Has anyone made the move from a modern vehicle to buying something older and less practical due to their decreased commute or need for a vehicle due to covid? If so, what’d you get and are you happy with the decision?

I got a 2005 GX470. I needed something with a back seat and I wanted it to be reliable and didn’t want to pay for depreciation.

Overall happy with it, but I def miss having a sports car. I got it for $10k with 105k miles last year. It’s worth more now and I love the fact that I don’t have to worry about scratches or dings. I am happy that I don’t have a payment anymore because honestly it stays parked 6 days out of the week. It drinks lots of gas but I fill it up once every 3 weeks or so. I also live in Virginia and only pay $200 a year in taxes on it versus the $1100 for my previous car.

It’s actually a Prado chassis and body. But ya, they are very similar vehicles.

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

Have a wonderful school year!!

I'm accepting an offer with a new company... Start in early Aug. Senior Manager role, though in this company that equates to Manager at most consulting farms. They did not had hunt me. I came to them for the job.

I have COVID delayed vacations planned for the last week in August and the first week in October.

Should I just cancel one of them? Or should I at least put both on the table and see what they say? They're going to hire me either way, but I wonder if it's a bad start to ask for both.

Alright auto fishes, I’m in the market for a entry level luxury car. Open to used or a lease. I don’t plan to use it as a daily driver, live in an HCOL. Only restriction is that I’d like to keep my monthly costs at no more than $600-$700/month (including insurance, financing / fees, etc; have a parking spot already). Doesn’t have to be a European badge. Thoughts?

Buy/lease now or defer to Q1-2023?

My car broke (engine seized, 10y old). I am interested in 530i ($62k price), however 3year lease is $1,000+ monthly (with $5k down). Monthly lesse payment is 50% more than bmw advertised offers (“south FL dealers are not participating in the program”)

Q to car gurus/experts- should I defer purchase/lease for 6 months? My logic, the impending recession will reduce demand and we will go back to more balanced market (lower prices with negotiation).
