i take in over 6 figures and still drive a civic because spending money on cars is moronic
lose weight
samsies, pulling a little over 2.5k a week and I was driving a 2011 civic for a long time, I just commandeered my moms 2017 civic, so I should be good for another like 15 years now.
>Buy Toyota Hilux
>Get indestructible car
It's just that simple Gankerros. Some zoomer's lambo won't stand a chance against that juggernaut.
hope your pet dies of cancer ya import driving c**t
>earn 6 figures
>drive 2005 Lexus Ls430
The car is still fricking nice but there is no reason to go out and spend 10s of thousands of dollars on some new garbage shitbox
I drive a little yamaha scooter actually.
I don't got out much though, I've had it for 2 years and only have 1.350 KM on it
I have a 3060ti and drive a 2007 Acura. I'm looking to get an Accord Hybrid next, brand new, probably early next year. I dont really care about my car as long as it drives, unfortunately mine sounds like its almost on its last legs with 160K
>Accord Hybrid
Do you care about trunk space at all? Most of those sedan hybrids are cucked to hell in that area, worst offender pic related.
Not really, worst I ever have to carry is 2-3 suitcases every so often to the airport and this looks like it would be enough especially with fold down rear seats. I care more about the Hybrid aspect (and was hoping for a Civic because I like tiny cars).
>Investing in a depreciating asset
Just get something Japanese at average price and don't be moronic in maintenance. Drive it until it breaks and don't pay a israelite loan/note.

that doesnt work unless you are also able to drive your expensive car back to your expensive house that you also own
you dont drive a lamborghini back to your state provided housing to plap plap plap the night away
I needn't have pussy
Once you're married you only ever need one pussy.
I literally only drive a 5k motorcycle and I get pussy. No car.
The car can drive on all roads
A 15 year old GPU can't play all games
I don't have a 4090 but I love driving shitboxes. Why spend money on a modern car when I can spend the same money working my way through 6 different shitboxes.
What more do you need in a car as long as it functions and gets you to your destination reliably?
Something that could keep me safe in a crash.
Something small that can fit anywhere/something with plenty of carrying capacity in case my job would benefit from that.
Something with A/C.
A/C is vital depending on where you live, I drove a car once with a rear view camera and lane assist which was nice but you don't really need that.
Buying expensive cars has to be THE biggest meme on the planet
Buying fast GPUs are an even bigger meme. What are you going to use it for? Modern games?
you havent lived if you didnt experience modded cyberpoop @ 4k
I don’t think anyone should be exposed to cyberslop regardless of resolution.
I own a 6 series bmw and a slk mercedes.
You wouldnt believe how a 30 year old manages to pull up 16-20 year old with ease. Helps that am very fit and good looking too of course.
>Helps that am very fit and good looking too of course
Yeah, helps with them looking past the fact that you drive some drug pusher's car, kek
Doesnt change the fact that im a hot dude in a superb looking car
For the price of an RTX 4090, you can buy a very nice car in Australia. Picrel, fricking Type R VTEC motor pulls like a rocket and looks like sex even when modified. Lots of mods available, great power, comfortable and very reliable and easy to maintain. They are going up in value unlike an RTX 4090 which will only continue to depreciate.
You can suck my american hog. These are $5k+ with 150,000 miles on it here.

