Bust ass. Get yourself out of the hole, and move forward. I don’t know anything about Lyft. You might get on Reddit. I know they have a Reddit for Lyft. You might be able to get some pointers there. |

How many months at ~$1200/mo is it going to take you to get together a “great” down payment and repair your credit to get the loan terms you want?
That’s the comparison I’d be using vs taking a high interest loan to buy a car outright and build credit |

I've talked to a few people they said my situation is definitely doable. I've read the reddit shit and joined a Facebook group it's just a bunch of people complaining about the pay. I think my situation is different I'm just maintaining having a ride where as they are trying to do it for a living

Lets say you decide you are buying a $10k car. Spending almost 25% of that car value to rent a car for 2 months doesn't make much sense. If you don't have that much for a down payment and need those 2 months to save for one, then that makes the decision for you and you move ahead with your plan. |

Honda or Toyota sedans are about as cost effective as you can get and engines that go forever. And if you can save more over the next few years, in 2 years you can upgrade your ride but at least you aren't putting in $2,400 just to "rent" a car for a few months. |

You can easily get a solid car for 10k. It'll be a mid 2000s but still decent.

Bad news: I got laid off last Wednesday. I hadn't even been in the position for six months yet.
Good news: I got an offer letter for a new position today. $5K more than the last one and I still get to work fully remote. Plus I'm getting 60 days' pay + two weeks' severance so I am basically collecting two paychecks for the month of September. |
