There is no reason to own a car that costs more than 20k

I came in to say 2016 Honda Civic, but I already got beat to it.
The interior is the nice, the car looks great from the outside, and the gas mileage is incredible.
Its all I really want in a car.
I'll spend the next four years running my current car into the ground, and when I'm done with that, I'm copping a Honda Civic.

Nah I ain't talking about nikkas copping two year old luxury cars off auto trader or I would've said that (which its nothing wrong with either). I'm talking straight brand new from the dealership when they copped the car type shyt so bold doesn't fit for this discussion on top of not spending half their money either.

I agree with the thread shaming part but its moreso for me cause it usually is coming from guys that truth be told can't afford a luxury car even if they wanted one. When that's the case as it is most times these things come up I look at dudes a little suspiciously. Its just hard not to esp when IRL people that have the money to comfortably do this (and some that aren't comfortable lol) aren't on the well see you should save and blah, blah, blah. The person telling you this savings stuff is also not caked up most times so why would I take advice from them anyway on getting/saving money?

Breh the discussion of not having/getting it because you can't is goofy. I didn't open this thread to brag or boast but hopefully an eye opener in investments. I can afford to get a 70k car but it's just not feasible to do so if you look at the long time benefits you get from it. Hell even the short term of you driving it off the lot you lose a substantial amount of the value of your investment. Stop trying to act like people are broke or unable simply because they see the bigger picture in things.

The only thing that's goofy is you sounding some type of way off what I said. I said personally I just don't believe cats online kicking that shyt you do. If your different great for you but like I said I don't believe it cause my experiences vary so dramatically IRL. If you can't feasibly afford it without it being a problem you can't afford it IMO and on top of that let's be real most cats that can comfortably cop a 70k car ain't cross shopping with civics and other 20k cars fam. I'm not trying to act like people are broke I don't know people's financial situation. Its what I believe for the most part regarding people kicking this stuff and said so. Im also saying if your an outlier good for you but I just don't believe cats online when it come to certain things and this is one of them. You know whats nice about this messageboard/world though you don't have to agree with me. Spare me the big picture stuff unless the big picture is you can't afford luxury cars comfortably and trying to pass it off as some "wise" financial advice to drive cars most people wouldn't get if they didn't have to.

Man spend 5 grand more and get a 2013 Lexus GS.
Yeah provided you can afford the maintenance and such once you get to about 30-35k or more on avg its in need not to cop a luxury car even if its an acura, infiniti type car. They are more common than cars further up the line but for most 9 to 5 type cats which is the majority you still have a car that's a step up to most cars you see on avg city streets. Its a dude at my gym has an old body e class amg and the new maserati ghibli and cats act like dude niño brown out here (even before the maserati) lol.

Edit: I know 5k doesn't get dude to 30+ k just was saying in general.

Those GS are 25k all day now. It's a Lexus breh, i trust the reliability of a Lexus/Toyota over a Dodge. I don't think the maintenance will be much more than the Chargers. The interior of the Lexus shytS on the charger. Charger is plasticy as fukk, the Lexus has on of the most supple leather exteriors out, so soft :ohlawd:

I just said 30k + because that's where I've saw the cheapest recent not too many miles used luxury cars at. Personally don't like Lexus anymore. They had their run about 20yrs ago when my uncle and the Lex land cruiser killing it but if it works for you more power to you.

I'm not that big of a fan of Lexus these days. Their interior seems a little outdated to me.

Look at the center console. Is it me or does something just look blocky and outdated??? Exterior is on point though.

What if you're a man and want a pickup truck with 4x4 so you can do grown up shyt and move tools and carry equipment?

Not all of us wanna zoom around in compact cars like females.

I guess you'll just have another man bring that to your crib. What if you buy a large item like a 65inch TV or a new washer or a new couch. You gonna have another man drive it to you?

:dame::dame:

Might as well call that man daddy

You're trippn, high end Japanese interiors are always next level when it comes to fit/finish and build quality. on the right of the shifter is a trackpad for the screen and all the functions including a/c radio/ nav incorporated right there @ the armrest. Look at the full LED gauge cluster lifted straight from the $400k LFA.

Anyways it's just a picture, if you were to get inside and start touching stuff, you would prob have a different opinion.
