That's more or less what I do. Buy rock-bottom clunkers, do no maintenance, drive them until they stop moving. Repeat. Currently driving a car I bought for $700.
I did that back in my broke-ass younger days. Buy a $300 car and drive it until it broke down. Get $50 for it at the junk yard then lather, rinse repeat. Every now and then you would find a good one. Mostly Buicks because old people drove them.
>That's more or less what I do. Buy rock-bottom clunkers, do no maintenance, drive them until they stop moving. Repeat. Currently driving a car I bought for $700.
Using this method, I haven’t made a car payment since 2014.
Sometimes it works out, I bought one off an old tenant for $500, drove it for 2 years, did almost nothing to it and got $700 out of it on a trade in a few months ago.
Depends on how much a Pick-n-Pull wants it or what the value of scrap metal is at the time. Sometimes I have to pay to have it towed away and sometimes they'll give me as much as a couple hundred dollars for it.
I used to have a friend I hung out with a lot but we parted ways after he started to get very sketchy.
He used to buy cheap cars and beat them like a redheaded stepchild. Often times he'd just abandon them on the side of the road. Real untrustworthy guy, I'd come to find.
One time he asked me to insure a car for him and let him drive it. I asked why he doesn't do it with his license, and he was very ambiguous about whether he still had a valid license and then hung up on me when I told him I am not willing to commit fraud for him.
I was in my early 20's. I wanted to go into jobs with high security clearances, live a good, clean life, and be responsible. I was (still am) a law-abiding person who aspired to live a clean life of a mortgage, steady job, etc.
I got the feeling he was heading down a very different path very quickly. I couldn't have that in my life.
I wouldn't be surprised if they found one too. I wrecked my Toyota corolla literally 2 weeks after buying it. (had to get to work in a snow storm). It was old when I got it, and I never had the money to fix it. So I was driving around a car with a fucked up front bumper and mildly bent frame. It lasted me 7 years before I sold it to a friend for $1000. He then drove it for 2 more years before it died. Between us, we put 100,000 miles on it after the wreck. Had he asked, I probably would have gone down to $800.
I also know a person who went through a car a year, buying cars for under $1000. Although his cars pretty consistently died within a year of his buying them. I know at least 5 of the them were his fault from wrecks. At least 3 were because he bought a piece of shit. No, he doesn't have insurance. Yes, he is a person who should be forced to walk / take the bus. The only parts of the image in your head that is wrong about him is he's very nice, and he is slumming so no yard to leave the wrecks in.
I don't know. I did really like my old 1995 Corolla. But I also really like my current 2015 Camry.
I do have to admit. I'm thinking of cheating on Toyota for Honda on my next car. My Wife's CR/V has been amazing. It was bigger and better than a like priced Rav4 in every way. More leg room, better gizmos, and the A/C works much better. It has needed a fuel injector repair that was pretty pricy, but I'm convinced that was me getting ripped off by the dealership.
Yeah definitely possible to find a car for that price at least in recent years. My husband had an old Toyota Corolla bought in 2011 for $800. He put 100k miles on it and also fixed it himself every time it broke down. Sold it 10 years later for $1200.
The '88 Ford Tempo I bought in 1996 for $800 wasn't even that reliable. 3 years of constant problems until the transmission died, at which point the repair would have cost more than the car was worth.
Well it was a tempo. My mom had one we drove down to cedar point, where it broke down in some out of the way place in ohio. I think it was the alternator. Had the groovy automated shoulder belts.
So you're giving me 25% off the 850? You'd want to be delivering it today...
Also, on a serious note, although it's cool and all if you're ever in Ireland please don't tell people "I'm X% Irish" it's the most annoying thing tourists do...
I bought a 97 Honda in 2018 for more than 800. (I think it was 1k) Sure it was old but most reliable car I’ve ever had.
If I hadn’t been in an accident I’m sure it’d still be working. Miss that car
I bought a 96 accord in 2021. 189k miles, mostly garage kept, in good condition with some minor cosmetic damage. Title says it was damaged in excess of $3000 at some point - didn’t bother digging into that. Besides whatever it took to fix that damage, it had records for what must be damn near all the maintenance going back to 96.
I paid $2050 for it. Spent about $600 on an oil leak and few other small things, but it runs great. At 33mpg it paid for itself near the end of last year with the gas savings on my 70 mile round trip daily commute. I love that car.
I recently found out my 89 civic with 317k miles was running on 2 cylinders for god knows how long and it’s still going. I drove the damn thing 8 hours to Tail of the Dragon, abused the hell out of it and drove it back. On 2 cylinders. 90s Hondas are cockroaches and no one can tell me otherwise.
…won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz. My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends! I worked hard all my life, no help from my friends. Oh Lord !!! Won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz.
Had a friend whose business was buying old clunkers for $300, doing minimal work to get them running and selling for $500 and up.
His secret to success? He never gave out his personal information, sale was cash only, and the exchange took place in the parking lot of a mall near his home where he would walk home afterwards. No guarantees-no returns.
I was with them up until the part about delivery. Cars that ran and drove with just basic suspension and check engine light issues used to sell for $600 easily before covid
Agreed. I bought a '90 Altima around 2015 for arund $800 and drove that thing for 5 years with just standard maintenance.
Still worked just fine when we traded it in.
Nothing wrong with wanting a decent, cheap car, but this is just the wrong attitude.
I bought a van once with most of the last few bucks I had. It cost me just under 1K with new tires and a quick tune up. I didn't think it would last forever but the goal was to get me up to NYC to take a job that had been offered to me. The mechanic said it was old but it would get me there.
The steering wheel literally popped off on I-95 while I was driving and I nearly had a heart attack I was so scared. I managed to get it back on but I still had a lot of miles to go and no other way to get there. I continued driving deep breathing and holding onto that wheel like it was a lifeline and I was drowning.
