Don’t car rental places rent cars by the month? Or could he buy a beater to tide him over for a few months? I cannot imagine spending $140 for Uber every day.
Enterprise rents a month for $800.
^^and 5 days at $140/day is already $700. This makes no sense.
Or just Uber to a point where he can access mass transit. Or even moving into a nearby hotel with longterm rates for a month would be cheaper.
Op and her son are morons. The only smart one is the ex who seems to have removed himself from them and is living his best life.

Had to read that OP a few times myself.
The vehicle, that he got from his dad (who is not dead and lives in a penthouse and travels) is 14 years old.

He most also live super far from his job so he could also look into other options there, more long term.
Sure, if you have that money, or enough credit history to finance a used car. I remember being a young working person and not having either.

How much did you put down to pay $350/month? And I assume it’s a lease?

Why doesn't he just lease a Bentley or Porsche or Maserati? It'd be much cheaper. And with his leased Bentley, he could afford food.
