Serious question: How important is a new CAR to you?

[Sad Bunny]

I am thinking about getting a new car this year....I want a 2015 Impala or something that will be like 25k ish.

My current Impala 2008 only got 80k miles and has been good to a nikka. ..now...should I tide it till the wheels fall off or get rid of it and cop that new thang

I truly don't care as long as it rides good but just also want and can afford a newer car now

Might give this one to my wife or just have it as a backup vehicle

if you're debt free go for it

Not that important, just a decent car with low mileage and not over 4 years old, and I'm good

Depends on how much it's going to cost you.

Sometimes a used car can have a similar payment to a new car, depending on the interest rate.
If you can get a good deal on a used car, that seems like the way to go.

All of my friends who have bought new cars have all told me that in hindsight, it wasn't worth it.
Well, not all of my friends, just the ones whose opinions I value.

When you have a new car and you have to get full coverage and you're paying close to $1,000 (or more, considering gas) a month...it's not so cool.
Unless you can afford it.
You know, coli certs and all.

MY TRUCK IS FIVE YEARS OLD NOW. I DON'T PLAN ON BUYING A NEW CAR FOR A LONG TIME.

Not new but I mean used new or used certified

I don't mind if it's a 2014 with low miles

I just want to upgrade tbh

Cars depreciate in value as soon as you take them off of the lot. Just get a car with low mileage on it.

Cars are made to get you from point A to point B. If the car you have still does that, you're better off adding to your savings accounts, 401ks, ect; or starting/adding to a college fund for your kids.

Not important. Never had a car
