There's a lot of people who are desperate for extra income--short of ditch digging. I looked into driving for Uber a year ago. While I haven't bought the four door sedan, it's still on the back of my mind.
My biggest fear is spending eight grand on a Uber approved vechicle, and it not working out, and I'm stuck with a boat anchor--that's depreciating daily. Four door vechicles are a hard sell. Wether new, used, or a classic vechicle-- a two door almost always sells faster than a four door. (I'll pass this along, if you want a classic car--and don't care about resale value, look for four door vechicles. Car guys just don't want them. They are a good value now.)
So, after looking into that list. A list that changes. I believe Uber is a employer. What really gets me about Uber is they use your insurance. You take on most of the risk, and they have the nerve to tell you what's aesthetically pleasing, or safe.
