That's true. Unless you're doing DIY repairs with junkyard parts then maintaining a beater doesn't really work out in the long-term.
Doing my own car maintenance? In my garage? Attached to the home I bought for 75k in 1983?
Boomers are the worst generation in history, and it’s not close.
A lot harder to do even basic vehicle maintenance when you live in an apartment.
That's even assuming your building provides parking.
See comment my comment below. Having a cheap car means you need to have a place to fix that car/store tools/etc.
The more I think about it, a cheap car in working order is more of a luxury/flex than it looks to be on the surface.
unironically, my truck is my toolbox... whatever fits in the steel box behind the seat goes in there, everything else gets tossed back there however i can fit it.
cant find shit otherwise, lol.
