Honestly, if you're buying a new vehicle to use for Uber you're insane. Perhaps they got more people roped into that or leasing than they ought to have and that's responsible for these issues. But you can get a used car that's more than adequate at a reasonable price even with terrible credit.
At least in my area, most of the vehicles have been 5+ year old Toyotas (almost entirely Camrys, and a Prius or two) that were likely purchased with over 100k miles on them. The nicest thing I was ever in was a new Honda Civic.

I'm not sure that's a better deal than a $18K civic brand new, if you really planned for driving a few hundred thousand miles, especially when you factor in gas differentials. My impression is that the cost per mile on new cars is pretty good if you actually drive them for a few hundred thousand miles. The savings on used cars mostly comes in if you don't plan on driving enough to wear a new car out before getting your next car; otherwise transaction costs can be... significant.
