Boss I totally agree with you

Me just drop my 2cents incase anyone wants to buy a car for this work. Also, the second hand value of a corrolla is higher than all this brands you mentioned sir.

franksam2009:
the only thing I regret doing so far is buying a corrola, I can't sleep peacefully at night without checking outta the window even though I live in secured estate lol, I can't park anywhere or anyhow I want, you dare not park a corrola outside a bar or club, I hv multiple alarm and lock systems on the car, omo I'm definitely porting to dru23 soonest make I rest oo

timilehing:
You're funny. Ask carshopper why he prefer buying expensive Optima over Camry in Auction. I don't use my car for Uber or Bolt, I use as private chauffeur and clients are well pleased with the luxurious interior.

Olahevan:
KIA get AC pass Corrolla. Media System self.
Corolla Engine na 250k
No KIA (block engine) pass 160k.

izzou:


The engine of a Kia Rio is cheaper than that of a corolla
The engine of a civic is cheaper than that of a corolla
The engine of Ogun.vic's Peugeot is cheaper than that of a corolla

You can find out if you like

eherbal:
are these toys as rugged and durable?

Carshopper:



CONFIRMED....

2011 Kia Optima for sale

AND

2012 Kia Optima .... A stunner anyday

izzou:


I can't speak for a Peugeot.... But for a civic, elantra and Rio.... I ask

What's your definition of rugged?

eherbal:
Rio's shock absorbers are nothing to write home about.they don't have second hand value,same thing goes for the others.when you buy a Corolla ,you're certain to cash out on resale even after years of use.

Okay

But at least we can agree that apart from resale values, there's nothing the corolla offers that these other guys won't offer

NYCnextStop:

The last one na even between married woman and the ex (got to know from their convo)

izzou:

I think its the other way... You should hustle hard so you don't become a driver to people smooching another Man's wife.

eherbal:
they can't take the abuse bro.they fall apart easily,easily.we all know this.

That's almost not true sir.


Mr. A buys a Toks corolla for 1.6m
Mr. B buys a Toks Honda Civic 1.2m

After 3 years if they are both on Ehailing either rental or HP. then Mr. B must have made two times his money while Mr. A will almost have made nearly one and half his. Then they decides to sell....

Mr. A sells for 1.1m
Mr. B sells for 600k


Difference is.... You know what's up.

In essence, the second hand value of a Toyota corolla can buy two naija used Honda civic.

Based on your analysis though.

Two loaves of bread are better than one

izzou:


Well, for me, this is the reason I believe people choose a corolla (my personal findings)

1) It's a Toyota product - Nigerians believe (which is true) that anything Toyota lasts

2) People who are buying their first car

3) The fuel economy (As if it is the only car or Toyota car that offers that)

4) Car dealers help in forcing it into their throats, especially when you want to buy a Lexus es350 with 1.7 million naira

eherbal:
the only one you got right is No1. believe me bro, Nigerians,broke as can be,knows quality and goes for it. remember the reign of Peugeot 505 evolution,golf 3,Honda halla,Honda billet(bullet)Honda baby boy,Camry pencil light etc? these cars trended for a reason. Nigerians know cars bro.its never been about sentiments and dealers tricks.

timilehing:
I use Kia Optima 2011 & I can tell you both Corolla and Camry of the same year can not stand beside it either in luxury or performance

izzou:


Sincerely,i have nothing against a corolla. I've driven it. It's a great car(although it's interior is shitty)

But after driving others, I've discovered it's just being overhyped.

I also believe the reason why it's expensive is because of the demand. And thats why these cursed thieves are always looking out to vandalize it.... Because there's a market for it.. Simple

dru23:



Before going into uber ..optima 07 was my first choice, until I was discourage not to use it.. I was new into the business at that time .... The optima looked more study and cooperate looking

adsmaster:


Men bro!!! Condition make many men take certain steps oh..... I just collect one Camry it's not a tokumbo, not even direct Nigeria use..... My brother problems plenty for the car

1...its leaking, eater gets into the car from underneath each time I pass through water logged areas.. So the car dey wooh, I done clean, treat, dry am tire

2...the car can stop for night, alternator not charging the b3 well, so once AC, full light dey on, and anything that saps battery men e go just off.... The shiit done stop me twice- one time in freedom way, the other time in unilag. So for night if I dey area wet get street light naaa to put of the full light..... But we planning on changing the alternator...

3...tyre done chop

4...gear box chamber or fibre has fault so it struggles to change from gear one to two.... (it's automatic) so me no dey false to speed oh, I allow it take its time to pick..... And many more

The guy said 30k....
So last week was when I collected the car, we agree I test it feel the car and get use to it before we start the 30k these week.... Note last week I paid 20k

But have told him to break even I must make 60k per week, 30k will go to him and 30 will go for fuel, call card, data etc... That it's 25k other are paying for Camry so he said he will do his findings.....i took it because The plan is to transition to his corolla he just bought, he wants cash to do insurance, service the car, suspensions etc.... Break master blablabla.... But my challenge now is the time for transitioning to the corolla, how long I gat to work, he said once we. Do the repairs, and the wife gain my trust(crazy) me just dey look am.... If these Camry wahala sap him money no be person go tell. Am to release the corolla....

But I don't plan on driving it more than 4wks...i go try pay am 30kthese week, then next week my brother I go tell am to review oh....

Please is these a wise move by me? I know the 30k is killing but my brother because of the goal of transitioning into the corolla

eherbal:
every cars has its season bro.there was time those cars I mentioned were either stolen or vandalized. the only problem is that Corolla's season is taking too long like game of thrones


the interior of the Corolla is something they really need to work on.drove a Kia cerato, and you need to see the neat and well trimmed interiors.toyota dey fall hand as per interiors and leg space

mrjaydee:



P.S Corrolla is the best car for this job.. forget about the hype.. the car is a LEGEND!

A Corolla with 1k fuel will take you from ikeja to sangoteado to and fro ..( even tho it's not advisable cos you might end up stressing the fuel pump) but which other brand can do that?
