Guys, is it a turn off when a girl has an old car?

[Anonymous]

Guy I'm dating has a really expensive car, while I drive an older car. Paint job is fine but the license plate, headlights, and interior look old and rusty. Is that a turn off to you men?

This is what you do you go down to Discount Tire if there's one in that town any place that they sell rims and tires ask them for their blemished rims you can pick him up for five and ten bucks a piece if you have a blemish on them they usually take them to the salvage yard and get rid of you and they get 5 to $10 a piece for it I used to buy 500 rims at a time 200 rims at a time from anywhere from 16 in to 20 in or just go to your local junk yard and see what kind of cars like yours that are there are the same size rims or tires are even custom size it doesn't matter instead of paying $3,000 you'll end up paying $150 record nice rims and four tires throw a paint job on it for 300 bucks you can actually do it yourself cheaper on it that would be a good looking car I can make that car looks so good or just save your money and pick up the car you don't it doesn't have to be brand new I would never buy another brand new car in my life no it's not a turn off by the way when I first read your question I was thinking to myself you know how many people that don't have a card that would love to have that car that's what you got to remember if he gets you back and forth to work or school it's a good car and gets good gas mileage it's a good car

not at all, I am dating you, not your car.
Your car is probably paid for, theirs probably is not, or it is leased, which is not the smartest thing you can ever do.
If it really bothers you, you can look up your DMV and buy or get replacement plates, not too expensive, get you headlights buffed and polished, and get your car detailed.
It is surprising how good they can turn out.
All cheaper than getting a new car.
If that is how this guy is judging you by what you drive, then you need to find a new/different guy.
When I was first dating someone, I would purposely use my pickup truck, it wasn't new but in good shape, clean, very reliable, or one of my motorcycles.
If she had an issue with that then I knew she would not be the one for me.
I wanted them to like me for who I am, not what I could buy.
But there are plenty of people out there that think what they have is more important than who they are.
What does his car do that your car can't do?
Does yours go down the street, stop, start, go on the freeway?
I'll bet just fine, and so does his.
So other than costing more than yours they will both do the same things.

I think some women are more focused on what a guy have and what he can provide. On the other hand, some guys won’t look at a woman he see’s as beautiful and think “oh her car is old I can’t be seen with her”. If a man is interested then he would figure out ways to help you with that old car and spice it up until you have enough funds to buy your dream car.

[SnakeBoop]

honestly, the fact you can move around independently should be the main thing, unless the car of course is just a piece of broken shit kind of deal lol

[TheorionMage]

"No"... most women with youth enough to possess allure, value their transport as but the means to an end.

Women, already once mated, have greater priorities than their 'rides' often focused on their offspring.

The 'turn on' for guys is for her to elect provide her Beau the multi-sensory stimulation to cause her Companion to self-infatuate the potential of her BEST ongoing companionship in ALL its forms.
There is NO 'free lunch'. We leverage our (pl) resources for an imagined ideal which only intermittently at best 'rewards' this fantasy~

No. I don't care about someone's car at all. As long as it doesn't smell bad. Like I like good cars but I don't dislike any cars because they're old or anything. I just want to be safe. And if you get into an accident it's important that you have strong bones!

hello everybody I'm new years milk goblin, I've come to spread holiday cheer!!

respond with how many cups milk you would like to have bones with good calcium.

Note: Replying with "doot doot" will not yield good calcium. I am not Mr Skeltal. Stop asking where my trumpet went. Thank you

[LikeALog]

No, not in the least. There's a girl I'm really interested in. She drives a car that's about twenty years old that she bought new. She keeps it in good shape which is a plus.

She has a great personality, is polite, well mannered, very pretty and a good conversationalist. It's her I'm interested in. I wouldn't care if she had no car.

[DarkWinterNights]

A girl who can buy something new and take care of it for 20 years is actually a little bit of a turn on for me. Means she understands value and shows responsibility.

[Interstate]

You drive what you can afford. Not everybody has the money to be dropping on Chrysler CRAPoration's Voyager or Pacifica, or Tesla or even a GM high-end S. U. V. You get what you can afford and do the best you can with it until you are in a position to get something better, or this one shits the bed on you.

[thatonesillyguy]

Nope. I look at different things about girls. But your car isn't one of those.
For me, you have to have cute shoes, that's the first thing I'm paying attention to.
Like if a girl has cute feet and cute ballet flats, i could care less what your car looks like.
2nd is attitude. If you have a sweet and kind attitude. That is a HUGE turn on. But if you act like a jerk or a snob, then even if you have a Lamborghini, I'm still going to be turned off.
If you smoke, that's my number 1 turn off.

So cars aren't a turn on for a cute girl. Not really. Other stuff is.

[Lw85381]

Who cares? If he does he's a real jerk. If you saw what I drove growing up you would understand this. I had junker cars for years through high school and college, but you know what? I HAD A CAR, and most students did not. Wheels = freedom, walking 20 miles (or hitchhiking) does not. Take you choice.

[CallmeTheKnight]

The vehicle doesn't matter. What matters is the person. Are they kind to you? Are willing to let you shoot your shot? Are they responsible?
A vehicle doesn't define a person at all. However if someone rejects you because of the vehicle you drive, they're doing you a big favor because there's nothing good about those shallow people.

[kamalravi25]

Old car is fine. But an unhygienic car is not.
Torn seats, foul smell, leftovers, insects all over are the traits of an unhygenic car. Which shows that she is not putting her efforts in a relationship. These traits are also seen in new cars. It doesn't need a lot of money to keep your car hygienic.

[Diodoro]

I can't think of a single time a girl's car was a turn off or turn on unless it was just impressively dirty with trash all over her car.

A girl who keeps a disgustingly dirty car is a turn-off to me.

[BCA6010]

No. Personally I'm pretty well into cars but it's very rare for women to see or treat them as anything more than a means of getting from A to B. It's a bonus if a woman also likes cars and drives something cool, but I don't really expect it.

[slatyb]

I assume she either can't afford a newer model or doesn't want to spend the money. If it's safe then it's fine. I would be worrying about the condition of the critical parts she can't see -- tie rods, CV joints, engine mounts, etc.

[Wraith_Cemetery]

Nothing wrong with older cars. I actually prefer it. I exclusively only drive and own pre-1970s vehicles because those are the cars I like. Current cars look hideous to me and I would never see myself buy one.

[God_of_Thunder]

Not at long as she keeps it clean, no.

I'd rather date a girl who drives a 30 year old beater that she keeps clean, than a woman who drives a brand new luxury car filled with trash & McDonald's bags.

[humanearth]

Get into real old cars, and you'll have guys begging to be with you

Owning a old car is a guy magnate

[Citizenkirk]

You mean like a barracuda or 78 Corvette or a 1969 stingray or GTO or even a vintage Maserati? Hell no. American muscle and Italian performance are awesome.

[mstbooblover]

I don't see the point, or how your car may be relevant when it comes to loving a person or not. If your relation depends on such a trivial detail, just forget that relation.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

A vehicle is better than not having a vehicle at all & if a girls vehicle is older it’s not a turn off at all.

[DaveJord]

I would hope not, and if it is a turn off for that guy then he is not the right one for you. So screw him.

[TwinkleLily5]

I don’t think guys care if your car is old. Me and my sister had an old car and guys would always ask for our number.

[gamothen]

If someone cares about your car, then they are not worth dating (as long an it's clean and cared about)