>tfw don't even have a car
I hate being a buscuck so fricking much
Bro something like mazda 626 costs pennies and it'll keep going forward for quite a few years.
How the frick does a girl even react to a pathetic bus driver
gentleman. How do i decided which shitbox to buy?
I really like old sports car but I do feel like they are way too troublesome and expensive to maintain. I am not a car savvy guy so i fear getting ripped off whenever i send it to the mechanic.
Go buy a civic, if you arent doing the work yourself youll go broke if you try to maintain something like an old sports car
Though id say that if you able to build a computer youd be able to fix a car, you just have to learn
If it works fine and is in good condition then what's the problem? Some people just need to drive from A to B
>implying Gankergays ever need to drive in the first place
I have a full time job, a girlfriend and take night classes, I absolutely need a car.
4090 here, I don't even have a driving license because I barely get out from my house, and workplace is literally across the street
I work from home and barely leave the house a few times per month. If I get a different job I'll probably get a shitbox, though I'm thinking about getting a motorcycle license in that case and getting one of those.
I've seen enough videos and news reports and blood on the pavement to know not to get a motorcycle.
>driving anything from 2009 onwards
i sure love needing to put my car on a lift in a shop to do any amount of maintenance.
the way newer cars are made, and with heavily incentivised leasing over buying outright or financing, the industry is becoming "vehicles as a service" and i am not buying into this vile israeliness
what car should one buy to have the least amount of problems with?
Corolla or Yaris
Worth spending the extra on a Corolla over a Yaris
This. Yaris is fine day-to-day but it will shatter your eardrums at highway speeds. I haven't driven a corolla, but surely it must be better than this buzzing little frick.
It's better, I've driven both. The Corolla at the very least offers that standard sedan experience that you expect. Better yet, get a Camry if it's close enough in price in your region.
I'll tell you, but you won't be happy to hear it.
Prius
so just get japanese cars?
got it
yes
Yes, Japanese build quality is ridiculous, especially Toyotas. My 80s Corona(the predecessor to Camry) still drives like the day I got her.
it's not necessarily about it never breaking down, it's about balancing reliability with parts availability. around most of north america, something like a honda civic is a great choice because you can't throw a rock and not hit a junk yard with the parts you need, and it's sturdy enough with regular maintenance. i'm also a big fan of 80's and 90's squarebody ford pickups just for how piss simple they are to work on.
I do love dependable 90's Japanese cars
Frick you OP for being a consoomer Black person who tries to shame chads who drive the best era of cars
I drive a shitty Ford Escort from my dad, it just werks.

Budget is 20k AUD. I want something cool. Will be used for commuting and the occasional long trip (250-400km).
cheap Nissan Sunny and spend the rest on VB ya sick c**t

Redo your kitchen with the rest
This car fricks but don't forget to remap the ECU for the 30-40 free horses honda just kinda left in there to bring it in line with the 1.8 petrol engine.
I assume you're male and don't need huge cargo space, so you should get a sedan. "Cool" differs between people but I'd try for a syb-10yo camry/accord/mazda 6. Should be within reach unless AUS market is more fricked than I anticipated.
>20k on a car
Just buy a BMW if you want to be moron
20k funny money, anon
20k is a quarter of the way to a deposit on a house. Just buy a jap import.
I was looking to get a few years old Japanese car and it was literally only 5k less than a new one, no brainer to just spend the extra just in terms of maintenance cost and use over the lifetime. Sometimes it can be worth spending more
You can get a jap import for less than 5k anywhere in Australia.
You realize you lose a third of your investment on a car the moment you buy it.
Why the frick would you spend 20k on a car so you can kiss 7k goodbye instantly when you could buy a car that's just as good, looks great, never been in a crash for less than that 7k.
Especially when buying a 20k car is only going to get you called stupid and an butthole
As I said just buy a BMW if that's what you want
Let me give you my exact example. I was looking at a used camry, a 2017 camry (needed it to be 2017 or newer so it had a backup cam because I park in a parking garage often) was like 21k. A new one was 28k, would I rather have the maintenance on a 5+ year old car with less features for a third more? Yeah I figured that was a good deal
>(needed it to be 2017 or newer so it had a backup cam because I park in a parking garage often)
Please be bait.
Skill issue if you must, but I have to park around fricking dumbass support beams and maneuver around without hitting them, I have a really shitty parking spot that gives me like a foot of clearance on the side and a fricking coon that can't park on the other side
>because I park in a parking garage often
lmao
Why don't you stick to hot wheels friend. Try not to lose it up your nose

Ganker full of sour grapes homosexuals and i'm tired of pretending it's not
Way to prove my point, you're already coming off unhinged.
I literally spent only 1K € for my pc with a 3060
If you think that's a lot you're the poorgay
I'd be fine with either situation if the person buying knows exactly how to get the most out of what they are buying. But most people spending top dollar on either are morons with more money than sense, and just wanna buy the biggest, shiniest thing. And so I laugh at them for being moronic.
I can understand wanting a nicer car if you're someone with a long commute or someone who does plan to do a large amount of driving, but if you're someone who has a 5 to 10 minute commute to work and then never go far from your home then it isn't justified.
Shitboxes are funner to drive. It's not a cope, it's the truth.
>mfw I drive my scootie up to 45kmph on a single lane road and all the gays in expensive cars behind me can't overtake

yes, some are also born American.

