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.

if you want to put it that way then you put like against like

Maintenance and parts cost, I agree.
That's why I decided to be 'civic' with them.

Just heard this news how true

Had a terrible experience today.
Picked this idiot guy from university road to "Lord Jesus estate around chevron....11200. My first trip this morning, on indrive.
When I got to the gate of his street, the flood was so much(picture attached) his house was just 2 houses away from the beginning of the gate. Pleaded with him that I can't enter cos the flood is kinda deep and my car is low. He insisted I must enter. The guys at the gate told me not to try to enter. They said all the cars parked outside the gate belongs to occupants of the estate. They park outside and use rain boot to enter.
There was a guy giving out rain boots for 1k. This idiot said if he will give the guy the 1k for the boot, then he would deduct it from the 11200. I refused and told him he would give me my complete money.

We dragged it for almost 20 mins. He started calling his people. So I felt threatened. I decided to call the police via the app. Immediately he had me reporting to the police, his friend abi brother that drove out from the estate with a high jeep, started saying; "the person you dey call police for, him papa na oga nla of police.....na you dem go lock for cell"

After much dragging, the guys at the gate started telling him to pay me my complete money and forget.....that he's bigger than this.
He eventually transferred my complete money, after wasting my time for 30 mins +

Meanwhile, I don't understand this big price margin on bolt and indrive. If I had gotten this trip on bolt, I guess it would have been 13400 or slightly above

Though, the estate street has a good flooring from the beginning to the end of the street, I think lack of free drainage is their challenge there. But you see these people we call riders ehn, some of them are inconsiderate and wicked.
You see how your street is flooded and instead of you to use your senses and be considerate, wickedness won't allow you.
Wetin dey come talk be say, shebi dem dey pay for the ride.
Wicked lots.
Sorry jare, baba.

Much respect, sir.

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...

Thanks boss. But as I don’t have other options I’m still keen on using what I have for now rather than doing rentals except I can get a Corolla for hired purchase. But sir with proper maintenance I should be good to go with my 05 eod although I have plans to change the engine as it consumes oil & emmits black smoke

Good afternoon guys.

Please is it advisable to buy a car with power steering ish?

Said car is Honda Civic 2008.
Going for 2.2M.
Also, is it a good buy?

Good morning guys.
So yesterday, I went with my mechanic to get this car. We left from Ifo Ogun state to Ikorodu.
He inspected the car and affirmed that the engine hasn't been tampered with and the gear was in good shape, although there were obvious exterior flaws which didn't matter to me and the automated dashboard wasn't working. We paid and took off, getting to Agege, the car broke down due to overheating and while at it, the gasket was burnt, the radiator wasn't good.
Some men helped push it to a mechanic workshop around (the mechanic with me came from Ogun state so apparently there's no way he could fix it without his tools).
The Agege's Kazeem charged 70k to change the gasket, fix these radiator, oil gauge stick because it's burnt and oil (engine oil and gear oil) just an extensive servicing though.

Now my questions are;
Seller is swearing that his car wasn't overheating hitherto.
1) is it my Kazeem's fault that he couldn't spot the overheating till it got that bad?
2) Car is parked at Agege and we are asked to return on Tuesday (I've paid for everything including even to fix the dashboard (37k). Who is to cover these expenses? Especially as the car didn't even follow me to my state let alone home? The seller or me?
3) is 37k not overcharged for a dashboard? (Asking for future's purpose not like I can get the money back.
4) We've scanned the car and it's alright save for the overheating. My confusion is, could the overheating (radiator was leaking water) have started few minutes of us driving from Ikorodu or it has most definitely been an issue before now? Abi my Kazeem is just an overrated idiot.

As long as all you guys did was to inspect and test drive, the problem has been there before. That car does no overheat any how unless the engine is running for a long time that is when you got to know, and I'm sure you people didn't keep the engine running for a very long time before you pay.

I've once driven same car from lekki to Iyanaoworo with traffic along Alexander without knowing my fans are not working and I didn't pay attention to the temperature gauge. It was when I was hearing boiling and whistling sound from the radiator reservoir that I got to know it's over heating yet nothing burn.

It's not your Kazeem's fault buying 9ja used car is a gamble. I hope the fault stops after fixing.

Also was your instrument cluster not working or it's blank that you guys couldn't see why it was overheating

Nawa oo, sorry my brother for these experience, but the truth is that when you want to buy naija used car, due diligence most be carried out because most Nigerian sell there car when it start giving them issues, and once money enter the seller hand otilo. Your mechanic should have insisted the seller fix the instrument cluster before going on with the purchase and i am sure he didn't even scan the car for codes. Most of these mechanic and car sellers are dubious, i remember when i want to get a Ford focus, the seller was signalling my mechanic to certify the car okay so that he can get his cut even if the car is not okay, and most of the mechanic fall for these. My advice you have already buy the car, just fix the gasket and every other thing and let's hope there's no any other underlying issues. You can still reach out to the seller, if he's a nice person, he might help.

My brother, you have bought problem o
God will help you on this one.



As for your mechanic not to see the overheating temperature before getting worst, it takes a very experienced driver (car user) to know when car is having high temperature, your mechanic didn't notice coz he wasn't paying much attention to the car movement and changes, as an experienced person, once the temperature is high, the first thing you will notice is, the car will start blowing heat if you were using AC or the car movement will become sluggish and that moment you observe any of those, you're to look at the dashboard for any possible sign.


I will hold the mechanic for letting the car got that bad..

I've missed my corolla so much, the fuel efficiency and the balance movement, anytime I use my corolla to work, it gives me more money with little fuel, imagine buying 5k fuel to get this and I still have little fuel that can make at least 5k inside the tank.

If it were to be the Ford, it can only make at most 20k and while the camry will try to make 17k.

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.

Pls
I'm looking for this same civic, should in case you get someone that has it for sale.

My budget is 2m max and everything has to be working fine...

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?

Wow, Made my first trip on In drive today.

Was fun. Nice beautiful rider.

Was a bit lost at the beginning, but rider and map helped. I relaxed and simply took over.

Thanks all for the generous tips. I spent 4 days eating up the pages on this thread to prepare me. Thanks again all.

pope191:


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?

only you Three cars.... Naso Dino take start....

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.

you are talking about Civic and I'm sure it's only the plug you change.... That was what I should have done when my car was submerged in water in one company I went for pickup.... After all and all the mechanic later changed the plug

He will knowingly open the door of the car inside the flood so water can enter inside the car ba

Now my questions are;
Seller is swearing that his car wasn't overheating hitherto.
1) is it my Kazeem's fault that he couldn't spot the overheating till it got that bad?
2) Car is parked at Agege and we are asked to return on Tuesday (I've paid for everything including even to fix the dashboard (37k). Who is to cover these expenses? Especially as the car didn't even follow me to my state let alone home? The seller or me?

Your kazeem is a novice because and you shouldn't have bought a civic without the dashboard working also when a civic is overheating the car will drag and they will be smell coming from the bonnet..... Sorry for your loss

Go scan your car to know what's causing high fuel consumption...
