With car sales cratering prices will eventually come back down to earth.
Average monthly car payment continues to rise, up 40% from 2019
Here’s why car payments are so high right now
Not necessarily.
From now on I’ll only buy new. Last 2 vehicles I bought new. You get exactly what options and color you want, don’t have to worry about how it was treated before you, it’s pristine when you get it.
so long as you plan on keeping it for a while your resale makes it worth it too.The depreciation after 1 month don’t meant shyt to me.
buying new + paying your car off ==

I couldn't afford a Bimmer and I didn't like how the 4runners looked..
The Lexus was also out of my range.. I don't like the RX and the GX was too much. In the end I ended up paying close to what the GX costs tho

I think the key to always buying new is paying the car off for positive trade in and adding cash.
Come to think of it, maybe people need to start giving themselves a vehicle allowance. Even if it's $200/month. You'll have nearly $10,000 cash every 4 years for a new car down-payment. Add your trade in and you got $25k towards a new car.
Someone told me if youre thinking about buying a car save what you think the monthly payment will be for 6 months or so to see if you can handle the payment.
At the end of the day breh you've been disciplined for a long time and you'll be aight cutting loose a bit. Sometimes peace of mind >>>>
Hoping to minimize depreciation =/= investment. Something that loses value systemically, 95% of the time, isn't an investment.People in here saying a car isn't an investment, as if they drive them until they have to be scrapped in the junkyard and buried.
90% of you are going to end up re-selling your car at some point and you know it. That makes it an investment.
The other 10% only don't end up selling because they totaled it before it could happen.
Certain vehicles maintain their value stronger than others, others depreciate more quickly. You buy a big ass truck in 2014 , some cac is still going to pay you a nice stack for it 2024 so he can offroad and go hunting with it. You buy a compact ford fiesta in 2014, you be lucky to get $800 for it in 2024.
Meaning if you are in the market for a fiesta, you might as well buy it used.
