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

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

IFSHR:


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

chillex8:

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

dru23:


I never did Toyota at all ... Hyundai were getting expensive and I predicted that long time ago ...


Ford ....never bro ... I never drove a ford in my life .. Now to be fair the new Ford edge looks really nice and explorer .. They look more sporty ......

Kia ... I dont plan on bringing them in ....it is better to stick to what you know in business...

radautoworks:


Thank you! I forgot Volvo!

Where are those that said dru cant drive ?

CheerfulGiver:
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.

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

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.

Scratching my head. So many numbers

Second hand value? Better to dash person with I beg to take this motor.. U don't know naija people when it comes to cars...

Lol.

Make wisdom your prayer point for 2021.

That madam has a business empire that's thriving and successful, she shares knowledge with you, but rather than grasp it, you are here dancing to tune of ignorance and unnecessarily
jogging the path of benightedness.

Shame

chillex8:
Make una no scatter this "me and dru" argument na
Someone that saved 800k might be lurking around and buy one of these cars

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 .

radautoworks:


TLDR, cost of parts alone isn't cost of maintenance. Some cars were designed by Satan himself and something that should take 20 minutes will take 4 hours. So you have to factor in costs of parts, amount of time repairs take, lost business during that time and how often the part breaks into maintenance costs. Your time is extremely valuable too!.

How often you change the mondeo hub I doubt is the same as the Corolla. Not saying it's bad, just saying like I always do to know all the caveats. I know little about the mondeo which is why I didn't say anything about it.

radautoworks:
don't forget to keep receipts for when agent or whoever wants to drag the 50k.

CheerfulGiver:
we know your type

radautoworks:
What you guys are forgetting is the goal is to HAVE 800k in the bank. If you are saving 60k for winter then do you really have 800k or 740k? Also, whoever posts should account for their expenses that period. At the very least fuel, maintenance, sacrifices to keep the SARs, LAWMA and other demons at bay and data records should be posted as they are expenses needed for the job. Food is not a primary business expense and tastes vary so that can be excluded.

Not keeping track of expenses is not an excuse and terrible business practice. How do you know what you make if you don't keep track of spending? You should have a log book where you keep track. No business ever grows without knowing where its income goes to the kobo. Take care of the kobos and the Nairas will mind themselves. Business 101.

In conclusion, now that dru is in, I know someone will definitely get paid 10k [s]so I join dru to match 10k IF poster also accounts for their expenses. I will also throw in two synthetic oil changes.[/s]
AMENDED IN LATER POST TO 50K WITH T&C

Read up... No one is interested in how he runs his business....

No one gives a hoot whether he is a fleet manager or not.

He comes off with an aura of condescension... the issue I suspect is , the members here won't stroke his ego.. No one has that time.... If he wants people to hail him, his drivers are there.

I'm tired of the excuses so I'm in teacher mode today.

I'm going to amend my previous offer.

Post your bank statement from Nov1-Dec31 along with your dashboard. Drivers know what the accounts that deposit from all the e-hailing companies are right? We take those payments, add any cash payments, subtract fuel and data. If it is 800k, I will give N50,000. I will also make you a P&L statement that might give additional information on how to operate more efficiently.
EDIT: I forgot sacrifices to keep the SARs, LAWMA and other demons at bay as part of necessary business expenses.

Sound fair?

Felicity0001:

Bank statement? You know I can't do that na haba! Though, most of my fuel expenses are done via my wife's MasterCard... I can't post her account details here and also... I don't think I can post my account details...

Sorry... I understand 50k isn't a chicken feed so what ever that should be done to have it should be very stringed... But I think I'm outta this challenge.

I give up.

radautoworks:
you sef be undercover troll

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.

A Volkswagen Jetta 1.8L
C Nissan Sentra 2.0L
A Hyundai Accent 1.6L
A Kia Rio 1.6L
C Honda city 1.3L
A Mitsubishi Lancer 1.6L
A Ford Focus 1.6L
A Hyundai xcent 1.3L
B Hyundai Elantra 1.6/2.0L

EDIT: let me add to the list
B Toyota Corolla
C Honda Civic
B Honda Accord
C toyota matrix
C toyota echo
C TOYOTA PRIUS
B Subaru Impreza
C Nissan versa
B/C literally any small Volvo

Will add as I think of more

Think before you involve yourself in something you will later regret, don't let somekid trying to showoff insult you in the nearest future,

immediatelyy you have a diverse opinion on a subject matter with that fellow.


The next thing will be, "no b you wey post dashboard, wey I give 10k that time, Abi the 10k no reach you."

Don't dine with the devil.
