vex
I was trying to meet target.
You know I manage my time well by being selfish. I work hard now and socialize later.

I use the Camry and as far as I’m concerned there is no difference with Corrolla, it’s rugged and cheap to maintain just like any Toyota.
Security and police won’t know you are Uber unless jazebel daughter seats at d back.

But make sure u don’t buy a lemon Limca Camry.

I used to have a very good friend there. However, after Endsars, he warned me not to call him for cases where the suspect is guilty, cos he nearly lost his life to Endsars protests last year. So he has stopped giving assistance. Infact, if I call him now he will insist on due process angry

He say where i dey live, i say igando
Living alone, i say no me and my mama.
He say where i see money buy muscle, i saved it while in school and my family assist me. And i wan put am for uber.
He say him wan go search my house, i say i’m ready. Naso them ignore me, hold my car keys. I just sit down for the building entrance dey listening to different cases wey no concern me.

After like 3 to 4 hours dem call me say make i enter office, dem scope me to give them something. I told them i’ve got nothing cos na inspection i dey go for and them don make me miss appointment already. They gave me my key and docs told me to go.

They see say i no even feel bothered, so far i no steal car no shaking. This happened in 2016.

Dead on arrival.
GT offers 1.33% monthly and you are here with over 13% monthly interest.
I think it's still okay.
If I understand the post correctly, you can borrow 100k today and pay back tomorrow with interest of just N600 so the longer it takes to repay the higher the interest. Besides it's not everybody that qualifies for GT loan and many of those that qualify won't get up to 100k

The truth is that no matter how beautiful and newer your car is, riders doesn’t really care. All they want is get them to their destination safely and your AC is intact.

I once drove a 2016 elegant Corola sport, I only got 1 offline for a month using the car. But I do get steady offline with my 04 Corolla.

Have come to realize this that if possible bolt/Uber can reduce the year of cars, I’ll go for Corola, Toyota Echo, bmw year 2000 at least for cheaper maintenance.

Naija road no Dey even encourage anybody to get better cars.

Attached below are the best fuel economy vehicle of the year 2000-02
