He could've financed a slightly used M4 for less than $65,000. Not saying that would've been a good idea but he would be hurting less and having more fun lmao

I just buy used, period. Within a year a car has "off the lot depreciation" so you can get better deals for cars still in practically factory condition (low miles, clean).
You have to watch with buying a used vs. new car. Assuming you're going to finance through a dealership, used cars can incur a higher interest than new cars. A lot of times, manufacturers will have "sales" going on with X.X% interest for XX amount of months. I wish I would have looked into that more. I purchased a used 2016 WRX in 2018 and my interest rate was 5.9%. In 2020, I traded it in on a brand new STi and my interest is 1.9%. I had to finance more money for my STi, but I'm still paying a lot less in interest than what I did with my WRX. In conclusion, pay cash for a used car and it will be worth it compared to a new car. If you're financing, look into new cars and the different special offers various manufacturers have to offer.
@Fiend Busa It depends on the model and resale value. Something like a Toyota won't have much depreciation within a year but other brands will lose a lot of value within just a few years.
Quick story, I tried to buy a type R back when they came out, But since price gouging was at an all time high I decided to settle on a sport hatch. The day I went to look at it I took my mom with me, cause I needed a ride to get there. As I was looking at the hatch she asked me “Is this really what you want? I know you wanted the other one and you are settling for this but will you really be happy with that in the long run?” My answer “it is good enough for now.” She looks over at an Si and says what’s the difference between these two? I proceed to te her it is the in between of the type R and the hatch. Her response “They why not get that one? It’s about the same price and it’s closer to what you want so you will probably be happier with it.” I ended up with an Si... And I have never been happier to not get the “better” car. Moral of the story if you are out buying your first new car take someone who will keep you planted (and yeah I got a lecture about the paint choice too - thanks mom).
@Sweet Trap Magi nope. Before covid I drove mine like 20k+ a year. No issue. Last week I had to have the ac condenser replaced under warranty. Lack of driving over this last year probably caused the seals to dry out (I have been driving my old IS300 more recently).

@@hibutmars1024 thanks for the tip, I'm probably not gonna find something AWD anymore since they get taken pretty quickly, but I'll make sure to keep this in mind.

