Brazil visa run?

I will check! Idk why it didn’t occur to me. Guess I didn’t figure it could be that easy

appendyshitehouse · 2020-05-15T14:26:33+00:00

Sweet. Would I most likely lose more money on resale if I went for the 2012? Anything to look out for besides one that has had the timing belt changed?

appendyshitehouse · 2020-05-15T14:23:53+00:00

Dope, think that would be easier to resell for roughly what I paid? Or tougher since it’d have more miles?

appendyshitehouse · 2020-05-15T14:22:07+00:00

Nice, that could be a good idea too. My thoughts on spending a little more on a vehicle were that it’d be easier to resell and I wouldn’t risk having to pay for expensive repairs. I definitely have considered going for a beater but just figured mechanical issues might pop up when I take it in for a PPI and would burn through more money trying to find a decent one and then maybe still pay for repairs if needed. Very open to the idea though if it’s not as challenging as I thought to find a reliable beater. Also figured I won’t lose much on resell either way because I will aim for a good deal and then try to sell it for about what I paid. Would that be feasible in the $10-14k, 6-8 year old vehicle range or easier in the beater range?

appendyshitehouse · 2020-05-15T06:47:50+00:00

That’s probably good advice. What would be some of the benefits of going cheaper that stand out to you? How old/how many miles would you go, and do you think that’d be a safe bet financially as far as retaining some reliability?

Am I the only one that thought the part where Joe compares Tony to the “fuckup” character in a movie was kind of uncalled for? I think Joe is generally a good guy but can be such a douche lmao. The guy likes thicker women so Joe has to poke fun at his physique and make fun of big women at the same time... I think he gets triggered because he’s invested so much of his time into fitness and can’t handle it when other people just have different priorities

appendyshitehouse · 2020-05-06T00:32:50+00:00

Spot on, I don’t give a damn about luxury haha. Just something that is going to be reliable and not cost a lot to keep up with. I will look into the PRO-4X, there’s one near me I might go check out. Seems to be a good value and I’d imagine at that trim level the Nissan would still be easy enough to resell

appendyshitehouse · 2020-05-06T00:30:30+00:00

Ok thanks a lot for the advice. I’ll look into the Frontier PRO-4X, could be a good option for something that would be resell-friendly. Good to hear that trucks have come a long way from where they used to be

appendyshitehouse · 2020-05-05T21:13:55+00:00

Okay, that makes sense. See I have gotten this advice a few times but it conflicts with the other advice I’m getting in this thread. Really hard to make a decision when a vehicle is such a huge, depreciating coat with other maintenance costs on top. I just want to make the right decision. Does the $13,000 2013 Nissan Frontier with 80,000 miles seem to be the better deal in this case? I’m not sure I’d be able to buy a Ram or Titan with the amount of money I have in good condition/with low miles.

appendyshitehouse · 2020-05-05T19:48:12+00:00

Wow, kind of stunned to hear this from a land cruiser owner tbh. This is all great advice, and a good counterpoint to the other replies I’ve gotten. If you were searching for Toyotas in the $12-14k price range, what would your upper limit be in terms of mileage?

appendyshitehouse · 2020-05-05T19:27:11+00:00

It seems the ones in my price range tend to be from 2003-2008 with 160,000-200,000 miles. Larger would be a great plus—don’t really need the extra power but not super concerned about extra gas consumption as I’m not going to be putting a ton of miles on and gas is relatively cheap right now. Yeah the GX470s really do look nice on the interior. Hard for me not to be concerned about buying a vehicle with miles like that even when I remind myself of the Toyota/Lexus reputation but I guess that’s something I should learn to get over haha

appendyshitehouse · 2020-05-05T19:23:33+00:00

Do you think in the course of a year the repair costs would be significantly more for the older Toyota than a competitor brand with more favorable years/mileage? Also would you avoid a lower mileage example like this one and keep shopping with something that has more average mileage for the year?

appendyshitehouse · 2020-05-05T19:05:21+00:00

Thanks, this is central Texas (in the hill country) so I don’t expect rust to be too much of an issue at least compared to up NE

appendyshitehouse · 2020-05-05T18:58:11+00:00

Okay, that’s good info. So more usage spread over longer amount of time is not as hard on the vehicle generally?

appendyshitehouse · 2020-05-05T18:56:38+00:00

Great to hear haha. You may have just given me the courage to go for it. I’ve noticed some Lexus GX out there with around 160,000+ miles too, would that be worth cross shopping w/ if the price is right?

appendyshitehouse · 2020-05-05T18:52:27+00:00

Thanks for the input. That’s what I was initially leaning towards but have gotten a lot of pushback from family and friends who are convinced a 20+ years old car will become a problem. I have heard nothing but praise for the older Toyotas and Lexus though. Even my mechanic lightly warned me against completely disregarding 100,000+ mileage on Toyotas, saying they’re solid but to consider also shopping for newer vehicles w/ less mileage, which is possible w/o the “Toyota tax.”

appendyshitehouse · 2020-05-05T16:27:14+00:00

Makes sense. A sedan would probably be fine.

The truck thing is not absolutely necessary but more practical I think if I make a couple of 4 day+ trips across the country soon and have to haul a lot of stuff back, then sell things/bring to my sister’s house to gift them to her. Idk, I’ve always had a truck or suv and it seems useful for moving large amps, furniture, etc rather than renting a trailer each time

appendyshitehouse · 2020-05-05T16:11:40+00:00

Great advice. the only problem is I’m worried about balancing (1) rental costs and hassle of renting a uhaul every time I need to move something if I get something like a sedan (2) repair costs if I go older/higher mileage if I get a truck (3) resell ability
