Normies seem to have a belief that new cars are more reliable than used cars. A lot of times they've recently had to pay for expensive repairs on their older shitbox - and because they're too stupid/lazy to learn about cars they figure it's going to continue to be a money pit. So they figure if they're going to be paying for repairs they might just better use that money on something fancy and new with a warranty.

No, they're genuinely not. People who insist on shitbox cars are in a position where their personal image doesn't matter to their professional success; which means they work at Wal-mart or McDonalds, or some other service related job.

Any professional environment, and business culture, is going to judge you based on what you drive; and any potential employer is going to judge you on how clean and new your car is.

That aside, reliability is a massive factor in long term success; it plays into your image, and your punctuality precedes you once it's been established. A shitbox beater that breaks down consistently will end up interfering with your professional aspirations if you're hoping to climb above low level management.

My shitbox turns heads too. I've got trash in my car thats been sitting for weeks and is piling up. Spilled something weeks ago and starting to mold. I constantly fart and keep the windows rolled up. Shower on a weekly basis. I absolutely love it when the chicks check out my ride. They might not be getting wet, but their gaze makes me wet.

Some time around the 1960s or 1970s, black people started stabbing people on the sidewalks so the Americans had to move away from the city centers which were in close proximity to the train tracks and bus stops.

i took public transit for many years. have you ever had a bus driver forget to stop and pick you up because no one inside rang the bell to get off and he didn't look for anyone waiting at the bus stop? at 7:30am in the middle of winter when you're running late for school? how about having the bus passing you because it's already full over capacity and has no room for anyone else? how many fights have you witnessed on public transit and how many times has someone tried to rob you while you were on your way home? how often is train service to your neighborhood completely shut down on evenings and weekends?

People are looking for validation and gratification. Buying (loan) car especially in third world country are considered super high class, Girls will start flirting and flocking to you if you own(loan) a single $10.000 range car. Almost all millenials do this... they will start spamming their social medias and dumb tiktok shit with once they got their new shiny car.
That's why most of them are hurting hurting themself by taking $10.000+ car loans that last 5-10 years on average with interest rate that ended up 200%-400%+ from original price with just $400 monthly salary.

Other reason are a people that got fired from their job, they need a new job so they take out loans for cars (uber driver or something like that)

I made a really dumb car purchase early on in my life around 18 years of age. Bought a 40k car while making 25k a year. I’m upset that my dad didn’t talk me out of it. Obviously I should have known better myself but that’s something I feel like parents are for, telling their kids not to do dumb fuck purchases when they’re young.

The average car loan interest rate is like 5%.
If you pay with cash, you instantly lose access to all that capital. If you pay with a loan, you can keep the capital and invest it. If you make more than 5% annual returns with it, then you've actually profited by taking a loan.

And if you can't, then you're a fucking retard - how could you not get 5% a year?

thankfully i live in an area with access to express buses and commuter rails that are slightly more expensive and luxurious than regular public transit, but orders of magnitude more reliable and civilized. if i ever had to commute into Manhattan to work i would take them exclusively.

Are you sure your parents knew that it was a dumb fuck purchase? Just asking because my parents, who are typically responsible with money, didn't tell me about some financial land mines that I avoided only by luck.
