Hobby. Ive got an 83 280zx, 91 318iS E30, and a 19 WRX Sti.

Still looking for a 90s impreza coupe or sedan.

Yeah unless you’re wealthy there’s really no point in buying a brand new car

One of the silliest financial decisions there is

Same with leasing a car or as Dave Ramsey likes to call it a “fleece”

Do you have 3 sets of legs to drive all 3?

Yes

Dude an octopus

I'm perfectly fine with buying a brand new car if I don't ever plan on selling it.

I'm talking about holding that b**** for 10 years minimum. Only time I see a reason to buy a brand new car.

Buying one that's only 3 years old is probably a wiser financial decision though

This guy gets it

Tbh just move to NYC and ditch the car payment, maintenance, gas, parking, insurance all together 👍

And pay 1800/month for a cardboard box

You heard “87” and “months” back to back at a dealership and didn’t b-line it to the nearest exit?

OP should only buy this car if he’s one of them niggas getting drafted to the NFL this weekend. And even then, it’d still be a s***ty financial decision.

absolutely great advice

You're about to make one of the greater mistakes in your life. Please don't. You'll find a better way, believe me.

You make more when you work in the city doofus

Plus rents are way cheaper rn. Live in Brooklyn queens or jersey city

Thats almost a whole decade of monthly payments on that s***

"yea bro its a steal"

almost 45K interest

My car was 60 months to own and I felt like an idiot for agreeing to that (the APR was fair though, like 5%). 87 months is insane. What are y'all doing? Cars depreciate like crazy.

You also spend way more when you live in the city too. You ever wonder why commuting is a thing?

My wife has a step brother who was in and out of jail for a while

One of his first decisions after getting out in 2014 was to buy a car even though I don't think he had steady income yet and his credit was a mess

The monthly payments were like $450 The s*** people do for cars I swear

Personally I wouldn’t make as much $$$ living elsewhere. Even though I have higher expenses, I have a higher disposable income. Allows me to invest 2-3x what I could outside of NYC. Plus the career opportunities are much better.

That's insane...
you clearly can not afford the car.

Nigga if you don’t get a used bonda bivic
