I bought a used 2009 Honda Civic for $2400… got it off a random old friend who was moving to Seattle ina pinch she didn’t know anything about cars. Had 113k miles on it. Works fine. All in all I’m $3500 in after small maintenance and state tax fees etc. dash cam and a light bar it’s perfect for commuting. No car payments. Insurance is $33/month. $40 for gas full tank lasts me a little around 6-7 days of commuting. Has gotten me across a 14 hr road trip , that’s one way. It’s the perfect car and all I had to do was wait and sacrifice my old Volvo wagon for a few more months before that opportunity popped up in my network.

    My sister and I both bought cars in April of 2021. I bought an ‘06 Corolla LE off a dinky little car lot for $4400 cash. I was stunned when she told me she bought a 2016 MERCEDES from Carmax or maybe it was Carvana. I don’t even wanna know what the interest rate is, but the payment is just shy of $700. She figured if she was going to have a car payment, it may as well be a nice car. Insurance is almost $300 a month. I don’t know why she didn’t settle for a more practical car. Yeah, I have the occasional repair that sometimes takes a chunk, but I couldn’t deal with an almost $700 payment EVERY month.

    Usually true of vehicles but not always. With the chip back log, vehicle values rose dramatically from five years ago. People sold used trucks for more than they purchased them. Plus, investment returns are never written in stone. Return rates of 10-15% are casually thrown out there but it's not like they're bonds so you can't count on them.