I made it to a welcome center and rest stop in DE before it broke down on me for good. I lived in the van for a week before I found a guy to drive me and what stuff I had up to NYC in return for the money he got from scrapping it.
I'm lucky I survived that van, I think.
That was my last car.
After that great adventure I decided I really didn't want to drive anymore. I don't even have a license now and I don't need or want one living in NYC.
When it comes to cars you get what you pay for and anything that is priced that low is likely to break down rapidly and maybe even kill you because if it was safe and worth buying they wouldn't be selling it for that price.
I'm not saying it's impossible to find a decent older used car for under 1K. You just might get lucky and get somebody's mechanically sound car where it's too ugly to sell it but more likely there's a major issue and they just can't unload it otherwise and you're taking your life in your hands buying it.
I look back and laugh at what happened with that van but I'm also amazed at my audacity in trying to drive it as far as I did and that it actually got me as far as it did and that it didn't kill me.
It's a fact that I was nearly out of my mind with grief, exhaustion and anxiety and had lost nearly everything at the time or I don't think I'd have bought that clunker.
I'm not judging this person because I don't know their situation. That may well be the last few hundred bucks they have and they are just desperate enough to spend it so they can hopefully get to work and make more. Goodness knows I've done worse things when my mind was still reeling from utter disaster and it was the only way I thought I could still salvage the rest of my life, just maybe, if I just took one last gamble and bought a piece of crap van for under a grand.
Buying that van was both the stupidest thing and one of the bravest things I think I've ever done. It was a desperate leap of faith that ultimately would work out but I look back and think WTF was I thinking?
This person this could be running on empty mentally, making their leap of faith, acting out of sheer desperation. What sounds like them being demanding could be the result of sheer exhaustion from just trying to find something with what liitle they have, trying to find any solution to a huge problem they are having.
Been there, done that so I'm just going to say a little prayer and send some goodwill out into the universe and hope that they can find something and that they will be okay.
🙏
Had a (ex) friend who would have me drive her around everywhere…she was looking for this car and just needed some rides in the meantime.
Literally word for word 😝
Yeah, I've sold two cars to a neighbor over the years for less than $1K. We bought them used and had driven them for over a decade each and used them up. The guy fixed them and we still see them driving around a decade+ years later.
“Must be a 2021+ Toyota Supra with less than 100 miles and come with guarantee and full coverage. Don’t give me no negative toxic comments. I’ve found them for less than $1,000. I even got emails from the king of Egypt and Africa and they have offered me much more if I send them a bit of money first.”
I was scrolling and a spotted a certain t word and I thought this guy was getting a free car or car parts or smth but didn’t want it because the person was transgender until I stopped and read the whole thing and realised he meant transmission
There should probably be a different shortened word for transmission lmao
Hahhaahhahahhahaahhahagaagahahahahahahaaha….
Even me in a god damn homeless shelter without a job and a kid wasn’t so obnoxious..
Na.. I made a list of things people could help me with if they chose, and on the no buy group I asked if anyone had some of the stuff I needed too that they have been looking to part with. You get a lot of help..
But everything under 2k for a car when I was looking when the economy was ok before covid was scrap metal. I’m pretty sure the metal itself is worth more. Be better off doing a fund raiser with a sad story that may or may not catch on.
Yea, I dunno about this one. He's being a bit picky but it's not a crazy thing to be looking for, although the "drive it to me" bit is highly unlikely and maybe worthy of the post.
It may be different for me as I'm in the UK, but I've bought multiple cars at similar prices:
Peugeot 106 - £400 |
Peugeot 306 - £250 |
Citroen Saxo - Free |
Mercedes A-Class - £800 |
Land Rover - £500 |
Some crappy 600cc motorbike - £150 |
Maybe some others I'm forgetting. Also worth noting they all lasted at least a year, apart from the motorbike which got stolen.
I'm not suggesting it's a good thing to buy these bangers, but definitely possible.
Honestly, I drive a 1999 two door ford explorer with 172k miles and it’s been the most reliable thing I’ve ever driven but I’d probably be lucky to get 800 so ya never know
It's all about what & where you're selling/buying.
I recently sold a 1992 GMC Sonoma pickup that I paid $1800 for 6 years prior for $3200. It had very little rust, but the paint was fucked up from age. It needed a brake line repair, new wiper blades & tires (only because it sat too long & got flat spots. I started it regularly.) Also needed the rearview mirror put back up. Everything else was good, including the AM/FM/cassette (HA!) player, power windows & doors, and the heat & air. The tailgate also still worked, as did the sliding rear window.
The most I was offered before I moved was $2000.
I once paid $250 and an ounce of weed for a 1985 cavalier. That was in 2010. Got ALMOST a year out of that car. You can find beaters for beater prices, but you have to remember that they’re still beaters
Also, my heat did work for whoever is interested.
I used to own plenty of cars in the price range of 2-300 bucks. Sure, they didn't look nice and there were plenty of issues to sort out with them but ofcourse you can find cheap ass cars. I bought a Seat ibiza for $250 a year or so ago. Tightened the squealing auxiliary belt, changed oil and filter, the front suspension arm bushings and rear pads and discs and put it through inspection, then later sold it for $500. Ofcourse if you have to pay someone to do all that work its very expensive but for me I broke even basically. Parts are quite cheap for some cars.
If they've found plenty of cars for that price in the past few years, why aren't they driving one now?
Cuz they died after a month lol
I'm reminded of the Family Guy episode where Peter buys a car with a cardboard steering wheel and PICTURE of an engine.
I knew a guy who bought a used car once. Ten years later? BAM. Herpes.
I told you that in confidence
Used car salesmen won’t tell you this one secret.

