love the name; hate the price
To the bolded: my recommendation is don't lease. That's expensive in ways that are not immediately obvious.
i just like how they look tbh i've only seen 1 guy in my neighborhood cause i live near the college that teaches like manual labor jobs like mechanics, firefighting, construction all that. i mean they are basically motorcycles pretty much not too fast but cool to tinker with. No i am not leasing i give zero fucks about leasing cars i think it's pointless for my needs my aunties ex husband that lives next door always leases cars and so did my ex boss, the 2 always bloat about how nice there cars are but guess what you leasing um lmfao.. would be more impressed if they bought um.
Get a Toyota or a Honda, or a Lexus or Acura if you want a fancy version. 100K is nothing on any car made since 2000. Shit, most of them don't need a tune up before 100K. If you buy used, plan on changing all the fluids and filters and servicing the brakes, immediately.
yea that is what i am planning to do tbh. Honda is acura so i am looking at that as well thus the integra's they are pretty good and easy to work on from what i've read but people like to steal um due to where the lock is at it's easy to steal unless you disconnect it. Lexus idk much about not sure how pricy fixing will cost and yes i do plan to just work on maintenance for a while not going to invest shit into the car unless it's maintenance gonna learn to do what i can on my own if i can't then i take it to a shop.
I'm with you although having had both Honda and Toyotas I'm partial to Hondas but it doesn't matter either works. Because the kids mod them there are tons of parts. You also can get low miles used engines from Japan (in Hawaii). But he's not about to listen. He should also learn to drive a stick, yesterday. They are the cheapest of used cars because few kids today have a clue how to drive them.
i listen XD just keeping options open and Honda's is on my list already. toyota not so much given i can't find the cars i want made by toyota due to people modding them but still open to corolla's since they are reliable af. as far as stick goes no doubt imma learn it's not the fact im scared to learn just the fact i don't have a car to practice stick on. like you said most people do drive cvt here but anyone that mods for speed or wants cheaper cars will buy manuals. cvt is more expensive and heavier on the car if i am not mistaken. when i was looking at cars brand new they come in manual then i swap it to cvt but the price goes up about $1k at least same when i look at buying used the same models and lower milage but they are manual yet cost a lot less compared to the cvt. either way though im gonna have to learn cause i do eventually want a motorcycle gonna have to learn with that as well anyways.
Is transit in Hawaii that bad?
to my college by bus that i took same route and everything 54mins right now. by car the same route i took by car 19mins. if i take a longer route which is almost the same route by bus it's about 30minutes and that is cutting through waikiki and the busiest parts in Honolulu. do that twice a day you just save a hell of a lot time overall. idk about you but time is something no man can afford to waste.
