I work for myself. I do petsitting and various gig jobs (via the well known apps). I have a POS Jeep Renegade that breaks down every other month. I cannot afford it AND the payments anymore.
So I want to trade the POS in. Only I don't have much to put down, my FICO sucks, and I owe over 1k in car taxes to a wealthy crappy town. I live with parents right now bc I can't afford a mortgage….. oops I mean rent payment every month on my wages.
This douche calls me from a dealer north of me. I explained my situation and that all I want is a reliable compact. Not another CUV, not a luxury car. A fucking compact with affordable payment. Well after hearing I'm upside down on my car loan, bad credit, and have $800 bucks to put down he hung up on me. I called him back and he claimed I lost connection.
I wasn't a dick. I wasn't rude. I'm not being unreasonable. I just need a reliable car. There's no public transit here. But bc I don't have money I'm treated like shit. Worse than shit. And I just don't give a shit now. Car breaks down again (and it will) then let it. I can't do anything else.
Tired of this. People younger than me buying second homes, putting in pools, buying brand new Range Rovers for wifey, buying investment properties, having nice weddings. And all I want is a solid little car. God forbid I have that. God forbid.
If you've gotten this far my apologies. I rant and rave. I guess I'm just pissed off.
