@mellie I said where i am. I’m well aware of the car market, my partner and I just went through the car buying process. It’s a fact that $15,000 doesn’t get you very much car in 2024. Maybe it gets you more in your area, who knows!
There literally is a dealership next to me where they have all of two cars under $15,000. One is a very unreliable brand and the other has 120,000 miles. There’s another dealership down the street with a few more. Not a single one under 100,000 miles. The Toyota dealership? You’re looking to spend $27,000 If you want under six figure mileage.
Do you really blame someone for not wanting to buy a car with high mileage? Sure, a reasonably maintained vehicle can go for far if it’s been taken care of but do you really trust the general adult population to maintain their vehicles? I don’t. It’s also a fact that once vehicles hit 100,000 they generally require more frequent and more expensive work.
This guy makes $158,000 a year, has $112,000 in savings and no debt. I think he can afford to spend a teeny bit more for a car under 100K miles.
