Not only that, but 2 cars over 2 years; and, measuring depreciation as a cost. Also, comparing the maintenance cost of owning a BMW to riding in an uberpool. I don't know about your locality, but most of my rideshare vehicles are budget sedans or hatchbacks, or hybrids -- much cheaper than 11k a year in maintenance. Would he have stuck with 2 cars for 10 years, or 2 cars for a year each? 10 years of uber vs 2 cars over 10 years will definitely shift the savings number in favor of car ownership compared to 2 years.
