South Mississippi. It’s not even hard yo. I got a 1995 GMC truck for you for like $400, it just needs new keys, a new battery, and maybe some gasoline.
I guarantee you can go on Craigslist for your area right now and find cars that run for like $1k or less.
Probably all hoopdie ass shitboxes, but wait a couple months and keep an eye and you’ll find something that runs from the 2000s that’s not a total piece of shit for like $3k, with around 300-350k miles.
Are they great? No. Cheap as hell to insure? Yes. Cost the same price as 5 months of a car payment, and last for years with basic maintenance costs and worse gas mileage? Very likely yes.
In the post I replied to you said you can’t find used cars for less than 10k.
Now you’re saying people are too time/money poor to buy a $1k car, which is true for some, but that’s way different than your last point.
At some point you’re too poor to buy a car, and that sucks. Not sure how cheap people expect a 2000lb hunk of engineered metal, glass, and a combustion engine that can propel you 300 miles should be, but I think $1k is cheap for that and it sucks if you can’t buy it. Either way.
But sitting here and complaining that the cheapest car you can find is $10k in your area is dumb, because what that tells me is all you’re doing is going to look at nice stuff at carvana or CarMax.
People will quit giving you shit when you stop floundering around and wondering why people would buy a new car instead of a used car.
Not THAT many people live in bumfuck Mississippi where things are dirt cheap out of your backyard. Not to mention you’re selling a car for $400 and then saying it needs like $1,000 in repairs before it can be driven. Slimy.
Sometimes they’re cheaper than used cars now. Covid really fucked with used car prices.
Used car? $3000
New car? Sell three children and keep a monthly payment plan.
Where are you finding a used car for $3000 that’s running?
You’re kidding. I have never paid more than $3300 for a used car.

Used cars in my area START at $10k. I think you’re bullshitting.

Some people don’t have the time and money to drop $1,000 on a car that may not run for long and look for another car that’s more affordable.
I’m just saying it’s really expensive to be poor.
Bull. I still have most of the cars I bought for $3000 and they still run. You sound inept.
I’m done with this guy. 8 day old account, I’m thinking troll or idiot, unsure which, but either way not worth any time.
Ok?

You’re missing the overall conversation as to why people are opting to buy new cars and opting for really bad loan terms to focus on small details.
There’s many reasons people are opting to buy new and one of them is how much more expensive used cars have become especially since Covid.
Can everyone quit giving me shit?
I got a 1995 GMC Sonoma for sale right now, only asking $400
Yeah it needs a little work, it needs a new battery and new key+ignition lock.
Fuck, where the fuck you people getting used vehicles for $10K?

Live in the Chicago area, have never paid more than $3300 for a used car. You need to stop going to carmax and start looking a private party.
It only needs about $200 repairs, dunno where the hell you folks keep pulling $1000 out of your collective asses
You gonna install all that for free?
Batteries alone start at $200.
You’re in south Mississippi. Enough said, dude. That’s why everything is cheap and you’re trying to sell a non-running car for $400.
Where can you find a used car for $3k?
Craigslist. Local auction. Random crap for sale at the curb in neighborhoods.
