Trading in Paid off whip for a Used Hybrid

[luckyluchiano]

So I have a 2015 whip that is paid off, and city driving is killing my MPG.

Thinking about trading it in for a Hybrid Avalon from the same yr (they seem to go for 20-25k or less). My thought is if I can get something for 20 or under and can get 13-14k on my trade in that it may be the move.

Lol is this a bad Idea?

Do you bro.

Do you bro.

what does this even mean

 

[jjs07]

I'd just keep driving the car that's paid off.

MPG would weigh less than a car note.

 

[eracism]

I would get the Tesla Model 3 if I were you. At all costs.

Drive what you have. You won’t “save money” for YEARS

Facts. Fully loaded Model 3 will be my next auto purchase, planning to have it for the next 10-15 years.

Doesn't seem to make financial sense vs keeping the difference in your pocket. Don't you push a Camry? Not like that's a gas guzzler out here.

Lol right? Save money buy buying a new car? What?? That’s some rent-a-center type slogan

Paid off whip easily. I swear this is my last car note I plan on having for awhile. Just bought a 17’ Armada. Wish i could have bought a cash suv for about $15-$17k

pointless

what car for you have and how it is draining gas

I have a Camry. I won't say its draining gas, but I pretty much only do City driving + high surface street traffic = Sub optional Gas Mileage (I fill up weekly which aint bad, but I'm not driving long distances to warrant that imo). When I worked in the burbs I'd get close to 2 weeks on the tank.

I'm seeing Avalons for 21-23k and my Camry is probably worth 12-14k.

This right here. If you drove a truck is understand, but a paid off Camry is good on gas

I'm highly considering one too, my friend works at the service center in Scottsdale, AZ and took us for a ride in one. Felt like a spaceship

You not worried about the long term 'unknowns' when it comes to this gen of Tesla?

You should just keep it real with yourself and admit you really just tired of your Camry and you want a new car.

On that note, cop a lease.

 

[joe billionaire]

a paid off 2015 camry...your good for like 20 years bruh

whats city driving + high surface street traffic? thats like something someone puts in their head so they can get a new car lol which is why i understand the first "do you bro" cause i mean your good but you might really just want something new

If a tank last you a week then that’s not an issue

Unless you’re getting gas for free with the next vehicle, don’t aee a point in going through the hassle of trading in a car, paying more money outta pocket to save a few bucks

Ah yes a LuckyLu car thread

A paid-off Camry > More years of debt on a used hybrid

Let's get real here fam.........most Toyotas in general are decent at gas economy, don't get suckered into the "Hybrid marketing" by thinking your paid-off Camry is inferior to a Used Hybrid.

As long as your car is good, zero worry to stress over your City driving reducing your MPG.
