    Just got a q50 a couple months ago and I already wanna customize it.
    Really hoping to buy some rims but don't wanna spend all the cash on it at once
    Does anybody know any places around Houston that have good selection and prob offers a payment plan? I know some places have a 90 day same as cash which is cool but don't have a big selection in rims.. If you know of such a place please let me know!

    I put a good chunk of money on the downpayment
    And I don't wanna reach into my savings either..
    I just wanna find a place with good selection that may have that 90 days same as cash thing going on.. I would buy the rims up front but I got my eyes on a particular set that goes for 4k with tires... Idk bout you but I don't like being broke after buying something I could wait for.

    I've noticed uber drivers usually have pretty nice new cars.

    I think its some sort of requirement.?
    Something like the car can't be that old. And by old I mean 4-5 years.
    Has to be a 4 door no coupes..

    I guess they have high standards

    I believe they just have to be less than 10 years old.

    Many seem to be like a year old and not cheap.

    I mean they rarely show up in a Civic or something like that.

    EDIT: They have to be 2000 or newer

    I read somewhere that uber conned a bunch of the drivers to buy new cars at like 20% interest rate at one point.

    They have partnerships with dealers and incentives to buy new cars. Not sure about the 20%

    yeah completely pulled that out of my ass, but it was shady and drivers were pissed. I think a bunch bought Prius, so I was laughing.

    I don't get buying a car if you have to be an uber driver to afford it. But that's just me.

    I recently got in an UberX (the cheapest one for those who are unfamiliar) in SF... it was a brand new Mercedes E class. Driver kept going on about how he could only drive a Mercedes since everything else felt cheap, you have to be a baller to drive a Mercedes, etc... nice enough guy, but bruh, you just drove me across the city for a share of my $13 fare. There is nothing baller about that.

    I don't get it. More power to them, but not what I'd do with my time and money.

    Uber will sponsor the loan - so it's good for people with bad credit who would otherwise not afford a car. I think it comes out to like $700/month for a Prius or Camry Hybrid, or Altima Hybrid.

    So who here is an uber driver? I'm sure it works, but not that well in a city like Houston.
