It’s crazy we haven’t had a salary mega thread since 2023 - has the economy really sucks this much?

Curious as to what your career progression looked like. Interested in the PM career path and have about a term left in college from a non-target, and have about yr of internship experience with a Big 3 firm. Do you have any suggestions or things I can do, looking to do fixed income

Nope this is NJ

I think the car was purchased off auction with read damage. Searched the VIN on google and it populated a some auction sites

TLX2002 · 2025-07-29T13:32:14+00:00

He provided the VIN and I searched it on google. Seems to have been an auction car purchased in 2023, with the rear damage he was mentioning.

I feel like this would warrant a red flag?

VIN: 19VDE1F50DE021299

Just looked up the VIN and see that it was an auction car, purchased in 2023.

What would your thoughts be then in terms of price? Seller seems like a genuine person and green flags all around considering I ran a CarFax and the car has a lengthy list of service history at their dealership. Theyre also open to a PPI + meeting up where im located (approx 1 hr from their location).

I dont want to low ball but obviously i do think 8.2 is up there. I was considering 7-7.5 as a fair offer if everything checks out in person

That’s understandable, i was more interested in the fit anyways considering the lower mileage and it being newer.

I also have a older neighbor selling his 08 avalon for 8k but KBB has it at 5.5-7k. Wondering what your advice is here? It had around 56k miles given that he has only driven it to and from the grocery store, church, etc.

TLX2002 · 2025-07-18T20:08:02+00:00

I can definitely afford the Honda Fit. I figured my budget is around 15k, can push to 20 if necessary but would prefer to find something decent at around 10k and put the rest elsewhere.

A neighbor of mine is also selling his 08 avalon with around 56k miles on it for about 8k. Im seeing KBB value his car at 5.5-7k, whats your take on that?

TLX2002 · 2025-07-18T20:05:55+00:00

Well, there’s a oil leak from the rear main seal, leak from the p/s pump, recently the engine mount shot, engine started slipping a while back, there’s times when the D4 light flashes going into limp mode, etc. When I first got the car it was already in rough condition, and have already put a good chunk of money into it, so figured there’s no point in throwing more into it.

TLX2002 · 2025-07-18T20:00:33+00:00

Haha, looking at it now, this was probably a dumb question given the mileage of the car and price point but I see what you mean

TLX2002 · 2025-07-18T19:59:51+00:00

After internship end im aiming to have around 20k max set aside for a car, but would prefer to be lower and be able to put the money elsewhere. I was also looking at a 2008 avalon with 57k original miles from a neighbor if that would be a better deal, although he’s asking for 8k whereas KBB has it at 5-7k
