@daveramsey: “With what we spend on all these car repairs, we could have a nice car.”   Have you ever heard that one? I’ve said that one. Believe me, you could rationalize spending $350,000 on a car using that dadgum math that doesn’t work.   Or how about, “I’m going to buy an electric car to save on gas.”   How long is it going to take you to make all that money back on gas milage? Are you driving to the moon and back?   You’ve got to stop and think and do the math before you make these big financial decisions. #cars #electriccar #prius #moneytips

Mathematically he's right but there's a certain mental fatigue that comes with owning an unreliable car that breaks down once a year.

you can find a 1000 dollar car that lasts you 5-10 years.. no payment but be prepared to replace things along the way

easier to have a 500 dollar payment than come up with 2 grand to put a transmission in your vehicle. I see it every day

In 2012 we traded our expensive truck for a Prius. Yeah we’ve probably drove it to the moon and back. 🤣 & we’ve saved a lot in gas & no car payment. It’s like down sizing houses, teach that.

No difference between a 300 a month payment with better gas mileage, than repairs worse gas mileage. It’s about the same and no headache with the payment

Yes, every time I buy a used car I easily spend 4k+/year in repair. Yes I can have a new car payment for that or less.

Prius is probably the most reliable car you could have. I don’t see what’s wrong with that if you pay it in cash and maybe get it used. I’m not a car or truck guy, I just like getting from A to B.

Called out twice in one video…repairs on a 7.3 powerstroke and fuel mileage on a Sierra 1500. Looking back I should have just kept one or both of them instead of buying a new car

I own a salvaged 2013 scion xb since 2020. I've done $6000 in repairs since and it runs great. people have already traded in their 2020 cars for "reliable" cars. Cry me a freaking river people.

I mean..if you're going from a gas guzzling old truck to a prius and it saves you 100 a week in gas over the course of the 6yrs of payments. then it actually works out
