I mean, one random breakdown on the highway will cost you more than the car's worth.

Just admit that you dont have $$$ to buy a lightly used car from the last 3 years (at least, before the chip shortage happened).

I've always had money and ive always bought older cars.
I personally don't like bills. I don't finance anything if I don't have to.
And I don't like paying for coverage for some shyt I'm trying to avoid happening.

Buy reliable cars ..Take care of it like you would do any vehicle.

U could pay a thousands to get an engine fixed if your shyt breaks down, correct.
.. But you're not paying a car note.
Your making that money back in less than a year

So a warranty doesnt exist? :stopitslime:

Paying a couple of thousand $ in warranties will save you thousands. Stop taking shortcuts.

And driving up to any social event with the OLDEST car by 15+ years doesn't make you think that you can upgrade?
My shyt wasn’t rusted, dented, stayed with a wax + wash in the warmer months. Not every older car is a “beater”
my interior was spotless.

not mine but damn near identical. Riding clean with no car note, my insurance was $96 a month

How many cars from 97 still on the road? Exactly. Its a good secondary car, but not smart for your primary whip.

That shyt is wild risky.

I understand owning one for nostalgia and whatnot but todays cars are built different and in a good way.

I don't think I'm getting your point.

Are you saying get a warranty or don't get an older car

I’ve driven all over the Midwest in my Lexus, no issues besides a dead battery and fuel pump. Everything else has been minor wear & tear maintenance

nikkas wanna use a rotting and rusted out whip in some 3rd world country as an excuse not to buy a older secondhand car. Lmaoo. You can read who the car enthusiasts are and those who view vehicles the same way they do their stove or microwave, appliances that you're supposed to throw away after a few years. Nah, its not like to true car guys.

Get a slightly used car from a dealership that offers you a good warranty. May be $2-3k more, but it is worth it. There are no such thing as shortcuts for a reliable car.

I just like having newer cars and never really understood the appeal of older ones unless they're exotics.
:manny:


Unless I had all my money tied up somewhere else big or didn't have a job, I would never choose to push an older ride if I could help it.
