Help choosing a disposable car??

For Uber working on a R5 base fare plus R7.50 per KM, with 21.6 working days a month and 7km to work, that's:

21.6 x 2 x (5 + (7.5 x 7)) = ~R2,484 per month

Where can you find Uber fares? I've tried looking at their website but couldn't find anything useful, and stopped short of installing the app because it wanted my credit card details and I'm not sure if I'm even going to use it yet, until I know how much it costs.

I'm going to be in the Cape for a week (and that's why I'm looking at Uber), but that looks far more fun than Uber.

Although packing my own spanners might push me over the weight limit on the flight down.

If you can't fix 90% of the problems on a volksie with nothing but some duct tape and a pocket knife you should not drive one

firstly what about month to month car rental? or seriously look at a tazz, once u ready to sell, they sell like hotcakes...
a getz or an i10 if you can get it at that price...

 

[SauRoNZA]

So thinking

Getz
Atoz
Corsa
Fiesta
Honda
Yaris

No bakkies or VWs to be hijacked in
No old money pit skadonks
No township specials

What else should i look at?

Late 90's to 2000's

Any of these should sell fairly easily if you price it attractively.

Your can get the bubble shape Corsa's for less than 50k. Possibly even in GSi Trim.

What about a Monza? The only problem would be finding one because they get sold so quickly.

 

[PostmanPot]

VW Polo.

I think OP may really struggle find the Monza COTY for around the R50k mark...

 

[Nirv]

Do you specifically need one from the Gauteng area or is getting it from CT/elsewhere a possibility?

 

[krycor]

Yip old car, value can't go down much

 

[ChrisThomas]

Would you considering looking at a Ford Ka? I know they don't have the best street cred but the values have stayed the same in the last year and they have bulletproof engines, if you get a Trend, you get an airbag, abs, power steering, aircon and a decent hifi.

Get a bicycle and cycle to work. Works for me.
