Why in the fuck would u pay that and not just buy a shitbox for like 2k
I'm driving a car from 2005 (original owner!) but off the top of my head: bad credit, or needing a vehicle that can handle a long drive commute reliably.
If u can pay that much to rent u can afford to buy some shitbox outright no credit required. Most of the shitboxed I've driven or my mates have driven are reliable as shit just ugly with no ac, and a broken stereo.
Where I live 2k will get you a car with a bad transmission or thrown rod in the engine.
yeah but some of us can't rely on a shitbox to get us 75 mile round trips. good story glad you've been shitboxmaxxing much better than anyone else I know.

Franky, I have no interest in a $2k vehicle as it's difficult to know what you're buying, and it's going to be a money pit if you're not able to do your own maintenance. I prefer to buy cheap sedans new and drive them into the dirt. That way you know they've been maintained properly and you know you're not buying a lemon. Plus your time has value, and always being stuck on the side of the road with a broken down car isn't fun.
