What condition?

Mine was 2014 for $9k, with 70k miles, excellent condition. 500+ mile highway range, gets 55mpg hwy (after adding a short ram intake).

Leafs in my area cost $3-4k more to get the same.

And they would be literally unworkable for me since i drive up to 120 miles in a single day sometimes

2014 2k miles great condition

Wtf 120 miles to work I work down the street you need a better job

Where did the word "work" appear in that sentence?

In the word unworkable

Spamming emotes huh. Someone is sperging

Well maybe you'd spend less money if you didn't drive so much lol

I could do that

If i went to a worse college

Or spent a few thousand dollars on another housing setup

Or got a job that paid less

Etc

I mean hey, great if it works for you

I couldnt justify it personally. Judging from the sales figures, not many people can

Maybe it's just me

but 9k for a car is ludicrously expensive if you just want cheap motoring

my mothers old focus cost $800 ~5 years ago and did 40-45mpg

I sold it today for ~$700, though admittedly it probably cost another $400 in maintenance over the years

the replacement focus is a 2010 2.0 that cost $1800 and I hope that lasts equally long, plus without cam belts it should overall cost less

realistically though, if cheap motoring is all someone needs I've worked out it should be possible to replace your car yearly and spend no more than $400 a year on a car, if it runs for longer than a year it's a bonus

that might not be achievable in the US though

I'm talking cheap motoring with all the various accoutriments

Such as, most importantly, a warranty

Which mine still had. Factory, too

do you guys have used car warranty companies?

They're usually scams

Well, almost invariably

the most prevalent one here is warrantydirect

basically the whole concept is that on average, there will be less repair cost over the course of a warranty than the cost of the warranty

in exchange for the extra cost, you get peace of mind

the optimal scenario for things like that is if you're a small business running pool cars because it gives you fixed costs for the vehicles regardless of problems

Again, though, typically scams

Yeah, pretty much fleets only

And even when they aren't, not worth it for individuals

Factory warranty is really the only warranty I'd pay for.

but the thing is, it's still cheaper to buy a used car and a third party warranty than anything close to being a new car

Its cheaper to just "have a guy"

Cheaper right up until you need something fixed
