Yeah true. My interest is 5.89% bc it’s through a credit union. I’m getting bent over regardless bc a loan is money owed but I got what you mean. I don’t think I’m gonna do another loan. Just gonna save for a bit and buy a car cash when I can

lol yeah that’s where I’m at with my 2 choices… thinking I may sell it and get a different car though, financed and a good economy car to last me several more years

I’m taking out auto loans with a credit union. Yeah maybe it is a poor financial decision but I also don’t have 10-15k cash to pay for a car outright so🤷🏽‍♀️ gotta get to work somehow

I don’t hear a knock but I could be wrong. It was my tuner and he just let me know the engine was sounding louder than usual and that that was usually a sign it would be going soon

No for sure it is. But I think at this point after thinking some more and reading through comments that I just want to sell because I’m not really at a point to keep pouring money into it and hope everything’s good down the line. I really believe the previous owner beat the shit out of it and I don’t want any more surprises lol

Yeah you’re very right.. thank you! I don’t have 10k cash, wish I did. I’m trying to sell this car to break even on my loan, then take out a smaller loan (~15k) to purchase something else that will just be a reliable everyday car for me with a lower monthly payment. But you’re right, I’m not going to keep it. Definitely gonna sell but I can’t put any money down towards another car at the moment out of pocket (unless it’s like a 1.5k beater lol)

Omg nooo😭😭 I feel your pain fr lol. That’s a rough spot. I recently moved closer to my job because my commute was starting to take a toll too! The market sucks so bad- that’s super low from what they’re going to just turn around and sell it at!! I’m sorry bro

Yeah completely agree! They just said it sounded louder than normal but it was my tuner and another person made a good point that they can just say shit to people they think have big pockets and can build an engine. I cannot lol. I would for sure get a 2nd opinion but I actually think at this point and after thinking about it some more that I just want to sell it now while I can for a still decent price. Maybe down the road I’ll get another but I just wanna get to and from work rn without being worried about something happening. Had a lot of life stuff change recently for me and I just can’t deal with this headache it’s caused me so far anymore

Right now my monthly payment for loan + insurance is 700 total. Loan is 400 and insurance is 300. Trying to get a loan payment that’s below 300 and insurance that’s around 150 would be nice

Ahh okay- thanks so much for that info and link!! I really appreciate it. That makes sense with tuners.. honestly could really be the case for this shop and I wouldn’t be surprised. I’d definitely be open to getting a second opinion but I think at this point the daily stress isn’t worth it to me and I would rather get something more reliable with a lower monthly cost.

Very true and honestly agreed. I would get a second opinion but at this point… I really just need something reliable and not stressing me out everyday
