Help me pick best Daily/Uber car!

[Koukiii]

Hey guys,

Been doing some thinking recently. The office I work at is about 35-40 miles from my house. That being said I have been putting a lot of miles on my recently acquired 97 240 that I daily drive. While looking for a second source of income I have people telling me I should uber when not at the office. Sounds like a pretty good idea but the 240 doesn't qualify and I deff wouldn't put it through that much abuse.

This got me thinking that I can solve two problems at once. Buy a cheap 2005+ car to uber and daily drive to the office. I would be able to tax write off all gas/maintenance expenses. Looking on craigslist I was pretty surprised at the amount of newerish cars in the 4-5k price range. I actually had my sights set on an 05+ maxima/Altima but have been reading a lot of bad reviews of motor/trans issues.

Pretty much looking for the most reliable 05+ 4-door car under 5k. Figured a lot of guys on here have dailys that may fit my criteria so looking for feedback on these types of cars. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks
