  I’m driving a car from 2005 (original owner!) but off the top of my head: bad credit, or needing a vehicle that can handle a long drive commute reliably.

    If u can pay that much to rent u can afford to buy some shitbox outright no credit required. Most of the shitboxed I’ve driven or my mates have driven are reliable as shit just ugly with no ac, and a broken stereo.

      Where I live 2k will get you a car with a bad transmission or thrown rod in the engine.

      yeah but some of us can’t rely on a shitbox to get us 75 mile round trips. good story glad you’ve been shitboxmaxxing much better than anyone else I know.