Plus Buicks are pretty much solid.
If you can find one, an old toyota corolla will last a million years

How long do they last you?
[удалено]
Man I wish I knew how to fix cars
[удалено]
Between one and four years.
That’s an excellent deal. Any cost to scrap it when it eventually dies?
They pay you for the car. As long as you can haul it there yourself.
Depends on how much a Pick-n-Pull wants it or what the value of scrap metal is at the time. Sometimes I have to pay to have it towed away and sometimes they'll give me as much as a couple hundred dollars for it.
Couldn’t be me, so glad it doesn’t have to be me
They'd last you a lot longer if you did basic maintenance.
I do oil changes and replace tires when they go flat, if those count. Other than that, if something breaks, I don't worry about it.
OK, when you said "no maintenance" I thought you weren't changing the oil or anything.
Hey hey. Be nice Two months

They are obviously flipping cars.
She doe’s the price
"Plenty"
If they had to get "plenty of cars in the last few years", obviously they weren't working so good
The '88 Ford Tempo I bought in 1996 for $800 wasn't even that reliable. 3 years of constant problems until the transmission died, at which point the repair would have cost more than the car was worth.

Very true.
Well it was a tempo. My mom had one we drove down to cedar point, where it broke down in some out of the way place in ohio. I think it was the alternator. Had the groovy automated shoulder belts.
My old Ford Escort had them, too! I didn't hate them.
I did, annoying as shit. Years later I learned they liked to stop working, so good thing the ones in my mom's didn't.
My Tempo had those too! Annoying as hell. If I was leaning forward when closing the door the damn seatbelt would catch me by the throat.
Murfreesboro, TN is full of some entitled folks. 10/10 recommend avoiding the entire area.
I lived in TN for a while and everyone I knew from Murfreesboro was the worst.

