    I would verify the u-joint concern.
    Every one of those things I have worked on either needed a transfer case or a rear diff and the parts are expensive and hard to get.

    Just remember anything awd or 4wd is going to be more expensive to maintain

    This isn't necessarily true at all. It's not like you have to replace drive shafts and transfer cases regularly. Awd a d 4wd drive trains don't necessarily wear on all the parts more harshly than 2wd vehicles. In some instances it could make a difference but it's definitely not the type of thing you can make a blanket statement about.

    European cars will 100% be more expensive to maintain than a similar North American/Asian counterpart

    Fona get a fucking Sante fe or a tuscon or a fucking Cherokee

    Go down to Honda, tell them you want to 3 year lease of 10k or 12k a year. The basic civic lease wants 3600 down, you raise this over 1600 or tell them to adjust the monthly payments which are 299 a month. You will learn to keep those payments first or second in line over power and water and whatever else.

    You will trade it in for a new lease in 3 years but by then go electric. A hybrid coming out in June from Honda gets 45-50mpg. So realistically you will get 40 and save on had. Like half of some old piece of shit. So instead of 6 bucks for 20-24 miles you would pay 3 bucks for the same miles.

    Why own a money pit, you tainted Motha fuck.

    The Suzuki sx4 seller contacted me about meeting this afternoon.
    Im kind of on the fence about it.

    Either way Im good for until my car isn't anymore so I might try and work extra for the next several weeks and see what more I can get later.

    Lease a new car.. no cost to maintain. Bring it back June 2025.


    Stop being such a Showboat and take what I say as the most valued of all suggestion.

    Buying a car is a suckers dream

    I'll be honest here.
    I like the Suzuki because it looks sort of gay and cheap.
    But I don't like it for the very same reasons.

    Also I just read a bunch of accident reports that stated "Was driving and steering locked. Proceeded to wreck. Mechanic found no issues."
    And a bunch of air bags dont work I guess.
    Supposedly the damn thing also has issues with it's electronic stability control too.

    I'm probably going to save myself the headache and not buy it tomorrow.

    Yeah it is necessarily true dumbass. Its really a simple concept, more parts = more to fail and maintain. You obviously havent worked on shit to make such a retarded statement

    Are you retarded. Youre still looking to buy used shit?

    Lease, do no maintenance. 0. Maybe an oil change once a year

    Have a brand new car that if something went wrong, like an airbag failed. You sue them. You can't sue over an old used car.

    A new car /lease will also help build credit.

    He has to place those two (rent and auto) as priority payment. Autopay 7 days before due date is highly suggestive. Also having a bank visa, paying it down the moment your purchase groups FICO points fairly fast. 20% faster and eligible for Boost on the score chart.

    Yep build credit as fast as possible then save for a down payment on a home.
    Get the home loan and pay that fucker off as soon as possible.
    Then save as much money as you can then you won't ever need jedi loans ever again.
    Some people say well you need some debt I say fuck that.

    Been looking at cars at Goodwill.

    https://shopgoodwill.com/categories/listing?st=daytonauto&sg=&c=&s=&lp=0&hp=999999&sbn=&spo=false&snpo=false&socs=false&sd=false&sca=false&caed=1%2F11%2F2022&cadb=7&scs=false&sis=false&col=1&p=1&ps=40&desc=false&ss=0&UseBuyerPrefs=true&sus=false&cln=1&catIds=&pn=&wc=false&mci=false&hmt=false&layout=grid

    They all are in my price range.
    None of them run except for 1 which runs but doesn't stop.
    And each has low miles between 200k and 250k.

    Which one should I bid on?
