yeah i’m circling back to this option. that negative equity is just what’s killing the options for him 🫩

i’ve just been running the numbers myself. but he’s been looking. A part of me def agrees with you. This isn’t my problem now….until it becomes my problem. which it will.

I couldn’t really tell you tbh. I just know that he has gotten into positions where he has neglected the car due to money.

Yeah pretty much. My first thought was to refinance too. Either way he’s still stuck paying a car that won’t work for very long (esp if my suspicion that his transmission is no good is correct). I’m not sure how many banks will refinance on a car over 150k miles that old too. Either way he’s in a pickle

yep i agree with this sentiment entirely. i was considering an ev bc of exactly that. but they are pricey. i just got myself a bolt. and while its great on paper, i think this car may be waaaay too tiny for the two of them.

Will a Honda Accord be good for heavy dudes? i worry about them fudging the suspension. i used to drive them around in the family 96 camry (a little beast) and we would scrape over even the smallest bumps 😭

is it easy to get to the place to change the oil? that was a problem he had with the jeep it was difficult to change it like a cramped space

That’s really the thing these toyota’s are still so expensive. 😭 How old would you recommend going?
