2nding this. My wife was surprised we weren’t saving money on gas. Almost every time, a paid off car is cheaper than a new (or even moderately used) car.
A used car with incentives + cheap fuel for life and less maintenance. It’s just that upfront cost that is a deterring factor, once these get cheaper, I’m hopeful we can transition everybody over

Then get a used electric car. A year ago (before incentives ended), you could get a used tesla with a bunch of incentives on top of that
That’s exactly what I did. I got mine used with about 30k off the MSRP for letting someone else drive it for 9000 miles.
Yeah my aunt got one and it was astounding how cheap it was
Still more expensive than a paid off gas car. Probably cheaper (when fuel is factored in) than buying an equivalent used gas car.