Still, good luck! And hey, serious talk, if you can't find a cheap manual... so what. Just save ur money and get an automatic that'll last and go problem free for a few years so u can save money and buy the car u want in the future rather than get a car u were forced to get in the present... if u get what im saying... yeah, standard is cool and whatever in the US (and its pretty good for snow too), but honestly, if ur young and are stressing out trying to find a good manual, it's not worth ur time. Believe it or not, most people u know that own a standard trans will let u learn to drive it. Just ask a buddy or a church acquaintance with a manual and ask if they could teach u to drive it bc u really wanna learn. and 9 out of 10 times they'll let u drive it. Then again, a manual is a good idea (according to some mechanics) when buying used bc they are pretty simple machines. Good luck agaim!
@Azael it mainly depends what your skills are the cheaper it is the more that's wrong with it(in most cases) the best place to buy them is to use internet applications like ebay and such but check in at your local car wreckers/breakers if you run out of options even give them your number to them and tell them "if X car comes to you let me be the first to know and I'll pay you X amount in cash ready to take it away as soon as possible" in advance so if anything turns up you'll be the first to know. Also back to skills if it's up north and gets extremely cold it'll be prone to heavy so you'll need to know how to patch it up properly if its 100k+ engine (which are usually the cheapest of the lot) you'll need to know how to rebuild the engine and so the best place to buy one is in a dry warm part of the USA year round and if you live in the colder regions is to buy from outside your region for less hassle.
Always remember guys, get your credit score high, so that way if you do need a loan its like 5% and you dont pay for a banker to get a new car... dont be like timmy and take your financial life seriously
Man this stories make me love my old used V6 Camaro more, i just don't care what people say i'm happy i have a fun car without being in a debt at the age of 19
Yup. Hindsight’s 20/20 and he was impatient. He couldn’t outright afford to finance better cars but instead rolled negative equity over and over again into his next loan.
Here I am being wary about rolling over the last 3k I have left in my base impreza to trade up to a base WRX. It's only 16k, pretty tempting and I live at home and work full time rn I'm thinking about it. But 20k could take awhile to pay off, idk I make a fair amount, I'm entry mechanic, or basically a glorified lube tech but I make a fair amount
I enjoy your stories man. Thank you for sharing. This video was frightening. He traded in 2 Civic Si’s for the craziest reasons. He could have unmodded the first one. Paid it off. He could have changed the color of the first one for a few hundreds. Even wrap it. The financial system doesn’t care about ppl financial intelligence. We just gonna be paying back all our lives. Big goal when dealing with cars is to pay it out cash, or finance it with a lot down & pay it off ASAP. Financial freedom is more important than the liabilities.
I have the chance to get a 2021 Civic with as low as a 0.25% interest. Might end up being like 1%-2%. I'm thinking about buying It. Btw, this Is with financing through my Credit Union that has their own cars that they buy and give loans for their cars. It cuts out the dealership. The only think I am wondering Is If I would still have warranty.
Thanks for the video man. I’m in my early 20s and this gives me motivation to make the right decisions and not be emotionally lead to make a purchase on a vehicle
In February I got my first car loan for my 05 Subaru Legacy GT. It's only a $5k loan, but at 36 months and a 19% interest rate. Which hurts, but I'll definitely be trying to pay it off as quickly as possible
@@TheCarpenterUnion bs I have a credit score of 680 and got 3.21 apr, go get pre-approval at a credit union not at a car dealerships Edit: it is only low because I don't really use credit and don't have many lines open.
My options right now are a 350z and Hyundai Genesis coupe. I’ve got about 7k cash and a car worth maybe a little more than $3,000. I want something fast, fun, sounds good, and luxury would be nice so I think the Genesis coupe is my best option but it costs at least $15,000 for one that hasn’t been in an accident and doesn’t have high mileage u think it would be a wise financial decision? I think my parents are letting me use them as a loan so no interest rate on the loan or maybe a little interest
@@ryanmack3223 It probably comes down to personal preference, I would choose the 350z. Interior wise they both aren't too luxurious but the Z will probably outlast the genesis as the VQ engine is rated for 200k miles. I haven't driven the genesis but on paper they are similar in performance. The Z also makes a great drift car if you want to go there in the future.
@@FadedG0 yea but I z’s are like 10-12k for a decentish one and I’d have to look not it but insurance is probably more it only has two seats and the Genesis looks a lot better in my opinion but I heard the z feels faster and is more fun to drive u can make it faster pretty easily too but it doesn’t sound nearly as good as u can make the genesis sound imo
This is insanely accurate Ppl walk to the slaughter for car debt all for perceived Clout Sadly a car loan is so normalized nowadays just like phone loans smh
Yea we're having another financial crash cuz ppl just can't seem to keep their hands off debt. Ppl going into debt to buy stocks (margin) is probably gonna cause 2008 level crash
I had a similar experience but not nearly to this degree. I had gotten an NB Miata and actually felt like I would never give that car up. Then I wanted a bit more speed so I sold it and went to get a used focus st. I liked it at first but then those monthly payments and full coverage insurance really drag on you. So glad I went the used route after selling it I only had to pay 2k to cover the rest of the loan. Then bought a crown Vic to get me around until I was financially stable enough to get something else. Now I have a Prius c which saves me an unbelievable amount of money at the pump and will eventually get myself a fun car again after i can pay it cash. No more auto loans for me.

