We she’s almost 24 not 17… Lol… Funny since I rarely buy new or lease. But instead of having a $300 car payment at 23 she’s putting at least that much into her investment /retirement portfolio. Seriously. Think about that for a moment. I am pretty good at finding deals and good cars. Used to have 94 Jaguar Coupe XJS (Gorgeous car). My son will be taking the Honda Accord with 160,000 on it since he only needs a car for one year. My mechanic again said it’s good to 250,000. I am looking for an older Lexus 350 IS convertible. They are rare in the Midwest and not many on the market (people don’t give those up) since they are one of their most reliable cars.
Suburu is great but watch for the timing belt and oil gaskets. Know that going in.
I will go EV once Nio breaks the market or Lucid comes down in price so… 3-5 years.
