Search Results: buying a new car vehicle

I recently came into some money and I believe it’s time, it’s more than overdue. It’s time for me to get a new vehicle. But here’s the problem, all my life I’ve been privileged to the basic shit like a Chevy Malibu or a Nissan Altama or a Ford ranger or a Nissan frontier or a Buick regal and even a Toyota Cressida, lol that Toyota was old af! Anyway I have two choices, Since all my life I’ve only had the basic cars I figured it was time for me to have some thing that I can really enjoy Before I get old af! and won’t be all bitter on the inside when I have to make a car payment so I wanted a corvette c7.

But I also do construction and I believe in that kind of business you need a strong truck instead of a car. Besides I wouldn’t bring my Corvette to the job anyway I will just use my old beat up car. For work I can get a Chevrolet truck, it’s a 6 cyl diesel 4 door truck with great gas and a long lasting life. The problem is who knows when I’ll ever be able to save enough money again to buy an exotic car? So one side of my conscience is telling me I should take advantage and capitalize on my opportunity and get the car but the other side of myself, (The adult side) is saying get the truck. Can you help me decide on what I should get or what you would get if you were in my position? And can you please tell me why you choose that option? If not I understand, your answer will do just fine. Thank you for your time.

oh and the truck is about 10 or 15 grand cheaper than the car but I don’t wanna mess up either of them

who assume any new technology or new thing in general is something only "Liberals" would buy and use?

I have an Tesla Model 3 car and whenever I drive by many ICE-powered cars driven by men in their 40s or older, they often give me a nasty look as if I'm just another douchy millennial who's a tree-hugging "leftist" that's out of touch from the real world and is incapable of maintaining ICE-powered vehicles.

I could care less about the environment, what car people drive (whether ICE or EVs) or politics as I'm the furthest thing from a "leftist", lol. I buy electric cars because they're much more convenient for me in budgeting money and maintenance because I pay more than enough bills already for college tuition, auto insurance and my appartment. I can maintain ICE cars, I just hate shelling out extra money and time for replacing parts like alternators, radiators, oil filters, and so on.

I am going to buy a new car, and.. The thing is - I want it to be sporty, luxurious and off-road capable... (and even get chicks lmao)... So should I buy a range rover as an all in one luxury, sporty, off roading vehicle, or get a luxury sports car (like a BMW M5) and get a shit ass off roader separatly?

for now i have enough money to purchase either of the 2 vehicles brand new , but... i dont know which one to buy... which one gets more attention in public, especially girls? lol😂😂😂😂

My sister's boyfriend sold me a car last summer, and I wanted to hear your take on the chaos that ensued.

boyfriend finds an old car that appears to be in good working order. Knowing that I was in need of a vehicle, he offers to sell it to me for a discounted price. He claims that the vehicle was in good shape, and had recently gotten a new engine put in.

I buy the car off of him with a partial payment, with other half coming in a couple weeks.

Immediately after I buy the car, the oil light comes on. Assuming that it was an electrical issue (the light flicked off and on, and the boyfriend said that the oil was dirty and needed to be changed), I continued to the drive the car for another ~100 miles. I know, I know... But I genuinely thought it was an electrical issue. I was about to get the oil change once I got paid.

Well eventually the engine seizes on me (the light was flickering when I would hit the gas, it didn't stay on) , and it turns out that the engine was dry, not a drop of oil in it. We take the car to a mechanic, and the part that failed was the crank shaft chain, which is not a part that typically fails when you drive a car without oil. Basically, it was NOT clear that my actions resulted in the car failing.

As time goes on, and we investigate the car, it turned out that the car was absolutely not what the boyfriend had claimed the car was. It did not have an engine replacement, he over charged me, it leaked oil like no one's business, the list went on and on.

The boyfriend tried to demand that I give him the remainder of the money. Eventually he gave me my money back, broke up with my sister, and resold the car. So what's your opinion?

Should he have given the money back, or did I owe him the remaining balance?
