You ever see those car commercials where someone buys their spouse a car for their birthday? Is that real? How can a spouse make a major financial decision without having their husband or wife involved? âSurprise honey, weâre $50k in debt with a 7% interest rate!â
Maybe thatâs like a rich person thing.
I bought my last car from carvana & when I spoke to them I told them I DO NOT WANT the big bow & after he finished laughing he said thatâs ok we ran out of bows anyway. I wouldâve been embarrassed if that thing came with the bow. 
âWhatâs my monthly payment?â is the extent of financial planning for some folks.
(The average new car payment exceeds $700 a month nowadays. 
)
Aww I didnât know they actually did that. My neighbor has bought cars from there and theyâve never had the bow.
This was pre pandemic in 2019 when they were running those commercials all the time. I bought a 2018 with low miles. I couldâve sold it back to them for more than I paid for it last year 
At least this one is paid off now.
I bought a car from the current decade. Thatâs been unusual for me.
I prefer to buy my cars from peopleâs lawnsâŚbuuuuuut now I have to be an adult and phhhhhlbpt about that.
To be fair though, it is nice having all the doors.
That has yet to happen here!
Then again, Iâve yet to purchase any vehicle that has less than 100k miles too. If the vehicle could move under its own power at the onset, that was an upgrade already!
@therealjrn I have a small stable of cars. My âyoungestâ is 50. Conversely, my SO drives a 2021 Whocares.
Chefâs kiss. Perfection.
