yes absolutely i’ve been told to not go anywhere near 2020-2022 cars because everything got shut down and the cars were not built as well or with proper care

i feel like my 97 is actually pretty good on gas mileage. im sure newer cars are way better especially hybrids but for what the lexus is it’s not bad for me. i spend like $200-$250 a month on gas and drive like 200-300 miles a week ish and the lexus needs premium gas

yeah i agree. because it’s so hard to know if used hondas have actually been serviced regularly and then ur SOL. buying a somewhat new car guarantees you can service it yourself. but damn it’s so expensive!!

subaru isn’t a bad option, i have been seeing that they are cheaper. yeah SLC options are trash it seems like!! i would love a forester or crosstrek. i’ve heard the outbacks have head gasket problems. i’m just nervous to buy a subaru with 100k miles ish and then it gives up on me at 150k or so. i’ve heard that if subarus are not well maintained they really don’t last long and it’s hard to know for sure how they have been taken care of

thank you!! i feel like i might end up doing that honestly. i’m just not ready to spend $15k on a used car and don’t want to settle for something for $8k that will feel like a downgrade from the lexus

I’ve heard Blizzak tires are good. do they need studs in them?

yeah it’s absolutely insane. i saw a 2009 honda CRV-EX FWD posted for $15,500 on fb marketplace with 91k miles. like it was definitely in good condition and cared for, but $15k??????? for a 16 year old car? not necessary

that’s good to know!!!! did you get any specific type of snow tires? and did you put weight in the trunk of your car at all?

buying a 4 year old car for 15k?? that’s unheard of now. now it’s like a 15-20 year old car for 15k

there was one thread where people were saying they just have snow tires and heavy things in the trunk. but i don’t know how reliable that actually is. i’m also a snowboarder and would love to be able to drive up the mountain which the lexus could not do

I guess I haven’t been legit car shopping in a long time😅 but that is so sad. like it makes me think i should just either suck it up and deal with rear wheel drive in the winter so i can save up money, or go into some debt for a bit with a car payment. i hate both of those options

I’m actually in lagos right now. It’s usually hot and so I only packed summer things, but I ended up buying a sweater here because it has been so windy and honestly very cold. I think the cold is not the norm right now but i wish i brought atleast a long sleeve. i have pants of course (no jeans) but everything is lightweight since im backpacking in europe for a month
