a 3 year old toyota is a temp beater? I bought a 5 year old toyota and consider that pretty luxury compared to the 7-10 year old cars I've always previously purchased (edit: and I'd never call them beaters either, I've always looked after them). I've never financed a car, I think it's a crazy thing to do when there are so many good used cars available. And new doesn't mean without problems either, usually you can get good information on the reliability of older models that you won't know for new ones.
- tharkun__ 1y agoThis. 3 year is not a beater. My dad used to buy a new car every 3 years, back in the hey days when his company would have a deal with the local dealership (of one particular brand that they like for some reason - probably CEO friendship or something) to get their employees better terms (without negotiating), so we enjoyed a new car every 3-ish years when I was a kid. But that's not a beater. The beater cars I owned were about 10 years old when I bought them. And I drove them for like 3-ish more years before selling again.
