Another LPT: Don’t take any dating advice from someone who talks about how many women you can “close” with. Most likely their lack of success in online dating has nothing to do with appearance.

If you are using USD, 80k is a very expensive SUV. New 2023 Toyota 4Runners start at less than $40k.

If you are spending an average of a couple thousand dollars per year buying a used car, this adds up to be about the same as buying a new car and keeping it for 10+ years. A new car will last longer than a used car and will be more reliable.

I think the only benefit of a used car is that the environmental impact of making a new car is much more than repairing a used car.
