    Harder and harder to do that. My goal was to buy a used car then finally a new electric car.

    My 2012 pre-owned car was paid in cash for $7k about five years ago. And my goal was to save $25k cash, and trade this one in for a newish car.

    My 2012 exact car can now be bought for $9k. And newer cars are now in the $40k range. AND they have shitty subscriptions for features.

      It’s wild when I was looking to do something similar and instead ended up buying a newish electric vehicle because it was about the same price as what I’d otherwise have gotten.