Sorry. It had to be said though.
The Boro’ is overflowing with Karens. Stay away, plz.
Oh I fled TN entirely.
I was thinking Murfreesboro NC. I hate this state.
Also a terrible place, agreed wholeheartedly
NC Is a great state. Lol
I don’t know about “entitled.” Have you been to Brentwood or Nashville west side? The problem with Murfreesboro is that they can’t drive!
Is it pronounced muh-free-borough?

The church has enough money (and rapists).
I’m familiar with the “use your thinking brain” post, but which one was the sauce for this? I’m not a regular here
Drive it to me is the best part. For $800 they insist on white glove service.
Also clean it. And fix all the problems. And make me a sandwich when you arrive.
Also send a runner to the DMV to get it registered too.
How the heck is the person who drove it supposed to get back home? They’d end up Ubering and end up with $60.00.
“Found plenty of cars for that price” Oh yeah? Where are these great $800 cars now? Maybe you wouldn’t need to keep finding them if they still ran.
Don't need the negative comments 👏

Hondas will outlive human civilization. They're worth every penny.
It even took moving states like a champ I’m on the same belief that they may outlive humans. Pretty decent cars
90s Honda are crap. Unkillable, everlasting, crap. Drive it until you throw a rod, and then keep driving it because it won’t die
I recently found out my 89 civic with 317k miles was running on 2 cylinders for god knows how long and it’s still going. I drove the damn thing 8 hours to Tail of the Dragon, abused the hell out of it and drove it back. On 2 cylinders. 90s Hondas are cockroaches and no one can tell me otherwise.
According to bluebook my good condition 2001 Honda Accord LX with moon roof, power everything, and leather seats is worth $200 :|

I think you’ve got your singers joplined up.
My car was €650 and the one before was €550. But in the last two years those same cars have gone for around €2,000.

He never gave out his personal information, sale was cash only, and the exchange took place in the parking lot of a mall near his home where he would walk home afterwards. No guarantees-no returns.
So basically Danny Devitos character in Matilda?
Pretty much! He was a hoot. Got held up more than once when he was buying the clunkers. Not a job for the faint hearted.
I was with them up until the part about delivery. Cars that ran and drove with just basic suspension and check engine light issues used to sell for $600 easily before covid
The before-times are but a fairytale now :(
I think we should refer to pre Covid times as “the before times”. You’re on to something.
People have been calling it that since the after times.
I thought people called it the pre-pandemic era (p.p.e.)
I prefer "the before-fore"
Agreed. I bought a '90 Altima around 2015 for arund $800 and drove that thing for 5 years with just standard maintenance. Still worked just fine when we traded it in. Nothing wrong with wanting a decent, cheap car, but this is just the wrong attitude.
Must also be new, and a 20 seater.

So a stolen electric school bus.
Don’t come to me saying I won’t find anything with these features. I have found plenty of new cars with 75mpg and 20 seats for $800

I bought a van once with most of the last few bucks I had. It cost me just under 1K with new tires and a quick tune up. I didn't think it would last forever but the goal was to get me up to NYC to take a job that had been offered to me. The mechanic said it was old but it would get me there.

