@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.

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

I bought a 2000 Cadillac, with 35000 miles for $5000. It needed $6000 worth of repairs in the first year. Then it got stolen, and I only had liability.

I put 70k my 2001 chevy silverado in 4 years and went to the shop 10 times in that time period and spend around $10,000 total. I would've been smarter to have bought a truck for 10k more 4 years ago

As someone out of debt and homeowner I go 1000 miles on one tank of gas. It’s a win win.

My car payment is for my truck. I bought a Prius for $3k cash and it save three times the gas $$. I look goofy as hell driving it but I still have my truck. 🤣

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

I've had POS vehicles and I've had really nice vehicles. The POS vehicles last longer with less maintenance. 🤷

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.

see now I drive a GMC with a 6.2. I have no payment on it, it gets 11MPG but I can't make the math work to have a gas sipper and a car note.

Most people just aren't very self sufficient anymore. I'll never have a car payment. My car breaks down, I fix it myself.

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.
