New Daily

[8mpg]

Putting a wad of 13k down on a car that won't be worth 12k the following year is dumb for a daily drive car.

he could have got a 2006 tdi loaded for less than that, and not loose out on as much money, plus get better gas mileage, larger vehicle, and factory turbo charged to help out with being super sluggish.


Now given, his choice would be an obvious ok one if he was financing with little or nothing down, but bringing $13k to a dealership to walk out with a $12k car is a bad decision.
buying a car is always a losing investment, but when you buy the one with less mpg that will be worth less (and already is), it's like making a bad decision worse.

i'd like to hear how you think he made a smart decision.

While Im a fan of the TDI... spending $13k on a used car with no warranty, 100k miles, expensive motor to fix, and the simple fact its used doesnt make that much sense to me. Was the maintenance done? Will the transmission need a rebuild or clutch need to be replaced? When you buy a used car, you never know wtf happened to it. My truck was wrecked and fixed and had a clean carfax. I didnt know it. Was my clutch replaced by the previous owner? I dont know when I will need a new clutch.

Any car will be worth less than what you bought it for in a year no matter what. Your logic, in my mind, makes no sense. It makes sense to put money down on a car to deffer interest. Its a smart decision. Granted new car interest rates are very low, why would you rather pay interest on something than not? Paying $13k cash for a TDI that will be worth 11k next year is as equally as dumb as your theory of paying $13k cash on his car.


The Fiesta is an affordable and economical car. Being brand new with warranty. Whats wrong with that?

It was a made lie until you were caught, then you tried to tell it into a made up story (of lies).

You're not fooling anyone.

I had you all fooled from the get go. I don't understand your statement.


Anyways this thread isn't about girl troubles. Stop derailing my thread.

What bank let you finance under 2 grand? Most banks ive seen wont finance less than 6-8k because its not worth it to them to do less.

I love those deals... it's guaranteed money - your LTV is like 30% - you can't lose. I would charge you a high interest rate on it though.

I don't think it was a bad purchase - cars that cheap are better purchased new. Generally, those cars go to kids as their first car, or people who can't afford anything better - both of which beat the shit out of it and don't do the maintenance. With gas prices being uncertain, I predict it to hold value better than you might think.

You didn't have anybody fuckin fooled. You want to open that whole can of worms again and derail the fucking shit out of this thread? Stop being a douche and puffing out your chest and take your lumps.

I don't get your facination with them.

Super cheap to buy, super reliable, easy to work on if need be, obscenely good fuel economy, super cheap to insure... I bought my white one when gas was $2.58 4ish years ago, gas went to $3 shortly thereafter... My insurance DECREASED $18 a month and i saved enough in fuel costs to have it paid for in 3 months. No more 18,000 miles/yr on the GT or $500/mo gas billz For a $600 beater to drive to work, it's fucking genius.

Fair enough. Does your Stang get that bad of mileage with the 6 speed?

Averaging 22 mpg isn't bad, but I'd rather have a GT with only 20K on the clock after 3-4 years rather than 70-80K.

Can't beat 5 year/60,000 mile warranty and 3 year/36,000 mile bumper to bumper on a daily. Keeps me from driving my other vehicles which rape me in mpg.

Who are you, the motherfucking internet police?

I can assure you, you didn't. You intended to throw it out there for truth, but you're too ignorant to match up the details between your conflicting posts. You thought you were gonna tell a big story and make yourself out to be some cocksman ordering your ladies around to suit your pleasure. Instead you got busted, your story fell apart like and you were left looking like an immature little bitch. Moron.

They all think their opinions matter. By no means is this guy a pig.

I'm steady getting a laugh out of the whole ordeal. The roommate did as well. In fact she'll have dinner ready by the time I get home tonight from work.

Why pay 13k for a 9k tdi? I'm confused. . . ?
Even after money spent on repairs, he's still ahead of the depreciation of the fiesta.

How about you shut the fuck up and mind your own damned business.

I'm sure she loved having her personal information and pictures posted for all to see.

I never posted personal information or pictures. YOU did. That had nothing to do with me, at all. Stop your bitching old man.

Staying out of someones business is something you'd know nothing about. Or at least that's the way you act. I'm sure you're cool in your own mind. Hell I'm a pimp in my own fucking mind.
