Cars are too damn expensive

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

You ain’t wrong in regards to top shelf quality and how different it is from a standard car, but it’s pointless to buy brand new when a car drops so much in 2-3 years from being brand new. You can find a 2015 S550 now in the tri state area for maybe $42-45,000. That car was about $125,000 brand new with most of the options and an all wheel drive train. A 2016-17 CTS can be found CPO at maybe $22-26,000 in the luxury trim and that was about $52-55,000 brand new. A 2015-16 Escalade can be found at $45,000 too instead of the $80,000+ that it costs brand new. That’s a lot more money to spend instead of waiting 1-3 years.

Most people that have a lot of disposable income lease. They see vehicles as bad assets. You finance a car for 48-60 months and eventually you have to pay to keep it up. Replacing parts.

Some people see cars as a hobby. They don't mind fixing it themselves.

Some people see cars as status symbols.

Some people see cars as a way to gauge their upward mobility.

Some people see cars as something to boost their self esteem.


People have their reasons. But no matter how you slice it, unless its a collectible, cars are mostly bad assets.

I could have sworn I think one of my friends is financing a 2017 Camry for like 96 months

If it's an open account like here in canada. He can pay off the car anytime he wants and use 96 months as security...unless he's locked into 96 months then that's stupid.

I got a 12k budget and can't find what I want


I was eyeing a 07 GS 350 with only 129k miles but everyone I know say it's too old

I found a 2013 accord but everyone I know says it has too many miles (150k)


The used car market is bullshyt.

What are you looking for? With a 12K budget you should easily be able to find a nice used Accord with low mileage.

Edit:
I see you don’t want a car note but you might not have a choice if you want a decent car. The price of everything has gone up since this thread has been made and only rising so you might want to figure something out quickly.

Honda Accord or a Lexus.

Used car market is kinda volatile right now. You probably should wait until shyt calms down to buy a car.


Or trade the car you have right now for a new one.

you can find hella reliable cars for 12k. Stop trying to stunt on a budget. Get something that will get you to point A to point B while you save up bread for a better whip. You can find a 2005 civic with 40k miles for around 5k. Maintain that muthafukka and it will last you years and an extra 7 racks in your pocket.

i already got bread saved up.

that’s why I don’t want to go over $11,000. That’s my set ceiling.


And Lexus cars supposed to last a long time.


Civics are too small

You mean 140K? Even then they still go for $4-5K, which is crazy. I'd be looking for the lowest mileage newest year Honda I could find then call it a day.

I'm getting to the mind now where I don't even want a car note anymore brehs. I'm trying to downsize into something cheap with low insurance and upkeep, but I'm just not sure what.
