Hmm, sounds like a great idea, except that they should do this with cheaper, used cars. if you have bad credit, you shouldn't be buying a brand new car.

- TeMPOraL 10y ago> if you have bad credit, you shouldn't be buying a brand new car. Can you elaborate? I don't see how that follows.
- bitJericho 10y agoA brand new car might cost your 400-600/mo whereas a used car might cost your 2000usd total (5 months at 400/mo of savings). Even if you buy a piece of garbage, you could replace anything wrong with it and still come out ahead. A new car is really a stupid buy for a person with little income.
- dagw 10y agoBut you cannot work as an Uber driver if you have "a piece of garbage", kind of defeating the whole point.
- bitJericho 10y agoYou can drive a 10 year old or older car for uber. In my area, prices are around 2000 dollars for 10 year old cars.
- dsfyu404ed 10y agoYou can find a lot of cars that are perfectly acceptable (no immediate work needed, no visible rust, does not need extensive interior cleaning) at $2k-$5k.

- EwanToo 10y agoYou can, though it's got a 6 year age limit [1]. They only finance up to $20,000 which rules out a large number of completely new cars anyway. Vehicles requirements for Xchange Leasing program: 2009 or newer 75,000 or less miles no salvage, rebuilt or flood vehicle titles 4 full-sized doors minimum of 5 seatbelts (driver and 4 passengers) maximum amount financed $20,000 (subject to change) 1 - https://get.uber.com/cl/xchange/ https://get.uber.com/cl/xchange/
