        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.

              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.

            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.

            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.

                  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.
