Hi,
I'm currently semi retired and would like to do something part time while during my free times. Thinking of driving PHV but i'm driving a BMW 523i with 13L/100KM fuel consumption. Still viable to drive and earn a profit ? I'm planning to drive during peek hours about 8 hours a day. Would really appreciate some bro's genuine advise. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vincent Ng

Stop. Rent a car for a week first and try out. See if you want to subject your bmw to the harsh traffic mileage first.
I fear you may be disappointed at the end of the day.
1. Tyre replacement - bmw 17 inch?
2. Gear box risk - 10k ? ( mine stalled and I had it replaced for 2k for a jap car)
3. Fuel - are u sure 16km/L? U double check. I doubt that. My bmw was a guzzler
4. Insurance going to fk you. Commercial insurance x 2 ( if u paying $1,5k now your insurance going to pay $3k for z10)
5. Your fares expect to get fk fares 80% of the time. If you work 8 hr. Expect around $25/hr GROSS fares ( haven’t inc com) . This includes surges and all. Some hours u get $15/hr some hours you get $50/hr. Average out $25 - $30 ( emerald tier ). If you 8 hr x $20 ( NETT) = $160 x 30 = $4800 ( max) Fuel I expect $2-2.5k for bmw.
So you are left with say $2k net.
If your one component screw up, u work for free for 5 months
Don’t forget you prob need to do servicing every 2 months (10k mileage) + change filters / spark plugs/ etc. Budget $200 a month
Finally , last main issue. Unless your scrap your car, your car will have super high mileage at the end of 1 year. U want to sell your car, value drop. So likely will need to take scrap + Parf value + body value. Worth it or not?
My suggestion is rent for a week/ a month first then decide
All the best