What about old cars that are produced today?
>bought a Cressida
>Actually bought a sitting room, complete with a full sofa and two lay-z-boy recliners
Kind of wish I could import a crown, bet those things are wildly comfortable.
One of the sales associates on the other side of the shop got a Crown Majesta. It was nice when it first showed up, now it's covered in leaves, bird shit and covered in water spots. I think it's funny that those executive cars have curtains and curtain rods, because 99% of Japanese households don't have curtains.
Not sure if this is the exact model but I remember hearing of a V12 Crown completely decked out in luxury and had a price around $100000
They're nice, but good luck with replacement parts for a discontinued car. Also the V12 is for the Century, not the Crown. The Century is also handbuilt so you're only option is to fabricate new parts yourself. Would not recommend as a daily, just get a Lexus LS/GS
I been trying to find a nice 90s japanese car, four door. Only reason i dont is because i know parts are gonna be a b***h.
>I want a 90s nip shit box

Modern cars all look like eggs.
I like the design of older models.

That's actually everyone I know, it's surprisingly accurate. I know someone with a 4090 who just drives his friend's 20 year old car. The 4090 costs more than the car.
>Guitar more expensive than car
>Gun more expensive than car

You're unable to put steelies on a Toyobaru yourself?
we only have civics and corollass around here. almost everything else is imported.
Not really worth the hassle to pick up a Subaru with a shit motor, only to commute with it. I'm sure there's better options available for you.
>they never imported the LC500 non-h to my shithole
it hurts
30yo shit boxes were great. Just because it took until the 21st century for America to make decent cars doesn't mean old cars are bad
Thanks to anti-theft features with high failure rates, the owner of a modern car is more likely to have the ability to drive their own care taken from them than actually have the car stolen.
To get it repaired would cost more than some 2002 Honda that still runs. I would rather just buy 10 2002 Hondas for the same price as a modern car. You're more likely to have a running, working car that way.
You'd be a fool to drive anything newer than the 90s.
>first car had a 4L engine, 400,000kms on the speedo, and fake woodgrain on the dashboard

Anons - how much should I spend on a used car? I wanted to go $5000 but my parents are insisting I shouldn’t spend any less than $10000. That’s going to take me a considerably longer time to gather and I’d like a car soon. Thoughts please??
Anything over $10k and you have to file it on your taxes. The cutoff is $9999.
I'd recommend spending a bit more because you're going to have to keep fixing that piece of shit every year and it's going to end up costing you even more. The best is to buy 5-6 years old, sub 80k KM and then sell it when it starts giving you problems and have some poorgay deal with it instead. When shit starts going wrong everything goes wrong.
First car ever when learning to drive? Absolute shitbox for 3k tops. If you buy a nice car, you will worry about every scratch and dent, which are likely to happen when you're inexperienced. Start with a car that you won't regret trashing.
I'll drive my shitbox into the dirt and then I'll get another shitbox
cars are an actual waste of money
unless you're rich and want to flex, just drive pieces of shit until they break
>Spending money on cars
Americans:
What is a "Getta" or "Jetta" ? I heard in a video someone refer to one while a picture oh a Golf GTI was on screen. Is it a nickname you call for them? Or is it another car model?
Yes it's another model. Jetta is basically a sedan version of Golf. In the rest of the world it was replaced in the 90s by first Vento and then Bora but they were still called Jetta in America.
I see. Thank you.
>I would be fine with a small but posh car like Giuletta or lexus CT
>I'm the only driver in close+extended family so I need a big frickoff wagon for everything car-related for everyone

