What's wrong with androids. I could afford an iPhone, but I prefer an android. To each their own.

[@Neshiadays]

Right

[@sunshineb-d5006]

Nothing at all I have one.

[@maggiebryant3845]

Just like I don't need all the frills that a Mercedes might offer, neither do I need the few (EXPENSIVE) bells & whistles that an iPhone would give me! Shame on you Anthony, for dissing an Android or any other type of phone!

[@cedricwilliams5490]

His android comment debunks everything he just tried to teach us.

[@Bethelgal42]

Androids are so much better. I hate the IPhone.

[@veedubya4636]

We have 3 vehicles, all paid for. I bought my 99 Camry new with only 14 miles on it. It is now at 202K miles. Do your maintenance and your cars will last. If you can't do it yourself, find a mechanic or shop that you can trust. I do all my oil changes and air filter changes on all three. Also get second opinions on repairs and recommended services, like Anthony said, "Do your research" even on maintenance.

[@anitajones-dye349]

I got my recent car for free! I had a paid for 2019 Ford F350 with a mileage of 56,000 miles. No dings and no dents and immaculate interior. Took excellent care of my investment. Went to trade it in for a brand new 2024 Honda Pilot SUV. Because I took such excellent car of my F350, it retained its resale value which allowed me to trade her in without paying a dime! So, we did an even exchange where we just swapped out keys, titles and cars! We didn’t owe them anything and they didn’t owe us anything! Now, I own a brand new, fully paid for car, not to mention, a new warranty! Love it!!! 😊❤

I bought my Toyota a 2003 RAV4 13 years ago I still drive it and bought it CA$H 💵 $7,000 and I love it in great condition reliable and I don't plan on getting anything I ride it until the Wheels off 😅and if they do I'll replace them $400 bucks VS 24,000 I'll keep my money

[@lawannasmith]

My husband and I are in need of another vehicle right now but financially we cannot afford paying for it cash today. We have a 2017 Kia Forte which is paid off. Now our goal is to become debt free including paying off our vehicle cash. Hopefully we can do it this year

[@tande0822]

The insurance on vehicles is outrageous right now even with a perfect driving record, paid for vehicles, and great credit! Now it’s based on where you live which is absolutely ridiculous!!

[@mikkih5809]

I love it-- sign & payoff - genius!!!!!

[@chiefafam]

Everyone doesn’t have the funds to buy a car outright. We still working to get to that level… what’s the best option if we can’t pay cash for it

[@willtacoma2ndgen661]

Just get a small car note so you can pay it off fast.

[@nastystew6942]

Never tell the dealer you are paying cash!

[@theetravelhippie]

why not?

[@SeshanMohareb]

Perfect timing! I was involved in a MVA last week; 26K car totaled. I can buy cash now but want to make wise decisions.

[@3isaiah61]

Bought an Escalade and paid off in 2 yrs..if you take care of it regular maintenance your vehicle will take care of you!...been 10 yrs now & God has sustained it...the used car market is crazy! I refuse to pay that much! Cash pmts are the way to go!

[@anniel3379]

This is good cause I need to purchase a car really soon

[@maxinec1616]

Much respect to you for giving us the game. Bless up!

[@nbs128]

Hi Anthony! Very informative! Especially the part about the car …”riding it until the wheels fall off”. I totally agree! I kept a car for years without paying a car note. The mileage was high. It was in good working condition. Thank you, Sir!😊

[@anthonyoneal]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@LadyVee57]

I'm 67 and I've bought 4 cars in my life! My last car (Toyota Camry) was 22 years old when I got rid of it. I will have my latest car paid off in July but I'm going to keep taking that same amount and put it in a savings for my next car.

[@raymondalcock6515]

One love Anthony.Nuff Respect .I feel that from the heart.Irie

[@CrownedAndFitNFaith]

I probably needed this like 2 years ago when I bought my car. I’m just going to keep it until the wheels and everything else fall off.

[@jacquanahughes6433]

This is informative information when I make the decision to sell my husband's vehicle. Chrysler 300 2012 183,000 paid in full. Yes, I do have repairs at times, but thank God I can get to where I need to go. I'm really thinking of selling, but no decision yet. And all you stated about dealerships features, and bringing in the salesperson, the manager, the finance just to pursue you to agree on their deal. This really gave a reality check and to use wisdom now that it is just me as a single widow woman! Yes, to make smarter choices and not wants I this time. Thank Anthony so much for this information!

