[@EssentialOilStories]

Before I found Dave's show, I never knew a car could have negative equity rolled into the next purchase of a car.

[@jakeoboy67]

Even worse, some people do it multiple times and end up owing 40k+ on a car that's worth 20-25k. But they realllly wanted that new car. . .

[@jluminado787]

I almost got suckered to trading in my 13 malibu for a 15 tahoe something told me ask questions once I noticed what they were doing and not telling me the left over amount of the car was being rolled over and adding almost 8k to the new car, I ran out and never looked back. Nope not today Satan!!!!!!!

[@paperremix]

Same!!!

[@yamamancha]

When I started listening to Dave, I was just starting the process of buying a new car. Did a few test drives, did some research, talked to friends about their experience. Less than 1 year later, I'm still driving my 10yo car, paid off $10k in credit cards, no debt other than my mortgage, and in the process of buying my first investment property. I have a $30k credit line from 3 credit cards but I only use $1k/month to pay utilities, insurance, and subscriptions that I'd be paying anyway. That's just more convenient for me. Thanks to Dave I eliminating the thinking that it's okay to carry a credit balance and approach all my spending from an available cash-based perspective. But without a doubt the biggest thing I've taken away from listening to Dave is that vehicle debt is the great paralyzer!

[@mkite715]

yamamancha Great job! You’re on your way! I would just get rid of the credit cards. Everything you do with a credit card you can do with a debit card except go into debt.

[@yamamancha]

@@mkite715 The credit vs. debit thing doesn't really bother me. I ultimately spend more when cash is in hand because it means that money has been "cleared for use" from by cash flow structure lol. Credit cards instill a certain sense of debt paranoia about the monster coming 30 days from now. It can actually be quite debilitating as it takes me months to make the smallest purchasing decisions.

[@dominicankid1001]

Learned from mistake like i did and move on, never buy borrow money again not even 5 dollars

Not even $5, this is very true.

Best way to stay broke lol sounds like you can't manage your own debt and make it work in your favor.

The great news for Brad is that he lives in Wichita, KS. Wichita is a very affordable place to live (median home value around 126k). It is a great area of the country to build wealth.

[@DavinR16]

Yeah because it’s in tornado alley , home prices are low because they keep getting destroyed

[@johnnymichael1804]

Career Watch everything is relative. Sure the home price is 126k but what’s the average median income? 40k? It’s all relative, my friend ;-)

[@CareerWatch]

@John Holleran It is relative. Incomes on the coasts are higher. I live on the east coast. I make an average salary and it is very tough to find an ok house that is 3 times my salary. That is if I don't want to live 2 hours from work.

[@johnnymichael1804]

Career Watch I’m on the east coast too. (Massachusetts) one of the highest cost of living states in the country, but also one of the highest median incomes in the country. Luckily my job offers a ton of OT so I’m able to make up for my otherwise average salary lol.

[@pointman502]

I'm making 200k a year in Buffalo, NY. I bought a house in '94 for 104k, paid it off many years ago. I've been investing 6K a month for years. YAY me!

Good Advice

[@djflash7503]

You can be upside down in a house if you have a mortgage too.

[@MegaRenee2010]

Hi Dave

[@strokerace4765]

I have to point out, salling an upside down car and buying a “cheap car” can be an absolute disaster financially. Keep your cars, pay them off and stop buying new cars.

[@beanteam2217]

How?

In 2017, I financed a brand new honda crv exl.. my only regret was making they payments much higher than required.

"My car is very reliable" - got a new engine at 70k. Sell both of them and free your bodies of this weight

[@aprilsanchez5402]

He got a new engine in the other one that he owes $12k on, not the $23k one with the 100,000 mile warranty :)

[@mikeekim007007]

Plus it was covered under warranty. Factory defects do exist, doesnt mean that that particular vehicle is unreliable.

[@kylechallis]

It’s a difficult process to sell an upside down car. The paperwork, finding a buyer. Then you also have to replace the vehicle with something else to get you to work and home reliably. You are really only upside down on your car if you want to trade it in, if you are going to pay the car till the end of the loan you are not really upside down.

You do realize that not all engine failures are indicative of a "lemon," or conversely, a vehicle model that is prone to engine problems or failures? Some vehicles, including Toyotas, suffer from manufacturing defects and/or random mechanical failures.

Go on KBB, plenty of options I suggest Toyota or Honda sedans such as Corolla, Camry, Civic and Accord. You might probably need to get a 6-8 year car though depending on area. Craiglist as well.

[@CCBeanzzz]

Buy a car for 10k and use that money you'd be spending to fix the old car to pay off the newer one. Spending thousands doesn't make much sense.

[@poosmate]

Just to clarify, when I say run it into the ground, I mean drive it normally until it becomes "not financially viable" to fix it.

[@BIGBLUEGMEN]

Let's say you buy a 20k car and payment is 400 a month. That's 4800 a year plus full coverage insurance, gap, and whatever else comes with buying a new car. If you spend 3k a year that's only 300 a month and you shouldn't have to do that every year. Like someone else said once you fix everything its fixed. I'd keep your old car, its cheaper.

[@calebbroege1333]

Sell it. If you have already put a motor in it after only 70k miles, its going to need another eventually if they put the same motor in it. And chances are the next motor wont be under warranty. My friend had the same thing happen to his v6 camaro, first motor blew, warrantied. Kept it around instead of selling it and then had to replace it out of warranty again not long after. When an engine wont last 100k dont expect the same engine to last longer after you replace it...
