No

Depreciation is heavily emphasized on, definitely not overlooked by any means.

Difference between the new car and the old car though is that a new car has warranty.

Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to convince someone going into debt, I'd rather pay something in cash and suggest you do so as well but your particular situation is different where you will absolutely benefit from buying a new, affordable vehicle.

However, you need to buy a new vehicle with the intent to keep it. The whole "loses depreciation driving it off the lot" is a moot point if you never intend to sell it so not exactly sure why you should mention it.

 

$1,000 is a solid price as long as you get the Pink slip.

Everything you touch seems to break, if you’re gonna take a loan don’t do it on something 27 years old, just get something like this.

something low mile, newer year, reliable and cheap
I used to think an old Toyota was perfect cheap transportation for anyone, but you have taught me that only works if you will do the work yourself. There will inevitably be things that break on something that old, and with current labor prices every little thing is going to come out to be like $1000 to pay someone to fix. I bet you could go 5 years with that corolla and never pay for anything but oil and maybe tires.

 

Well at least I didn’t just buy someone’s clapped out, cut up trail rot on 40s for 22k

 

Well now that you said that, you have the out the member cause you got me curious

 

But to add to that, maybe that person got a better deal than you. How much has your Master's made you back?

 

Honestly I don’t trust anything built after 2020. Those newer Corollas also have builds quality issues; they’re decent cars, but not like the old ones. I would look at a decently maintained 05-08 model though.

 

It was one of Zane’s friends lol

 

Im waiting on a job offer starting at 60k a year here locally

 

Well, if it's a friend of his, I'm betting this friend can fix it himself versus taking it to a mechanic

 

Well, I do hope you get something soon!

Hate to hear about you having to constantly throw money at shit. You need something newer to drive.

 

Tbf everyone I talked to with one of these is constantly dumping money into it. Cars are just money pits, unless you get an old cockroach like Zane’s old Corolla

 

An 05 is almost 20 years old, if you don’t do the work yourself that’s honestly just too old imo

 

Dude asked ChatGPT to roast his car, ends up roasting the entire OBW community

 

Constantly dumping money into what exactly?

Tons of reliable cars out in the world.

 

Yea but they just don’t break if the maintenance was decent. My Camry was 21 years old when I had it, and it never gave me a single issue.

 

Mods and repairs.

 

Mods are optional.

Repairs are expected on old vehicles, and it can happen to new ones too.

I think after all the discussions everyone has had with you, the best option for you is to go car-less.

 

He sold it, dunno the guy who bought it
