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.

Difference is 600k for Corolla and 600k for civic ...so its zero difference cuz both cars have done the same test of depreciation value.

Chin up bro, you are a MAN.. your mistake is not peculiar its normal. Just learn from it and try your best not to repeat the mistake.


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?

How much is the parts of a corrolla? Anybody that cares to listen.. do not buy Elantra or Civic.. hustle and buy a corrolla and thank me later


I have heard rave reviews about Corolla and i confirmed it but its quite expensive and the stories of theft doesn't sit too well with me . I cannot afford it at the moment, so i asked my Aunty to give me her Tokunbo Ford Mondeo 2002, 2.0 litre engine .
I am yet to register on uber because they didn't accept my road worthiness (ogun state), would do that tomorrow hopefully.
Thank you so much brother.

If you ask Dru23 or tojahh, they'll tell you why a civic is a great car, and why you should use it

I have driven a corolla, an elantra and a Camry on ehailing and I'm yet to see the peace of mind a corolla gives, that others haven't given me. I only wanted to learn, but then, the bolded seems to be your only reason for saying that....

I'll just search for my findings then grin
bro corolla is very reliable more than the other cars you mentioned, even Gazzuz can confirm to that,he sometimes tells me the advantage corolla has over other cars yet he is not a fan of corolla. Even me has started hating corolla because of the high price nothing more.

Let the Corolla gang enjoy their peace while the Elantra goons flex with theirs.

The Civic guys should do likewise... Even the Camry guys too.

At the end of the Day.... Na to make money with either of them and forge ahead. We all have a different business mind.

I will disagree on this... cuz as taught by u 'if a vehicle is well maintained, it can command a value equivalent to that history'

Sha, I have only one civic in my fleet and I took the wise decision to put it on a long term lease which pays monthly

It's one thing to say and another to do.. how many vehicle owners will pay for a complete timing kit with water pump at over 80k here?

What of original struts?

The list is endless. If you factor in ROI it is almost impossible to go the straight and narrow way.


Meanwhile see this one small money

Very correct. Look at this Lexus always serviced in Lexus dealerships and used in Texas.

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. this is the world's favourite car we're talking about bro.theres a reason the majority are siding with it,just that peace of mind is elusive.you can't attend parties with your Coro parkd outside .you won't even enjoy your meal,as your mind will be on the safety of the vehicle,checking it every 15mins .

same with this vehicle o! But people still buy it

They said I reversed when i was about to mount Airport road bridge which was true as i was not working sure of the route to take to Anthony until a good Samaritan told me not to climb the bridge and descend back to take Gbagada expressway which i was about to do when they arrested me, i couldn't move forward neither can i reversed back.
Then i started begging, shed tears grin ,something i haven't done in 4 years. grin All my pleas fell in to deaf ears, they said they would tow my vehicle .
We deliberated back and forth and showed them how much i had left with me ,they grabbed it and let me off.
It wasn't funny as i cried all the way home. I couldn't eat my breakfast self.

I still dey road sha, already done like 6trips since i entered the road around 1pm.

In Lagos never, never never make a reverse when ever you miss a turn. Just keep moving and go turn round to where you missed the turn. You can give your rider a discount after the trip. Is a big lesson I learned in a hard way. Only the humiliation can traumatise you.

1.3m for a used Nigeria car .....lol ...that is likely to have been abused and more than likely starting to short oil ...U see Corolla owners or mostly Nigeria car owners love to use Mobil xhp 20w50. Which than starts to short oil ,after a sucker buys the Nigerian used corolla for 1.3m .. Than down the line the second owners deals with the long terms of abuse the car ....lol ..1.3m may God never let me buy naija used car ......

With 1.350,000 a smart person will just be more patient and add more money and buy a tokunbo Corolla.. At least with a tokunbo you know how you have maintain the car yourself from the day it touches your hand....

I have tried to think in and outside the box,but at the same time I ask questions too. Civic is a very good car,but it would be difficult for me to invest more than 1.3m on a car and give it out to a drive who will in turn start telling no Request and that all he can pay is 25k...I will also not invest in a corolla with 1.8m or more for the same story....So if you can help me,is there a reliable and a tokunbo I can invest 1.2m or less for ehailing and give it to a drive?if civic is within that range I dont mind....

Dont quote me ..but the car god on nairaland said you can get a (used corolla) naija used for 1,350,000. So with your 1.2m naira just add small money join am to 1,350,000 and buy the Corolla.. And pray to God that in the next few months that you dont come to nairaland complaining.. And the complain usually starts like this ..

Car Owner: Please nairaland, I need your help.. My corolla that I bought short oil

Nairaland: how much oil does it short and is there any leaks

Car Owner: There is no leaks anywhere, and I had normally top the oil every 2k miles

Nairaland: check the exhaust for smoke ,white smoke or blue smoke .

Car Owner: I have check there is no smokes at all

Nairaland: check the pcv valves

Car owner : have check the pcv valves and it seems ok

Nairaland: what oil have u been using

Car Owner : have been using 20w50 ,but let me check with the previous owner.

Nairaland: plz check o

Car Owner: the previous said 20w50...

Nairaland: but the oil cap said 5w30 is the rite grade

Car Owner: where can I buy 5w30..

Nairaland: we have oyel sellers in the forum cc: dru23,myparts, radauto ,Gazzuzz

Car Owner: so if I buy the 5w30 the oil will not short again?

Nairaland: just continue using the 20w50 ..20w50 is very thick and it will burn much slower than 5w30..

Car Owner: God bless you sir. I will continue using the 20w50

*************** Few months later *****************


Car owner : Please nairaland, my Corolla is smoking all types of smoke, blue smoke, yellow smoke all types... I took it to my kazzem .. He said I need a new engine and I dont have money to buy tokunbo engine...

Nairaland: well your mechanic is rite . You need a new engine



Car Owner : car I buy for 1,350,000 and it needs new engine . already . I thought Corolla na strong car .
