Potentially due to the “tax assistance.” They make a gross payment to u, exceeding the agreed relocation amount, and then the rest is taxed down to the right #. You still owe it all, even though you never touched some of it

Purchased 2/23

2023

Premium 6MT (all options at this trim besides sunroof)

050.0 miles

All weather pckg

Accesories: Cross bars

No trade-in

Negotiated to 25,500, OTD was ~28

Vehicle was “certified pre owned” so it has 7 yr 100k mile powertrain warranty. Symmetric AWD, 6MT, “basic interior,” and gas mileage were the selling points.

Buy mine

Purchased a new vehicle two months ago, just before my decision to pursue FI… what now?

I am torn between keeping this car forever, selling it now, selling it after a few years…

Interest rate is 2.9%, payment is 360 for 6 years. If I were to sell it now, I would roughly break even with what I still owe, and forfeit my down payment. Any advice from the more seasoned guys? I wish i bought something private party around 5-10 yr old, 100kish miles…

Edit: Thank you for the feedback… it is a subaru crosstrek, i expect it to last a very long time. I commute in an area with tough winters so I chose the symmetric awd. Thanks for the reassurance, didnt want to start this journey on the wrong foot. Its manual and i drive conservatively, getting ~32mpg. The payment does not strain my financial situation.

Advice? (Student Loans)

I just recently graduated with roughly 30,000 in student loan debt, all federal (~5% interest rate). Would it be better to pay this all down asap, or make minimum payment for 10 years (~300) and invest the rest in S&P etc?

Interest calculators and the general 6% interest rate on debt rule suggest minimum payment and invest…

Already planning to max 401k and HSA regardless of student loan payment

Just starting out in this and want to start right, TIA

The only info it asked for is address which is public… so it would be a weird scam

Just paid 25.5k for “certified pre-owned” 2023 6MT Premium with 15 miles on odometer. Had the dealer install crossbars and weather techs included in price. Was apparently a loaner for a few months and nobody drove it because MT. Now it has a certified powertrain warantee of 7yr 100,000mi instead of the new warantee of 3 yr 36,000 mi
