I went in 7 years ago today and I've seen a lot of people doing some of the same thing you mentioned, getting expensive cars they can't afford. My first car I got when I was a 09 Hyundai Sonata, there are some honest dealers out but most new airmen aren't patient enough to wait. I still have that car to this day and it did help boost my credit score up.

[@iwilldoallthingsthroughchr2210]

Biggest tip: dont be too proud - look at used/certified pre owned cars -cars depreciate the most in the first 1-3 years - you may not he able to afford your dream car, that's okay. Dont screw yourself to get something you CANT afford - Shop around, you may get a car that isnt the exact color that you want but it could be 4k less

[@mcesarey]

I agree with your financial advice to young airmen, but I don't totally agree that they should avoid fun cars. For many of them, their young, single years will be their only opportunity to own a fun car until their future kids leave the house. I'm pretty biased being a car guy, but I did drive cheap cars and avoided having a car payment until I was a TSgt. I'm an MTI now so I'll be sure to brief all my trainees about the car buying process.

My friend worked at a Jeep dealership and the salesmen were too quick to get me into a car they knew I couldnt afford. Luckily, two weeks later they called me in and changed my payments, which I couldnt afford so I got lucked out and didnt have to keep the car. But I learned a valuable lesson. DO NOT IMPULSE BUY A CAR AND FUCK DEALERSHIPS.

[@marquisedeadwiler8837]

WildBlueYonder: Buy a cheap affordable car that is good on gas milage. Me: Stustustustu

[@MexicanBagpiper96]

Craigslist is pretty good. I got both of my cars from there. My first car was an '03 Acura CL Type-S with Navigation and six-speed manual. It was kept in pristine condition by the previous owner and was only $3800. My second car is an '03 Infiniti G35 sedan, also a six-speed manual. It was a bit pricier, and not as well kept, but it runs very well. If you look around a bit, and you know what to look for as far as quality, you can find yourself a steal.

[@SplashDotNet]

See now It's better to just buy in cash no down payment nor a finance charge each month or bi weekly

[@jahsuke8570]

Jon Cash but it may be good to get your credit up that's why he is saying you can get a cheaper car with a monthly payment so in the future you will have better credit so maybe when you want a nicer car you will be able to get a lower interest rate

[@Lokiwho]

Very good advice, you clearly have a good grip on life and being in for almost 10 years so far I really wish I had this advice years ago when I first joined. LOL

[@zaiddseguinotsuarez4647]

Tip: Buy a beater car that lets you move around. pay cash. you most likely CANT afford the 5k car if you are starting out. save money pay off any debt first. then upgrade in 4-5 years to a 5k car since you should have promoted and earn a little bit more pay cash for it. and you should be good. Getting credit is overrated, debt is never good

[@t-72k16]

Great video, Buying an expensive car is the biggest mistake i see people make in the air force. For some reason people just think of the price of the car in monthly payments, instead of the total price. I know a guy who got suckered into a 20% interest rate on a $15k car, and his reasoning was "the monthly payments are low".

[@AMSanders]

+T-72k1 wtf 20%?!?

[@dannycooper4642]

Always pay cash straight up. Bring in debt is too sketchy

[@connorriccilli748]

Depends on how much debt. If you can get a minimal amount then you can start building credit while in service so when you get out you can get a great score to buy a house.

[@BritgirlTX]

Got to build that credit by owing money on something! Pay by credit card ... but have the funds to pay it off BEFORE it becomes due. In order to have excellent credit, pay your bills on time and pay more than you owe. If you have a car loan for 4 years ... pay it off in 3. If a payment is due on the 15th ... pay it on the 1st ... and try to be one month ahead on rent, mortgage or car loans. Hard work pays off ... and when it's time to get that VA loan to get the house ... you will have excellent credit and low interest. Good credit and money in savings is the way to go. Have an allotment going into a savings account and don't even think about taking the money out ... even saving $50 a month gives you 600 in the bank! Always try to put SOMETHING on a savings allotment.

Instead of buying a car, how do you feel about leasing? I get that if you buy a car being mobile is necessary, so if you lease it should be easier. Say I lease a mini cooper for 3 years, then at the end of my lease, I could return it, buy it, or sell it. It makes more sense financially.

[@Amberjane2011]

Leasing is a bad option. Save and put a good down payment on a car

[@MontyJ804]

I'm glad my parents live 4 hours from my duty station so when I go overseas I'm just going to take my car home. But I do really want the 10th generation Honda Civic it will be my 3rd Civic and so it's embedded in me lol But I rather save and put money towards more important things.

[@marshar1130]

Ok so my phone service sucks and I need wifi. I didn't listen to the video yet. I will. But my question is, do you need a car when you're stationed? Is it hard to sell it when you have to leave for another duty station? Are there cars on base that you can use if you don't have one?

All very good points, but one thing I always fight with myself about is I'll be young and want to get a car that I'll get enjoyement out of. I want something that'll be more fun than a Civic or a Camry. I always find myself trying to justify why I would "need" something like a Camaro, Mustang, Challenger, etc.

Best tip is to get the most money out of the military as you can. Im a SrA and I get paid around 70k a year. Bah 3k. Cola 700. and more. I pocket it all. Bought my dream car for 25k. 1 Year later its 17k in debt only. However I saved around 5k. Have 27k invested in stocks. My car is an Evo X. AWD for any terrain.

[@adambuckner4539]

Mylf IHeartHaters 70k a year......thats impressive.....must have A TON of scare badges to be earning that kind of dough. Even then I'm curious how you are getting 3k for housing and able to pocket it all? But congrats I guess, though I'm almost certain something in your story is false. I know a few CCTs who aren't raking in that much, they stand to make a ton from bonuses if they re up after their contracts are up but don't receive a base of 70k and certainly don't after taxes and normal life expenses. Just my thoughts and experiences though...
