It might be better, fitted with CNG. You would recoup faster, controlling for inflation.

Nigeria's are to busy following the gospel of false prophets (fake life) - to control for inflation.

You dey live fake life, plus inflation dey review your matter on a steady.

Mind you the matrix is corolla too.

Corolla wey him engine na werey grin

Will 4m buy you a sound tokunbo standard 2006 matrix?

It should actually, if not that people are greedy.
Except the person bought it toks last year,
There is no reason u can't sell Naija used Matrix that u have owned for upwards of 3yrs for 4m. These cars were around 3m for toks 3 years ago

SHARE the gist of your friend and his factory CNG matter....

Felicity001:


I don't wish anyone bad, just make sure you go for regular checkup because that cng thing is like a time bomb waiting.to explode. My friend almost got killed on his 2015 camry... the explosion started with his wiper malfunction

Me.i dislike anything artificial, the BMW I just got cane with an android screen, I'm already making plans to reverse to factory.

If I want to drive an electric/CNG/SOLAR.or whatsoever car I'll wait till I have the money to afford it, I won't be ignorant again to buy a converted Benz or upgrade Prado 2022 from GX470... I'll wait till when nature/the universe brings it to me.

If na tortoise can I can afford today I'll. Buy it and drive it with all pleasure and pride.

@izzou one thing I'll never do is put myself under unnessary pressure to carter or please or satisfy my family, if it's school bus I can afford, let them use it, if na bike let them.fly bike, if na trek let them trek, when the time for chopper comes and I can afford it at ease ill do it without a blink.
My wife can not tell me which car to buy for her, neither will put myself under unhealthily situation just because I want a car for drop off and pick up. Na as my power reach ingo do, if she no like bettle (tortoise car) make she rest.

What matters is the quality education and human training you impart into their lives, not the cost of school fees and the type of car that takes them to school.

If you like buy G63 to take them to school, if the child will grow up to be a big person or poor person that G63 or keke napped won't change anything.

No go kill yourself because you want the best for your wife and kids, if you drop dead today, they'll live on, sane way I continue to survive ever since my dad died

I wonder why some people will still allow themselves to be coerced to think Toyota is the only brand with parts available and good resale value.

Just imagine someone is suggesting a Camry drop light at 4m in 2025, a car that is older than Genz. Damn!

When 4m can actually get you other brands with good aesthetics and will still serve the purpose

There are other good brands out there guys
I met a guy using an 010 mitsubishi lancer for this hustle.
Very sweet and clean ride
The part full Ladipo

There's Kia, Hyundai, Peugeot, Benz, Honda among others

Even the Honda EOD and DC wey people dread before cos leg dey pull na him don full everywhere today. Their minds have been open to see that the legs doesn't just pull anyhow.

And to that guy that wants to get a car for his wife and it must be Toyota, stop following the band wagon, look further and you'll be glad you did.

In a sane economy , 4m should get you a good 2.4 Camry but due to the situation of the economy, it can't.

So it either U spend the 4m and buy a Camry and will still spend more funds on it to put it to shape or you spend lesser on other brands with everything almost perfect and still have change for yourself. The ball is in your court

Goodmorning boss,
Yes i have, the rewire did all he could but the issue wasnt resolved, so he ended up saying the speedometer is bad, I'll need to get another one but due to time constrain it couldnt work on saturday so we fix later this week but surprisingly when I start the car yesterday the dashboard lights came up.

Although I had issue with my car battery so I have been using a rented one (when i need to go out), can the battery be the culprit?
Glithronix:

How far, boss?
You don meet your rewire for the issues?
Have they been resolved? If yes...
Wetin be the issues?
Make we learn.


Much respect, sir.

It's a full Sedan Car not those choco milo cubes
Parts availability: This particular car is common in Nigeria already. Changan is already in the market, they are everywhere already in Lagos. U must have seen it. It's has a "V" logo. So all the parts are available.
Repairs: So all the suspension and body parts are available either in open market or in their dealerships across the country. They are the same setup with the regular vehicles, so ur regular mechanic can fix it.
On the electric motor, nothing will happen to it except it's accidented very badly. The only thing u will change around 10 year mark is the EV battery.
Battery Durability: 10-15years so for a 2020 car with less than 400km on it, u still have at least 10 years on the batteries.
Replacement cost: these are not American or European cars. The Changan batteries cost around $2k (N3m). And the prices are reducing cos the technology is no longer pioneer. So by the time u will need a replacement, it will not be as expensive.
Practical case; the hybrid batteries for Prius and Muscle used to be around 1m to 1.5m but now its less than 500k.
Rugged for ehailing: this one doesn't have ur regular engine that will die if stressed out too much. This is plug and go. Provided u have juice in ur battery the car is good to go.
Durability: So far Lagride has used GAC for 3 years and those cars are still standing, then we can say quality Chinese cars are durable too.
I am sure by the looks of Changan u wouldn't even know Changan is Chinese except for the name.
Battery range: a full battery can carry you 300miles/450km. Normal house charging will charge it back to full bar in 6hours.
Fast charging will recharge in 1hr.
Fast charging system installation is 250k.

These are my findings so far

Sterling bank has two ev charging stations

One at adeola Odeku, the other at marina

At adeola Odeku the charger is a type 2 ac charger

At marina, they have a type 2 ac charger and a high speed DC charger

They are rolling out more chargers in the coming weeks in lagos.

I believe they charge n500 per kw. Not sure but there is a sign outside their station.

You have three or four categories of charger and also different types of charging technology.

You have to be sure that your car is compatible

As a naija matter we are doing all

That is we have the Chinese, Europe and us standards available

A charger in your house will range from 3kw to 11kw.

The faster the charger the higher the load, and this has to be factored in carefully.

Good day my boss,
Please, I need your honest opinion on this please ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ.

I have a camry 2007, that I use for ehailing when I'm free from work, but due to financial constraint on a project, I plan to sell the car and get a lower car that can convey my family and as well continue the e hailing hustle when free from work. So I can get funds to finish up the project and as well still have a car.

Question:
1) Can I get a good car within 3-4m budget, any brand as long as it can serve me for a long time plus easy maintenance? If yes, can I know the brands.

2) is it possible to realize around 1.5m-2m after selling the toyota camry 2007 and get a lower one?

I look forward to your advise, my bosses in the house.

Thank you.

Breaking News !

Cabals are holding this country by the balls. As everybody don dey hope say petrol price will crash soonest, NNPC don suspend sales of crude oil to Dangote refinery and other private refineries in Naira, Now it is expected that Dangote will have to buy crude oil in dollars from NNPC or source crude oil from international market. That means the operational cost of refining petrol in Nigeria will go up.

Make Una buckle up pms is about to hit #1500 per litre grin

Good afternoon guys. I just randomly checked just as I usually do, to see if I have any VIO Fines and saw one for 20k issued on the 27th of February 2025 with the details "Non display of a valid route and route number". This is the second time I am getting fines for one of those ride hailing related documents people were coerced into doing by LASG and VIO some years ago. I seldom drive on these platforms anymore, except for a couple weekends here and there, and even when i do, I only do it within my area. I do my regular document renewals even before they expire Please, has anyone ever had to take off those body tag, lasdri, hackney and driver badge documents away from their particulars? If you have, how did you go about it? Because that's what i intend to do. I can't keep getting fined for useless documents that I don't use or need anymore.
I'l appreciate any useful insights from those who have gome through this too and solved it. Thanks.
Pleaae help you guys, I really need your insights if anyone has been through this and rectified it before.
