I’ve had 3 cars
the first was 10yo when i bought it, the second was 3yo when i got it, the last one was new.
Each one lasted 5 years, 12 years and then 10 years respectively.
Moved to a walkable/bikeable city & I don’t even have a driver’s license anymore.
New cars are not bad as long as it doesn’t get changed out every other year, and you get one that is a reliable model.
Sold it when we moved out of the country, lol. It was a 2007 FJ Cruiser we got for 18k, sold it for 10k. Only changed the starter (drowned it), and a couple other things. Best vehicle I ever owned.
Who are you even arguing to? Literally no one disagrees with you. Someone even replied to you to say they don’t disagree with you and you doubled down. You gotta relax man.
If you care enough, just open it up in a private window or a new profile. Also, unless you don’t want whoever is between you and their server (if anyone is) knowing you watched a TikTok video of a woman going around asking other woman what their car payments are, bad SSL settings is whatever.
Is the previous host your own server? You can get a free, good, and well recognised SSL certificate through LetsEncrypt. It’s dead easy to set up and there are many guides on how to do it
Though your link works fine for me on Chrome on Android, so I don’t really know what the others were complaining about
Edit to add, the site has a CloudFlare certificate and security, that should be fine
Don’t buy a new car. New cars are for rich suckers. Cars are the most common type of depreciating asset.

You had a brand new car that only lasted 10 years?? What are you doing to your cars??
My friend has a 1993 Toyota Land Cruiser that the mechanic said drives like new.
I have a 2008 Nissan 350z that I’d expect to get another 10 years out of.

If you’re rich you don’t care
exactly why you should go for a second hand one if you aren’t drowning in generational wealth.
What? My point stands. If you care, you aren’t rich. You just have some cash from a few good years.
Would you care about the deprecation in value of your toothbrush?

Huh? I made one reply in this thread when someone suggested that even the rich would be enticed by second hand, by u/potato
One reply sticking to your original point is not being rustled.
I saw this on TikTok and it’s been burned into my brain since.

The amount of money seemingly regular people are dumping into car payments is unreal.
Could you link the clip somewhere else? That host is blocked in basically every layer imaginable for me - uBlock, bad SSL settings and AdGuard

I just didn’t want to deal with people complaining about “A TIKTOK? ON MY LEMMIES?”
Either way, I can’t win with you people.
Trying to figure out how to flush my DNS cache on my phone was just a little bit too much, to be honest.
An alternative for next time could be to link the clip through ProxiTok, that’s unlikely to offend anyone.
On the topic of the clip, hot damn. I’ve seen similar videos from other car dealerships before, and it’s always so damn depressing to see.

No, it’s not my server. It’s well known file host that allows anyone to upload anything to it.
Taking out a loan for a vehicle does not mean you are rich lol.
Anyone can get financing for a shitty new car, not everyone can figure out how to retire by the age of 55