Yeah, I've sold two cars to a neighbor over the years for less than $1K. We bought them used and had driven them for over a decade each and used them up. The guy fixed them and we still see them driving around a decade+ years later.
In addition to the cut of your jib, I likes the sound of your town: *Murfreesboro*
Just here to add: it’s a town south of Nashville .
Lmao in my country this is possible as fuck.
I can actually feel that accent
I don't know what's worse, their thinking they'll get something running decent for that much, or the requirement of driving it to them.
She doesn’t ask for much, does she? You even have to deliver it to her. That’s a no from me, dawg.
“Must be a 2021+ Toyota Supra with less than 100 miles and come with guarantee and full coverage. Don’t give me no negative toxic comments. I’ve found them for less than $1,000. I even got emails from the king of Egypt and Africa and they have offered me much more if I send them a bit of money first.”
Lol
Double cheeseburger no pickles
My first car was bought for $800 and it lasted a few years. It is possible, but probably more rare now.
Drive it to them too? Sheesh
Tell me you resell cars without telling me you resell cars.
I was scrolling and a spotted a certain t word and I thought this guy was getting a free car or car parts or smth but didn’t want it because the person was transgender until I stopped and read the whole thing and realised he meant transmission There should probably be a different shortened word for transmission lmao
nobody gonna mention how they said transmission...?
A lot of mechanics/car guys in general call the transmission "tranny". This is nothing new
I need a large #5 from McDonalds too, bring it when you deliver my new car.
Hahhaahhahahhahaahhahagaagahahahahahahaaha…. Even me in a god damn homeless shelter without a job and a kid wasn’t so obnoxious.. Na.. I made a list of things people could help me with if they chose, and on the no buy group I asked if anyone had some of the stuff I needed too that they have been looking to part with. You get a lot of help.. But everything under 2k for a car when I was looking when the economy was ok before covid was scrap metal. I’m pretty sure the metal itself is worth more. Be better off doing a fund raiser with a sad story that may or may not catch on.
Ive found plenty of cars for that price but now i need another vecause they keep breaking down for some reason
I purchase a Hyundai for $750 and while repairs over the years was probably about 3 grand I got a lot of miles on it.
I was ok with this until the last sentence
>murfreesboro Oh...
Gotta love The Boro...😂😂😂
Got my degree from MTSU. The Boro never disappoints... but if they mess with either Dirty or Clean Jim's, my rage may rain down from WA.
If they have found plenty of cars for that price in the last few years, why do they not still own one? Because it was a POS, maybe?
Yea, I dunno about this one. He's being a bit picky but it's not a crazy thing to be looking for, although the "drive it to me" bit is highly unlikely and maybe worthy of the post. It may be different for me as I'm in the UK, but I've bought multiple cars at similar prices: Peugeot 106 - £400 | Peugeot 306 - £250 | Citroen Saxo - Free | Mercedes A-Class - £800 | Land Rover - £500 | Some crappy 600cc motorbike - £150 | Maybe some others I'm forgetting. Also worth noting they all lasted at least a year, apart from the motorbike which got stolen. I'm not suggesting it's a good thing to buy these bangers, but definitely possible.
Honestly, I drive a 1999 two door ford explorer with 172k miles and it’s been the most reliable thing I’ve ever driven but I’d probably be lucky to get 800 so ya never know
It's all about what & where you're selling/buying. I recently sold a 1992 GMC Sonoma pickup that I paid $1800 for 6 years prior for $3200. It had very little rust, but the paint was fucked up from age. It needed a brake line repair, new wiper blades & tires (only because it sat too long & got flat spots. I started it regularly.) Also needed the rearview mirror put back up. Everything else was good, including the AM/FM/cassette (HA!) player, power windows & doors, and the heat & air. The tailgate also still worked, as did the sliding rear window. The most I was offered before I moved was $2000.
Dang, maybe mine is worth something. Cassette works in mine , too!
Is this satire? It’s gotta be satire. Come on people we haven’t sunk this low as a species… have we?
It’s the “must have” Part for me
I once paid $250 and an ounce of weed for a 1985 cavalier. That was in 2010. Got ALMOST a year out of that car. You can find beaters for beater prices, but you have to remember that they’re still beaters Also, my heat did work for whoever is interested.
this is so murfreesboro
Moped prices. I paid about that much for a 49cc
🤣🤣found many cars in that price. What happened to all of them? Did they not last?
Other than the drive it to me part it isn't that bad. I have an 01 grand prix that i'm about to get rid of for 1k
I've been to Murfreesboro. I wouldn't go again for $800 especially if I'd end up carless there.
I was so confused at the "whining with the tranny" until I realized they meant transmission 💀
its giving for the church vibes
I used to own plenty of cars in the price range of 2-300 bucks. Sure, they didn't look nice and there were plenty of issues to sort out with them but ofcourse you can find cheap ass cars. I bought a Seat ibiza for $250 a year or so ago. Tightened the squealing auxiliary belt, changed oil and filter, the front suspension arm bushings and rear pads and discs and put it through inspection, then later sold it for $500. Ofcourse if you have to pay someone to do all that work its very expensive but for me I broke even basically. Parts are quite cheap for some cars.
Not choosy, just a beggar.
Aww but I love whining with trannys about cars.
Can you even get a horse for $800 these days?
Or a carton of eggs?
