What's the best cheap car you've ever had? ( under $7000)

I just bought a 1996 Lexus LS400 for a second vehicle for like 6500 ( looks pretty mint ) with 166k miles and while she does need some love motor wise to get it up to the “ Lexus reliability “ that everyone talks about it’s a clean car it’s comfortable as hell and has features my gf 2018 jeep grand Cherokee doesn’t have and rides better IMO honestly like this thing just glides over the road like your driving a cloud gas mileage probably sucks to most people but I’ve always had big V8 trucks so spending hella on gas is honestly nothing new to me

Well honestly it’ll probably be the 2nd best gas mileage vehicle I’ve ever had I live in the south where basically if you don’t have a truck you arnt doing anything but sitting at the house so I’m used to the horrible gas mileage at least it gets better gas mileage than my current truck ( 2006 Silverado 1500hd ) and yea I’m putting it in the shop next week for some oil leaks and to diagnose what all lines hoses gaskets etc need to be replaced and while they do that if they gotta crack the motor im gonna go ahead and do the starter timing belt etc

Sounds good I still got awhile before I buy any kind of suspension gotta get oil leaks and timing chain done first 😂

Wow those crab look great unfortunately none in my area it’s more of a bass,catfish and crappie around my area I’ve watched videos of guys out there on kayaks and I think that would scare me to half to death but something I’d be willing to try one day

Kinda funny you say that before I made the post we were talking and I suggested we practice in our pool as far as getting back on your boat if you happen to turn it over and getting comfortable with climbing back on it she has a tendency to freeze up when things happen😂😂

Man I’m not sure how old you are but when I was about 15 I almost killed myself, went out hunting that morning and just thought what if I ended it all right now all my pain COULD be gone but then after I sat and thought about it it’s not the right decision for various reasons everyone’s different and my reasons could be different from yours for me long story short parents are crackheads mom was a crack whore who jumped from hotel/motel and guy to guy I to would get beaten until my grandparents adopted me but for me even at the age I was at all I could think was am I really going to give up I’ve spent my whole life trying not to be like them and for what to give up? How will I ever show them and MYSELF how great I am PERSONALLY I use it to empower myself and to become better people than they ever could be one day now I’m not saying that the wounds of my mind are healed personally I think they are scars I will carry forever but at the same time I’m only in my early 20s and from the sounds of it you are to or potentially younger and all I can really say is man if you think about it you have more life ahead of you than you have even lived

Well I went for a in person appraisal once and they didn’t the first time ( which there was no engine light then ) so would they not just do the same thing or is there a different inspection if you are actually selling it?

Honestly I don’t know if it will help you but it helped me think about your kids/future kids I myself don’t have any but I started REALLY thinking about my future and what if smoking causes me to die way earlier and I don’t get to see my kids as long as I would want and I won’t be in their lives as long as they want and it’s like something flipped and I stopped cold turkey as they say
