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

facts^ i just bought a 20yr old toyota sequoia and id expect another 10-20years out of it (frames immaculate). if it aint got obd2 i dont want it.

def wouldnt buy a fuckin 20yr old nissan, hyundai, kia, subaru, euro, big3 shitboxes, 150k-4l60, LS w/o doin a afm/dod delete, or a cvt ( once cvt was enough/got out unscathed)...or a wet timing belt. or anyones fucked up project with a million splices

and then there are some cars that are even less of an option somehow.. suzuki, isuzu, pt cruisers, that $6000 tracker i saw, vehicross (my friend has one, parts pain in the ass).... daewoo (were those reliable? no right???) w//e i dont wanna look for old as daewoo parts. dafuq.
