Do you have a thousand dollar car payment?

[ThaiSexPills]

I used to finance everything when you could get 0-1%. Now rates are higher, I’ve been paying cash. I’d have a $2000 a month payment if they had 0% financing again. But they don’t.

No payments at the moment. Paid cash for my tundra and the tacoma is paid off. No plans to buy anything else. My commuter is a camry with 230k miles. Hoping to push that to 350k then buy another used camry.

I don’t think any of this has to do with the thread subject..

Good for you. I worked construction for a couple of years while studying. Everyone was piss-poor and at least on the brink to alcoholism.
Maybe it's different in the US but i never met a brick layer that could've afforded 1300 bucks a month for car rates.
If you aren't a contractor with your own firm you'll never be able to afford that here.

You will get 1300-1600 in germany working as a construction helper in montage/ demontage and roughly 2k as a brick layer after taxes.

And if you are self employed carpenter for instance you'll be crushed by minimum wage firms who offer the same work in shitty manner for a third of your price.

TBF, I’m now a project manager for a pretty big company. I run several projects at a time. I get most of our bigger projects, so it’s millions of dollars of work at each jobsite. I get a good salary and bonuses etc.
if I wasn’t doing this, I’d be self employed probably making even more lol. But, I’m saving myself from the wear and tear on the body lol

I used to think my cousin was half a retard for his 800 dollar car note on a G35 Infiniti back in the day. On top of the car note you have to insure if for a crazy amount of money if the car is worth that much. The price of a mortgage for something that is constantly losing its value something that is just for transportation from A to B.

0 car payment. actually just paid it off at the end of december. it was like 450 bucks. im 44, i dont drive much, so i think this will probably be my last car before I move outta the country. Its a 2019 2 door manual murdered out wrangler. I love it.

Gasconading about your $1000 payments on the Bentley is such a power move.

I got 701 on a 2024 Grand Cherokee . 1000 a month is nuts unless you live rent free.

Rent free in your truck..........

I heard the average American car payment was 700 and something. Then there's insurance and maintenance easily adding half that.

People do it, I think they're dumb, same for housepayments. Some asshole tells you what to want and people just say, "ya, that's what I want".

Mines about 530 but I pay 1000 a month towards it, that's for my civic si, my truck has been paid of for a couple years.

could’ve just said gay honestly

anyway i always laugh at people saying the middle class can’t get ahead but they have two car payments. trading in their car to get rid of negative equity. as a traveler i was clearing roughly 5000 a week and driving an 08 accord in 2020. every person i worked with was making 1/8 of that but with a new car, student loans, door dashed starbucks and so on.

I have a $1300 a month car payment on a truck, and I am not a construction worker.

I had one as well, business write off, but it still *felt* wrong, paid it off in 10 ish months
