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!Â
- Put 161 miles in an 8 hour shift. That makes depreciation and insurance a significant costÂ
- Figure out the cost of insurance and decreased resell value.Â
- Multiply the numbers outÂ
- Determine the cost per mile.Â
Assume 50,000 miles per year.Â
We should do it for Ford Focus (new and 3 years old) and Hyundai new and 3 years old.Â
- Price to figure out how much age costs (same car same mileage (maybe 50k, getting older and older)Â
- Then price to figure out how much mileage costs (start with a 5 year old car, price to very high mileage)Â