sorry for those in debt... that is why I buy all my cars cash... my parents kept telling me to just finance a car to build credit, but at I honestly didn't want to take the risk (I'm a student and my only income is scholarship money... and my family is poor despite their dedication to support me). I bought my 1st car, a Nissan Sentra, for 2500usd (more like 4000 bc it needed a tires, brakes, a ton of fluid changes, etc.)... and I bought my second car, an 8th gen Civic Si, for 11000usd... all u have to do is save money! Admittedly, I saved money from my uni stipend/scholarship... but it isn't even close to the amount that a full time below minimum wage (at least for the coastal West of the US) job will get u... all u have to do is save and be realistic. You can still get a sick car in fairly good condition. Sure, my Civic Si has miles and many scratches and dings... but it still revs to 8000, still changes cam profiles, and never grinds when shifting (it needs some suspension repair and tires soon but honestly dont even drive it that much... and when I do, its mostly to a store or a friends house)... good luck to all those with car debt and please be realistic if ur young and looking for a used car... literally no one will judge u if u r carving about in ur Chevy Aveo or doing motorway pulls in ur parent's Toyota Sienna (if ur doing it safely, that is)... I think rcr said this --> 'your first car should make u money', not the other way around.. and there is nothing wrong paying only cash for ur car if u feel unsure about ur financial stability. Also, a nice car will only get attention from preteen boys and other car oriented teens/college students... if u think ur gonna get girls with ur new financed car, forget it lol, Chad's barely running slipping-automatic single alloy w/ tires balder than ur uncle Joe 2007 Kia Spectra is more than enough lmao 😅
Listening to this story and yours, and also taking an intro to business and personal finance class for my semester this spring, I'm thankful for learning this stuff, and when my parents purchased their new cars I went with them so I could learn the buying processing because I'm never financing a car at full price

The worst part he spent this much on a civic si. I'm Canadian and my civic costs $32,000 with a 6.98% interest for 7 years. Since it is an open loan i can put more money towards that loan now im looking at 2 years paying $3000 in interest which isnt that bad. He's spending another $73000 more than my civic. There are dodge vipers for sale here 2007-2009 with 50,000-75000km that are selling for $70,000-$80,000.
i went a similar route in my life. buying cars and roll over debt into the new one with added rims and expensive tires. i just stopped,kept my honda accord 2.4l cu2 (usa acura) drive a vw polo 1.0l from 93 with 45hp (in mint condition)to work. and have a vw dasher coupe 1.3l 55hp (in mint condition)sitting in the garage for sommernight drive outs. i just stopped consuming and buying stuff to attract people that i really dont even like. im 47 now,debt free and besides rent,food and other must have like insurance...my whole income 3200€ after tax goes into my nike shoebox as cashmoney. since the banks messing around by trying to end physical fiat,im thinking about to change my wealth into 999 fine gold by the gramm. yall know these 50gr goldplates where you can brake off 1 gr pieces... no matter what happens,i can always change that into current fiat on this planet. gold is somewhat stable with highs and lows but better the yearly 2.5% inflation by the central bank. i think i will do that in the near future,just to get rid of the smelly notes and be a little more safe not to walk up and just take out cash just because i think i have to consume something that....you allready know😉 my honda is still fresh after 10years. i love my vw polo breadvan because it costs nearly nothing and my vw dasher sits most of the time in the underground garage chilling. i used to hang on the pcu and buy air jordans every saturday just to have the feeling to beat somebody and have another box to stuff up in the room...🤦🏾♂️ glad i almost sold everypair i have bought over the last 6 years. i love living in peace...my mind is at ease...real freedom. yeah i could picture myself in a hellcat and could even buy it cashmoney.... but why? naw...im good...🙏🏾✊🏾
Most adults have auto debt, not many people have 20-50k cash to just throw down on a new reliable vehicle. I just bought a 2021 Toyota Tacoma trd off-road. I wouldn’t have been able to do that without taking on a loan. Granted I have good credit so I got a great apr of 2.9%. So no I don’t think auto debt is a bad thing as long as you are financially ready to take on the loan and get a good deal.
@@RodriguezUS buying the right brand new car is a great financial decision. The truck I chose has the highest resale value in America right now and has for the past 10 years. Prior to this new truck I owned a 2008 dodge 3500 6.7 cummins. Within 2 years I had put over 10k into it just to keep it running and I was tired of that so bought a brand new Toyota. In 5 years from now I’ll be able to sell my new truck for pretty damn close to what I bought it at. So I agree that buying a new vehicle isn’t smart unless you are buying the right one.
People getting scammed on interest is sadly so common. They also can't do anything about it because they already agreed. They end up paying 20% when they should've been paying possibly less than 4%. I don't have any issues with people taking out fairly large loans for cars because frankly, if you can make a decent down payment and already have good credit it isn't a terrible idea. Especially if your main interest is cars and you are an enthusiast. However the problem comes when you aren't financially educated and pay way to much and just assume you will be able to afford it. Chances are you probably can, but you are getting scammed. Also I will say this, if you didn't pay cash for the car don't be financing modifications. I also would only finance cars at the bottom of the depreciation curve or that are going up in value. If you come to me saying you financed multiple 2021 civic si's, I would slap you. If you told me you financed 3 ap2 Honda s2000s and can actually afford the payments easily. That's understandable, because you are leveraging the debt to make money in the long term.
Don’t buy cars more than 10-15k if you’re getting rates higher than 10%, put some cash down if you’re getting rates higher than 5%, don’t buy cars that excessively depreciate if you don’t have to, use cash down to eliminate as much negative equity as possible. If you want to flip out of cars every year or two it’s going to cost you money.
Whe buying a dealership no matter no how much it seems a month its better to have a 48 month plan instead of 84 it might seem's cheaper but DO THE MATH !!! The a.p.r. kills in long term contracts
Gotta watch those miles when buying used trucks. I see people financing Cummins with 200k miles for like $20,000 then complain when their truck starts to fall apart and now they don’t have a truck and are still in debt.
My gf will pay $60K for a base model 2018 jeep renegade. She rolled some negative equity from her old car and got a loan with a 18% interest rate. I warned her and explained everything to her. 2 years into her 6 year loan, she finally gets it.
ya I messed up my situation because I sold my suburban and bought a used dodge Cummins I didn't owe anything on the suburban then the Cummins 3 years later broke the trans 3x in one month so I had to get something else well I stupidly bought a chevy cruze hated that care was paying 720 a month in when I had could have bought a 1500 ram for 300 a month then said thats to high and ened up buying the cruze well to get a vehicle i could use i traded the cruze in for a ram 1500 a year in to having the cruze
why would he just buy 3 new cars in like what, 2 years? and if i wanted a newer red Civic SI i’ll just wrap the old one red and do facelift conversion plus all the improvements.
how to be a car guy: get -30000 in debt by car loan buy mods you cannot afford nor do you need 0$ in savings for rainy days or investment also your 22.. you don't need a new car. you can easily buy a used older si for 10k that isn't too old or too new.

