Suddenly thrown in to the market for a new car. Fortunately my roommate and I work at the same place so I've had minimal impact to my life but fuck I had a bonus coming now I have to pay for shit.
Looking at a 2016 Hyundai Elantra. All the reviews are good for it and i'm afraid of change anyway
>buying a nearly brand new car you can't afford >willingly being raped by a dealership >hyundai What the fuck dude. You're retarded so im not even going to suggest any cars. Why don't you just burn all the money from your bonus and then kill yourself?
Henry Martinez
this desu. get a used truck or some shit when you get a little older you will appreciate it. Hyundai is garbage. at least post the cost as well
Gabriel Collins
If you're going to buy a commuter car, why not get some quality like a Toyota instead of a complete shitbox that will cuck you like there's no tomorrow.
Adam Scott
this will teach you the value of a dash cam. my bet is your insurance company will try and fuck off on this one
Jack Torres
2006-2011 Camrys have the Toyota 2GR-FE motor in them, which has been a solid motor. It'll get good gas mileage, and there's room for upgrades (expensive yes, but you're the one trying to buy a 2016 Elantra for whatever reason).

>>willingly being raped by a dealership >willingly subject yourself to shady bullshit side deals >willingly sit through friends constantly complaining about their used shitbox
Jordan Flores
for 12k you can get a bunch of nice shit. Are you just going to commute with this thing?
Kayden Ross
Pretty much, sometimes taking extended road trips but nothing too taxing. Also I'm the kind of lazy where making payments for 3 years is less hassle than dealing with used car shit
Asher Clark
>Shady bullshit side deals Ask me how I know you're retarded Enjoy your depreciating asset you stupid fucking nigger. I genuinely hope whatever piece of shit you overpay for gets wrecked in a week, and you unironically kill yourself or die in the crash
Nolan Diaz
I may have the ability to be more flippant with money than you but that's just plain mean
Jordan Long
This x 100
Just get a minivan that's expected to haul around your fat ass. Just don't forget to move your handicap sign from your broken piece of shit hyundai to your new tard wagon.

This board is fun
Jacob Long
I buy cars 25 years old + because I don't think anything new is worth buying. Trust me, old cars aren't always cheap buddy.
The thing is, you want to burn money on some boring Hyundai cuckbox, and I knew from the OP you were a retard scared of buying off CL or what have you. Most likely because you don't know anything about cars.
That's why im angry, you don't belong here. Fuck off you're not going to listen to anyone telling you it's a stupid idea. Seriously never post again.
Nathan Butler
I don't know shit about cars because I pay other people to know shit about cars. If I wanted actual car advice I'd go to /b/ and not a vehicle memeboard

as someone who has paid 2 cars off on 6 years payment plans I will tell you to buy used especially since you can get cheap insurance since your company will fuck you over.
people are rude because you ask for advice without giving us any info, and aren't open to recommendations.
you will regret that Hyundai though.
Luis Moore
But that's physically impossible you retard

I owned that Accent for 5 years with no problems. When was I supposed to see them and what would they have been

You deserve it, OP.
Joshua Thomas
OP, this board is full of 18-25 year olds that have no credit and are completely financially retarded. They genuinely think it's a good idea to blow tens of thousands in cash on a car all at once because jew-fearing brainlets can't comprehend budgeting and using interest rates to their advantage. You're in the wrong place to discuss buying a relatively new commuter car.
Hyundai hasn't been shit in years, so you're safe, especially with their warranties, but you should test drive others just to expand your horizons. I don't know if 2016 Civics are in your price range, but that would be my financed commuter shitbox if I was in the market.
Angel Perry

Holy shit, is this really what's spawning over in Veeky Forums?
Gavin Baker
No, it's how real life works you fucking pleb.
Hunter Sanders
Buying a used car outright is always cheaper than financing a new car. Or did your mommy not tell you that's why she has to work so much?
Landon Williams
>"""buying""" something you can't afford >paying 1.7million over the next 90 years for a $30,000 vehicle that you'd be lucky to sell for $12,000 once you drive it off the lot >every mile on that shiny new piece of shit devalues it further
Or, alternatively, you could not be dumb. A 15 year old corolla will do exactly the same thing if you're just commuting, if it breaks, buy another sub $1000 corolla You could fix it yourself for even less but OP "pays people to know about cars for him"... IE he's completely incompetent/thinks he's about 50x richer than he actually is.
Hey OP, stop humble bragging about how """""rich""""" you are, you're about to finance a $12,000 car fucking lmao live within your means kiddo
Gabriel Rodriguez
You are retarded > if it breaks, buy another sub $1000 corolla > if it craps out on the highway just sit in the middle lane blocking traffic for everyone while you sit in your shitbox then buy another car > if it craps out in the middle of nowhere on the freeway just buy another car after paying hundreds for a tow and repair or, or. I could not buy used
Angel Stewart
You sound like you know about as much as OP. Obviously no one here is going to Craigslist, putting in $1000 in the max price search option, and picking the first result that pops up.
Buying a used car that's not a complete wreck isn't that difficult if you don't have crackerjacks for a brain.
Joshua Ortiz
100 times this. I'm 31, the amount of unrealistic expectations these retarded kids have is beyond ridiculous. every once in a wile a good thread comes along but this place is bus riders and early 20's kids with piece of shit cars and inflated ideas of the real world.
Get the Hyundai if you like it, its your money. My in laws get a new one every couple of years and never have had problems. I've driven them and they actually have decent pick up if you mash the pedal.
The rare interior and rare car threads are fun but the majority of people here just parrot shit they heard other people say/ post with zero actual experience with anything.
I just traded my SHO in for the quadrifolio, something these autists would scream and rave about because it's the internet and they can't get their ass beat.
Isaac Thomas
>uuuuuu Hyundai a garbage uuuuu There is nothing wrong with modern Hyundais. Hyundai = garbage if it's 90s or early 2000s

