Why You Make More Money With Ride-Sharing Apps Driving an Older Car

I once rode with a driver driving a brand new $60,000 Lexus complaining he wasn’t making any money because his car was depreciating so quickly. Really? I thought. That’s not higher math! 

• Put 161 miles in an 8 hour shift. That makes depreciation and insurance a significant cost 
• Figure out the cost of insurance and decreased resell value. 
• Multiply the numbers out 
• Determine the cost per mile. 

Assume 50,000 miles per year. 

We should do it for Ford Focus (new and 3 years old) and Hyundai new and 3 years old. 

• Price to figure out how much age costs (same car same mileage (maybe 50k, getting older and older) 
• Then price to figure out how much mileage costs (start with a 5 year old car, price to very high mileage)
