Need a dependable car ASAP — willing to pay weekly, bad credit + recovering from major injury
​
Hey everyone, I’m hoping someone here might have advice or be willing to work with me. I’m in a tough situation and trying to get stable again.
I’m looking for a dependable, reliable vehicle that someone is willing to finance to me directly or lease weekly. In the DFW area. I can pay $300–$375 a week, and I need something before Tuesday of next week so I don’t lose my ability to work.
Both me and my wife work full‑time at Circle K, and I also drive for Uber and Lyft, which is more than half my income. The problem is that rideshare rental companies are extremely inconsistent — they’ll let you keep a car for a short time, then suddenly make you turn it in, or they run out of vehicles and leave you with nothing. I can’t rebuild my life on that kind of instability.
During the pandemic, my credit took a major hit. Then I ruptured my Achilles tendon twice, and now it’s unrepairable. I spent the last eight months learning how to walk again, and I’ve only recently been able to return to full‑time work. Because Uber/Lyft is a big part of my income, banks deny me the moment they see it — but I can’t leave it off an application, because it’s how I survive.
I’m willing to:
- Pay weekly
- Cover full insurance
- Sign whatever agreement makes both sides comfortable
I just need someone who’s willing to take a chance on me so I can prove I’m dependable. I’m not looking for a handout — just a fair shot at something stable so I can keep working and rebuild my life.
If you have a vehicle you’re willing to finance, or if you know a place in the DFW area that works with extremely bad credit, I would be grateful for any lead. And honestly, even advice helps. Anything someone is willing to share that could help me improve my situation means more than you know.
Thank you to anyone who reads this.
