I’ve always been cheap when it comes to cars, as long as it has the basic necessities (A/C and Radio) I’ve been happy. A few weeks ago I picked up a 2019 Versa (5 speed) with 49K miles on it from my credit union’s repo lot for 10K; the credit union also offered .99% interest so overall I feel pretty good about the purchase. The simplicity and efficiency has me in straight econobox nirvana and was wondering if there are other weirdos out there like me who just love a good bare bones car that does one thing and one thing only, going from A to B.
Absolutely. I’m driving a 2012 Civic.132,000 miles. I love my little car. I just put new tires on it, and that didn’t even crack 400 bucks. I get fliers from my local dealer telling me my car could be worth 10 grand. Like, if they had anyone with the gift of vision look at it in broad daylight for more than four seconds, they’d know the thing is worth 900 bucks on a good day.
It’s a thing of beauty to me. My wife drives a 2019 Accord, and I think we’ll be buying her a Pilot because she has always wanted an SUV. If I replace my car, I want a manual 2.0 Civic
Oh, and I rev my car out to 4-5k on the regular, and the thing just fucking takes it. No engine is indestructible, but this R block is showing me it’s not far off.
Yeah. I had a fiat, couple Geo metros, and a mini Cooper. I’m happier with small motorcycles though, even in the snow lol
