Tell me I'm stupid and I shouldn't do this...

[RICH17]

and wait... didn't you like just get a credit score like 4 months ago?

yes

It could be a lot of factors then why mine is so much cheaper than yours. Age and Marital status plays into it as well. I'm over 25 and married which makes me less of a risk in their eyes.

Also I have established credit for years. Idk how that plays into effect for it though.

 

[Smokinhot]

I say it works. Say you buy a beater and then it requires $$$$ now did you really save?

 

[Rent Free]

buy it drive it a year or 2 sell it for your original purchase price or not take much of a hit on it.

easily cheapest new car ive ever seen.

drive it rack up the miles something breaks tell dealer call you when its done.

if you need a mpg vehicle i see no down sides to this.

 

[The Broken Regal]

If only you would have kept that TDI and now in line for a $5k payout bonus lol

Honestly, just because it is so small that would kinda make me go ehhhh

If its fun to drive and you wont be bored of it after a week, nice deal tho

 

[Gone_2022]

I would say do it as long as you know what your getting into. Its a cheap crap box car. Its going to rattle and make noise, its going to be the cheapest interior you have ever seen. And just like the Cruze the value of the car is going to tank. You will be lucky to get 4-5k trade in on it in 2 years

 

[The Broken Regal]

yes

Can you just go on progressive site right now and do a quote and screen shot it? I seriously don't know how it can be so high for you

I'm insuring two brand new cars, lease full coverage so some crazy high level "because its a lease" and I think I'm maybe at 80 bucks a month?

Deer I'm not concerned with, it's the Elk. Elk will fuck me in my truck though too.

Sadly due to various work issues I haven't been up north in about 3 years. They have elk in your area now? Last time I was up there we had deer, a few bears and rumor of mountain lions.

 

[Outlaw]

I'm still pondering the whole thing. I know what I'm getting myself into, but, I need to do something for a commuter vehicle. The best thing for me would be a small pickup, but, they're ridiculously expensive. At least with something like this I know the most I can loose is $9,000 As much as this car isn't going to be worth shit in 4 years, neither is my truck with 350,000 miles on it. Robbing Peter to pay Paul? Yes. But, I have to do something.

Yeah, one came across the road about 2 miles from my house last weekend.

That's crazy. You're about 2 hours straight west of where we are at.

 

[Outlaw]

Like, I obviously wouldn't be buying something like this, but, this is the cheapest Colorado on the market... 2x4, 6-Speed 4-cylinder.... Still double the $$$ of the Spark.

progressive is slightly cheaper. I cant figure out how to screen show when I have multiple screens

What can this do that some $2500 2000 Civic can't?

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Buy a nice $3-4000 non-rotted (at least super minimal) XJ and call it a day. AND drive it until the end of fucking time itself.

done. /thread

[Chester Copperpot]

Never should have ditched mine. Always on the look out for one reasonably priced with reasonable miles.

Rich you getting boned on insurance, my Cruze is like 30 bucks a month li can't remember the liability insurance amount whatever the max they will give is I normally try for 500k/1,000,000 but for some reason I think my current company wouldn't go that high and it's 250/500

Be new, have more features, get rid of my Harley.

Because just as little interior room for occupants and just as shitty of mileage as a full size Suburban.

 

[Outlaw]

Aside from the points brought up in the thread, I've talked myself into and out of this no less that four times today.

 

[1quick]

Just impulse buy it already

Road tripping my buddies first. That's the other thing kinda talking me out of it... I'd say 75% of the trips that I go on to Hayward Joe is with me, so, we can just take his Spark lol.

Your jeep loves it when I'm inside of it

 

[SinisterSHO]

I haven't read the thread, but are you actually going to listen to anything anyone says anyways?

 

[Outlaw]

People bring up points, some good, some bad... Good to have the input. As of now I'm not sold on it.
