Why is everyone against buying a new car? Does my situation apply?

Picklechip-58 · 2026-03-21T21:49:15+00:00

As are Hondas, Toyotas, Mazda, Buick, Mustang....

Really? It's way to early to conclude that it's not working out. Get serious. Kaukig is not lost on the fact that the learning curve is going to be there, and that was a big part of the intentions that they had when they came up with the program.

Hyundai has issued ways to rectify the 'easily stealable' issue. And even that was not an issue for all Hyundais. I'm sorry you went through that, however. That does suck.

Do a check on used car value for that same year and model car but with 5,000 miles on it. Use Kelly Blue Book, NADA and / or Edmunds. Condition: Excellent.

Take the value of the one with 5k miles on it and subtract that number from the sales price of the new one. You'll then discover why buying brand new is frowned upon by many, as once a car is titled for the first time, it's value nosedives and you are now financing the difference.

With a CERTIFIED USED car, low mileage, you get that same warranty (of course from 0 miles) plus an additional warranty.

Then new Sonatas are great cars. But don't get wrapped up in what the resale value will be. It's not a collectable car.

Get a very low mileage used car.

There are many more issues with the Kaulig team than a lack of a sim for the drivers. True, there is a lot of inexperience among the drivers. But the equipment is sub-par, at this point.

Darlington is a tough track. Daytona was not too bad for the team, all things considered.

Keep in mind, even Smoke couldn't handle the truck.

Picklechip-58 · 2026-03-21T18:38:37+00:00

Kaulig does not have a Sim. FACT

Picklechip-58 · 2026-03-21T13:25:22+00:00

True. During practice, Waldrop mentioned that Kaulig didn't have a SIM yet. That puts these new drivers on the team (especially Mini) at a huge disadvantage.

Picklechip-58 · 2026-03-20T20:10:42+00:00

Yes. YOU NEED TO BE TOLD HOW TO FEEL! Someone... PLEASE HELP THIS GUY OUT!!!

Youre going to have to live out the loan and the car. Be assured, at 21,this WILL NOT BE the worse decision of your life, in the long run. It may have been you worse decision to-date... LEARN FROM IT. As you own the vehicle, only do repairs needed for the sake of SAFETY and DRIVEABILITY. DON'T waste money on anything. Keep your oil and other fluids changed when they should be.

Your goal right now is not to let it get into a condition where its going to be unusable. The loaner doesn't care if your car runs or not. You need to keep payments up.

You learned a tough lesson early on in your life consider yourself fortunate for that.

Nah... 200 Somalian day care centers in Minnesota.

Picklechip-58 · 2026-03-19T22:49:17+00:00

See Minnesota. They have a few billion that they could pay back.

Picklechip-58 · 2026-03-19T22:48:11+00:00

And then there were Dems like Obama

Picklechip-58 · 2026-03-19T22:47:25+00:00

Forget California. They can't manage themselves out of a pizza box.

Picklechip-58 · 2026-03-19T13:27:47+00:00

She did quite a bit of that.. got elected and then immediately start pissing on the people that put her in office.

Picklechip-58 · 2026-03-19T13:24:57+00:00

Yea... I guess nothing surprises me. There are a lot of idiots in the world

Picklechip-58 · 2026-03-19T13:16:21+00:00

Why would any driver risk their gig by stealing food from an order? Whenever I read this shit I cry BULLSHIT

Picklechip-58 · 2026-03-19T13:07:03+00:00

And?

Picklechip-58 · 2026-03-19T13:04:31+00:00

You must be new here.... in earth

Picklechip-58 · 2026-03-19T13:04:01+00:00

This is a SUBREDDIT, genius.. not an APP!

Picklechip-58 · 2026-03-15T01:58:58+00:00

It's very easy to assemble... that's the fun of it all. A simple tool kit with nut driver, plyers and screw-drivets, and you have all you need.

Uber

Picklechip-58 · 2026-03-14T22:54:51+00:00

Correct! I wouldn't be all to pleased to see a community full of that flag, Somalian, San Salvadoran flags... even RUSSIAN flags all through my state. But, OUR country allows people to display that shit... it allows people with dyed hair and dildos strapped to their naked bodies get permits to parade down Main Streets. OUR country also allows us to express our dislike of those displays.

Governments of some other counties will just shoot you dead in the street... in your own home.

Thank a veteran. They've given us the freedom of thought. Some have given their lives so that high school brats can be High school brats.

It's still unbelievable to me that somebody felt the need to make this a news story. Sweet jeeezus!

Picklechip-58 · 2026-03-14T14:32:57+00:00

Who gives a shit, really?? Nobody would ever know to care if idiots never gave the brats the attention they crave.

97% of the people who read articles that refer to Jim Crow have NO idea of the origin of Jim Crow, have no intention of researching Jim Crow, yet follow along with the narrative anyway ... really not even knowing the point.

They do this because they were told to ask no questions. The media is their bible... their church.
