>>943064I bought a 2015 Sonata for $14,500 (1500 off sale price, because I negotiated). Put $5000 down, and financed it for 60 months at 2%.
My insurance is $300, because I live in fucking Ontario, where insurance literally robs you and I'm 19.
I drive to university 4 days a week, 83 kilometers each way, plus stop/go traffic, it works out to around $200 - $270 a month, depending on how many days I go to university, because its usually around 13-15 days at most per month, so I drive like 2400 kilometers a month, for 8 months of the year basically. The other 4 months, I'm always home so I spend no money on entertainment, food, and misc stuff.
But yeah, vehicle is quite cheap, most people my age who financed new cars (mine was used) are paying like $500 / month, and some people who bought used cars, for like $20k from a dealership, are paying like $400, and I've been driving for like 3 years now, almost 4, so my insurance is pretty cheap, because some of my friends are paying like $450 or $580 even, for 2000 year Civics...
So, yeah its a lot, but its still low compared to my friends, which is good I think?
