I'm happy to say I'm 26, my Datsun 280ZX has 383,000 miles on it, and I'm about to graduate college with zero debt to my name
When your $1000 car needs a $4000 transmission replacement. This is my current tipping point.
1. When repair cost is more than a car is worth. or 2. Safety becomes a factor or 3. When you start asking yourself will my car make it from point A to point B
200k on a honda is just hitting puberty
I would replace a car when it becomes too unreliable to drive. I can't afford to lose my job because my car keeps breaking down.
I bought a brand new 2020 Truck, and I could hear Dave Ramsey yelling at me while signing the paper work.
Dave needs Scotty kilmer with him when it comes to cars
Dave, he stole your line.
He's talking about moving from a Honda to a Subaru?!... And he's worried about repair costs on the Honda?
"gas is so cheap right now." this aged poorly
“cheap gas”
This is SOLID advice. Thank you for posting this for free. You have no idea how much you're helping people
yeah that “Prius” thing ain’t a joke right now Dave😭
Honestly, the main issue is reliably and the value of my time. As my car hit 10 years this past year, it kept breaking once a month or more from April to September. The A/C kept dying followed soon by engine idle failure. I think I spent $2k on repairs, but the time was the real issue. It was in the shop for about half that time with me driving my old truck to work. If I didn’t have a truck, the rental costs would have been terrible. So much weekend time was burnt waiting for the shuttle to and from the car repair place. I broke down, cleaned out the car, said my goodbyes and bought a new base model car cash. On paper it was a terrible financial decision, but my mental health has greatly improved knowing I have a reliable vehicle again.
Dave's never had a dodge caravan. repairs will eat you alive. my cost per mile was through the roof on a $10k paid off caravan. toyota sienna man, that's the way to go
Dave is absolutely correct. It is really never worth getting rid of car that's paid for unless it needs significant engine repair work. I have 2003 volkswagen passat and few years ago it seemed like things were breaking down with it. But when I look back those repairs were about $800 for year (two years in row) but if I got new car with monthly payments of $400 - those repairs would only amount to two months of new car payments. Drive that car until you can no longer even look at it....then its time.
We are going on our second year with our 2005 Camery. We fixed some small rust spots changed the fluids replaced a head gasket and it has over 424.000 miles on it. So far so good. 😊
Honda with 183,000? Man, you can still ride it to 500,000! Dude those are awesome vehicles. Hondas last a lifetime. I still see people today driving Toyotas and Hondas from the 90s. Crazy reliability.
2006 Civic with 342k miles. I expect to hit 400k. Insurance paid me more for the dents in it than I paid for the car in 2010. Winning.
I drive a 30 year old Chevrolet Caprice Wagon! I bought it for $2,000, 11 years ago.
