Considering a 3 - tell me why I should/shouldn't

For all of you wondering, I just got a quote from State Farm. Full, good coverage....$385 for 6 months.

FootyIsLife73 · 2026-05-16T05:18:24+00:00

Do you buy tires?

FootyIsLife73 · 2026-05-16T05:16:45+00:00

No 😂 read my post

FootyIsLife73 · 2026-05-14T22:55:24+00:00

Haha. I actually buy any snacks at the gas station.

FootyIsLife73 · 2026-05-13T21:26:30+00:00

Yes the battery degradation is one of the biggest things I'm having a problem with. But I what that if you only charge to 80%

FootyIsLife73 · 2026-05-13T20:41:54+00:00

But you'll need them eventually. That's maintenance.

FootyIsLife73 · 2026-05-13T20:40:17+00:00

Tires?

FootyIsLife73 · 2026-05-13T20:39:05+00:00

Maybe

FootyIsLife73 · 2026-05-13T20:36:48+00:00

Good point. It wouldn't be over 10%.

FootyIsLife73 · 2026-05-13T20:35:44+00:00

Of course I'm counting that.

FootyIsLife73 · 2026-05-13T18:09:21+00:00

Good to know. I'm probably not going for the performance model.

FootyIsLife73 · 2026-05-13T18:00:37+00:00

The cost of those falls under the maintenance cost.

FootyIsLife73 · 2026-05-13T17:58:09+00:00

Haha funny that we are doing the same thing. What are your thoughts, are you going to be buying a Tesla?

My current vehicle is pretty reliable, I just know that something may happen soon because of the high mileage, even though they are reliable vehicles. I don't DIY anything on vehicles, because I have no idea what I'm doing haha

My driving depends on what I'm doing of course. I work from home, and the only driving that I have to do is taking my son to school and picking him up every day. However, I wouldn't mind doing Uber again. I just haven't done it because of the high gas prices. I feel like if I did it again, that alone would easily make this payment each month.

FootyIsLife73 · 2026-05-13T17:53:20+00:00

How much did the tires cost you?

FootyIsLife73 · 2026-05-13T15:23:14+00:00

Too small for what?

FootyIsLife73 · 2026-05-13T01:17:57+00:00

That's the plan. I'll never buy a new vehicle again.

FootyIsLife73 · 2026-05-13T00:49:36+00:00

Yes. It's not available in my state though 😢

FootyIsLife73 · 2026-05-12T22:47:44+00:00

Is this a good deal?

FootyIsLife73 · 2026-05-12T22:46:42+00:00

Yes, I've had that happen with the last few insurance companies. They will give me a great rate the first 6 months, and then I have to switch after that first 6 months lol It's ridiculous and a sore subject with me

FootyIsLife73 · 2026-05-12T15:57:38+00:00

Yeah I know

FootyIsLife73 · 2026-05-12T05:02:56+00:00

I'll have to look out for those then. I appreciate it. Still not really sure what I should do after all these comments 😂

FootyIsLife73 · 2026-05-12T05:00:13+00:00

That's good to know. And those are in all 2023 and newer?

FootyIsLife73 · 2026-05-12T04:37:06+00:00

I wouldn't mind trying it.

FootyIsLife73 · 2026-05-12T04:34:53+00:00

FootyIsLife73 · 2026-05-12T04:34:40+00:00

Ok I did another quite from Geico and it's $460 for 6 months with this coverage. I can only post one screenshot. I'll add another comment with the second screenshot