Might go with a Honda or Jetta (though I'm not sure about the Jetta being reliable...) if I can find a not as rusted and not as high mileage in FB marketplace.
@@igreyfox9793 as long as its solid u know... Ive seen standard Jettas with 300k miles still running strong. But ive also seen them fall apart at 120k miles u know (my friend has an early 2000s one and the check engine light won't turn off no matter how much money she's poured into... it sucks in Cali bc u can't legally drive it w a check engine light bc smog law :(((). Still, good luck! And hey, serious talk, if you can't find a cheap manual... so what. Just save ur money and get an automatic that'll last and go problem free for a few years so u can save money and buy the car u want in the future rather than get a car u were forced to get in the present... if u get what im saying... yeah, standard is cool and whatever in the US (and its pretty good for snow too), but honestly, if ur young and are stressing out trying to find a good manual, it's not worth ur time. Believe it or not, most people u know that own a standard trans will let u learn to drive it. Just ask a buddy or a church acquaintance with a manual and ask if they could teach u to drive it bc u really wanna learn. and 9 out of 10 times they'll let u drive it. Then again, a manual is a good idea (according to some mechanics) when buying used bc they are pretty simple machines. Good luck agaim!
Man imagine spending 80k on a civic I paid for my hatchback $400 lmfao.
Spending 80k on a civic is stupid xd
@@Cookiebreedchannel spending 8k+ on a Civic is stupid. Granted I only buy used cars so 🤷
@@TaijiArban nah I think 37k for a new Type R is alright imo (if the dealership isn't charging Markups), but 80k for an Si is ludicrous
Used cars are the way to go
@Azael it mainly depends what your skills are the cheaper it is the more that's wrong with it(in most cases) the best place to buy them is to use internet applications like ebay and such but check in at your local car wreckers/breakers if you run out of options even give them your number to them and tell them "if X car comes to you let me be the first to know and I'll pay you X amount in cash ready to take it away as soon as possible" in advance so if anything turns up you'll be the first to know. Also back to skills if it's up north and gets extremely cold it'll be prone to heavy so you'll need to know how to patch it up properly if its 100k+ engine (which are usually the cheapest of the lot) you'll need to know how to rebuild the engine and so the best place to buy one is in a dry warm part of the USA year round and if you live in the colder regions is to buy from outside your region for less hassle.
For the amount of money he willingy paid for the si’s he could’ve just gotten a type r in the first place
He would have felt bad and downgraded to a slightly used red type R
Could've bought two type R's lol
With his bad credit and down payment amount he still wouldn't have been able to get a Type R...
I love learning without trying
My man really bought an entire new car just to change the color lmao
Always remember guys, get your credit score high, so that way if you do need a loan its like 5% and you dont pay for a banker to get a new car... dont be like timmy and take your financial life seriously

