I got my first car recently. I'm not happy with my self or my decisions. It's $195/mo.
I only make $2,150/mo.

Did I fuck up?
>>
>>37071319
Yes
Shoulda gotten a used car and bought it outright
>>
>not covering your plate

It's better than my car
>>
Too late now, it already plummeted in value.
>>
>>37071319
I make $3100 a month and bought a $4100 car in cash

your mistake was financing a car with literally no utility and all that you can't even uber in because its lacking doors. Enjoy your 30+ MPG anyways
>>
>>37071319
Just try and find a way to make money

>tfw want to be musician
>have no income
>have no car or apartment
>want to move to city for my dreams which is more unobtainable than anything
>>
>>37071319
$195 a month is actually a good deal. Do you have good credit? Leasing?
>>
>>37071319
you should get the windows tinted and legacy plates then ull be a cool kid
>>
>>37071319
That's not really that much. How about you do some uber driving or something like that. Easy cash.
>>
>>37071319
>I only make $2,150/mo.
>Did I fuck up?

Looks like you did somewhere along the line.
>>
>>37071341
I got it used for $12,000.
I don't want it anymore. I want to get rid of it. How do I undue my mistake
>>
>>37071319
200 a month is not bad and if you are young it will be good to build your credit, anyhow you should join the military and make more cash than that even as a uck enlisted
>>

>It's $195/mo.

The decision you should be unhappy about is thinking in terms of a monthly payment. You should think in terms of the total purchase price. Now you're locked into a loan (or, far worse, a lease) and have to keep working to keep making regular payments. Which means you're locked into your job. For several years.

Debt is slavery that you willingly sign up for.

OP here. I'm 25 and just recently got this job. I feel so stupid because I could be saving all this morning that I'm spending on car payment and insurance.

I have like $800 or so in bills a month. I want a cheap older car. I regret getting a fucking 2 door. Can I resell it to a dealer for a similar price??

nah you're good.
My payments are the same as yours and I make less than 1k a month.
I should have a real job in 6 months though.
>>
>>37071654
>Can I resell it to a dealer for a similar price??

the instant you got in your new car and drove it off the lot, you just lost a large chunk of your money
>>
>>37071722
A third to a half, usually.
>>
>>37071767
and that's why new cars are a total fucking scam if you're not rich
>>
>>37071643
I put $1k down. My parents pushed me into it. I wish i got a cool car with more room and doors.
I feel like crying when I think about this big stupid decision.

Won't a dealer buy the car back from me... I wish i was smart and didn't get into this debt of slavery.
>>
>>37071767
I bought it used. Does this still apply?
I fucking hate myself.
>>
How many years is your loan?

I need to get out of this.
Do I just suck it up and drive my shitty ugly fucking car?
>>
>>37071970
get accident forgiveness added to your insurance policy and crash it hard enough to total

only way you're getting your money back. or just keep it and drive it forever.

Dude it's a fucking car. It goes from A to B. It's a Civic. You can abuse the shit out of it and it won't die. < $200/month is hardly anything.

I seriously don't get Americans. Why the hell would you ask a loan for a car?

Much better buy a used car that you can pay immediately.

It would be like $270 less without this virgin mobile. What girl is going to look at my car and think it's nice?

That's the state where the car was purchased from and front plates are required there, faggot.

It's used!! Still I am very depressed...

Remember anon, your car is the single most important utility in your life - without it you couldn't work or do any sort of business.

As a car sales fag though, I have to tell ya, never finance a new car UNLESS they have a ridiculous amount if rebates, which is usually on the previous model year and only certain months. I missed my chance to get $6500 off a new fiesta st which I could sell in 2 years for almost the same price I bought it for! Other than that, you should lease.

The best thing to do in my opinion is to by 30,000-50,000 mile 3-4 year old certified luxury cars. Luxury vehicles depreciate much quicker than regular, and luxury certifications almost always include an additional 2-3 year warranty on top of factory (normally 4 years). This means you'll have 2-3 years of warranty coverage, and a brand new one that starts at $40,000 will probably be in the low to mid $20,000 range.

