Uber Unicorns Choices – Two Dozen Great CarMax Lyfts for $20,000 …..or So

If I needed a decent, unusual, reliable, or unreliable but cool car with a great warranty to go into business for über or Lyft, I would choose from this batch. Welcome thoughts.

Land Rover and Jaguar XF — Big and Rich. Your pickups will feel like celebrities in these V8 powered classy cars from the UK.

A pair of Mercedes – the E350 at $16k and it will last forever – S550 is pricey but oh so luxurious!

Audi and S550 72000 mi — White Knights – A pair of 72,000 mile German sedans – V6 and V8 powered.

STS Town Car — Something more traditional? Big American sedans at a bargain price.

Marquis and Crown Vic - Bench Seats — Grandpa Uber – Big ol’ bench seat sedans! – Marquis and Crown Vic cousins.

Slow but Smart Impala Choices — Slow, but Impalas nonetheless. The LT looks cop car. The LS really well equipped (but a 4 cyl!)

Uber XL - SUV — Back to Big – A pair of XL’s. The Hummer would be the baddest über ever.

Toyotas Big and Small – Owned an Avalon once and loved it. The Matrix makes sense.

Low Mileage - Regal and 300 — Stupid low miles – beautiful baby Buick and a cheap Chrysler with a little 6 cylinder.

Sensible - Honda Accord and S80 — Sensible Cars – a Volvo and Honda good for another 150,000 miles!

Acura TL and Genesis — Oddballs – Nobody knows what an RL is (they’re nice) or that Genesis’ are so luxurious.

Cooper and Sable — The cutest, a Mini, and the mysterious, a Mercury for $11k and less than 4,000 miles a year!
