      He did not specify a timeline in which the car needed to be sold. She could keep the car, make $2000 per month during the Summer, pay down the debt so that she isn't upside down anymore. When the school year starts sell the car, and take a small personal loan (if needed, other use leftover cash from Uber) to purchase a $2000 - $4000 vehicle and then add the loan to the snowball. Apart from that, it's NOT impossible to find a used vehicle to do Uber Eats, Doordash, Grubhub, Instacart, Postmates or Amazon Flex. He offered very good advice, but I also understand not everyone is a solution focused thinker

      Uber and DoorDash…. If you really calculate the cost of the 🚗 car, depreciation, all that…. Drivers don’t come up a head.
      Your mileage might vary. You better use every dollar calculator on your side hustle and see if you are making.
      Time spent,
      Car Depreciation,
      Income earned
      Tax,
      Gas spend……
      Opportunities cost 💲
      As school teacher it might be work as online tutor. No upfront cost…… just time…. There are people who will pay American just to learn English overseas… over online.
      Fact that she is a teacher is big plus.
      Online tutoring, on subject to a she knows,
      Be tutor for english for foreign students…
      I hope she leverage the skill that she already have. She sounds like kind, understanding, and patient person who has capacity to listen. She is worth more than uber driver who barely makes minimum wage.

    She won’t make $2k extra per month working Uber AND teaching!!! During the summer she can make $2k which means $6k total after which she can maybe make $1k/month on top of her teaching job. Also, she can’t Uber in a $2k car because one, it’s not reliable enough and two, I wouldn’t get into a $2k car as a customer. Unrealistic advice based on unrealistic information. She needs to sell the Cherokee to a private party and use the money to buy a NEW reliable subcompact car like a Corolla. Why? Because it’s reliable, has very low maintenance, AND is presentable to Uber customers. Basically, her solution is to work, either for Uber OR find a better paying teaching job. BUT perhaps what’s more important is how she manages to spend so much money on living expenses. Sounds like she can downsize and cut back on expenses. Also, she shouldn’t have a business right now.

    She can’t do Uber in a 2k car! I’ve done Uber for a while. You have to have at least a 10 year old car or newer to do it.

    Problem is she takes his advise she can no longer drive for Uber because they require the vehicle be less than 10 years old with good paint, body, and interior. Good luck trying to find a car that Uber would approve of for less than two grand!

      You can rent a car from Uber to use for work

    I agree with what Anthony said about trying to privately sell the vehicle. However I feel like she should try to do online tutoring. Make a good bit of money doing that hustling during the summer and while school is in session.

    Nothing wrong with staying and getting the appraisal number for her current jeep.

    Uber on a car that costs 2k? I doubt a car like that would qualify. Even doing delivery service can end up costly because the car could need many repairs due to extensive use.

    Better idea is the pay the current car down to the break even point, go back to CarMax and sell it (Anthony walked right past that part unfortunately), then figure out what a “cheap” used car currently costs ($2-3 grand is going to be challenging but possible).

    She's making 56k in Houston and struggling?....She needs to revisit her budget, sounds like a spending problem.

    The question I have is how much was the interest rate on the car vs that personal loan that your asking them to take.
