Finally got a new car yayyy!

I know this post is probably a little corny, but I'm sooo excited I finally bought a new car! It's a 25' RAV4.

 

Congratulations and nice looking car!!! I'd buy a brand new Infiniti QX55 if I could.

 

Those are nice. Too expensive for me though.

 

I was going to say a BMW X6, but those are too expensive as well lol.

 

Yea they are lmao

 

RAV4 is a good choice. Practical and efficient. Congrats

 

Congratulations!

 

Yay, congrats!

 

Nice

 

Definitely a great choice, can't go wrong with Toyota...
Just out of curiosity, what other cars were you looking at?
I'm looking for a car right now and its between a RAV4 and Mazda CX-5

 

It was either the RAV4 or a 24' Corolla LE. The Corolla was cheaper, but I loved the RAV4.

 

Yea, you really can't go wrong with either, the RAV is bigger and more practical though

 

I drive a Camry, and if my current car dies I will probably replace it with another Toyota, because the damn things run forever and I haven't ever had any problems with any of the ones that I have owned previously. My mom bought a new RAV4 recently and so far, she loves it.

 

I had my mom's old 1988 Toyota Corolla that she gave me after I graduated. I loved it.

Very nice wheels!

 

A Corolla was the second car I ever owned. It was a '96 and I drove it until '09. Would have driven it beyond that but the engine threw a rod and that was pretty much it. But my current car is a '16 and it's probably still got a good three or four years left. I am not buying another car until I absolutely have to. At this point, I care way more about reliability than style.

 

Totally agree. I bought a used Honda Pilot with 189K on the odometer and it still runs fine.

I am not interested in a car note or a big cash outlay for a new car, only to have it depreciate the minute I drive it off the lot.

 

Yep. When I buy my next car, I will probably buy one that's 2 or 3 years old because I probably won't want to spend the extra to buy new.And these days, I am the same way about cellphones. The only reason I have a new one is because I ran over my old one with my car (long story). If not for that, I'd still be rocking with a Note 10 Plus. I fucking loved that phone even though the battery was starting to die.

 

I 100% run my phones into the ground lol I only upgrade when either the phone is no longer supported or the battery gets to the point I can’t go 5 minutes without it on the charger

 

Over the past few years, I have noticed that phone upgrades aren't nearly as major from year to year as they used to be. From about 2010-2015 it felt like there was a lot more innovation from year to year. But since about 2020, it feels like it is the opposite. Or maybe I'm just too old and out of touch to pay attention anymore.
