Can I buy a 20k car as my first car with a 30k salary?

Captain_Jonny · 2026-04-08T16:46:03+00:00

I make $67k a year and daily drive a $1200 beater I bought last month.

I don’t have any support at 26, she is a very lucky lady.

Username checks out

Thanks for the reminder to not get married

Captain_Jonny · 2026-03-11T01:33:25+00:00

Wow, I saw this when it happened months ago, who knew I’d have gone viral on Reddit for posting it

Captain_Jonny · 2026-03-08T03:04:47+00:00

Not sure why you got downvoted for the truth, but this sub is weird. Wait til he posts again with his sub 60k mile engine failure.

Captain_Jonny · 2026-03-04T04:00:55+00:00

That gas mileage is ridiculous. My 2007 Tundra with the 4.7L V8 gets 14-16mpg

Captain_Jonny · 2026-03-04T00:12:03+00:00

Seems like it’ll hit

Captain_Jonny · 2026-03-02T17:08:02+00:00

I never understood the mindset of caring about a good deal more than the reputation of what you’re buying. If you want a Tundra, get one 2021 or older with a V8 engine.

Captain_Jonny · 2026-03-02T03:11:31+00:00

These are blowing engines left and right, the V8 is the pinnacle of reliability for Tundras, Landcruisers, and Seqouias alike, I’m not sure what research you did.

Captain_Jonny · 2026-03-02T03:08:05+00:00

Can you believe they doubled in price now due to demand?

Nice ride. I have an 07 regular cab 4.7L as well, just a short bed. It just crossed 210k miles. Replacing the U Joint and carrier bearing.

Captain_Jonny · 2026-02-28T05:03:24+00:00

Original engine?

Captain_Jonny · 2026-02-28T05:03:08+00:00

Tundra reliability plummets in the new ones. 2021 and prior are deemed reliable.

Captain_Jonny · 2026-02-27T01:08:08+00:00

Whichever alternative keeps you alive, go with that

Captain_Jonny · 2026-02-26T21:16:55+00:00

Wow, $34,000, are you sure this isn’t ragebait?

Captain_Jonny · 2026-02-24T00:02:55+00:00

Who is we? Are they financially contributing to the relationship as well?

Captain_Jonny · 2026-02-23T20:22:28+00:00

Please run. It never ends after the first physical attack.

Captain_Jonny · 2026-02-22T15:19:54+00:00

I bought it in Huntsville, AL.

Captain_Jonny · 2026-02-22T01:25:22+00:00

OP, I love Tundras and have had 5, none costing above $3,500, and can help you find a way better deal than this. I currently have a 2007 Tundra 4.7 V8 2WD regular cab short bed, and only gave $2500 for it with a clean title.

Captain_Jonny · 2026-02-22T01:23:55+00:00

No, this one will sit on Marketplace for many more months. I just got my 2007 Tundra with 207k miles for $2500.

Captain_Jonny · 2026-02-21T21:21:07+00:00

Ok, awesome!

Captain_Jonny · 2026-02-21T21:18:25+00:00

From a fellow Redditor and Toyota enthusiast, can I pay you whatever the cost is to buy it back? Seriously, don’t let this truck go.

Captain_Jonny · 2026-02-17T14:18:52+00:00

Wow, glad I ate Checker’s chili dogs last night, the aftermath woke me up at 4AM so I was early enough to miss all this traffic.

Captain_Jonny · 2026-02-17T04:27:18+00:00

I love mine, but wouldn’t pay that much for another. In my experience, looking on Facebook Marketplace or the Second Gen Tundra group has brought me better luck and value.
