financially this isnt the best ideapls don't
pls don't
Your car still drives, yes? Why do you need a hybrid?
What's wrong with your current car CE?I hate the color honestly. Its a white 2023 accord, 2nd lowest trim. If I upgrade it would be to a red one, 2nd highest trim which is hybrid. Same year. I estimate it would cost me 7-8k financing/out of pocket do the deal including documentation and registration and all that.
pls don'tGas is getting more expensive lol. And I can get double mileage on the hybrid version.

in the dealership lot now honestly.
Do it. New cars are funIts not new, its a better version of what I already own. Fuck it Im leaving, got surgery in a few months anyway.
Use AI to run the math on how long it'll take to offset your sell losses, and purchase+ tax + APR interest %, and how far you drive each year, and how much gas is.This. The gas savings wont be realized for nearly a decade, most likely. Youll keep the hybrid that long?
I guarantee it'll be about 7 years to break even. The regular Accord is a gas sipper.
To the "drive it til it dies" folks, which I have been, it's better to upgrade at SOME point because who knows what kind of situation you'll be in having to buy a new car while not currently having shit to drive because your old friend finally kicked it.I would normally agree, but TCs car is a 2023 Honda
Cars are my weaknessHey man, one a year isn't too bad. I've had probably close to 40 cars by now and I've been driving for just under 16 years.

bro what the fuck are you doing to your carsBuy it, drive it, get bored, sell it, buy another.
yeah, whatever you think you might be saving in gas money you're just going to lose by trading in a 2023. it already lost half its value in the last yearCar was bought/financed at 31k. Trade in they offered was 27k. Hardly half its value.

well I'd probably do that.No I just drive a Honda which commands value in this market alongside Toyota.
I guess the days of new cars losing half their value when you drive it off the lot are over
