@daveramsey: Car payments steal your money and your peace. If you've had a wreck and need to replace your car, the goal is to get back to where you WERE, not to upgrade and take on new debt. That's not a "treat" for yourself, it's a punishment.
Dave I’m sorry you’re wrong on this one. There is NO reliable car anyone can buy for $1,000. Get real.

I’m sorry I adore Dave but idk where he thinks you can buy a 1k car that’s not gonna rack up 5k worth of repair bills in its first month, if you can even find a 1k car. I think a more realistic scenario is a 5-10k car, that’ll get you some older corolla/civic that you can drive from point a to point B

Idk my $20k with 0% interest was worth the car payment because now it’s paid off and 11 years old

Catherine McCall Baker :
No, get a good reliable car. A $1,000 car is going to crap out too often, requiring being in the shop, and a person needing to find rides or borrowing a car until it’s fix. Then repeat, repeat, repeat. It’s not worth the hassle.

and if you buy a 1k car, you will get what you paid for.

I have to make an assumption that this $one000 car was not always a $one000 car, and before it was totaled. It's been kept up, spending a thousand dollars.You're gonna get a car that needs five thousand dollars worth of work

Once upon a time. Our government decided to crush the 1000 dollar cars. Thus making the 1k cars about as rare as a unicorn.

We have been doing the Ramsey method for decades. But 2026 is the year we will have a $400 car payment. We are currently absolutely car less. We will save on top of the car payment to pay it off faster. But our special circumstances forced us here. Sometimes a car payment isn’t the worst thing if you use it the way it’s meant to be used: as a bridge not a crutch.
