  • Hey Guys,
    In this video I talk about how to buy a car, namely for younger members of the service. The solution to a tight budget is simple: purchase a used car. In this video I explain this and how/where to look for a good deal on cheap used car.

    Missing one thing in particular. This is why you also refinance your vehicle when you can and look at switching insurance to lower your payments over the years. You also do want to have recurring payments to build up credit and even having revolving credit boosts your credit score up. Overall for those who have minimal knowledge on the finance side of cars it’s great advice but later on this will also help. Just saying 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    If you can't afford to buy it in cash outright you probably can't really afford it. Good video.

    I’m a civvy but great vid man, one thing i woulda mentioned though is to stay away from german cars, you’re gonna see a lot of BMW 3 series in that price range and people get enamored by those cars for some reason not knowing how expensive maintenance and repairs can be.

      Thanks for reaching out! I recommend checking Facebook marketplace and just putting in a max price of $5k. As long as it drives fine/shifts well, doesn’t have any check engine lights on (go buy a code scanner at like auto zone to check this, it’s well worth it), has a clean title, is relatively rust-free on the undercarriage (look for rust around wheel wells and the outskirts or under it as best as possible) and has a clean carfax report (pay the $30 for the carfax, this could save you from buying a dud cause it shows the history) then you should be all set. The cheap cars may not b pretty (it won’t b a cool lookin car prob) but they get you from point a to point b and allow you to save money so one day you can buy your dream car if you so desire. Save the money to invest and grow tho, don’t buy that mustang or camaro now, wait and invest so down the line you can buy 3 of them if you do desire!

    As a newly-commissioned Ensign in flight school back in 1981, I opted for the Porsche 911 (Ensign Mobile). Your choice shows better judgement, forethought, responsibility and something that I would encourage my son to do. Good move Lt.! Semper Fidelis

    This doesnt work in the shit state of Maryland. They require a “safety inspection” where they will flag your suspension or power steering as a fail, forcing you to repair it then bring it back to the same fuckers to reinspect for profit . This makes buying used cars off Facebook marketplace a hassle because half those cars are going to fail due to them being worth sub 5k. I bought a working car for 5k and the inspection failed me 3k worth of repairs. I had no choice but to pay simply because I need to get to fucking work and I already spent enough money and time just testing the car.
