  • Some people don’t have the time and money to drop $1,000 on a car that may not run for long and look for another car that’s more affordable.

    I’m just saying it’s really expensive to be poor.

  • New cars are more reliable than used and while it’s not a good idea to take loans when you’re broke, sometimes it’s the only option.

  • Admittedly I live in a high cost of living area, but yeah most Americans arent going to have $5k on hand.

  • lol I think you’ve lost the topic of conversation we were having here

  • Big picture here - just because you have a single used car for sale at $400 doesn’t make used cars in general affordable.

  • Those estimate signs are doing a lot of heavy lifting for you and you’re underestimating those costs.

    Maybe in bumfuck Mississippi those are regular prices, but I doubt it.

  • You gonna install all that for free?

    Batteries alone start at $200.

    You’re in south Mississippi. Enough said, dude. That’s why everything is cheap and you’re trying to sell a non-running car for $400.

  • A battery, ignition lock, and new key is not just $200

  • It's not just $400 - you listed out like $1,000 worth of repairs it needs before it can be driven.

  • People will quit giving you shit when you stop floundering around and wondering why people would buy a new car instead of a used car.

    Not THAT many people live in bumfuck Mississippi where things are dirt cheap out of your backyard. Not to mention you're selling a car for $400 and then saying it needs like $1,000 in repairs before it can be driven. Slimy.

  • Yeah....it's a 1995 and who knows how long it will last on the road before falling apart.

    Just because you have a single used car you're trying to sell for cheap doesn't make the entirety of used cars suddenly more affordable.

  • Used cars in my area START at $10k. I think you're bullshitting.

  • Have you seen the prices of used cars these days? Who has that kind of money in cash and isn't in the financial position to buy new?

  • Not everyone has several thousands in cash to buy a used car outright. Most Americans don't even have $1,000 in emergency savings.

  • Where are you finding a used car for $3000 that's running?

  • Sometimes they’re cheaper than used cars now. Covid really fucked with used car prices.

  • Those spry 60 year olds will really get the youth to the ballot boxes!

  • Oooh I like this idea

  • Establishment Dems need to make way for younger and more progressive incumbents. It's clear that they will continue to cling to power until they die before doing so though.

    Older Dems are sick of hearing about "generational change"
