2017 VW Jetta. It would probably be like $10K remaining, and it's practically brand new. Manual transmission. Should I buy it or look for something new? I love the car, I just sort of want a Golf now.
I believe in no car payments. I drive cars until the wheels fall off before buying a new one. When doing so, you can have the car for many years after it's paid off, make payments to yourself instead towards a new car. When you have the cash for said new car, pay cash for that new car.2017 VW Jetta. It would probably be like $10K remaining, and it's practically brand new. Manual transmission.

I really dont know the value of those cars, but could you buy it and sell it for more than $10k?2017 VW Jetta. It would probably be like $10K remaining, and it's practically brand new. Manual transmission. Should I buy it or look for something new? I love the car, I just sort of want a Golf now.

Nothing wrong with having payments if you can afford it, especially if the numbers are worthwhile. It’s like free money, put it to use some other way.I believe in no car payments.

I haven't had a car payment since the late 90's with a used '94 Ford Prode GT I purchased in '97. Drove it from 48k miles to 121k miles. Paid cash for a new Hyundai Tiburon in '04. Drove that from 32 miles to 151k miles. Paid cash for my 2012 Shelby Gt500, have driven that from 11miles to nearly 40k miles so far, but still had the Tiburon at the time I bought that have since donated that car when in 2016 I bought a very lightly used Audi S4. Have driven that from 15k miles to 61k miles so far. (All of the above - Manual transmission)
That said, if you love your current car... keep it... pay it off, drive the wheels off before getting a new one.

I drive 21 miles to and from work. I live in the burbs, no train station to get me to work and back.So do you drive much ? Dats alot of miles. Most days I drive 4 miles to the train station then 4 miles home. Unless I stop for a pizza of course on the way home
