I also don’t understand why people are so obsessed with how much my car cost. I don’t need personal finance advise from you. If u make more than 250k and wanted to drive a CRV I respect that, but keep in mind people value stuff differently and not everyone (with ok financial situation) wanted to drive super low cost cars. Same applies to choosing apartments, dining out and purchasing electronics etc, please don’t force people to have the same values as you.

If you really wanted to talk about cost, renting from enterprise is occasional stuff and also only costs 35/day with code. For a lot of the weekend trips and sports our friend group all have cars and usually share rides. And no I’m not gonna use Uber as often as u assume.

My post is about going carless in JC vs the hassle and cost of owning a car here. Please stop replying if you don’t have the above ^ experiences

You are literally asking for personal financial advice here, you’ve said it yourself above: “my post is about…the hassle and COST of owning a car here” (emphasis mine). It’s weird to ask about that while disregarding the idea of a cheaper car. If you rent zip cars, what do you think you’re going to get? Not the kind of car you have now. So if you’re considering a using a cheaper car via something like zipcar, you should also compare that with owning a cheaper car. Of course it’s ultimately your choice, but it’s strange you think this is odd.
