No they are not serious he states they are sensor issues which does not affect drivability but an annoyance. It’s not an engine or transmission going out leaving you stranded on the side of the road. I assume since the accord is only 2 years old and he wants a new car it’s likely paid off. It’s not that easy to get rid of a financed car without losing alot of money.
2 years old and you think it is paid off . You are living in the past and it is not difficult to tradein a vehicle that still has a loan balance . That is done all the time .
By the way the persons name is Betty so probably not a He .

Well yes it might be easy but dealers only pay trade in price which means she could lose a couple thousand dollars trading in a financed car.
What puts you in a position to pass judgement on anyone else’s finances?
What??? Would you care to guess how many “sensor issues” I’ve seen on cars coming in on tow trucks?

True i shouldn’t judge anyone’s finances but im just saying financing cars isn’t the smartest thing to do and it is true. And she never stated she needed a tow for a sensor issue so i assumed it hasn’t left her stranded yet.
One size does not fit all . We put a 3 year zero interest on a pickup truck in 2014 . We could have paid cash but we got an extra 500.00 of the price and kept our money in savings . We made the payments online so no stamps to buy . Now tell me that was a foolish thing to do .
I agree. Driving an old, paid-off car is the way to go. There is literally no better feeling than to drive a comfortable car, with no monthly payments, no lender hassles, no dealer-installed GPS tracker, etc. If it’s really true that the average monthly loan payment on a financed vehicle is now more than $500, I would estimate that my old economy car has put thousands of dollars back into my pocket, even accounting for repairs and upkeep.
