I know if you’re rural it’s probably not an option but at those prices, surely you could even get around by taxi for cheaper, if their area is anywhere close to populated.
It can’t be about ownership because I’d be surprised if anyone is actually paying these cards off before trading up
Converting that to Aussie, we’ll call it $800 a month. My wife visits the office twice a week, by Uber at 8pm her one way commute would be $42. That is safely an under estimate as peak traffic makes that much worse.
2 x 2 x 4 = 16 trips a month is $672 a month on taxi’s for that commute. A commute that is infrequent, and less than half the distance to the city from our suburb.
Yes that is before other car costs, but other trips too
Tbh, I was more thinking about the $2600/m guy at the end when I posted that, rather than the comparatively more economical situations.
Assuming he also needs to pay a non-significant amount on insurance, (maybe) road tax and definitely fuel on top of that—surely that can’t be economical unless he’s driving many hours a day, every day.

@9point6 @scrubbles the $500 a month for a second hand lease?
