Morray:
Goodmorning Kings. I'm about to negotiate for a car (Toyota corolla) on HP for uber. Owner's asking price is 3.2 with remittance of 30k on weekly basis. I'm new to this Uber industry that is why I humbly succor your inputs as I embark on this terrain. Please here are few concerns I'd love to highlight:

Is 3.2 on the high or a bargain considering how hard the country looks currently?

Is 30k remittance weekly achievable? If yes, will I have some change left to take care of some basic needs?

Would you advice I leave my tailoring work where I make an average of 6-8k weekly for Uber on the conditions listed in 1&2(though the price is subject to negotiation)?

Mine was yesterday evening at Olowora side of Berger;
while on a bolt trip, stopped by a fueling station and afterward my car couldn't start again.
Lilke play-like play na dia the car passed the night o.
CULPRIT: Power steering pump got hooked with the belt which made it impossible for the engine to roll and damaged the kick brush thereafter.
Got to Emeka's shop this morning and pump last price was 14k(Tokunbo).
I instead repaired my pump at 6k, the brush was 3k and kazeem+rewire collected 4k5.
I left there this afternoon and just headed home.
I cannot come and kill myself jare. Weekend is another starting point.
MODIFY: The power steering pump has been giving me signals for weeks but man just dey manage.

Sorry Boss, I didn't know it rained last night too till I drove out this morning. But my area never bad reach your side...

Meanwhile guys, here's my challenge. So my car engine got too bad about last month and I opted for changing it as against "ringing". Finally gathered the money to buy it this week.

However, one of my major challenges then apart from the 'usual' oil shortening, smoking and noise it was making was that if the car is parked anything more than 30minutes, I can't just start the car and drive away immediately. Once I start the car, it starts JERKING slightly after about 30seconds, then after like 5minutes it 'BALANCES' then I can drive away. If I try loading before the 5minutes elapses or before it balances, the car goes off and then I start the process again.

The thing is, I thought if the engine is changed the issue would be resolved but I thought wrong. The issue still persists, minus the noise and smoking. They tried scanning but the codes coming were P0016 , 0300, 0310 (can't remember exactly).

Please if there's anyone with experience handling this, kindly assist.

3.2M is a tall order


Find a car on rental first..

Test your grit on the hustle for like 4- 6 months before collecting a car on HP.

Making money on Uber in Lagos is beyond just driving and knowing Lagos....

There is a learning curve, you can't b a rookie and square up HP

You will be shocked with some preconceived notions about the job.

Rental first....

Morray:
I appreciate your input sir. But my problem is that I do not have the resources to rent a car

abefeabebi:

xanie:
I noticed that each time I use the wipers, AC and maybe headlamps, the battery icon lights up and the power steering stops working until I switch off the AC. What could be wrong? Vehicle is a 2005 Corolla.

Welcome back bro. Its quite a long time.

Ok guys I want to ask this question. On Monday, I was at lekki and set destination to Berger, got omole estate we began the journey and I checked g map and gmap told me to go through Broad street (marina) as it is 22mins faster than Osbourne. Lo and behold, I took Broad street, before I knew it I found myself inside balogun Google will tell me to turn left to a street that's not motorable or overtaken by market ppl.
We later spent almost 3hrs before reconnecting to 3mb via Adele adeniji.
Yesterday, I set destination to Berger, got ogba from lekki 1. Decided to face normal ikoyi to 3mb. Still spent 3hrs on Osbourn Rd alone. N:b the 2 riders weren't happy with the journey, thinking I intentionally drove them to traffic prone roads. So my question is, since this 3mb repair is on, how do you go to the mainland from the island from 5pm without offending your riders?

Crvrider:


I always prefer 3rd mainland bridge to access mainland. Albeit last night I used eko bridge while heading to somolu. However on many occasion I just ignore gooogle map and instead force it to reroute to my preferred route to avoid stories that touch.

What I find challenging most times is knowing which direction to face when a request comes in. Sometimes map says, "head south" , and am like, "which one be south now"? Sometimes I end up giving myself headache trying to study the blue line but to no avail. Other times I drive some distance to know if I'm moving in the right direction and if I'm not the headache is increased a notch when the blue line is redrawn.

Abeg house I need your advice.

I reached out through a post for rental, and I was as well in talks with a family member. The family volunteered to drop his car a Honda CRV 2003 model for me . To pay 70k monthly . He advise I save up and buy mine in 10months time.

My main question is I need advice and suggestions on if the car can handle the heat.....

Thanks
