Man this breh still in here talking about depreciation on a car….



ITS NOT AN INVESTMENT!!!

Exactly. A brand new car with a warranty >>>> a used car.

Unless you flipping super cars..

Unless that used car is a Lexus or Toyota.

I'm about to get a used Lexus at some point. The 10-year-old cars are going for like $18 to $22,000. But I'm still getting it because it'll last me another 10 years at least.

I want another Jeep or a 4Runner next.

I probably should have stuck to my principles here. I just felt like I’ve never owned a brand new car in my entire life so I’ll do it once. I bought the car in March it’s June and it’s lost over $3500 in value with just 2700 miles on it. Granted I put down $19K and financed $8000 so I’ll never be upside down. Doesn’t help that somebody hit my shyt a few weeks after I got it and I had to pay almost $1600 to restore it no normal condition.

Got it out of my system. Don’t think I’ll be doing this again. I basically just burned that cash for nothing and honestly I knew better.

The value you speak of isn’t real value

Economics doesn’t work like that

You buy a new car from a reliable manufacturer and then drive it until the wheels fall off.

Keep up with maintenance and take care of it. These modern rides can last as long as the ol skool rides but you gotta maintain them and be willing to drive the same ride instead of flipping up to a fancy ride in 3 years. Lease cars if you just wanna drive something new more frequently.

I've never had a new car in my life. I probably never will

Unless you plan to sell the car right after buying it, the diminished value shouldn't matter. And you said you got hit, don't you have insurance? You paid 1600 out of pocket?

I have two Toyotas. An 08 Tundra Sr5 and a 97 limited 4Runner.

Just fixed the shift differential on the Tundra and just reached 200,000 miles.

They will have to disintegrate before I get anything else.

I agree with the premise of this thread. You're better off buying the same car used with low mileage.

Never bought new and probably never will unless I get so rich it doesn't matter.

Had a new car once. 2007 Nissan Murano. Rides smooth but brakes down a lot.

But I love not have car payment too much to finance again.

Looking at 2015 RX 350s. Just looking for the right color combo and features to come along and pick one up (silver exterior, light gray or tan interior, AWD, driven in a non-salt belt state and no accidents).

Others I have seen are going for around $18-22k. Never thought I'd spend 20 grand on a used car but I think this will be worth it.
