OK, 2009 cutoff so how much do you figger full coverage on your insurance is going to be in Co? Something stupid like $250/mo?...with a $500 down stroke up front? Or does your current coverage carry over to another vehicle if you were to find it?

No coverage currently, so I am expecting about $750 down and about $300 a month for full coverage.....but it might be cheaper if I use an Idaho Springs address instead of a Denver one.
OMG! You sure there's enuff Uber "potential" customers where you are to even cover those costs? :-)
Pretty sure, Denver is begging for Uber drives like crazy. They are trying to expand out into the Western Slopes (resort area) which is where I live......plus soon as I get a good vehicle on the road with Uber I am gonna apply with Lyft as well.
Here's what I'm thinking. If the cutoff date for cars Uber allows you to drive is 2009 then you can get a 2010 just to give yourself at least 1 full year of use. Then buy as cheaply as possible. Here's a higher miles car for only $6500 for instance. Wouldn't it make more sense to just lower the bar just a bit? :-) I'll help you negotiate price with the buyer or do more research for you if you decide this is a better way to go. Seems like it would be much easier to raise $5000 to $8000...no?

Actually, miles on that one aren't too bad so you can shoot for a high mileage car and pay even less I am sure. Or does Uber have restrictions on that too?
I think there is a mileage limit...I seem to remember under 120k or something. Also $5000 is my goal as stated above in the post.
Then I don't think my idea will work for you as it doesn't look like you will be able to buy a low mileage car that cheaply in your area.
You sure about that?

So how far are you from Denver then?
About 40 miles by road - 25ish by air!
