You try so hard that you actually come across as a dumb person, even when you aren't trying.

What argument am I losing and to which logic? Logic that demands an explanation as to how dashboard money is spent unless it is deemed as misleading? Now your only response is to think "you and japa are never in the same place at the same time" therefore, we must be on and same person? Why is your brain capability so limited?

_fuck you and your 50k. I never needed your money and never told you I did. So stop making this about money. Your reasoning is warped. I will always remind you at any opportunity I get.

Good day to you too.

They way I look it from a different angle.. This is free money for people to win.. Just try and win based on terms and conditions chop money clean mouth and take home 70k naira ...

Sycophant Oshi. No wonder. I should identify you idiots one after the other and know who to waste reply on.

See as you dey do ma up and down. Full grown man.

Upgrade your vocab, your choice of words are as stale as your brain.

You definitely didn't work out 800k coz if you did, raising the bar shouldn't hurt you this bad.

Even though I'm not the cause of your pain, sorry for hurting this bad, making you a cry baby wasnt the intention.

This would be my last reply to you

My point is the most common cars used are Japanese cars.... Corolla, Prius, camry ... The company that leases cars for uber drivers uses mainly Japanese cars .. Rental car company like Aveis ,budget uses Japanese cars.. Majority of them have Japanese cars in their fleet......

The best car for ehailing. I envy the owners.

CheerfulGiver:
Bro don't be stupid. You're failing to see the whole point. Posting earnings doesn't equate to always posting your expenditure.

If I make 150k weekly and I drive a v6 or a v8 it doesn't reduce the earnings. I'll still earn 150k.

How I spend isn't anyone's business but mine. Even if I buy fuel of 120k is none of your beeswax. I chose to drive a v8.

Are you interested in Jp's contest or Radu' contest?
Why masturbating all over if you know you are not interested in hers?

Abeg man dey talk you dey open mouth, clear road make I see men reply to.

Raising the bar means I post my expenditure? You're a _fucktard. Don't quote me again.

His reasonings are blocked hence he finds it hard to understand that terms are clear just as eniola has abided by the terms.

And sorry, we all know that its 60k that is available to be won.

Someone that saved 800k might be lurking around and buy one of these cars

On a serious note though, I agree one should look for cheap car to maximize returns but in my opinion/experience those cars are cheap up front but expensive down the road (A). The converse is expensive upfront but cheap down the road (B). The perfect car is in the middle C. None is necessarily bad and may suite different people. Personally if I drive for a living I want a B or C (parts availability is never a problem if you hardly ever need them .
Bear in mind I don't know street value of a lot of these in Nigeria so I'm going off street value in the US and through the eyes of mechanics. Adjust perception accordingly. Some of the As might be Ds in Nigeria (expensive upfront AND down the road).

Considerations are ruggedness, fuel efficiency, comfort and cost of spare parts.

Free money yes.

It nauseating how she totally knocked JP because she wanted to hijack it and make it all about herself. Anyone is free to do whatever. Don't demean people who post earnings because they didn't post expenditure. Simple.

Expenditure is not her business

If you weren't so stupid you will remember where she demanded for bank statements proving that 800k was saved. Not even earned. Saved. And immediately she switched, you fools kissed her ass as usual as if nothing happened.

Just try and win it sha ....I just look at it as free money .coz if I decide to do 100k challenge, I wouldn't make it easy at all ... People might get offended by my T&C ...

We talking about cars for ehailing .. That is rugged ,fuel efficiency,availability of parts etc I don't know about Honda Accord o

yup, my focus is on e-hailing.

dru23:

Some Honda Accords have a 2.0L engine. And are very rugged.

chillex8:

Yes o ..

chillex8:

The best car for ehailing. I envy the owners.

But you will not envy them when it is time to replace the hybrid battery but the Prius rarely have issues

dru23:

exactly. I'm more in the school of once a lifetime headache than repair everyday like I mentioned earlier. Time spent in the shop is literally money lost in e-hailing.

chillex8:

I don't know much about accord o .. I will stick to my Honda USA spec civics.. Peace of mind is what I want , I no get time to do experiment up and down with different motors

dru23:

That's the machine breakdown and maintenance we are talking about. Frequency of breakdown is the bone of contention here.

Last I checked, a toks pair of corolla wheel hubs, cost over 28k naira.
But a ford Mondeo's hub is a paltry 8k

radautoworks:

Lol...... Those cars that Chillex mention that have smaller 2.0liter engine, I won't be surprise if some of them na repair everyday those cars o lol ...

I promise myself in 2020 and 2021mechanics will not know me either by first name , last name or type of car .. I will try and stay out of mechanic shop as much possible, unless for basic maintenance check

radautoworks:


Let me salaye. I was condescending because his previous response was condescending. Japa irritates the crap out of me yes but when dru and a couple of others threw contributions in and I knew winner would get some money, then I saw unrealistic dashboards furthering a false narrative THAT pushed me over join in. If you notice I even changed my original statement. My original was simply to follow suite but the dashboards made me change that because investors would get the wrong idea about earnings

Alaye ti tan.

Such a dumb comment which is gradually becoming unsurprising.

Unrealistic dashboards? Because you said so? What a pea brain. Someone made 120k a week and posted it. How is it unrealistic? That the money wasn't made, or what? This is why you know _shit. You want to think for investors wey get sense pass you.

dru23:

Lol. But you have jumped ship at least twice now.
From Toyota to hyundai to Honda.

I see you bringing in ford or volvo cars in the near future

Why not create billboards all over Lagos so that investors not on nairaland will contact you first and seek your opinion before investing?

If you execute a contract worth 1m with 800k, how much did you make/earn?

how often do both need changing though? I genuinely don't know with the mondeo? Like you said frequency matters. Let's use dru's favorite example oil. You can use the 5k oil for a lot of these cars and change every 3 months or 2-3,000 miles or you can spend 17-27k on synthetic extended mileage for 6 months or 10,000 miles. Liquid cash may make option one more appealing until you consider certain things. It's not just about the cost of the parts.

For the sake of simplicity let's use miles and assume you do your own oil changes so no labor.

In 10,000 miles on option one syn blend:
5k oil *5
1-1.5k oil filter *5
Min 2k LOST TRIPS DURING OIL CHANGES *5
25k + 5-7.5k + 10k = 40-47k on maintenance

On option two extended mileage synthetic mobil, Pennzoil, castrol, etc
17-27k oil *1
2-3.5k filter *1
Min 2k lost during oil change *1
17-27k + 2-3.5k + 2k = 21-32.5k on maintenance

Same applies to any repair you're doing. frequency of repair is a killer for you guys. there is a formula to calculate the actual cost of each repair. For Rad Auto, for every $1 we lose in warranty work or mistake correction, we have to make $5 to avoid losing money. One would have to do the math for e-hailing.
