If you have a paid off reliable car, you're killing it now.

The guy who is $15, 000 upside down on his car also has a button that says "Cancel Student Debt Now!"

Is it just me or does the audio on this video sound way weirder than usual?

[bllr]

if you can’t afford to buy a car outright you can’t afford it.. car payments are how middle class or broke people stay middle class or broke

Best way is to own a car until the wheels fall off.

If you don't mind driving a low quality, low maintenance car, Teslas are pretty decent. Charging is cheaper than gas. I have a solar and battery setup at my house and don't pay much to charge my car.

He keeps saying that he bought his Lotus for 50k and sold them for 50k and basically got a "free" car. Did he not pay high registration, high insurance, gas, and maintenance on this luxury car?

[Shauneeful]

Having a fully paid off car has been so freeing! Financing a car is a thing of the past.

got myself a used hyundai for just under 7200 cash, less than 75k miles. Thats how you get a car. Instead of buying a tesla that I wanted, I got a house instead - which necessitated the car in the first place. I suppose what really put it into perspective, was how expensive mortgages are and how I need to keep my expenses under control. So the thought of having to pay 850 a month, plus taking into account property tax, fees, and INCREASED insurance made me come to quite the simple conclusion: Effing NOPE!

30000 miles on a 7 year old car isn’t typical. That’s an average on 4300 miles a year. People usually drive closer to 14000 miles a year.

I own five cars - all paid for. All five serviced and maintened by me. I bought them all private party, with issues that I fixed. Yeah, they're old, and look kinda run down but to be honest, I prefer it that way. No stress to keep it stratch, and ding free.

Thanks to you i cant buy a new car with all the money frozen up

[phaedrussmith]

I watched a car-channel video yesterday about a 1970 Road Runner. It was made so that young people could afford a cool, new car. The price was equivalent to about $26, 000.00 in today’s money. What new vehicle equivalent to the Road Runner can be purchased today for $26, 000.00?

Saved up $30k for a new car in 2023. Ended up buying two used cars (SUV and convertible) for $27k. I was only able to do what I did and negotiate because I paid CASH. You negotiate and research cars like an expert when you are using your hard earned cash. It just hits differently.

This is why you always go to a credit union and get pre approved for a car loan so then the dealership will have to beat your pre approved rate if they want that deal and not play that game.

[Jill_Horvath]

I’m so grateful I’ve never once had a car payment. I saved up and paid cash for both cars I’ve owned☺️

Congratulations on the wedding my friend!
