You should buy an SUV, they’re so much safer.

eat shit cagies

not having a car is like not knowing how to ride a bicycle or how to swim - fucking creepy if you're over the age of 12

>>25989139
Where I live boomers have priced me out of having one

It costs a retarded amount for just insurance

>>25989139
I learned how to do both of those at age 5-6

>>25989177
Mfw priced out of cost of living

>>25989177
same here. these are my choices.

>>25989440
literally just get the corolla and never look back.

>>25989139
I don't know how to ride a bicycle, but I do know how to drive a car and swim.

>>25989440

Toyota and Lexus are always solid. Stay away from the rest.

>>25988978
Ill stick to my 300$ beater + 50$ in used parts

>>25989440
The Corolla is the cheapest option and the best option

>>25989440
Why is your phone screen the size of a yardstick

Owning a car is so expensive in my country. Just like having a roof above your head. It's all so tiresome.

>>25989440
180k in tucson is a hard no.

>>25988978
I mean, this is totally reasonable. I dont see how that's really onions or autistic or whatever. You could totally get a decent car that wont give you much trouble for $3k. You still need to do regular maintenance, but its way cheaper than an expensive car. And if you get in an accident, you probably just get most if not all of that $3k back to use for another used vehicle.

>>25989477
>>25989440
Wrong get the Lexus it’s literally Toyota except you get all the features for $500

>>25989139
>I heard he doesn't have a car?

>>25989440
>75 dodge dart
You post those cars as if there's any other option. Just think of what 12 year old you would think of however old you are now, taking time to decide between a fucking volvo and a 70s dodge dart

18 and don't have a driver's license, even though I got my permit at 16, because I only wanted a car in order to drive just for the fun of driving, and after I lost my crypto monies I've been priced out of buying any good car, for example an AMG GT for 40k, so I won't be getting a license until I can make back my money

Cars are a waste of money i’m gonna keep walking and taking public transportation

>>25989440
get the Lexus

>>25989139
>>25989640
I know a bum with no car who gets girls effortlessly. I could never do it since I'm boring and have no personality, but it is possible.

>>25989602
If the seller has proof of those oil/tranny fluid changes it’s a good deal. Those things will last you 300k miles or more if you take good care of them.

fuck cars

>>25989908
former tech here. I know it. but the market here blows. unless you're buying from the suburbs you aren't getting records with it. you're lucky to get anything home for less than 1500 down here and when you do the MIL pops the next day lmao.

The volvo 240 will last to 500,000 miles. They were built for 20 years and a tank

>>25988978
Christ dude, how are you still seething over this post from yesterday
>>25928768

>>25989682
nobody wants a 318

>>25990108
also I meant a slant 6

>>25989879
Too much effort vs. reward for me. A nice car is just a guaranteed way to get laid if you can get her in there. Driving fast is fun

>>25990108
you could still make that a fast car

>>25989139
>>25989879
Yeah, Eliot Rodger had a nice car and it didn't help him. If you're confident, fun and outgoing, you could be a NEET living at a funeral home and still get ass.

It's not about the price of the car. It's about having to pay out the ass for insurance even if I'm only going to use it twice a month.

>>25990288
you can make any car a fast car, aint gonna be 3k tho.

>>25989604
You know what's good, 90's-2000's lexus are the most bang for you buck, great engines, sound dampening upgraded stereo all the reliability of a toyota but you get the depreciated amenities for a miniscule price difference

So fucking stupid. Look, unless youre making more than enough money, and do not give a fuck what you spend it on (99% of the time, this is absolutely NOT the case) then you buy a new car, either on payments or in full. What you dont do, is be under 30, with a new car. why? Because it makes literally no goddamn sense. I bought an 02 corolla for 750 dollars. Needed two rear tires and a door panel, everything else worked, heat, ac, all windows etc. That thing gets almost 40mpg, and i got it for what my dumbass friend pays for his insurance+payment a month.

Who the fuck are you trying to impress? Dumbass teenagers? People that know fuck all about life? get real.

point is, you can buy reliable cheap cars that function well, for next to dirt cheap if you keep looking. its not financially smart to go in debt for a new vehicle, they depreciate so much its insane. With the exception of a few models, but even then they do quite a bit. And dont even get me started on fucking leases and shit.

buy this instead

I don't have a driving licence and I don't need it

>>25989440
the 4x tahoe or the dodge dart. I like trucks because they allot you access to dirt roads and cool places to go camping. They have a ton of utility and just owning one you will see opportunities open up to you. You can haul things for money, move big things (4 wheelers, dirtbikes, couches whatever).