Logan Flores
Im sure your Hyundai will never, ever break dipshit. I see 20+ 1990-2000ish Corollas on the highway on my way to and from work every day, and you know what?
Not once has one been broken down blocking traffic
Neither has my 28 y/o Honda that I daily, because I maintain it
Have you considered suicide? Ohhh an internet tough guy. Tell me more about how you'll beat my ass for disagreeing with you, you big strong man Every car made after 2000 is Garbage A fool and their money are easily parted, see of the dealership will take 0.1% off your interest rate if they get to gangbang your wife This
Brody Hill
Most smart kids aren't gonna go out and finance a brand new car. It's better to finance that 12k cricket to build a credit history. So when you are established and finish school or whatever it is your doing before you start a career you'll have no issues getting the vehicle you want with an apr that makes sense when you are set.
But you obviously are a fucking moron.

Agreed. I never post only lurk. You can tell who the people are that have serious emotional problems. It seethes through their posts.
Caleb Gutierrez
You, obviously, are a fuckin moron. Do not finance anything if you can possibly avoid it. When a $1500 car and a $15000 car do the same thing, and you're too much of a poor nigger to buy the $15000 one outright, then you should accept that you're a poor nigger and live within your means, and buy the fucking $1500 car and focus on not being a poor nigger anymore >My stock, all original car thats been so well maintained for the last 30 years that I fit in in car shows is a shitbox Okay I guess so. it's not my only car anyway I've been suicidal for at least 6 user, yet here I still am. Sometimes I take my hands off the wheel when there's a semi in the oncoming lane, but my car always just goes straight or towards the ditch
Justin Anderson
>I'm an ast for ford Oh good, a dealership mechanic is telling you to buy from a dealership. Whew, never saw that coming.
Gavin Cox
Lol I meant the guy you responed to, not you. My bad.
Elijah White
I think what's pissing people off is that OP wants to spend 10k+ on a crappy commuter car for literally no reason other than that he can, and he's trying to shit on people actually trying to give his dumbass advice. If he were smart he would spend half that on a problem free civic and be down with it, but he's not
Nolan Nguyen
These 3 "qualities" say something about the owner.
They are uninterested in driving and therefore have fuck all for driving skills or interest in cars. They do not a fucking thing to advance the industry for enthusiasts or people who just like cars. People flock to buy something new and cheap that works. Executives see these sales numbers and focus on it, then other companies catch on and follow suit. It becomes a perpetual cycle of shitty, uninspired, shitboxes.

Jeremiah Moore
I do, my car is nice, somewhat rare, and well kept.
Being suicidal is edgy? I just genuinely want to die. The other user said id shoot myself in 5 years, I was commenting on that. He meant OP though not me funny enough
Replace haircut with car, and we have this thread summed up.

I'm still waiting for someone to prove to me financing a new car is a smarter option than purchasing a used car outright. That shit makes no sense to me, unless you're not a car enthusiast and have no wrenching smarts.
Charles Edwards

I'm not sure who your financial advisor is, but whoever it is, you might want to check their number of chromosomes.
Christopher Edwards
I know you're not in the habit of educating yourself, but here's a good place to start.
Still waiting for someone to prove to me that financing a new car is a bad option other than paying interest
Angel Mitchell
buy a KIA instead. cheaper built hyndai. havent heard of them breaking (yet)
Gavin Lewis
If the car you're buying is hella expensive it's better to give the bank their interest and invest the cash you didn't instantly drain out of your bank account to break even while not being completely fucked if you need to cough up cash for something else
This only works if you're over 25, because financing means comprehensive insurance, or taking out a personal loan/credit card for a used shitbox because you can't afford a 5k miata.
Also, motorcycles have some interesting financing options. I know suzuki sportbikes are actually financed on credit cards so you don't need insurance if your state doesn't require it, hence why poor niggers in florida and washington ride suzukis.
Hudson Richardson
>other than paying interest Looks like you solved that one on your own there Hardy boy. If you like to shit all over your re-sale value, drive it off the lot. If you want to piss money away, finance it.
Justin Cooper
you're talking like people buy cars because they want them and not because they have to buy them and therefore want to spend as little money as possible
Brody Hernandez
Why would you want to pay 20%+ on top of the sticker price just for the "privilege" of paying monthly for a couple of years? You can buy some immaculate used cars for a fraction of the cost of a (nearly) new one, and you own it outright from the start so there's nothing hanging over you. (You can still finance a used car in most places now, if you really have a fetish for throwing money around.) Depreciation works for you in this case, becasue as has been pointed out the value of a new car jumps right in the shitter as soon as you drive it off the lot.
Fair enough, buying used is either more of a gamble or more effort required. And if you're not down with that, then that's fine. Just remember
Brayden Reyes
The one case where it makes sense is limited production runs of supercars.
In that case, not even the rich want to drain their checkings accounts or cash out their investments all at once, just because that actually reduces your wealth in the long term more than paying interest.
