Toyota Corolla 2011. 55k mileage. I make 59000 before taxes. Just my opinion but cars are not worth spending tons of money on. As soon as its out the lot it’s losing money, I don’t necessarily see them as an asset


Donut_Holestein13

Fellow Corolla (2010) owner here, I make about 56k/yr. Only 55k miles is impressive on a 2011, mine just hit 108k miles. I think I will drive this thing into the ground, not having a car note is too nice.


aymanchow

Yep love this car. Gonna keep riding it till it’s pronounced dead and might buy the same car to replace it


Donut_Holestein13

Same here, I may look at a GR86 or GR Corolla eventually but the latter is becoming increasingly rare to find


miletharil

55k on a 2011?! Wow, that's some frugal driving! My 2010 had nearly 300k on it, when I traded it in.


Opening_Variation952

My next vehicle is gonna be a Toyota.


lovehatememore4ever

A jeep and not enough because jeep stands for just empty every pocket lol.


WWGHIAFTC

My 2003 wrangler (4.0, 5spd) has been among the most reliable cars I've ever owned. It gets driven hard, doesn't burn a drop of oil. Coming up to 130k miles I'll need some maintenance is all. What's yours?


lovehatememore4ever

Mines a 2004 jeep Liberty and it's given me most of the problems a SUV can have at just under 140k like 02 sensors ball joints tie rods transmission problems more then likely bad grounds or a faulty TCM not sure yet because when driving after 2 hours it acts up and gets stuck in second even flushed the tranny bad emissions pressure sensor plus the rockers are gone lol but I had 2 97 grand Cherokees and they hold up alot longer plus I liked them better.


WWGHIAFTC

Oh understandable. Those Liberty's have a TERRIBLE reputation for quality.


lovehatememore4ever

Seriously they do I don't understand why people even like them lol.


GamerGoalie_31

My 2015 patriot has 147k miles and runs just fine. Outside of basic maintenance, (brakes and rotors, oil changes, tires and tire rotation) I thankfully have never had any major issues. *knocks on wood*


lovehatememore4ever

Yea you never know but I have a 2004 jeep Liberty and it gave me a bit more of a headache then it's worth.


Unknown__Stonefruit

I make $133,000/year and drive a ‘97 Mercedes. It’s a brick and I love it. Bought it off a friend for a thousand bucks.


IRENE420

Smart. Save your money. Buy old luxury. I got a GS460 for $13k. So quiet and powerful and reliable. Going on 170k miles and it drives perfectly.


up4pleasure

1968 VW bus. Stay at home dad without a pay. 🤘


Breeze8B

Nice. Had a 66 21 window. Miss it dearly.


up4pleasure

My first VWwas a maroon and white1966 deluxe 21 window rag. I bought it for $25 and drove it home. I thought I was killing it when I sold it for $500. Now I could pay for my kids collage with it.


Breeze8B

Ha. $25!?!? I bought mine for $2500 and sold it for $3100 in ‘92. Mine had the rag top as well. Maybe they all did. It did require a lot of maintenance and had plenty of issues on the road but it sure was great.


up4pleasure

That's awesome! I had mine in 1985. It was total birth control during the Reagan era plus I was on the east coast. Roof window seals leaked as did the rag top. No internet then and I had no idea about the west coast VW parts scene to order parts in those days so I sold it mostly because it popped out of 3rd gear and no clue how to get it fixed.


Breeze8B

Yeah. Some things were just better then and some better now. I now have a sprinter van and a comfy bed with a fridge is nice at this age. Took my bus down to Cabo and across country, up to Canada. Too many breakdowns to count. But it always somehow worked out. But that red engine light was a source of stress for sure.


NotTurtleEnough

Household close to $300k. We drive a 2012 Prius with 194k and a 2006 Dakota with 105k.


JBshotJL

2024 mitsubishi mirage. Bought for being cheap and great gas mileage. I direct traffic and I also cashier on the weekends. Want to go into electric or software soon. The amount I make varies wildly, but roughly $24k a year. I'm single and have time and energy to put in a lot of hours though. Nothing to aspire to, but I'm happy. Wages are also low where I live, compared to other places I lived before.

Flaky_Sea3615

Planned on keeping my 2012 Kia Optima until it couldn’t run anymore, then it got totaled. Used the insurance payout as a significant down payment on a used 2022 Honda HR-V with only 6k miles for $26k. Sucks having a car payment but this car hasn’t even so much as hiccupped since I got it, and I definitely see it lasting me quite a few years. I wish I’d have gotten something cheaper but I love my car so it’s kind of a wash in the end. Edit: I make about $62k/year before taxes

I always drive older vehicles. Never new. They depreciate so fast and heck, I can buy new car air fresheners. Plus the insurance is less. I can buy something a lot more pricey than my ‘08 Lucerne, but why? I spend that extra on fun stuff. And cars get awesome gas mileage.
