After 2 months of craigslist search ,i went to a dealer and bought a preowned suv(wife) hyundai tucson,
I know is anti- mustachian,lol
I got it with 0 down and 2.9% interest rate.
Yes its financed,lol ...i took money from credit union instead of paying cash
Very low millage and all the extras wife wanted :)
We wanted a 6-7k car from craigslist, found out too much scammers,shady cars...rebuild titles,engine or trans problems fixed cheaply...odometer missmatch (2. Times)
Too many cosmetic issues,and wife wasn't happy ,so i bite the bullet and went to a dealer
$500 fee
Bought certified preowned ,with warranty and service history.
We got 1 year complementary service .
We stepped down from a v8 to a 4 cil
Im still driving my 4 cil econobox
Btw Toyota oil issue is nasty ,I sold my 2002 corolla with 129k consuming 2 quarts between oil changes,last time it was almost dry and decided it was enough.
Not a good thing for a woman that has little to no mechanical skill or interest.
And plastic trim inside was falling of including door handles ,inside and out.
I really don't like wife and kids driving an old unreliable car
I hate spending weekends fixing car or paying to fix it.
I hate the drama when wife car breaks down in traffic
I hate wife complaining about old squeaky,ugly car,lol
Happy wife ,happy life ...kind of
