I thought you were going to say: "the tank's now 3/4 full"
More like a payment & a 1/2.
The cheapest vehicle is the one you already own.
The only exceptions are if it's a high end luxury vehicle or a Volkswagen Touareg.
My Chevy will fuck your antique up forwards and backwards.
Just playing. Lots of good 80s-90s trucks still on the road. I have one, but it's not good nor does it see the road very often.
4½ payments btw
I wish mine was 42, or 52 years old.
Paid $800 for my 97 Ford Ranger 7-8 years ago. I bought it because of the price tag (and it came with a shitty trailer) but it became my daily. I love this piece of shit.
I'm just now needing some work done to it for the first time. And I'm pretty sure it's just some wiring issues but it's the first time I've had to put any money into it.
Got a rebuilt M35 series duece and half with a winch, for $6,000 about 20 years ago, manuals and all. Nuke proof and dead simple. Picked up a stack of tires and spare parts when the us.mil was phasing them out for the FMTV. Originallly got it for a farm truck, but it's been my daily driver ever since. Niggers can't steal it because it's a manual transmission and that shit's like reading Sanskrit for a nigger, and won't steal it 'cause there's no AC, just a fan. Probably get handed down to the grandkids after I die.
Every time I have to drive up through Houston, a little part of me prays for a BLM/Antifa protest to be blocking the highway. OTOH, it's possible that even the HPD might notice if a big green truck started doing donuts in a patch of two lane highway.

I’m 41 and I’ve never had a car payment in my life. Fuck that noise. I drop 2-3k, drive it for about 5 years or so, then get something else.
Just replaced the ball joints on my Chevy, still cheaper than a single payment on a new one.
I hear ya, I've put 12k into my pickup in the last 3 years, bought it for 7500 10 years ago. Probably going to put another 3k into it in the next year and then it will be perfect
I thought you were gonna come back with some and it didnt get stolen shit...
I buy for reliability. I drive a Toyota.
My daily's a car half that age, but I only paid like $2900 for it. Then I put $1900 into it, and I ended up with a brand new car.
Edit: Also the previous owner was kind enough to put in tinted windows and an aftermarket stereo.
10 year old Toyota here. About to do a tune up, new plugs, etc. Put tires and a brake job on it a couple of years ago. A/C still blows ice cold and heater clears the windows in 10 mins. 109K
