yes. I bought one recently. Like I said, if you get the touring or sport 2.0, you’ll pay 40k. LX, sport, or EX. Not even close.

Cars are utilities, nothing more, unless you can afford better.

"It's really expensive to be poor" is true enough though. People making $30k/yr can't afford a cash car for $5k and get sucked into 7+ year loans for USED cars. Which they can't afford to take care of. It's a vicious cycle.
I generally spend more than $5000 but I agree with the premise. I always buy used cars. Never finance (I'm not a Ramsey disciple but I don't like financing things that depreciate). Maintain my cars well. And drive them till they are falling apart or, more usually, circumstances change requiring I have a different model vehicle.

Likewise. But unlike Deltabound I don't like drivng beaters (or having them in my driveway) so I drop a little coin to maintain the paint and interior too, as needed.

The newest car in my fleet is a 2003, which has been my airport beater and work truck for years. Otherwise it's a fleet of classic cars I keep insured under Grundy for agreed value, which go up every year in agreed value. No limousines however.

After I picked up the moms in what they believe is a 10k Miata, they then bought me suits and watches that are worth over 5k.

Only on APC can we flaunt how much we make on one thread but also brag about who has the cheapest POS for a car on another.

Are you saying that your suits, watches, and cars don’t all cost the same amount? Apparently, $5,000 is a good price for all three of these items.
