Do You Know A Thing About Those Mini-buses Called Korope by Philipsdael(m): 1:07pm On Jul 16, 2013 |
minibus is that small bus that looks like a danfo but can only contain 7 persengers and a driver.... My fellow Nairalanders, which product of the minibus is recommendable?....how strong and durable is the minibus and is the sparepart available and easy tto get down here in Naija.....most importantly.... How is is the cost for a tokunbo clean minibus?... Am intending on resigning from my current company and use my pay off to buy the bus and run it for the main time till what am processing clicks so your knowledge abt the bus will be helpful and useful ... Thanks! 3 Likes

US-AutoBuy:gratitude i made a researched on "previa" and this's the pic i got.... (below).... Dont you think this Toyota-Previa will be too expensive and fragile to be used as commercial mini-bus.... Apart from that, the structure dosn't fit.... #just trying 2 examine it#

Re: Do You Know A Thing About Those Mini-buses Called Korope by USAutoBuy(m): 11:21pm On Jul 20, 2013 |
Buy this type of previa in the pic attached. Costs about N800k. (This one is actually available for sale) Rugged and highly popular. Its 4 cylinder engine. Good luck

Hmm if i have 800k i would have just go for a clean vanagon or volkswagen Danfo instead of a mini-bus. Maybe i'll snap the kinda mini-buses i've been seeing around mile2/festac/rainbow...... 1 Like 2 Shares |

When you say commercial, it really depends on where you want to be plying. These types of previa only work best in long distance journeys. Lagos - Akure, Lagos - Ilorin, Lagos to Abuja types of deal. If you are looking for the type of mile2, oshodi etc. You are better off with Vanagon and L28 types of bus. Look at where you want to be plying and buy the type of buses everyone else is using in the area. Much better. It will be easier to fix when you have a problem cos thats what everyone is using. Mind you, be prepared to pay between 700 - 800 for a Grade1 Vanagon bus. The only way you can get it cheaper is that if that has some issues or its not Lagos Cleared. You can get away with cotonue cleared if you are withing Lagos and will not venture out for a long time after registering the vehicle. But you never know. These customs people can be unpredictable at times but you can be prepared. That type of bus you pointed out in the beginning will not cut it anywhere. And i can bet you bottom dollar that it will be almost impossible to sell when you want to dispose it. And just to let you know, its will be more that N1m to buy brand new. You believe that. cos its small does not mean small price. No brand new bus in Nigeria will sell under N1m Good luck in your search. |

My question to you is this: How many have you seen on Lagos street for commercial purposes on the area where you want to ply? Are your 7 passengers not going to have load all the time? These types of vehicle is quite common in Osun State (Bedford Rascal, Suzuki Carry etc) But yet to see any on Lagos street for commercial purpose. I may be wrong tho |
Re: Do You Know A Thing About Those Mini-buses Called Korope by Philipsdael(m): 10:28am On Jul 22, 2013 |
US-AutoBuy:Yeah!!! These kinda buses are commonly found in other S.western states but furtunately, the bus now plys major route in Lagos just like the tricycles (keke napep).... The problem now is how much can i get it......and which brand or product is recommendable....? 1 Like |
Re: Do You Know A Thing About Those Mini-buses Called Korope by USAutoBuy(m): 11:27am On Jul 22, 2013 |
Not sure how much to get it for. However, you can get the Bedford Rascal. I have seen quite a few of those around and they seem to be strong. They tend to come mostly from the UK, hence you will have to convert. Conversion is not terribly expensive. Here is a picture of the Bedford Rascal below Good luck in your search. 1 Like
