If I buy a 2004 car.....how long could I use it with Uber and Lyft in Raleigh?

If your market allows 15-year old cars, then a 2004 would be allowed until 2019 (maybe 2020).

you do know that we are at the beginning of what will likely be the slowest summer we've ever seen so buying a car for uber is not a great idea. With that said I would guess you are good till Jan. 1 2019

Thats what I was afraid of. I have been using a 2012 Pilot, but I came across an 04 Camry and the owner is only asking $2000 in good condition.

The Pilot uses too much fuel and
I only get about 1 out of 10 XL trips with it.

An 04 Camry should be worth more than $2,000 if it has less than 200,000 miles. Buy it. You could sell it right away and make a profit, or drive it a few more thousand miles and sell it next year.


If you don’t want it; let me know and I will buy it.

I'd buy the car if it is good shape, regardless if I plan to use it for Uber or not. See, when I used to drive Bradley's and Abrams in the Army they took a lot of gas. Now, when i got back from duty I would get in my car and realize that my V-8 Camaro (the car I owned at that time) didn't use nearly 1/8th the gas those BFV or Abram did. Then a light turned on, and blew out, in my head. I realized that I could stop complaining about my gas guzzler V-8 if I bought a gas sipping 4 banger. A week later for the small price of $500 I had a 1980s something Chevy Cavalier that was missing the front bumper and was amazingly painted different colors on two doors. OHHHHHH the money I saved on gas back then, and it was like $1/gal or so.

Moral of the story, never pass up a good deal when you can....

Ants driving around in blinding downpours for .57 cents/mile. Come on!!
