I’m refinancing this terrible loan and the bank person grimaced when they saw this.

    Cars have been expensive for a few years now, bought an 08 Subaru in 2020, it’s worth more now than what I bought it for.

      I have a good '08 car that I bought with cash 10 years ago for $3000. I got it from a guy who exclusively sells and fixes this model of car. I went back last year to get my car fixed and looked at the cars he was selling. '08s were starting at $5000.

      I paid 1k for my shitty pickup in 2018, it’s in worse condition than when I got it, and about 100,000 more miles on it.

      It’s supposedly worth 3500 now. It needs about $300 worth in parts alone to get it into what I would consider a condition worth buying.

      I don’t understand.

        Shit, a working pickup? Could probably get people to bid on that and make more. New pickups are absurdly expensive

      Older subarus are a high value and age well. I would expect it to hold decent value but that is crazy to be worth more 5 years later