This video was frightening. He traded in 2 Civic Si’s for the craziest reasons. He could have unmodded the first one. Paid it off. He could have changed the color of the first one for a few hundreds. Even wrap it. The financial system doesn’t care about ppl financial intelligence. We just gonna be paying back all our lives.
Big goal when dealing with cars is to pay it out cash, or finance it with a lot down & pay it off ASAP. Financial freedom is more important than the liabilities.
Got a 2019 Lexus UX at the auction for $25k
When you're too broke to properly care for your 🚲 but, you still got something that can get you from point A to point B 😈😈😈
I got an ad for the Civic SI on this video haha
My sister in law is 50k in debt for a 2018 Nissan Altima SR wants to get a new Toyota Highlander platinum (45k) car
Only reason I don’t pay my car off early is to build credit
You can build credit for free with credit cards. There is no need to pay 17% APR just for that. Unless your loan is 2-4%
@@RodriguezUS couldn’t get approved for a card and my interest on my loan isn’t really your business
I have the chance to get a 2021 Civic with as low as a 0.25% interest. Might end up being like 1%-2%. I'm thinking about buying It. Btw, this Is with financing through my Credit Union that has their own cars that they buy and give loans for their cars. It cuts out the dealership. The only think I am wondering Is If I would still have warranty.
WHAT?! I can't even...
I need to be careful with my money man...
Thanks for the video man. I’m in my early 20s and this gives me motivation to make the right decisions and not be emotionally lead to make a purchase on a vehicle
In February I got my first car loan for my 05 Subaru Legacy GT. It's only a $5k loan, but at 36 months and a 19% interest rate. Which hurts, but I'll definitely be trying to pay it off as quickly as possible
Big yikes. My advice is pay double every month
He could've just gotten a Type R...
This is why I only shop on Facebook Marketplace
Love your channel, it helps me understand my stupid financial decisions, and lets see more stories like this!
Tell him to trade his si in for a “lightly used” 2018 type r and STOP.. just STOP
I dont think ill ever be moved to buy new let someone else take the hit besides it may not be new but its new to you and thats what matters

The used 350z I paid for with cash sounds like the best purchase in the world after seeing this. Don’t buy cars you can’t afford man!
My options right now are a 350z and Hyundai Genesis coupe. I’ve got about 7k cash and a car worth maybe a little more than $3,000. I want something fast, fun, sounds good, and luxury would be nice so I think the Genesis coupe is my best option but it costs at least $15,000 for one that hasn’t been in an accident and doesn’t have high mileage u think it would be a wise financial decision? I think my parents are letting me use them as a loan so no interest rate on the loan or maybe a little interest
@@ryanmack3223 It probably comes down to personal preference, I would choose the 350z. Interior wise they both aren't too luxurious but the Z will probably outlast the genesis as the VQ engine is rated for 200k miles. I haven't driven the genesis but on paper they are similar in performance. The Z also makes a great drift car if you want to go there in the future.
@@FadedG0 yea but I z’s are like 10-12k for a decentish one and I’d have to look not it but insurance is probably more it only has two seats and the Genesis looks a lot better in my opinion but I heard the z feels faster and is more fun to drive u can make it faster pretty easily too but it doesn’t sound nearly as good as u can make the genesis sound imo
This is insanely accurate