[@taylorsmith535]

Yes indeed!!! That's real talk Anthony!!!

[@lanceoguinn887]

Great episode. I learned a lot. I am saving to buy a new/old car. Thanks so much

[@msshon1209]

Excellent Advice as always

[@carmenwhite8744]

This was great!

[@jamilcooper9032]

Great Info... I pass it along to my son, who will need a car soon

[@ShiekaG]

I have a 2007 Honda Accord with over 200k miles on it. I'm about to start saving up for a newer vehicle. I'd love to get a Mercedes but a Honda Pilot is more reasonable lol!!!

[@rwyatt80]

Accord only got 200k? You just breaking it in! I have a 03 with 200k. Drives beautifully!

[@SoeYoung]

I have a Honda Accord 2009 with less than 200000 miles on it and it drives great, just requires the basic maintenance.

[@ShiekaG]

@@rwyatt80 it's over 230k. I just got in the car to check😄. I love my car & it's paid off.

[@ShiekaG]

@@SoeYoung My mama told me that I can't go wrong with a Honda

[@ShiekaG]

I just want to start saving up for something else when the time comes for me to get something newer.

[@jonathangoldsberry4858]

Real good word!

[@lapen47]

Hi Anthony, I brought my Mazda in March 30 of this year.

[@carmeeshaarscott2506]

The same thing happened to me! At the table, the interest rate crept up for some unknown reason. Me too on paying off early! Haha!

[@kiki0372]

So sign and pay off immediately is better than paying cash

[@bey258]

I’m so confused looking at this!

[@mygspaaht]

For clarification what is a “3 year” car? Thank you

[@robertg3658]

I did this exact same thing. If they don’t want my cash someone else will.

[@terryadams5536]

My car has a recall with no repair parts available. I'm thinking of trading it in. So this video will be helpful.

[@ladieyo]

Is your car the Acura MDX.? We went to the dealer and there was an issue there as well.

[@terryadams5536]

​@@ladieyoNo, an Audi a3 2016

[@Jay-ry2nk]

Noooooo

[@terryadams5536]

​@Jay-ry2nk 😅 Why you say no?

[@Jay-ry2nk]

@terryadams5536 It's the. Worst thing you could do. Is trade in a vehicle If the retail values 20k The trade in value would be 10 to 12k Dumbest thing to do. Next to financing

[@traceyshelton2967]

How did you determine the best way to purchase the vehicle? What computation did you use?

[@Kdub2023]

I made several grave mistakes when so financed my past vehicle! It wasn’t until I was upside down did so realize Zi had got played in interest and other fees 🤬👎🏽

[@ingermarlowe]

I got my 2012 GMC Terrain new with 34 miles on her all by myself after my divorce- it took a minute but I did it. She has 282,000 miles and is paid off. I think she needs a fuel pump but every male says get rid of her - too many miles. I DO NOT want another car note

[@bessiewright2235]

Cheaper to get fuel pump than a new car. 🤷‍♀️ I’m just saying.

[@Sundance4u1]

I cannot

[@mirasmith2484]

What about using a car buying programs such as UBS, Costco or Sam's.

[@willtacoma2ndgen661]

They all rip off. Just make sure you read all the terms and conditions of the loan. Please never show them that you are desperate so they don't take advantage of you

[@tonimcpherson9449]

What if you walk into the dealership with your own approved auto loan? Four years if I buy a car I always walk on the lot with an already approved auto loan.

[@willtacoma2ndgen661]

Make sure you negotiate with the dealership first and have your local bank cut the exact car amount loan for the car. If you show the dealership the full amount you approve they will not negotiate with you.

[@klyteasejames3801]

I have Android I don't have iTunes

[@Angie0214]

Use an insurance broker

[@zayvion.r]

Im done with finacing and im 22 years old😂

[@traceyshelton2967]

If you are in a situation where you desperately need a car and cannot wait for a sale, end of the month, end of the year what do you do to get the best deal?
