Good luck. I can't offer any input because I've never had one. Uh, do your research and stuff?

all the advice people are giving me about car prices seems to be anchored on prices from a few years ago that are about 20 to 40 percent lower than their current prices
i think i will be happy with the second hand one that i test drove today. it was a comfy ride and being from 2016 means the car doesnt have touchscreens or annoying nag features such as beeping when you turn and automatically braking when a snoof sneezes 3 metres by your side

the service record was pretty good too as well as the number of kilometres

Uhh. All I can really say is that you should try to find the car that best fits your needs and provides the best value for the features it has. You can go to sites like Edmunds and sort by things like MPG, safety features, whether it has android auto or apple car play, and so on. Then, once you have an idea of what sort of cars meet your requirements and budget, you can check crash safety ratings from the IIHS. Then you should decide on a model, look at local dealerships and be prepared to negotiate based on similar models and prices on your area. That's my strategy at least.

You should've done this months ago...

the best part of having a car is putting stickers of your favorite vtubers on it

I need one too, or at least a way to drive the one I have now

>being from 2016 means the car doesnt have touchscreens or annoying nag features
Anon, these things were around in 2010...

>>3579
I did recently. My first car (bought in 2017) was about 15 years old, the newish one is about 12 years old. Like that other anon, I don't really care for all that Buck Rogers stuff in newer cars and I knew that they would cost me more so I went with something older. It does have a backup camera which is neat, but the built in Bluetooth connectivity it has lags whereas the one I bought a decade ago that plugs into the cigarette lighter thingy doesn't so I'm still using that.

I would never recommend going to a dealership for a car, buy from someone you know, local listings, smaller auto garages - I dunno how things are in your area but you can also find cars for sale at a few different gas stations where I live. In my case, I bought it from an elderly couple I know who unfortunately can no longer drive

Always test drive it before making a decision and bring someone more knowledgeable than you about cars to inspect it with you if you can

Try and haggle the price down, they're probably expecting you to do it so don't feel like you're being a cheap dick, it's just part of the dance. Make sure you've got money set aside for any immediate purchases. For my car, I need to purchase winter tires, windshield wiper blades for the front and the back, windshield washer fluid, a jumpstart kit, an emergency kit, and I think I'll get myself a vanity plate too this time around, I deserve it

Buying a bike soon
Already have one but want and need a better one

No you should try to hide your power level but though vtubers are normal now

Bring someone with you always even if they are dumb as rocks

>>3591
>Bring someone with you always even if they are dumb as rocks
Yes, agreed

>>3591
>Bring someone with you always even if they are dumb as rocks
Just not if they're your parents or something. They'll take you less seriously...

>>3596
If you bring both, or just your mom, that could happen, yes, but I don't see any reason to care about the feelings or thoughts of someone I'm giving money to

>>3599
>I don't see any reason to care
It's better to haggle from a position of strength right? If you just look like your spending mom's credit card that's no good for trying to bring the price down.

bought the car...
now need to make a decision on add-ons and warranties and insurance and such

>>3603
Nice. What car?
Did you buy the extended warranty? I found it worth the money.
>>3600
Well he still has to sell the car and you have to decide what you are willing to pay so I don't think your company matters so much

I didn't get that extended warranty in the end. I got add-ons of paint protection and a reverse camera, but while doing the paperwork for that and insurance and all that, they forgot to ask if I wanted the extended warranty. And I neglected to ask about it. So I have only the statutory warranty imposed by the government.

just think of all the akasupa you could have bought for your favorite vtuber instead...
sigh...

stinky vtumor.

>>3610
Shucks. But cars like that are usually easy/cheap to repair and easy to get parts for, so I don't think the warranty thing is too bad.

>>3611
I can't imagine people spend money on things like that, or fumos, or funko pops. Automobile things are much more fun. I'd buy a torque wrench before I spend money on any of these. Better hire an actual escort than donate to onlyfans fake whores.

>>3614
>I can't imagine people spend money on things like that
then what are you doing on kissu

>>3615
Buying figs of non-3D whore avatars.

>>3616
vtubers is what seperates the true wapanese from the tourists

>>3617
Only for a select few, vtuber watchers are the tourists who can only enjoy the show. The real way of the otaking is to be the one railing said vtuber every night. Which is why your GNcels are forever stuck fakeota and gay while I'm ringing up the fig store with those supas you sent her so I can add to my collection.

>>3611
>>3614
I'd rather have the best of the both worlds by spending money on personal gynoids components.

>>3619
A wise choice. Persocoms are the not-so-distant future of waifuism.

My hondi 'cord has starting making funny noises when I drive.
I am buying new car too, 20 years old but I have to put her down.

>>3615
I like comfy websites, anime and weebshit, but buying material possessions of these things ("collectors items") is beyond me, they will just get in the way and will be useless. Even worse, throwing money at some virtual whore and getting nothing in return
Would rather buy food and supplements

>>3622
I'm sick to death of people misusing the word weeaboo.

My car's treating me well. Drove some coworkers around. My parallel parking abilities need work...

>>3630
okay grandpa lets get you back to facepunch

>>3645
Stay determined with the parallel parking thing

Today I saw driving school car with a banged up fender, and I burst out laughing. I just thought it was funny as hell.

Renewing my car's registration

Had my car for 10 years and drove on the Autobahn for the first time last weekend.
