One problem is I don't trust the asshole drivers around me to not damage my expensive vehicle. The other problem is that I don't have $800/m to throw away on a vehicle that loses that much in value every month.
I don't need all of these fancy features. I need a basic bitch car that gets me from point a to point b and has enough trunk space for groceries.
Thank you for putting the word on my mind down. This is exactly what I want also. No bullshit smarts and apps, just a simple car with the basics
This is the reason I still keep my old car around. 20 years old and it doesn't have all of the bells and whistles but made it very easy to maintain. The alternator died once and the car can still run normally without a battery powering it.
I have two cars and both those payments combined are under $500. I’m not paying $800 a month for one damn car.
That’s not even including car insurance which has been skyrocketing everywhere
Right?! I pay $380 a month for my car, a very comfortable and efficient Kia Forte. Sometimes I take a look at other cars that are around $30k, only $5k more than I paid for the Kia, and somehow the car payments are $600 a month! Not even sort of worth it
So what you're saying is you won't buy any new car, EV or not. What is the point of your comment?
