Poll of the Day > Sold my 2003 Camry XLE for a 2018 Camry LE. Kinda regretting it.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I got it for 19k with 13k miles. My 2003 had like 130k miles but needed like 4k in repairs to pass inspection since I'm moving.

After seeing insurance cost increase ($50 per month extra), I'm kinda regretting getting the new camry. It's really nice, but for $600 a year extra insurance I'd just put that into fixing up my old car. I got an online estimate with my company beforehand and it was only $200 (USAA). Wish I had called now.

I also planned on paying it off at my first payment. I was originally told I got the car cheaper by financing over doing cash, but it turns out this wasn't true and I was sort of experiencing information overload when buying. Now I wasted like $100 in interest on it. Since I have to wait a few weeks for Ally to make my account so I can pay it off. A few weeks! Why can't they make an account and let me pay it off in a day?

Newer model cars sound like a pain. I hear you cant even work on them yourself anymore.

Sensors out the wazoo. So many things can go wrong now. Its why I love my old truck. Not a smooth ride, but hey, it just works.

If you pay by the month just switch to USAA. Plus just the card itself with get you out of a ticket, thanks for your service.
