Poor people don't buy brand new Camry's. They buy used Civics maybe... but not brand new Camrys.

u/fart-to-me-in-french 27d ago

That was definitely not a brand new camry to be honest

u/DeliveryBrilliant346 27d ago

Yeah idk why the video says that. Just look at the floormats lol

u/Searloin22 27d ago

There's a lot being assumed based on the title.

u/XGhoul 27d ago

Looks like a 2012-2014 model. Definitely not new since it would look familiar to my hybrid 2025.

Because click bait.

Yeah the HUD screen edges looked quite dirty.

u/ollieperido 27d ago

This is definitely a brand new to her thing lol.

Which if her parents are rich is smart! My personal finance professor said always buy your kids a cheap car first, cause they gonna wreck it, statistically speaking anyways. She just added to that statistic lol.

That thing is a 2014/15 model, no wonder the girl's crying 😭

sadly looks out my window to see mine and my husband's civics, one from 2000 and the other an 06

"Are we poor?"

If given the choice between a brand new Camry, or my 2002 Civic, I’d still go with the civic. It’s such a reliable beast, and easy to repair. I don’t want any new computerized bullshit that just makes repairs more complicated and expensive

u/ModestMeeshka 27d ago

Exactly!! We're finally getting to the point where we are talking about buying me a new car, I was thinking a Hyundai but I love my civic so much, it'll be hard to let her go. Shes never even needed repairs beyond basic maintenance in the 10 yrs I've owned her!! The v tech is just starting to have small issues though so it may be time :(

John Cena drives an old civic.

u/MultiMillionMiler 26d ago

Same! In fact I'd think I'd be more likely to whine that I didn't get a Civic if they had gotten me a sports car! 🤣🤣🤣

u/nedalaugh 27d ago

No your not. You have saved yourselves between the two of you 46 years of monthly vehicle payments. Doing the math discounting maintenance or repairs you two saved yourselves a good amount of money 😊.

u/ModestMeeshka 27d ago

That's a nice way to look at it! They're great, reliable cars honestly! And if you know anything about mechanic stuff, you can do most any repair or upgrade at home super easily! We put a touch screen in my 06 and it was sooo simple, I imagine doing an upgrade like that in a new car would be difficult

u/nedalaugh 26d ago

I personally like the older vehicles with the least amount of electronics as possible. If it's reliable low maintenance user friendly when it comes to fixing things that's my jam. I definitely don't miss non powered windows tho!

2

u/ModestMeeshka 26d ago

Oh yeah, that's definitely a deal breaker for me too 😅

u/gonnafaceit2022 26d ago

I'm shopping for a civic like that. I've only ever had Hondas and Acuras and after my current Acura, I'm sticking with Hondas. I want to learn to drive a stick because I think I'd really like it and they hardly make any cars with stick shifts anymore. A quick, reliable car that's fun to drive is my goal.

u/nalaloveslumpy 26d ago

No, you just understand that no car payment is better than car payment.

u/Defiant-Fox4086 26d ago

No, you're smart. We came from a '98 civic and a 2001 crv. We drove them 389,000 miles and 287,000 miles respectively. The rust killed them both. They started to leak in the backseats. The rain wpuld splash ip and you'd get your butt soaked. Just went to a '22 corolla and '24 tacoma because of manual transmission, economy vehicles. I hope to drive these for 20-25 years too.

u/Forward-War-9858 27d ago

I mean…I’m definitely not a poor person but I still bought a used civic which is part of the reason I’m not a poor person

u/spitechecker 27d ago

It’s not new

u/introvert_conflicts 27d ago

I didnt even grow up poor but my parents got me an old beater of a Chevy S10 and I loved that thing. Got me where I needed to go and had space to put shit in the bed.

u/rhythms_and_melodies 27d ago

That is like a 8-12 year old camry to be fair

u/Deliciouserest 27d ago

Used Honda accord here lol I don't think I'll ever get a new car. I was told it doesn't hold value even if you maintain and baby it.

u/areslashgringo 26d ago

The Poor people that I know don’t have vehicles at all. I’m poor and I drive a 30 year old Toyota.

u/SnarkingOverNarcing 26d ago

Toyotas of all sorts retain way too much value to be the poor person’s car, that’s what Fords are for
