    I agree that buying a used car is the best thing to do financially but it can come with a lot of hassles. First off most people don't maintain their cars well. You have to get the used car inspected thoroughly by a private mechanic and even then that is no guarantee that he will catch everything wrong with the car. That's why I prefer paying cash and buying new. The difference with me is I always keep the car at least 15 years and preferably longer. I have been doing it that way for the past 45 years.

      I don't regret buying new. I intended to buy used and pay in full, so I had a sizable sum saved. But, when it came time to actually get the car, the used cars were so overpriced that the nice, low milage, good condition cars were about the same amount as a brand new Toyota Camry. Either way, I was going to have to finance even with my sizable down payment. I decided to go with the brand new Camry. Zero regrets. I love the car, and I will be paying it off this month!

      It is not but it is, why?
      Your car takes you to work so you can make money, if you do landscaping you need a car to transport your tools, if you do construction you need a car to load it with tools/materials
      If you do Uber, Lyft, food delivery etc your car is an investment, if you have a big new car that burns a lot of gas only to cruise around or go to work then that’s not an investment because you’re burning too much gas so you need a smaller older car.

    My family convinced me to lease a car and my ex at the time was so against it. I will admit-he was right. Now I ended up having to drive way more than expected, so reliability was good, but def went over mileage and it was way too expensive for what I made.
    I have to buy it out now and luckily I was able to extend it so I can pay it off, but next time only certified used. 🤞🏼

  • @davelively7423
    @davelively7423 Месяц назад

    If you are paying cash for a car don't expect a good deal. Most car salesmen think cash is trash. They make more money from financing and selling extended warranties than they do from actually selling cars these days. Just as credit card companies consider people that pay in full every month deadbeats car dealers are not fond of cash buyers. The dealer gets paid from whoever is giving the loan and its easier to upsell people only concerned with a monthly payment add-ons like extended warranties, service plans and other extras. A lot of incentives car makers offer now consist of special financing offers with no option of getting a discount instead. I still pay cash but its frustrating that paying cash makes car buying even more of a hassle than it usually is.

    By this line of thinking buying anything that could be replaced by something cheaper is dumb. But I bet you she buys steak over pork sometimes or flavoured beverages of water. How about her nice décor in the background which serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever. Almost everything loses value when considering opportunity costs. At some point you have to include your own happiness in the equation. Yeah my M5 will lost monetary value over the years but the smile on my face when I drive it is worth something too.

    Car loans ARE a bad investment, but one that is even worse is buying something using leverage. Now THAT will wipe out ALL of your equity, bot it won’t stop there. Leverage amplifies gains, but it also amplifies losses. That’s why the calling it being “under water.” Stay “under water” too long and you drown (financially).
