The fact the you might have had a bad experience in the line of ehailing business does not give you the right to discourage other please. Hard working people are still making good money daily, collecting and finishing HP and even serious drivers saving up to get their own cars so please if you were not lucky or smart enough abeg na your own don't just jump in to discourage someone like that without even sharing the experience you had. ✌

It's like saying our parents bought brand new cars for N2000 N3000 in the '80s. u think it was easy to get N2,000 that time? The middle class monthly salary was between N50 and N100 that time. So same thing goes now.
Like Tojah has said it's has always been difficult for an average man in every generation. But this our generation, Even rich man they collect wotowoto.

Itsrm:


Some were implying that Bazoo must have lied.

My argument is that, there is nothing special with an everyday salary earner buying a 2007 camry in 2012. Back then a lot of people were even buying brand new cars.

People are equating it with buying a 2017 car in 2022 but it's not the same.

Viking07:
[/b]You are very correct. It is not the same. Life was good. Things were affordable back then. Naira had value, not now wey 1 dollar is almost 800 naira.

tojahh:


Baz001

Are you saying as at 2012, you were already using a Toyota Muscle of 2008-2011?

10yrs ago from now is 2012. Let us know because as Deedee4 take send our business mogul to a land of no return. I wouldn't want any Lamba here if not na to pay your friends for a 6 page exposé of you straight up.

Impossible is nothing.

I sold it at 156,000miles after 10yrs and car still better pass all d lemon limca Dru23 kweku is shipping to Nigeria.
Who will buy tokunbo car of 150,000 miles in 2012
APC change has changed our mindset to 10yrs back

Itsrm:


You will be surprised how much those vehicles were sold in 2012. Anyone with a decent income at the time can easily buy them. Most people with above average salaries were even buying brand new cars at the time. Tokunbo na for people like Bazoo wey no too get money. Not now that only politicians buy brand new cars.

See these threads for instance.

which year is yours and to get the fixing of the belt properly search YouTube and insist your kazeem follows the step, that was how mu kazeem got the settings of my belt but now the adjuster issue we dey now especially the threading on the engine which makes the adjuster bolt not fit in well...

tojahh:


In 2012, 2.450 is like our 4.550 today.

It wasn't an easy feat. Not taking anything away from Baz001 statement but there was never a time Nigeria was great. Every hardship comes with their respective decade.

There are loads of information on nairaland. You just need to use the search button. This should help

sandammy:

Na so bro,
I completely removed mine and used another size of belt. I know it's an abuse but my car has no choice than to endure it.The adjuster is an idle one and the stress of the belt usually damage it after short period of time most especially where it is bolted to the engine.
I don't see any correlation between what cornner44 is saying and it's removal. I might be wrong though.

how much have u made so far since you started driving Uber.

FASASI1:



Maybe he did it for few weeks and he couldn't handle it.
Life is challenging, starting new things, business or learning new skills is challenging, even the so called I.T that's now the new oil is very challenging but we just have to motivate ourselves. I watched a video of a female Danfo driver that said she makes 300k monthly, do you think it was that easy when she started Nigeria is built to frustrate everything but if you don't find a way to keep paddling your canoe you will be submerged.

There is almost nothing you will experience that someone else has not experienced before and has documented on nairaland.

The travel section is so filled with wealth of information. You don't even need to read all the hundreds of pages. Just follow the threads and in one month, you would have gotten more than enough knowledge.

Abeg them dey catch cruise for there too.

Since you asked nicely I'll be truthful. Just like any other business it wasn't easy but my interest in driving and expanding to a proper travel and tour logistics biz kept me going cos I lost HP agreements along the way due to personal family issues and bills as well and then I took my last HP a Nigerian used 05 camry for 2m and I finished paying after Covid19 saga did so many travel and tour with the car, sold it and since have bought and sold corolla car twice and I'm still driving my personal banktype car right now even though i intend to change to muscle asap cos of my travel and tour clients. So baba, I know 2 guys that collected HP in ibadan bolt and when it didn't work well for them dey came to Lagos and av since finished paying for a Honda City 010 and a corolla 06, I know another 2 men that collected corolla 05 and 09 2years ago at my park on Lagos island at 2m Nigerian used and 3m toks respectively and both just finished the payment last month and this month, so baba may be you should come around me make i introduce you to this people wey i dey talk make you confirm say no be zobo.
Nigeria is not a country one can just back down or give up, fine if you have other means you can always do 2 to 3 biz, bobody said you must do one business and we all know this business is not as profitable as it is in other developed countries but it still dey pay bills and more it all depends on how disciplined you can be. One thing I've discovered from "sarewas" like i always like to call people like you is that you know like to non abt the biz and even if you do lil visibility studies you really don't have interest in driving, and with a city like Lagos it take far more to sure in any business at all, so in a nut shell the interest has kept alot of us going till now and we still they make money o.
Ire o!

You will be very lucky to escape buying a new transmission.

What I just want to add is, if and when it is confirmed the transmission is faulty, do not listen to anyone who tells you to repair it. Just replace it and be done with it.

It will cost you money but you'll have rest of mind.
