Folks going into debt paying $600/month for the next 84 months:picard: All because they think some shyt they buy used gone explode:gucci: How about not going to Buy Here Pay Here car lots first off?:mjlol:

The information about each and every model year is right at your finger tips. You got forums who own those models and will tell you everything about them. You got a lot of YouTube car reviewers would will break down all the aspects. It's so much info that doesn't take long to find. As long as you stay away from the Germans you good. Toyota, Honda, Lexus right off the bat are what a majority of people should be going to. You never buy these new because they're bought buy older golf playing dad and soccer moms, folks who go to the grocery store and back then trade it in off lease. Then there's Infinity who have a solid track record

Here's a 2015 Lexus GS for $21,000 with 66,000 miles. Some old cac with money was driving this so it's very likely it was taken care of
Used 2015 Lexus GS 350 for Sale (with Photos) - CarGurus

How many of y'all new cars look that good and got that type of luxury:sas2: As for maintenance items like brakes, either get that taken off the price or have them do it. Not hard to look at records. Not to mention there's plenty of videos showing beginners how to do break jobs.


But y'all gone head and keep buying new and trading it in and staying in debt:mjlol:

Brooklyn keeps on taking it.
My used limit is 2 years max with great mileage. So nothing above 15K a year in average mileage.

so if it’s a 2 year old used car I’m not entertaining anything with more than 30K miles on it.

If it’s a one year used car I’m not entertaining anything with over 15K miles on it.

Other things included as well.

Most people don’t have time to research used car history or they just want what they want new regardless of the price. It is what it is. I know these truck prices are fukin ridiculous and a brother will be copping a used F150 with some miles but in the trim I want at least...
Even the 0% for 72 months deals are iffy since you give up the rebates and a lot of the negotiation in price....shyt still $1000/mo

People just like getting pulled for sucker deals at used car lots.

Maybe it's because the price mark up sounds like a better deal but is total shyt for the amount of car it's worth.

Notice it ain't never a black owner to these lots? Lol good thing then huh.

Sometimes it don't even matter if the used car is a piece of junk. If you spend $600 on a old car and have to replace it after only 6 months. That's still less money spent than a $400 a monthly payment on a new car. if you get lucky and that $600 car lasts you a couple years with no major issues, thats even more money saved. My first car was an old saturn that lasted me 4 years with no problems and i only spent $850 on it. Meanwhile i had friends with X-boxes and PS2's and all the latest games hitting me up for rides claiming they couldn't afford to buy a car.
