Is it really worth it to buy a beater?
Think about it...
I would have to pay for the beater itself...let's say $2k at most....
Then I would have to pay for insurance...
Then the typical maintenance stuff...oil/brakes/alignment...
Then...since it is a beater and all...I can expect some major problems which would obviously run a good amount
Keep in mind, the sole purpose of this beater would be for college...BUT...I would have to get it from my house to college 3 hrs away...since it is a BEATER and all...who say's it will even make it that far???
I have been saving for a new car which I hope to buy in 3 yrs...however, I am not sure exactly what I am going to get. Anyways...to buy a beater now would mean dipping into my future whip funds....
Let me know what u guys think of my pts. on a beater whether you disagree/agree...all comments welcome!!!