True, looking at new cars should never be an option unless it's for work

All this for a civic . SMH, sad he has to learn this lesson the extremely hard way for the next couple of YEARS.
He'll never financially recover from this
Yea we're having another financial crash cuz ppl just can't seem to keep their hands off debt. Ppl going into debt to buy stocks (margin) is probably gonna cause 2008 level crash
I had a similar experience but not nearly to this degree. I had gotten an NB Miata and actually felt like I would never give that car up. Then I wanted a bit more speed so I sold it and went to get a used focus st. I liked it at first but then those monthly payments and full coverage insurance really drag on you. So glad I went the used route after selling it I only had to pay 2k to cover the rest of the loan. Then bought a crown Vic to get me around until I was financially stable enough to get something else. Now I have a Prius c which saves me an unbelievable amount of money at the pump and will eventually get myself a fun car again after i can pay it cash. No more auto loans for me.
I experienced this B******* where I tell anyone with the V6 who are forced to win their muscle carrs worth a lot because right now the only car cheaper than PT Cuiser ) : I had to get an 06 Buick lacrosse cause the only things wrong was rocky engine and gage glow fixed and rust on fender y this was the only thing was this less than a PT Cruiser I wanted an EG hatch F Stealth F Dakota F Colbalt SS F a Neon SRT4 F BRZ F MR2 F Boxster F Miata F IT WAS HELL IS A FUN OR SPORTY CAR NOW A LUXURY 😔
sorry for those in debt... that is why I buy all my cars cash... my parents kept telling me to just finance a car to build credit, but at I honestly didn't want to take the risk (I'm a student and my only income is scholarship money... and my family is poor despite their dedication to support me). I bought my 1st car, a Nissan Sentra, for 2500usd (more like 4000 bc it needed a tires, brakes, a ton of fluid changes, etc.)... and I bought my second car, an 8th gen Civic Si, for 11000usd... all u have to do is save money! Admittedly, I saved money from my uni stipend/scholarship... but it isn't even close to the amount that a full time below minimum wage (at least for the coastal West of the US) job will get u... all u have to do is save and be realistic. You can still get a sick car in fairly good condition. Sure, my Civic Si has miles and many scratches and dings... but it still revs to 8000, still changes cam profiles, and never grinds when shifting (it needs some suspension repair and tires soon but honestly dont even drive it that much... and when I do, its mostly to a store or a friends house)... good luck to all those with car debt and please be realistic if ur young and looking for a used car... literally no one will judge u if u r carving about in ur Chevy Aveo or doing motorway pulls in ur parent's Toyota Sienna (if ur doing it safely, that is)... I think rcr said this --> 'your first car should make u money', not the other way around.. and there is nothing wrong paying only cash for ur car if u feel unsure about ur financial stability. Also, a nice car will only get attention from preteen boys and other car oriented teens/college students... if u think ur gonna get girls with ur new financed car, forget it lol, Chad's barely running slipping-automatic single alloy w/ tires balder than ur uncle Joe 2007 Kia Spectra is more than enough lmao 😅

Listening to this story and yours, and also taking an intro to business and personal finance class for my semester this spring, I'm thankful for learning this stuff, and when my parents purchased their new cars I went with them so I could learn the buying processing because I'm never financing a car at full price
Hey, previously I comment about my 2018 corolla that I pay 480 a month with 24%. What should I do to get rid of it?because I don't like it, it's a boring car.

