You have 10 seconds to explain why you don't own a 3k Civic.

Not rich enough to buy cheap shit.

I didn't want to turn into a ricer do I bought a 5k corolla instead

Biggest mistake of my life

Because I own a $1K Camry

Because I'm not poor?

Also why settle for a 3k Civic there, Pedro? I'm pretty sure a 1k Civic would be better.

because i drive good cars

Cause i bought a 3.5k Is300

don't have a single use for one.
And I dislike FF

I'd rather buy a 5k Civic Type R

Holy shit that mileage. And I feel like I'm pushing it when buying cars with 75k km.

Civics are shit and I wanted a better car than $3k could get me.
I'm not so poor I have to drive a 10+ year old car.
Or that I have to spend 3k on a 10+ year old car, because those go for £1k here.

Because I have a 2k RSX-S

Sounds like you just don't know how to work on cars. Enjoy wasting money.

Because I graduated high school.

Civics after the EK dont have any soul.\
Ive owned and driven the 3 gens after the EK and shit has been getting worse and worse.

>Enjoy wasting money.
One man's wasted money may be money well spend for another guy. Can't project your priorities on other people.

Because honda a shit

but i do.

Wrong wheel drive

Had a 2001 Civic LX sedan with a severely bent wheel and large dent in the side. Sold it to Carmax for $1,200 and bought something way better. No regrets.

Because I can afford to buy a new car.

Enjoy throwing away your money.

Enjoy driving an awful shitbox.

Because I bought a 3k Prelude.

Nice

>Excellent gas mileage
>Reliable as fuck
>Excellent manual transmission
>Lightweight
>Handles good

How exactly is it awful again? Nice try, nigger.

Because I own a 4k Corolla.

>130-200k miles car
>reliable as fuck

Civics can easily run into the mid 200k miles range.

Also,
>frogposter

>can run
>reliable
Poorfags never learn.

>buying a car with over 100k miles

>buy civic between 2-3k
>spend 2.5k over a few years
>spent 5k in the same amount of time you would've spent 12k on a kia.
It's still a win and the civic would be cheaper to insure and have cheaper taxes.

>Spend 2.5k out of pocket on repairs
>Not financing a newer car while building credit to eventually apply for a mortgage

Enjoy living in your mom's basement the rest of your life, poorfag.

Man if 2.5k over a few years sounds significant to you you already are a poor fag. Saving for a house would be easier if you are paying practically nothing for your transportation, only an idiot takes put a 30k car loan to help save up for the 30k downpayment and morgage for a home.

>30k car loan

Putting words in my mouth. I never said anything about a 30k car loan, dumbass.

Cause I don't like being a beta fag. Have fun living with your parents and having a successful career in fast food.

>Drives a brand new looking truck with not a single scratch or mark on it
>Assumes that his truck makes him more of a man, and is terrified of how he would be viewed without it

Checks out.

because my civic was 2800

Having a truck doesn't make me more of a man, being a responsible adult who is financially secure while fully supporting himself does.

Is it wrong to not have a scratch on something? I just take care of my shit.

>poorfag vs richfag thread

Then explain how paying for a car payment every month help to save up for anything. I'm and in the last 25k miles my car has needed a wheel bearing and front brakes. I did the work myself, and it has cost be less than $500 over the two years I've owned it. What car can you finance that would amount to a 3k downpayment with payments of $20 a month?

>poorfag projects based on cars

Checks out

Because I own a 1k A4

>driving a civic prevents you from being a responsible adult and having a job
At least put some effort into your shit bait.

what does having a new tacoma have to do with being financially secure? I'm a married homeowner and mechanical engineer making $65k a year and I drive a $2800 94 civic. Does that make me financially insecure or someone who doesn't throw money away on depreciating assets?

Do you really need to spend $3k on a Civic? I see decent looking ones for less than $1.5k around me

Because I bought a low mile 4.5k Acura and a 3k Yamaha

>65k/year
>94 Civic

>Driving a 23 year old shit heap makes me financially responsible

my parents are filthy rich and they drive an old used land cruiser and a rusted to shit rav4

Because I already have an £800 Corolla.

Because they're all automatics about to shit the bed from poor maintenance.

this desu

Because i got an ep3 type r for the equivalent of $4000, i thought used cars were meant to be dirt cheap and plentiful in the US

Im jelly. I want a bike to go with my civic.

Having a civic is fine, having a 3k civic because you live paycheck to paycheck is not.

Because I have a 5k integra

Depends on locale.
The more urban you are the better your chances, the more rural the worse
And America has much more rural land than urban land

>investing in depreciating asset is the smart thing to do

>literally everything depreciates
Time to take your vows of poverty, fuckboy
Dibs on your stuff

Buying a car is not a business decision it's done out of necessity

cars arnt investments

o shit nigga

Because only two of those are less than 10 years old and they both have almost 200,000 miles on them.

Because I have a 6k Civic. (RSX)

This

It triggers me when people call cars investments. They have no idea what an investment actually is by definition.

Exactly. There's no rational reason to burn money on a new car. Really wanting one is cool, but doesn't make it a financially sound decision.
>being this financially illiterate

Because I own a 3k 750

Of course buying new isn't a good idea, unless you go at the end of the year and get thousands cut off the MSRP to match a previous used model's market price. That's the only time I'd buy new.

I went to a shit dealership.

Because I own a $5k integra

I own a 1k buick instead

>good cars
maybe one day you can afford a great car like a civic

Because I have an $1800 subaru

Rims are low key gorgeous

I own a 1.5k Focus wagon.

I could 6 Twingos instead

Auto or manual? I just bought a manual one this last Saturday for 5k.

I do tho.

Talked him down to $3k

they're rich because they aren't retards and save money, and lucky for you they taught you that.

people in this thread have such big egos.

what type of Land Cruiser?

FZJ80?

Not who you were replying to but my Dad has an FZJ80 and 90

I would really like an HZJ80 with a five speed some day

Nice, post some pics if you have any.

I almost picked up an FZJ80 a couple months ago before I picked up my Miata and Civic.

So hard to find one that isn't rusted to shit here in New England. And if it isnt, its out of my budget lel

Shit its hard to find a clean 4runner as well.

I don't drive stick, and the civics have terrible autos

because doubling the budget gets me any other econobox with only 50K miles
