Jun 30, 2023 · 5 x 15 = 75 mil people who buy new cars. 75 /200 is roughly 1/3. Only 1 in 3 drivers make up the new market. So no offense, someone making well under average income is not supposed to be buying new cars, they should be buying used. Cars are more expensive but last longer, so nothing wrong with a 5 year old car.

Also that cars interior even with full leather feels cheap, even the newer 981 didn’t come with CarPlay standard. Both sound systems are junk. Many of them had kinda ugly steering wheels. One last thing, you may not like how it feels to drive if you haven’t pushed one.

Mar 11, 2017 · Most 3 year old cars will have 30k - 50k miles and are unlikely to have significant maintenance or repair costs unless you are talking about a vehicle with known reliability issues. All you're really saving on is the disposition fee, which isn't even charged if you lease a another car of the same brand.

Maintenance is reasonable (unlike many German cars), parts are plentiful, they are fast, handle well and a used Corvette has most of the depreciation incurred by someone else. If you need 4 seats, the Camaro SS 1/LE, again maintenance is easy and not unreasonable, they are fast, handle well and a blast to drive (visibility sucks a bit).

I love cars that handle great and still have that power but they don’t need insane straight line power like a muscle car with the boat like handling all that weight brings in all but the highest trims. Of all the cars I’ve been able to find and research a bit, it seems like the Cadillac CT4-V would be a good fit.

May 27, 2024 · Driving around Melbourne in a low socioeconomic area, I see people driving Ford Raptors, Mercs, Ford Everests etc and these cars range from 75-100k++ I’m in my twenties on 220k annually and drive a 24k car. I’m wanting to upgrade and cannot mentally justify spending even 50k on a car.

If you are planning on going to the track at all, just remember the first thing they tell these guys with 50k+ cars with high horsepower is, "if you see a miata behind you, let them pass." You can run an old miata balls to the wall and have a hell of a time on a track without being scared of losing your expensive daily driver.

May 19, 2016 · The $50k you sink into a car today is money that can't be saved and grow for the future. That's a big deal when that $50k, used as investment "seed" money, could grow into a crap ton in the future. I'd wait to get to the point where my long term investments are already on track and I don't mind eating the depreciation and opportunity cost.

Hi guys, I am 38 years old and currently drive a 2011 Lexus ES350 with 128,000 miles. I take very good care of the car and it still runs perfectly, but I've had several good years at work and looking to purchase a car in the $40-50k range and pay with cash.

Mar 16, 2024 · Not true. My 2023 Model 3 SR was purchased for $43.50k before sales tax. After sales tax it was $49.50k. Today with 20k miles, it’s worth at best $30-32k selling privately. Tesla only offering $24.5k for trade in so it’s even worst.
