I’ve always been cheap when it comes to cars, as long as it has the basic necessities (A/C and Radio) I’ve been happy. A few weeks ago I picked up a 2019 Versa (5 speed) with 49K miles on it from my credit union’s repo lot for 10K; the credit union also offered .99% interest so overall I feel pretty good about the purchase. The simplicity and efficiency has me in straight econobox nirvana and was wondering if there are other weirdos out there like me who just love a good bare bones car that does one thing and one thing only, going from A to B.
Absolutely.
For me, it’s about getting a car and driving it to it’s limits.
I’ve got a 2005 Toyota Prius. Bought it at 111,000 miles and currently at 123,000 miles. It’s lifted, oversized tires, and gets to do off road and still gets 40+ MPG. I’ve replaced a lot of parts on it and hoping to continue driving it until at least 400,000 miles.
That sounds wicked! How much lift does that thing have?
A tiny 1.5 inch. 😂
The oversized tires give me another inch, so a total of 7.5 inch clearance.
