If drivers can walk away from the lease after 30 days (well, 44 to be precise), I see no problem with this offer. These drivers represent an extreme risk.

They just need to understand that the Uber lease should be treated as a short-term program.

https://get.uber.com/cl/xchange/ mentions pre-owned vehicles in addition to new ones.

"Vehicles requirements for Xchange Leasing program:

2009 or newer 75,000 or less miles no salvage, rebuilt or flood vehicle titles 4 full-sized doors minimum of 5 seatbelts (driver and 4 passengers) maximum amount financed $20,000 (subject to change)"

I would get the least expensive vehicle through Xchange, drive it to save about $3000, buy an Uber-qualified used vehicle, and enjoy life.
