Alegbojunction:nnamike786, this is a testimony from an actual owner who used the car for same Bolt/Uber business. If you're in Lagos, contact greatstephenho for anything Volkswagen parts and maintenance tips. I didn't recommend anything outside the two cars you mentioned because I don't know your pocket but I know this economy is funny. God bless your hustle bro 5 Likes 1 Share |

Which Good car can one get with a budget of 1.5m for bolt/uber use? |

harqinhola: That's an assumption based on emotive preference not proven. Go to Benin City, Edo state and ask the driver's why 80% of taxi are Audi and Volkswagen. Reliability,fuel economy and resilience finally most parts are OEM unlike Toyota where 90% of parts care cheap copies from all over the globe including Aba. 1 Like |

Op no mind people saying you should stay away from Germany car, the only German car i can vouch for is VW, Audi is a luxury version of volks, but pick VW, but but (note i repeat it twice) if you don't have specialist for VW, pls stay away, those cars are not for all mechanic, i use Golf 4 2002 model, the engine is be replaced but the car is still moving like nothing happens, since two years now,, which Toyota of it year can be strong like that. Don't listen to Toyota fan boys, they all worship Japanese plywood car. 1 Like |

I apologize for derailing from the above topic with the question I'm about to ask. I recently got a foreign used 2005 Toyota Corolla Wagon and I also heard wagons aren't acceptable for uber/bolt services...but there's also this rumor that a bypass can be acquired by proxy for wagons to be used {if they are 2003+}. I'm wondering if anyone here can help throw more light on this, please. Thanks. |

Have driven audis and vw most of my life here in Nigeria, and while they are joy to drive, i won't advise you to pick up one for your uber, these cars are cars that require a lot of care, if your getting the car new fantastic, however, i assume its going to be used, finally VW and Audis are not cars that any auto repair person can just fiddle around with you need guys that understand the car (in Lagos that would be at itire), when i say auto repair i mean a good rewire (u will need it) and a mech that understand how to scan and diagnose the cars error codes. If your however set on your purchase, I'll advise getting a trusted person who knows about the car to check the car, that you get an odb2 tool for scanning, that you get a tool set and watch a lot of youtube videos about the model your looking to get. Love VW's And Audis have had a total of 3 over 9 years and getting another soon, like i said great cars but you have to be ready to put in the work, not just drop it off at a mech and expect not to understand the car fully 2 Likes |

I do not know of Lagos but in Abuja if you are going for any European car for bolt/Uber, I will advise to buy Peugeot 307 with 1.6l engine,manual shift. Everything about the car is superb compare to all these Toyota cars. Also the spare parts far cheaper than Corolla being used. 4 Likes |

chiefoboh1: Your best bet based on your budget is Nigerian used Corolla city or civic. You can get ones registered few months with the engine not over flogged. Check jiji, and Facebook marketplace. |

peeps4u:so can golf 4 run Uber? |
Re: Volkswagen Or Audi For Uber Driving? by peeps4u: 10:01am On Apr 10, 2022 |
Blastedholligan: Yes it can, as long as it is 2003 upward and has 4 doors. However, some riders might find it small and give you low rating but if the car is neat and that's what you have at present and want to give ehailing a try, car size shouldn't really be a problem, go ahead. Good luck |

RoadMozart:I'm not sure... Just visit any of their inspection centers... But using C180 may not be economical for bolt... You need cars with 1.6cc engines that do not drink to much fuel to maximize profit... |

What is your take on the golf 4 sir? Is it good for bolt? Golf 4 is good for uber especially if the engine is 1.6l or 1.4l. It's a durable car and parts a cheap 2. Most guys get there car maintenance advice from quacks. For example before starting my car every morning I check my oil level, d reason I do this is if I have a damage sump during my journey the previous day, I will be aware of the issue before starting the engine. Once I noticed a low level I instantly know something is wrong. This advice alone has save 3 of my guy engine. The advice look simple but how many car owners follow it. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Oyerinde16:actually it is. a friend uses a w203 c180 Kompressor for bolt. although it is in Benin and he shares a screenshot of his profit. he makes good money with it. I cant say about Lagos though. if the engine is kept in good health then there is a high chance of enjoying it for e-hailing 1 Like |