The worst part he spent this much on a civic si. I'm Canadian and my civic costs $32,000 with a 6.98% interest for 7 years. Since it is an open loan i can put more money towards that loan now im looking at 2 years paying $3000 in interest which isnt that bad. He's spending another $73000 more than my civic. There are dodge vipers for sale here 2007-2009 with 50,000-75000km that are selling for $70,000-$80,000.

im 47 now,debt free and besides rent,food and other must have like insurance...my whole income 3200€ after tax goes into my nike shoebox as cashmoney.
since the banks messing around by trying to end physical fiat,im thinking about to change my wealth into 999 fine gold by the gramm.
yall know these 50gr goldplates where you can brake off 1 gr pieces...
no matter what happens,i can always change that into current fiat on this planet.
gold is somewhat stable with highs and lows but better the yearly 2.5% inflation by the central bank.
i think i will do that in the near future,just to get rid of the smelly notes and be a little more safe not to walk up and just take out cash just because i think i have to consume something that....you allready know😉

I literally don't know anything about this channel but I would watch this guy tell car stories all day
Most adults have auto debt, not many people have 20-50k cash to just throw down on a new reliable vehicle. I just bought a 2021 Toyota Tacoma trd off-road. I wouldn’t have been able to do that without taking on a loan. Granted I have good credit so I got a great apr of 2.9%. So no I don’t think auto debt is a bad thing as long as you are financially ready to take on the loan and get a good deal.
Since when buying a brand new vehicle became a good financial decision?
@@RodriguezUS buying the right brand new car is a great financial decision. The truck I chose has the highest resale value in America right now and has for the past 10 years. Prior to this new truck I owned a 2008 dodge 3500 6.7 cummins. Within 2 years I had put over 10k into it just to keep it running and I was tired of that so bought a brand new Toyota. In 5 years from now I’ll be able to sell my new truck for pretty damn close to what I bought it at. So I agree that buying a new vehicle isn’t smart unless you are buying the right one.
@@RodriguezUS in short Toyota’s don’t depreciate much and that’s fact.
@@RodriguezUS and I traded a truck in for it so I can never be upside down on it.
People getting scammed on interest is sadly so common. They also can't do anything about it because they already agreed. They end up paying 20% when they should've been paying possibly less than 4%. I don't have any issues with people taking out fairly large loans for cars because frankly, if you can make a decent down payment and already have good credit it isn't a terrible idea. Especially if your main interest is cars and you are an enthusiast.
However the problem comes when you aren't financially educated and pay way to much and just assume you will be able to afford it. Chances are you probably can, but you are getting scammed. Also I will say this, if you didn't pay cash for the car don't be financing modifications. I also would only finance cars at the bottom of the depreciation curve or that are going up in value. If you come to me saying you financed multiple 2021 civic si's, I would slap you. If you told me you financed 3 ap2 Honda s2000s and can actually afford the payments easily. That's understandable, because you are leveraging the debt to make money in the long term.
Just drive a junk until your credit qualify a 0%, 0.9%, 1.9% loan and get a FK8....
And civic si is not worth modding.....
This stories are starting to sound like cap.. but there are a lot of idiots out there 😂😂😂😂😂
I hope more people see this and learn from this, blows my mind why people do this to themselves..
I paid 17k 14.9 APR (Live in Mexico) for my 2017 Civic in 2017, never gonna sell the damn thing, with 80k I could pay off my brand new house.
Don’t buy cars more than 10-15k if you’re getting rates higher than 10%, put some cash down if you’re getting rates higher than 5%, don’t buy cars that excessively depreciate if you don’t have to, use cash down to eliminate as much negative equity as possible. If you want to flip out of cars every year or two it’s going to cost you money.
He definitely went to 1 of those sketchy military dealership
I know a friend who is willing to buy a Brand new Honda Civic Type R for $50k+..... Dude doesn't even make a $50k salary lmao.
Whe buying a dealership no matter no how much it seems a month its better to have a 48 month plan instead of 84
it might seem's cheaper but DO THE MATH !!! The a.p.r. kills in long term contracts
Gotta watch those miles when buying used trucks. I see people financing Cummins with 200k miles for like $20,000 then complain when their truck starts to fall apart and now they don’t have a truck and are still in debt.