>>25990917
The max range is a bit overestimated though

>>25989602
Even for a Toyota? I have a 13 year old 190k Toyota, and literally the only thing I've need to do is replace the calipers and alternator.

>>25990108
you don't buy that car for the engine, you buy it for the body. only car on that list that will appreciate, even if it's not a desirable generation

>>25991219
people abuse their shit out here because outside of the big you don't have to worry about emissions testing. id love a Toyota but anything more than 120k out here is pushing it for the abuse.

>>25988978

>I need a car to go to all these PARTIES and COMMUTE from my plywood home in the BURBs to my job in the city. You don't get it, I NEED to drive to the megamart and get fast food from KFC - I don't have time to walk or cook. By the way, girls aren't into roided up boofheads, it's all about the DAD BOD.

this
in western europe no one gives a fuck if you have a license or not. definetly if you under 30 years old. all the uni kids take the bus, train, get a ride from friends etc. its very ambigous and no one cares unless someone specifically brings it up in a convo and even then no one gives a fuck.
i know bc i was a NEET and tought a license would be a big deal ie. change a lot. spoiler it doesnt - not in 2021

Car holders are COPING so hard rn, nobody even leaves their house and they have this big, heap of deteriorating metal taking up drive/garage space which they're PAYING INSURANCE FOR! HAHAHAH! They are getting fucked so hard rn and come into anti car threads SEETHING about it!

>>25989530
This is your typical XRP holder.

Phoenix fag here. You guys have it easier

>>25988978
It's much cheaper for me to just get Ubers or rent a car when I need one, but I still own a car. Being in a dense area you really don't need one - it's just a luxury.

>>25989440

Anon, believe me that plowing a girl in an old can is 1000% more rewarding that in a nice car. Anyone can smash in a lexus. Real ones can make it happen in a used toyota.

>>25989879
I know a guy like that too but it’s still sad seeing him have to ask friends for a ride

>>25990499
This. If you aren’t a wrench let it’s easy to maintain your vehicle on most issues.

>>25988978

that's exactly what I paid for my shitbox and it's still running years later with minimal maintenance.

>>25994287
+years of insurance costs (more than I spend on uber lol)

>>25989139
I'm over 30 and haven't had a car in 10 years, I'll never be able to drive again I have 4 DUI's.

>>25989602
i have a corolla w/ 190k in a similar climate and she treats me fine, some water pump issues but thats it.

>>25994340
You either overestimate the cost of insurance or only leave your house once a week

>>25989093
is there any bicyclist that isn't a flaming homosexual

>>25994599
how much do you spend on insurance, check ups (you legally must do one a year) and fuel

rate my "car"

>>25994741
75 on liability. I only take my car in for inspection once a year and 20 a week on gas(live in Texas)

>>25994742
How many DUIs do you have?

>>25994742
Do you walk around with knee high cowboy boots and a ten gallon hat while open carrying a single action revolver? If so I fucking hate you

>>25994741
I spend under $50 a month for insurance and getting an oil change/checkup is like $80 at most twice a year

>legally required
This is how I know you’re a europoor.

>>25989139
Not knowing how to swim is creepy?
I'm confused

I had an 88 prelude in Phoenix bro that was literally at 300k after three years that runs to this day with the new owner, you’ll be fine

How expensive can it be? In uk we get fugged by insurance but you just buy a small engine 15 year old car and get a black box and it goes down to like 800-1000£ for the first couple years

>>25995178
yup

>>25989440
lexus is a nobrainer man, 2jz no shit

what a steal

>>25995510
It was comfy af. Bought for $4k lasted me 6 years with no issues. Not a car queer so none of that shit matters. Most people don't give af as long as it works.

>>25989440

dont listen to these other retards. Get the Tahoe. I abuse the shit out of mine and never service it. I lost 3rd gear a year ago but keep driving it. I have two other shitboxes though, so it doesn't really matter for me.

there's no MOT exams in US retard, in some big cities or states you might have emissions tests but they're like $50 max every 1 or 2 years
