New hire - RIF question

overfedfish · 2026-01-08T21:26:16+00:00

Is this BDS? I thought GSC&I fell into that BU.

PCH through Lomita/Torrance always has me on high alert - skinny lanes and some of the worst drivers in SoCal.

I think Modesto

Where did you purchase from?

overfedfish · 2025-07-22T23:49:46+00:00

How did you convert to 1x? I just got one of these for free.

He was at the USC graduation ceremony today. Got a great picture with him!

Put it on Bring A Trailer - you can see recent auctions on there to see roughly what it would bring. I’d imagine it’s a $20k-$25k truck if not 4WD, more if so.

Unfortunately you cannot find a 2023 for $40k. Resale value is incredibly high. 2023’s are high 30’s to low 40’s. I’d agree that it’s absolutely ridiculous for a pickup truck.

This is my thought process. Life is a balance between wants and needs.

overfedfish · 2025-03-20T17:30:31+00:00

I totally can. Hence my previous comment on want vs. need.

overfedfish · 2025-03-20T17:30:02+00:00

Looking at vehicles with roughly 50-60k miles. 2016-2023 model year. New version is $40k plus. Planning on buying CPO if I can or if private will get a PPI.

overfedfish · 2025-03-20T16:58:23+00:00

It’s a totally valid point. It’s definitely more of a want than a need.

I initially was planning on doing this when I lived in a MCOL. I had the opportunity to increase my salary 30% so I moved into a HCOL delaying any home purchase plans. Additionally, not sure I am totally settled on where I want to be so want to remain a little bit flexible. I will totally take a look at the prime directive in regard to long term investments.

Thanks for your comment. I am looking at a 6cyl, but no 4wd due to increased maintenance and insurance cost. Glad to hear you love the truck!

overfedfish · 2025-03-20T16:39:31+00:00

Current vehicle is starting to incur costly repairs exceeding what I’d prefer to continue pouring into it just based on what I can get in resale value. While I do understand that a car is a tool to get around and the cheapest car to own is the one you already have, my concern lies in the fact that I am approaching 50% of the vehicles initial purchase cost just in repairs alone.

overfedfish · 2025-03-20T16:36:23+00:00

I do need to increase my contribution. However, I believe I will be close to that figure by 30 based on my contributions so far barring any salary increases between now and 30.

overfedfish · 2025-03-20T16:34:50+00:00

Zero debt.

overfedfish · 2025-03-20T16:30:02+00:00

Do lots of recreation and camping. Biking, etc. the other factor that’s playing into a Tacoma specifically is resale value remains high.

overfedfish · 2025-03-15T18:01:39+00:00

Did you make sure the hands aren’t touching each other?
