>$600/mo new car payment is cheaper than spending $2-3k/yr on maintenance/repair on a paid off car
>>28758891yall are paying 2-3k a year to fix cars?
>>28758891>$2-3k/yr on maintenance/repairEven my 60s Muscle car doesn't cost that much yearly, wtf are you driving?
>>28758914>>28758918this is a worst case analysis to emphasize the point.
>>28758891The lease on a new versa with dealer maintenance is like 350, people with 600mo payments have troglodyte tier intelligence
>>28759015The Versa is one of the cheapest, smallest nu-cars you can buy. Most people want a little more than that.
>>28759015i rented a nissan versa in 2018 because they were out of other sedans. it was the biggest piece of shit i ever had the displeasure of driving, felt like driving a rattling tin can with a CVT. if you're paying $350/mo to rent a versa you might be clinically retarded.
>>28759022For your wrenchlet roastie single mom who can't be accountable for anything on the car, she's not doing any better
>>28759038By>a little moreI just mean biggermore taller more safer
>>28758914Service and repairs are not the cheapest.
>>28758914The problem is normies buy the cheapest car and then think repairs=value so theyll never spend 500 bucks to fix shit bc " I only paid xxx for the car!"
>>28758918those are reasonable numbers for a 15-20 year old audi s/rs model
>>28759233I have that problem with exactly one vehicle I own. I spent more on registering it than I did on the vehicle itself. I'm also torn on whether or not I want to sell it when I'm done putting it back together because it's almost a brand new vehicle, and I'll never find another deal like it.
its actually cheaper to build a street/strip race car than to finance a shitbox right now,not like a modern competetive one but one that'd be cool in the 1990s.
>>28759033can confirm. the versa makes the mirage feel like a bmw and I'm not even trolling
>>28759399now that i think about it, the one that i rented had manual crank down windows. kek.
>>28758891Reasoning like that is pretty nakedly post hoc justification. They just want a new car.
>>28759049suck it up roastie, you girl mathed your way into holding 65% of public debt in 50 years, kiss my feet on account of being let into a bank
>>28759532I paid cash for a 20 year old vehicle. I am beholden to no man.
>>28759332This fucks me up.How am I supposed to justify financing a fifty thousand dollar Mustang when I could build something truly nasty for under $15k?
>>28758914my shitbox costs around 2k a year with all the parts needed and taxes and inspection (lol yurop)
>>28758920That's nowhere close to worst case scenario for someone who owns a performance oriented vehicle.
>>28759650Or anything German
>>28758914I just paid $120 for new coils to fix a misfire and then $1200 for a new catalytic converter because the misfire fucked it up. I got shafted by the muffler shop because later I found the same cat for $500 on rockauto, I could've save a bunch of money. but it had already been installed and used by then. that expense was the biggest one my car's ever given me.>2008 camry
