I would rather go for a big daddy without thinking twice, instead of going for these archaic cars that look like ancient rides all in the name of trying to invest small capital to recoup in short time.
I can't go for these types if I had 4m for hand.
These cars you screenshot no suppose dey expensive like that, wetin dey do the sellers of those cars nah?
They're overpriced, abeg.

Much respect, sir.

Baba dey production date of those cars started from 2000 and ended in 2005, that's why it might look old, but trust me is the best for this hustle. I having been using mine for almost five years, i onced have the 2006 model, but i choose to retain this one due to the rugedity and fuel consumption .The big daddy you are referring to is also a old car because production date started from 2002 and ended 2007, in a developed country, all these cars we use here wouldn't be accepted on e hailing platforms. The parts of that Civic is still cheaper than the Corolla or big daddy. Pope mentioned the engine is 280k compared to Corolla which is almost a million. Much respect baba.

I agree to the prices of the parts. The civic parts are way cheaper.
But my annoyance na the price tag from the screenshot you posted.
They're overpriced nahhh.
Well, na profit be the koko sha.

Much respect, sir.

Abeg, how much mallam dey buy dollar?

Special shout out to Blackbishop. My car shut down inside Agungi water at Lekki 2 days ago. Dude was very helpful to get the car start even though he was not with me. We were having calls back and forth, telling me what to do.
He saved me from the quack mechanic at Agungi.

He nearly turned me to a mechanic Now I have my own plug spanner

Thanks bro.

Many things can be the issue boss. Why not scan the car?

I’ll say go for Corolla, not because of the business, but return on when you are about to sale the car. Inbetween small man, small problems. Big man, big problems.

Omoapena:


Which car is that pls..

Honda civic.

The last car I’ll use for this hustle is big daddy. There’s a reason they call it big for nothing. I have both Hyundai and 08 civic. The Hyundai is a sweet ride, but won’t leave profit for luxury. I no come count bridge for Lagos. I use the 08 civic once in awhile, but went back to the 04. 08 seems to consume less gas, but can never match the strength of 04. I fix my 04 by myself. The car know me and I know the car. When you car becomes your best friend is one of the best gift.

Initially I thought I’ll have issues with riders due to the size, I realized having the best car without AC is a recipe for insults from riders. Keep your car clean and ac pumping? Then you are good to go. Lot of Toyota peeps that are stuck right now and find it hard to fix car. Engine 1 million nah play?

Pearl1910:


Naira is dead... See junk cars priced at 2.5m
Which way Naija

Boss is this you being fair? How much do you expect the car to be sold for? I have seen people price my car silly and I just laugh. Not like I put it up for sale. They’ll just look like, you’ve been using this car forever, sale and upgrade now. Oya let me give you 650k. I’ll smile. That 650k the novice is taking small car worth is the return that same car can return in 3 weeks. Whos the big f**l here? People should learn the value of something, before shooting off.

When I bought mine, the person add 350k to buy Corolla, I saw the so clean Corolla. What did I see here? He’ll sell the Corolla 3.5 today with a variance of above 1.7 million, but you think the Civic should not add beyond 200k difference. Please what’s the hype in Corolla? Go check car today and see the Corolla they will be calling 3.6 last., nonsense and tapped engine everywhere. You can’t even see me inside Corolla. Nigerians make me dislike that car with passion. If I am using Corrolla, know it’s for the resale value. Engine move from 450 to 1m…. I pity for some drivers atimes, robbers keep aiming them as well. You can’t even have Corolla as a private car again.

I fit get the luxury and profit in one, baba.
I guess the reason you dey reject Big Daddy na the engine cost.
And dem Don dey call am big for nothing since when its engine was less than 300k self, so, dat one no even beat am.
Yeah, I consider exterior and interior luxuries, the reason I no fit hold 4m for hand and go for civic 04.
When I pull up in front of riders, I need that nice appreciation facial expressions from them. Enter my car and appreciate the interior, even if u no talk am out.
And when I just go out, or to an event, make I feel myself small wth my big daddy.
I just feel say person wey get 4m for hand should be able to get himself something that would give him a lil sense of class as an Uber driver, and big daddy go give you that + the profit that's the major.
Some people with shinkini maintenance responsibilities self dey find it hard to sort themselves, so, wetin we come dey talk?
If your tool be the one wey im parts are lil bit pricey, you go dey serious with your tool and hustle.
Well, I dey talk based on say if na me ni sha.

Much respect, boss. 🙌

Omoapena:


Wow, you made this with 15k fuel keh?


I make roughly 55k with 15k fuel using my Ford and with my camry, maybe 45k with 15k fuel.


What car do you drive

I drive Corolla 06. Pls what ford is that. Normally tho I make -60 65k but that day prices were better I guess surge.

There is nothing luxurious about big daddy, the car is just bland and spacious that's all, that why is called big for nothing , here in rivers state, it's mainly used in transporting kpofire( illegal refined crude) due to spacious trunk. Anyway as the say, every mallam to his kettle. No offense meant baba.

Yeah. It even looks less attractive self, agreed.
But between 04 civic and 04 big daddy, which one looks more luxurious?
If dem give you both to pick one, which one you go pick?
Oya, resale value nkó? Which one would go bring more money to you when you want to sell both and which would go first?

Much respect, sir.

😂 This your analysis look more like Oluwole.
1. Big Daddy look more luxurious no doubt

2. If them give me both, definitely my choice depends on yardsticks... Like Pope, I will choose profit over luxury given all facts. Maintenance and what they're both meant for. As we agree they're tool for work, I won't be taking recognition of pulling up in a Pax house so they can smile at my car. Pax wey no go stay pass 4hrs max inside the car? Whatever place your luxury will take you to, the 04 will do same.

3. Resale value is even a shot on the big Daddy's leg. After 4 years I buy my Civic 2.5m you buy your luxury 4m. You will sell at 3.5-4m while I sell at 2-2.5m. Nobody loses at any end. Nowadays ... Resale value na for people wey buy their cars from 2013 - 2022. Na them go see real value after sales.


But not taking away the need to appear recent in a long vehicle to onlookers after all, all na whyning na who panic lose

Good evening guys..


Is an EOD good to go in this hustle?

I recently moved back to Lag and I'm rearing to go. But I no too sabi road like that.

Also in addition, my friend who we be together use in-drive, but from what I have read here, Uber is most preferably for a new person.

I just need the general advice and OT to quickly settle and make money in this hustle.

Also, I no too sabi road. Any tips on that?

Advice please. I’m currently in this shoe. But in Abuja 🙏🏾

Jakpajohnss:

Advice please. I’m currently in this shoe. But in Abuja 🙏🏾

As a mechanic, EOD is not ideal but usable for the hustle. For a starter go for a car that won't give you high blood pressure or when it has a fault at your starting stage you won't run into debts for repairs.

I will go with Civic on this.... just a piece...

Why u dey allow Civic boys whyne u. Everybody knows Civic 05 and Big for nothing are not in the same level.
Big for nothing still big pass the senior brother of 05 Civic.
All they are saying is that, Civic is better for ehailing based on affordability, fuel economy and cost of maintainance.
