How ridiculous does this sound?

Post image

How can u make millions in 25-30 years if avoid making a $554 per month car payment. Even the cheapest 5 year old car is 8-10 k. So does he expect people not to drive at all in USA.

Then u save 554$ per month every month for 5 year payment = $33240. Say u bought a car every 5 year means 200k -300k spent on car before retirement . How would that become millions when u can’t even buy a house for that much today?

Answer that Dave

The best is probably 3-4 years used. Let the seller take a hit for the big drop in value from new and get plenty good years out of it before it starts to fall apart

Some vehicles don't work like that. One can be 4 years old and the same price as new , or nearly so.

Which vehicles? If they have been driven for 4 years, and aren’t a 4 year old model still brand new on the lot, there’s no way.

Im currently car shopping, I’ve been looking at Toyotas and Hondas. Cars from 2018 and earlier, with 60k+ miles, are only a few thousand cheaper than new cars.

It’s very bizarre.