I drive a mk4 GTI. I put a lot of money into it, to get it running correctly and for a bit more hp. I love it. It has been reliable for the past 2 years with no issues. Love the mk4's. What I really want now is a Corvette C6 Z06. Or maybe build an engine for my mk4. Idk. I'm on the fence.
>too tall (and fat) to fit into a nice sports car
money saved!
tried sitting in a Ford Mustang once, bumped my head and it was super uncomfortable all around.
I'm 6ft 6 and I can't fit in so many small cars. Frick this shit.
Funnily enough, small-ish cars work better than "luxury" ones. Plenty of space for me in my old Ford Fiesta ('89) and Citroen Saxo. Same with an old BMW 3 series (E36) compared to some 5 series models. Tried a new-ish Ford Fiesta and they make me feel caged in.
A GT40 Mk2 is my absolute dream car, but I would probably have to cut myself in half to even fit inside one, kek
The average car payment is $700 my dude he can afford a 4090 because of his shitbox.
>paid this piece of shit 17k euro 2 years ago
>regret my choice everyday
It's ok, you had a woman moment, happens to the best of us.
The problem is that B-segment cars cost even more now
You paid the car? What did it do for you in return for the payment?
sunked my dink
Would a transformer
that shitbox will frick up your tesla any day op
why would i buy anything other than 75hp shitbox which i redline everywhere?
I love my twingo. It's super CUTE!
HON HON HON
because a shitbox gets you to work and back all the same assuming you do maintenance as needed. Expensive cars are a moron trap.
Am I getting old if all I want is a nice estate car?
They seem like the most practical to me.
I'd go for a Skoda Octavia RS if I had to pick an estate one. Plenty of power so it's still fun to drive.
WHat about the volvo v60?
>volvo v60
Can't say much about it, but Skoda seems to offer more for the price paid. Guess it all comes down to personal preference in the end either way
If I could, I'd go with an electric car for the acceleration alone. I don't care for high top speeds, but accelaration is pure sex. Also, you don't have to drive like a madman and make it guzzle like mad, either. Obviously, if you drive a couple KMs to work, and not even on a highway at that, it's a waste. But if that's a concern, one could just buy the smalles available shitbox to being with
>RS
Not that guy, but all of those golf GTIs and similar variations, simply guzzle more gas in daily use for no reason. How often are you ACTUALLY going to make proper use of that 240hp or however much they stuck in there?
>3070ti

What do you do with a watch besides look at it?
Be Ganker. A good watch can complete a look.
Assuming you have a look to complete to begin with
That's pretty much it. What do you do with a car besides drive it? Same shit. I don't drive for enjoyment but looking at the nice watch on my wrist is more enjoyable
Muh watch that went to the moon

How do I get a car as a destitute poorgay? I had a 98 Toyota Tacoma but then some drunk butthole t-boned me and drove off and I just had liability so now I'm stuck carless.
I bought my used car for less than what an RTX 4090 costs.
>buy nice version of sports car i had as a teenager
>catch reflection of my 35 year old self driving it in windows at a traffic light
>sell car
Car culture has brainwashed you.
The next time I'm shopping for a car, my #1 criterion will be interior quality. I don't care for intense hobbyist driving and I don't care what my neighbors think of my car from the outside, I just want to feel cozy behind the wheel.
Then buy german. Can't go wrong with Beemer merc or an audi. Hell, even vw are better than any jap including lexus
German cars are overpriced and cost a frickton when it comes to maintenance
>cost a frickton when it comes to maintenance
My brother in Christ, you asked for comfort, not for reliability. If you wan't the latter buy Toyota
>including lexus
idk man my Lexus boomermobile is extremely comfortable on top of being reliable
A Lexus is literally just a Toyota in a fancy dress. You'd probably go through 3 Beemers before a Lexus starts showing problems. Frick German cars.

I cant accept that im supposed to put my life in the hands of all the morons on the road.
Be the better driver. You can be mowed down by morons in tanks as a pedestrian, too.
Even the biggest idiot out there doesn't actually want to crash.
>How do i get over my fear of other drivers?
You don't, assume everyone is a moron and until you are confident behind the wheel don't do anything stupid yourself.
Only be afraid of trucks, but unless you live 3rd world, those guys are either extremely skilled or on cocaine with hyperawareness so they will drive better than (You).
My 30yo shitbox is more reliable than a brand new card that will stop working after 1-2 sensors fail and i cant tell which one they are because the proprietary diagnostic tools are not available.
I've got a 4070 and I daily drive an rx7 with 350 HP. I'm gonna sell my kidney for gas money.
>car with higher clearance no good because....

Why is Ganker like this?
you can’t possibly like that kind of cars

There's a point where you realize if you're not taking your car to the track weekly you don't need a nice car. You just need to get to point a to point b.
