        South Mississippi. It’s not even hard yo. I got a 1995 GMC truck for you for like $400, it just needs new keys, a new battery, and maybe some gasoline.

            I guarantee you can go on Craigslist for your area right now and find cars that run for like $1k or less.

            Probably all hoopdie ass shitboxes, but wait a couple months and keep an eye and you’ll find something that runs from the 2000s that’s not a total piece of shit for like $3k, with around 300-350k miles.

            Are they great? No. Cheap as hell to insure? Yes. Cost the same price as 5 months of a car payment, and last for years with basic maintenance costs and worse gas mileage? Very likely yes.

                  I’m done with this guy. 8 day old account, I’m thinking troll or idiot, unsure which, but either way not worth any time.

                Ok?

                In the post I replied to you said you can’t find used cars for less than 10k.

                Now you’re saying people are too time/money poor to buy a $1k car, which is true for some, but that’s way different than your last point.

                At some point you’re too poor to buy a car, and that sucks. Not sure how cheap people expect a 2000lb hunk of engineered metal, glass, and a combustion engine that can propel you 300 miles should be, but I think $1k is cheap for that and it sucks if you can’t buy it. Either way.

                But sitting here and complaining that the cheapest car you can find is $10k in your area is dumb, because what that tells me is all you’re doing is going to look at nice stuff at carvana or CarMax.

            Can everyone quit giving me shit?

            I got a 1995 GMC Sonoma for sale right now, only asking $400

            Yeah it needs a little work, it needs a new battery and new key+ignition lock.

            Fuck, where the fuck you people getting used vehicles for $10K?

            Last year, I paid around $5k for my car. It runs well, needs work (that I can do myself), but is overall in good shape. I could have gotten a better deal on it, had I had cash on hand.