When you sell it down the line in a few years you will have lost minimal depreciation since luxury cars drop hard at the beginning and level out very quickly at their bottom barrel price point.

Just for future reference.
>>
>>37071654
Probably can't sell it for a lower price.

What is your interest rate, how long did you finance, what year/miles?

You may be better than you think.
>>
>>37073296
6 year. honda civic 2015 lx coupe has 50k miles on it.
uhh idk what the interest rate is....where do i find that?

all this stuff is very new to me.
>>
Alright. OP here. If you were in my situation with my exact car what would you do?
Keep the car and just not worry about it?

What the actual fuck OP! You make $2,150 per month and have $800 worth of bills does that include the car payment.

If not just pay more each month and pay the car off quickly. Even if you pay $1,000 per month you can pay it off in a year. The $195 is basically the minimum amount that you can pay (this is how dumb niggers can afford to drive brand new Lexus's and Mercedes with 28" rims). Only you're not a dumb nigger that goes to "rent a wheel" and ends up trading the car in owing $50,000 on it or getting it repo'ed

Be smart and just pay it off quick! You will have it paid off within a year or less and no longer be a debt cuck.

I can confirm; I drive a bmw and I'm a wizard.
>>
>>37073992
That actually not a terrible idea. I could just pay it off in a year or 2 years at most and not be stuck with it for 6 years.
When I pay off the Honda then what do i do though?
>>
>>37071319
Not really. I only make $1300 a month and got a used 2011 Kia Forte for $180 a month.

Lol I just got my first car. A 2017 Ford Fusion last december.

I only make $1400 after taxes and my note is $388. The guy I bought it from did pull a lot of strings and got me 0% apr and gave me great extended warranties.
>>
>>37073992
Also yes those bills included the car payment.
>>
>>37074297

Why is every single one of your posts whiny, you sperm gargling little bitch?

You're 25 years old, stop acting like a teenage bitch.

Your car is fine. It's a boring, reliable, neither ugly nor great looking car. Shut the fuck up, cunt.
>>
>>37073426
Anon... You took out a loan. Of course it has an interest rate. how could you buy without knowing the interest rate?

Anyways, like the other anon said, don't pay the minimum payment. If your interest rate is low pay an extra $100/month. If it is high then pay it off ASAP.

Thing is you can sell the car if you still owe money on it or trade it in. It's just better to have some equity built into it, like a house aka having paid off more than it's worth.

The best thing to do if your interest rate is lower than 3% then just pay an extra $100/month, or even an extra $300/month the first few months since interest is front loaded in a loan (you pay the most interest in the first few months and then less as it goes on, so if it's $195 you may pay $50 of interest and only $145 towards the car your first month, then the next month you'll pay $45 in interest, but you're getting fucked paying off the car!)


Anyways, I'm financing an s2000 for $370/month since I got a super low interest rate and I needed to build credit. Got no regrets since I can already sell it for more than I owe on it.
>>
>>37074357
Because I'm anonymous so I feel like I can act out and repost as much as I want with any real repercussions.
I also have anxiety disorder and this car situation has been eating me up.
I do feel better from reading these post.

Also I admit I get embarrassed whenever someone recognizes my post...i do apologize. I need therapy I really do. Also your post is all true. Everything. I need help...

>>37072009
Insurance fraud is illegal, Pablo.

>>37074297
It's not meant to be attractive or fun to drive. Its a point a - b economy car. If you want fun or aesthetics get a manual pre-2008 used car that you can work on yourself.
>>
I own a 2016 civic, paid cash :^)
Don't be ashamed OP, it's a great car. I got the same color too.
>>
>>37074428

Sort yourself out.

It's a cheap, economical car. There's nothing wrong with it, it's cheap to run and repair, and you can afford to pay for it.

I have a fiesta and I fucking hate it. Swerves like crazy over 60, I honestly don't think it should be legal to sell the damn thing. It feels like it'll get blown away with even the slightest wind
