A year ago I made probably one of the worst financial decisions of my life, trying to impress my gf at the time and also just being impulsive I bought my dream ride 2021 Toyota 4-runner TRD. I paid way too much for it, the payment is high af, and I owe about $50k still and since losing my job in December I’m now two months behind on my payments. ($885/mo.) I got a new job waiting tables averaging about $200-$300 a night (5 shifts per wk) so I can probably save up quick enough to get caught up on my payments before they repo it. Should I just say fuck it and let it go, take the L on my credit and being in debt for the difference of what they get on it on auction, and use the money I earn on buying more bags (FTM/BTC) and just drive a hooptie like I should have to begin with… or continue to make the payment in order to have a reliable vehicle, be it overpriced, that will last and likely need no repairs? I already know I’m retarded for putting myself in this position to start with but I’m just wondering what the best course of action from here on would be.

My mom made the same mistake as you anon. She bought a 60k car a few years ago.
The car cost is 2x-3x her salary.
I told her early to return it / stop paying for it. Now she is stuck with it because she has been with it for so long.

Personally, I would let it go. 50k is a lot of money unless you really need that 4runner( you probably dont). That money is better spent elsewhere.

What was the total cost of the car.

How the fuck can you not afford a 4 runner? This isn’t a flex but I buy my cars in cash. The reason why I do it is called loan Amoritization. The trick the Jews do is they front load the cars interest. I don’t get car loans so don’t look at me for details but amortization works the same across most shit. Long story short you absolutely are not close to owning that car and won’t be because all of the interest can be collected before you pay on principal. It’s nasty shit, I’m very glad my religion hates usury and woke me up to this.

Looks like you'd get 30-40k used for it. I assume less at auction so you're essentially asking if you should take on 20-30k of debt (+ repo costs, + 7 years of a repo on your credit history) vs paying off the balance

You could also get a debt consolidation loan if you’re not up for destroying your credit. Get pre-approval from a reputable credit union/bank (do not go for some dodgy credit repair loan shark or cash on the spot place) and then sell the car to which ever dealer is offering the highest and they can handle the rest once you let the lender know the difference owed. They will probably try and get you into a new car and roll over the debt for a lower payment so tell them to get fucked. Alternatively you could borrow money from family or get a personal loan for the difference but no bank is going to loan you money without solid income. Pay that loan off as fast as you can and start fresh with a shitbox. It’s not the end of the world and you have to make these mistakes now and hope you learn from it.

Well not paying on a depreciating asset is for starters, another is getting a loan. You can also sell plasma. $400 a month is nothing to sneeze at. You also dope your blood because they put your blood cells back into you now. I did it in college and then realized I had all of this energy leave me when I stopped. That plasma can easily pay for trade school. Also do you live in Florida? I just realized I know a kid that bought a 4Runner and blew his life up but cleans up waiting tables down there.

LMAOOOOO

Holy shit just go ahead and shout: "I'm a financially retarded poorfag!" Unless you have poorfag, bottom feeder credit, you can lock in a 3% interest rate on a new car. Want to know what the S&P500 has, on average, returned YoY the last 20 years? 10%. What does this mean?

Well, if 2 people were to buy a $50,000 car - 1 paying cash and the other financing it @ 3% over 72 months - the one who financed it would have THOUSANDS more than the retard who paid cash.

Finance Bro:
$0 down
$50,000 invested @ 10% annual returns
Portfolio after 72 months: $88,578.05

Cash retard:
Buys car outright
Puts his would-be car payment ($759.68) into the S&P500 every month
Portfolio after 72 months: $75,436.99

Listen cunt you got yourself in this mess you can get your self out of this mess. Make sure that its insured for an argeed amout higher than what you owe on the loan. Then pick on of the following options.

-Sink the car in water at a boat ramp accident
-bury the car and report it stolen
-set the car on fire and report arson
-take it for one last hell of a joy ride and write it off, report it stolen.

The only thing stopping you is you, now go and write the fucker off and get yourself an insurance payout and never do it again. Taking a car like that bush, fucking it up and burning it out is the most fun option in my opinion. Dont take any mobile devices with you and dont tell anyone about it. The less there is to your story the better, think along the lines of i woke up and it was gone.

it's not an investment, like putting 30k on stocks, btc or some memecoin like mumu. Take in mind how often do you need rides, calculate how much does a taxi / bus cost you and see the difference in cost over 5 years or 10 and compare that to the price of the car.
personally in my case, currently a car is a bad investment, given that i work from home and i don't go to far away places often, plus i move mostly with a bus rather than uber or taxi so it's cheaper for me.

I think you need to work your ass off and really pay the car note. Find some purpose in your life beyond consumption. Don’t let your credit take a hit and take an active role in improving your situation. At the end of the next two to three years you’ll have hopefully accomplished a better work ethic, mindset, and you’ll be able to keep that sweet 4Runner for 15 more years and every time you drive it you’ll be reminded of your foolish self. Every time you look in the rear view mirror, you’ll see your better self. And did you honestly think life would be that easy? Oh look at me, my fancy new car. You fucking weak pathetic piece of trash. Fuck you and your unearned debt and wishful social status. People like you make me sick.
