Scotty Kilmer: I’ll keep my ‘94 Celica 😂😂

[daynapeterson]

Buying ANY car right now is a horrible idea as the prices are up exponentially. Craziest story I ever heard was my neighbor just bought a new truck to the tune of 85k and his payments are $1200 a month! Hope the seats recline as he may soon be living in it.

Dave shows his passion for helping people. This caller was a soft target to easily beat up & laugh at. But instead, Dave even toned down his co-host to pull the caller aside to mentor him. Good on Dave.

George: “so you’re getting a 60k car with a 60k salary”
Caller: ”well when you put it that way, it sounds worse”
there’s no other way to put it😂

I own rental houses. I'm a great landlord and my houses are nice, but trust me Dave is right. People are gross. Renters do not care. Just one little example: I had one tenant who cut out the bottom of the doors in the house so his cat could go from room to room without opening the door.

Dave’s body language and facial expressions have me laughing soooo hard. Dave even closed his eyes, like “oh my God” at one point 🤣

Turo is not passive income. You have to clean/prepare/maintain the car for the next renter...assuming the car rents out at all.

In the past I’ve seen how Dave talks down on people and makes fun of them but recently I’ve seen Dave be more compassionate and caring for the callers. Great approach! Loving and caring

Been driving 2004 Chevy 1500 since 2012, it’s cool cause nobody wants to park too closely with their 60K cars.

$900/MONTH? Ugh. Just hearing that would've made me run in the opposite direction. I just don't understand people owning/buying expensive cars like they're worth something. All it takes is a split moment of someone not paying attention, and that vehicle is gone. Yes, they would get insurance money (most likely), but it wouldn't be near the amount paid for the car. It's just nuts to me.

Ordering a Tesla when the KIA SOUL isnt paid off ????

Glad Dave used this as a teaching moment for this young man rather than insulting him for a lack of wisdom.

[murtasma]

We have a major problem if banks are approving loans for someone that's still young with an already current car loan for 60k. Pure insanity by both parties.

[AJayDrives]

Sounds like the situation I was about to be in a few weeks ago. I'm 20 years old, no other debt other than my current car and single. I was about to put down 15k on a new Toyota Supra and I make 60k a year with the car being worth the same amount. Walked into the dealership feeling confident and when I heard that monthly payment with the interest on top of my insurance, I remember sweating and began shaking. I walked out and I soon as I left I felt a huge amount of panic leave my system. 😂

Hey. Should I buy something super expensive and let other people destroy the value of it??

[teenyverse]

You can literally cancel your Tesla order... up and until your car is ready.

[schuylergeery-zink]

I bought a hail damaged lightly used (less than 20k miles) 2013 Tesla Model S a couple years back for $30k. I know it’s not as “fun” as ordering a new one but there are ways to find sweet deals on cool cars! You can drive a car you love for a discount!

[aajordan]

No car makes you happy after your 1st payment. A car only make you happy if it is paid off and you have put 200k on it with no repairs.

The SMART system George uses:
Self-awareness
Motivation
Affordability (in cash)
Research
Timing (right time to buy?)

[noshrinkingviolet]

The Tesla concept is cool and I'm a fan of Elon, but never in a million years would I buy one or pay that much for a car. I was shocked to find out recently that you can only have them repaired by Tesla and the batteries are SUPER expensive. No thank you.
