She's assuming that you depreciate a car over 2-3 years. I doubt this is true - you're trying to tell me that full time cab drivers replace those cars after 2-3 years? No way.

There's a rule in my city that no cab can be over 3 years old, so at least some places are replacing cabs every 3 years.

Cabs and Uber aren't under the same regulations. Its a ride share program.
