How hard does this look to repair?

I have had the idea to get another vehicle to use exclusively for Uber and found this at the auction. have not seen it in person but it runs and drives, and looks like it just needs a rear deck, bumper and taillight to fix. what do you guys think?

Running a vehicle like that, after months of work to make it work, as a taxi?It’s the wrong vehicle for Uber, IMHO. Besides, it’s all money out. How long will you have to drive it to break even?

lol, a lot less than buying another vehicle for even more.... especially if you can do the work yourself that is all money proudly saved.

i make 30k a year driving Uber part time. I'm looking for something I can pickup that's paid for so I don't have to put all the miles on my Tahoe. although I am probably going to pass on this Sub because I am seeing extra body damage in the photos I did not see before.

I’m genuinely curious about that industry (intellectual curiosity, I don’t want to drive for them). Is that gross, or net, and how many miles does that equate to?

I’ve heard someone else comment that making positive cash flow with them depended on being choosy about when and where you make yourself available.

Salvage title? 2k tops...walk away sight unseen. You can Buy a undamaged one for the same money you spent for unknown. And test drive it!

They want too much on the buy it now, you should also check with Uber & Lyft about trying to use a vehicle with a Salvage Title; in Kalifornia they don't allow anything with a branded title.

FYI - as far as I know, Uber requires vehicles to be no older than 10 years. I actually did drive for Uber for a while when they first arrived in Michigan, around 2016-2017. But as soon as my truck turned 10, they wouldn't renew me.

In my area, its 15 years
