South Mississippi. It’s not even hard yo. I got a 1995 GMC truck for you for like $400, it just needs new keys, a new battery, and maybe some gasoline.
I guarantee you can go on Craigslist for your area right now and find cars that run for like $1k or less.
Probably all hoopdie ass shitboxes, but wait a couple months and keep an eye and you’ll find something that runs from the 2000s that’s not a total piece of shit for like $3k, with around 300-350k miles.
Are they great? No. Cheap as hell to insure? Yes. Cost the same price as 5 months of a car payment, and last for years with basic maintenance costs and worse gas mileage? Very likely yes.
Last year, I paid around $5k for my car. It runs well, needs work (that I can do myself), but is overall in good shape. I could have gotten a better deal on it, had I had cash on hand.
Used car? $3000
New car? Sell three children and keep a monthly payment plan.
Where are you finding a used car for $3000 that’s running?

Used cars in my area START at $10k. I think you’re bullshitting.

Some people don’t have the time and money to drop $1,000 on a car that may not run for long and look for another car that’s more affordable.
I’m just saying it’s really expensive to be poor.

Admittedly I live in a high cost of living area, but yeah most Americans arent going to have $5k on hand.
Can everyone quit giving me shit?
I got a 1995 GMC Sonoma for sale right now, only asking $400
Yeah it needs a little work, it needs a new battery and new key+ignition lock.
Fuck, where the fuck you people getting used vehicles for $10K?
People will quit giving you shit when you stop floundering around and wondering why people would buy a new car instead of a used car.
Not THAT many people live in bumfuck Mississippi where things are dirt cheap out of your backyard.
It only needs about $200 repairs, dunno where the hell you folks keep pulling $1000 out of your collective asses
You gonna install all that for free?
Batteries alone start at $200.
You’re in south Mississippi. Enough said, dude. That’s why everything is cheap and you’re trying to sell a non-running car for $400.
I didn’t say the truck doesn’t run, it absolutely does.
It just needs a new battery and such as I said.
I dunno, I just wanna sell the truck before someone steals it.
Where can you find a used car for $3k?
Craigslist. Local auction. Random crap for sale at the curb in neighborhoods.
