    Ben. I was wondering how you did it. Thanks for explaining. I just love your videos! Saving early was smart. Plus not paying interest is also smart. In July I will have my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo paid off. First car paid off since 1993! Need to keep my cars longer. My GC is a Laredo 4*4 with no options. But it has a lot. Sticker was $34k and with rebates I paid $28k! What a bargain! Keep the great videos coming.

      Ben, thanks for sharing how you did it. You didn’t have to but you did. It’s a good story and I have much respect for you knowing you earned it. I see from another post you are inspiring others! You took a great risk. One positive from this pandemic is I discovered your channel and others with the time I had. Can’t believe this has been out here way before 2020. I now follow several channels and am learning a lot. Thanks again.

  • @louisstennes3
    @louisstennes3 Год назад +5

    Your insurance is very reasonable. My guess is that with 4 vehicles and just you and your wife driving, you probably get a "few miles driven per year" rate when you average it out over 4 vehicles. Just wait until the little one drives and wants that GT!

    With how many of your videos I've watched I honestly thought you had way more subs then you do.. but you're almost always in the top "suggested"videos if I wanna find out about a car. I don't care about every car you cover but I do care about some and with your connections you're covering 98%of the market.
    I honestly just looked 212k but every video gets over 10k views because there's probably 10k people at any given time searching for every new car out there. You found a market and an idea and you're making good money doing it? That's the American dream, keep doing what you're doing, you earned what you've got.
    Another huge thing is people are just really horrible with their money, if you people stop buying dumb stuff they'd easily be able to afford half of what you have. Good for you man thank you for all the honest reviews

    Maintenance for the Defender. @ $1000. A year. Probably. While it’s under warranty. After the warranty expires that will cover about one round of preventative maintenance from the dealer. Then the radiator will fail….then the water pump….the lights will need replacing. Brakes in three years…oh forget about it. Once the differential and air suspension needs to be replaced you will be scrambling to unload it ASAP. Depreciation. The next owner will love the great deal he gets on it.
