How to become debt free

Depends, is that car in the picture actually the one you bought? What shape is it in?

That's a picture of the model of the car I financed. It's on good condition, it's got a couple little dents and some light scratches on the paint, but mechanically it's very sound.

Ask someone to take over your loan with a down payment to you that's fair based on what you have left to pay, and the value of the car. A craigslist ad should be fine, but you're going to have to set it up with who you are financing the vehicle through.

I made this mistake myself when I was 18 and got a promotion. The car ended up being junk, and I'd only paid maybe 2000 of it off, so I just abandoned it broke down, and told them to come repo it and that was all I heard about it.

I went and bought a little 900 dollar car on craigslist, and now I have two little less than 1000 dollar cars in my driveway.

One has had about 1500 bucks of work done, and the other just got new tires. But, I've had them for years now.

Sound advice. No idea why people ever buy expensive cars. I bought a car off of CL for about $1,000 and spent like $500 in repairs.

Me neither. But then again I don't care for the "aesthetic" of my car like some people do. As long as it runs idgaf about what it looks like. I've got a 2000 Honda Accord and holy shit that things a fucking tank. It's coming up on 200k miles and the only thing that's broken down on it was the radio lol. Then again, it's also been totaled and rebuilt twice before I got to it, so most of the shit inside it is newer, but still.

Got rear ended pretty hard last year by some chick in one of those weird cube cars, like hit me hard enough to push me forward a few feet. Probably 40mph minimum, not a scratch on the thing.

The car I got before was a lemon though. It was a 02 Hyundai Sonata we got for 5k. Owned that thing for 2 years and put over 5k in repairs in it. Had to replace the fucking alternator twice. Parents got such a good deal on it though lol, they found a dealer that was doing a trade in deal, trade in a car and get like 5k off a brand new one. Traded in my barely running piece of shit, got my mom a brand new car, older sister got my mom's old car, and I got that 2000 Accord from my sister. Haven't looked back. If it had cloth seats, this car would be perfect lol.
