If he waits long enough he can use his accrued interest from his savings to bring his negative checking balance back into the black.
My friend put a 150 shot of nitrious on a old explorer that drove his family around. He then grenaded the motor when it leaked/burned all the oil up and thought the oil pressure gauge was just faulty and kept on driving.

agreed and we should all live within walking distance of everything we do or have access to public transport and no one should live in rural areas and then when everyone congests into cities we should all complain about urban overcrowding and how nice it was before public transportation wasn't so overtaxed and there were less homeless and housing prices weren't so steep and population density issues weren't a factor and also I'm a goddamn moron

I have a friend that spent 35k on a loving Kia of all things. That sounded like a lot to me but I guess I’m just old and still kind of shook about his much new cars cost these days.

The idea is to cram them into cities, then release a virus which spreads like wildfire on filthy, crowded mass transit to thin them out.

Settle down, I mortgage my house to answer your question. Even MR BIG SHOT PAID CASH loses a gently caress load of money the second you drive off the lot. If owning a Brand New Ford Explorer(of all fuckin things lol) means so much to you, by all means. But you're probably the first person to piss and moan when your trade in value 5 years later is piss garbage.

I'll say this though, loving trucks hold a significant value. Dodge, Ford, Chevy all put out equally trash trucks with fairly durable drivetrains, and all three of them, 5 years old, already all of the fenders are rusted out and weld jobs on the exhaust and bed performed, and it's still 30k.

I never said I bought fords, I buy 4runners. And I’ve not once had a bad trade in, they hold quite well and never had to complain for resale value, MR PROJECTION! :) my current has 220k miles and is a 2010. Still shines in the sun.

Toyota, Honda etc are solid purchases, can agree. Never an investment, but still something you can get a little back on when it's time for a refresh. this thread is about a ford though so lmao.

I don't understand the argument, "it's just cars". Second to buying a house, it's up there with the most serious major purchases someone could make. Cars can gently caress you so hard, and it isn't always immediately clear that it's reliable or not, even brand new. I back this argument with the reality that, yea you may have to sacrifice Bluetooth capability, for something that's actually gonna get you where you need to be: the precise purpose of a car.

I'm a little mad about cars I guess. But mainly because there isn't any sort of movement to help people make smart purchases, and there are so many lovely cars out there, but that's capitalism, so I'm mad about capitalism.

happyhippy posted:

Why do US cars all look the same?

The auto industry is worse than the music and movie industries when it comes to copying what sells versus experimenting with something new. At least the obscene monstrosity that was the Hummer is still dead and probably not coming back! (but I wish the Escalade would die too)

I don't know about other domestics but I'm now a former Ford owner and they do make a good product. My '05 Escape was 100% reliable and the only problems it ever gave me were wear and tear related. I got it used in '07 for $24k and I vowed that I would drive it "until it fell apart." And I'd still be driving it right now if I hadn't gotten rear-ended at a stop sign in late March, with the other guy's insurance declaring it a "total loss" after the revised estimate went up to $5k after the body shop actually took off the bumper and saw the extra frame damage. :( In the end the most viable option was to take the insurance's $3330 settlement to buy out the car from me and I wound up getting a great deal on a '14 Kia Sorento last week that was already on a virus-related sale the dealer had going.

But yes, ALWAYS look at used inventory first; if you look hard enough and your timing is right you're likely to find something as good as new. Especially if there was only one previous owner, who were wealthy suburbanites that turned in perfectly good cars after 2-4 years of ownership because they wanted a "new" car (that Escape, which she'd only put 11k km onto), or something "larger" - which was the story of my new car, which I will also drive until it falls apart but now with even more gusto - and why not? This one has Bluetooth, satellite radio, AND a smart key! Besides a hybrid fuel system, what else could I need?

(Yes I bought the warranty too.)
