Yeah, comeback in 6 years when you actually OWN your car.
>>15374714
grow up you teenager
Yup. Cars have turned into the iPhone. Gotta have it to show "status". Then it gets old and irrelevant in 2 years. Then it's just a car. Then you don't feel special.
Sorry but you need to make you feel special. Not your car. Dumb Facebook users.
>>15374718

I doubt the majority of people on /o/ have bought any car worth over $20,000 without any sort of payment plan.

Feels great having a car that I actually own
>>15374822
You do realize that you own the car when you finance it, right? It's just the security of your credit.
>>15374829

>things that never happen
>>15375142
no, it's a used car, 12k total
>>15374934
Most people who finance a luxury car are doing it as a form salary sacrifice in order to reduce their taxable income. Or their leasing it because that's the easiest way to insure you always have well maintained current model vehicle.
>>15375181
>Leasing a used car
>>15375183
>Reduce salary sacrifice
>On a luxury car that loses value
>Will end up with expensive repair costs that exceed it's value
Oh man what a great investment

>>15375958
>Because it's like totally unpossible purchase a late model vehicle without finance. All you guise must drive shitboxes because that's all I can afford without monthly payments.
>daily drive pic related to university
>people think I'm some Chinese nouveau riche
>it's just a 20 yo shitbox
>>15374711
Financing isn't bad in and of itself.
Buying a car on a 5+ year note while barely making the payments is bad. This is nigger logic: "I make $800 a month. This car payment is $600. Clearly I can afford it!" Then they get the thing repo'd after they skip oil changes for a year, the engine explodes, and they can't afford repairs AND payments. Not to mention their other personal finances are in shambles. And that's what every low to middle class person who drives a Mercedes is doing.
There are a handful of advantages to buying new, if you can easily make payments while continuing to save, if you can afford to maintain and repair the vehicle, if you take advantage of offers like 0% interest. But subprime car loans are an increasing problem in the USA and I'm sure it has/will spread to other places.

check the chart in this article
you notice that DFW, Houston, and SA hover around $15k in terms of what car they should buy. anyone who lives in Texas knows that maybe 1/5 cars on the road is a shiny new truck, which start at $30k and only get so much more expensive from there.
the automakers dug themselves into a hole. they started making their cars too well. now they are relying on an endless debt cycle of trade-ins and payments and 6+ year loans to float their yearly numbers. if they were behaving financially responsibly, there would be far less vehicles sold, or their vehicles would have to cost far less. but they want the volume AND the increased price. who the fuck can afford a new chevy suburban? consider that even an entry level sedan pushes $20k starting nowadays. you can't find a shit-ass 4 banger econobox hellhole for much under $15k.

>oh look a special snowflake car

They don't understand the reason why many aren't on the road

How could people daily drive sport car? I sperg out if I find dust on my weekend car. I have it covered all the time
the college i used to go to was built on a yacht yard. This christensen yacht was about 4-5 floors and always had employees walking around in uniform despite the ship only leaving the dock a couple times. one day i saw what must have been the owner and his trophy wife, because he was dressed in a different outfit than the crew and had a snapback on. he looked like he was about 28-32 and got into a blue STX (2nd lowest trim) 2009-2014 F150
>>15376324
I used to sperg too but nowadays idgaf anymore. I just wash it when it gets dirty.
I financed $7,000 of my 2015 FoST3 at 1.9%
1.9 is close to the inflation rate, I needed to build my credit, the payments are very easily affordable and I'm paying it off much quicker than I am required to.
I used that 7k to buy hookers and coke, and it was a great move imo.
Aussie here. This weekend hopefully I will be financing $50k to get a 2011 IS-F on a $70k/salary with no savings or downpayment. 4 years should do it. Am I stupid?

How does on aqcuire the job of just chilling on a boat in a suit all day?
>>15378875
basically, youre going to be working to pay off your car.
Good luck with that.
>>15378875
Yes.
>>15375958
Dont forget a worth a shit job at a fortune 500 company, lots of them pull credit scores while doing backround checks.
>>15374707
Yeah, our economy is relatively stable right now so it's actually not retarded to buy cars on loans. But we do generally have to because the cost of living is also relatively high.
And people that have low income that buy cars on loans get caught out. And they normally buy FPV's, HSV's or WRX's. Because most of our lower class is white and very patriotic.
Also, basically anything that's not a hatchback is considered luxury by tax. Anything that costs more then 60k I think.
>>15374714
Wow your really not going to like having to buy a house.
