    Myself I put at least £75 per week away for repairs so that we always have money for repairs and any excess will go to replacement vehichle ..at the moment there is £6k in that account.
    Our taxi is very well maintained by the dealer and was brought brand new(warranty comes in handy) and has done 150k miles and is 4 years old but still has plenty of life in her yet but we will have the money available for replacement anyway.
    I can't get my head around somebody not forward planning from their business profits.
    I haven't worked our taxi for 3 years due to having cancer so it's a one man band with hubby just driving at the moment but we still can live and pay all bills and put money away for repairs etc..
  • go be a driver for someone else as you clearly haven't the business sense required to be an operator

    that way you may earn slightly less, but you have none of the things you cant afford to worry about
