Was jw, there's a lot of good deals on there
10-12k is enough to start an online business, and investing into cardone capital only takes 10k, and you have a pretty good ROI, 1-2k can be spent creating a online ecommerce business that generates you revenue, (some ideas).
"like getting to a job easier or reducing transportation costs in the long run."
using transportation like bus and taxi, is cheaper than paying 12k upfront on a car. What I do suggest though is leasing a car and using it to pay tax, for example, you say you go to work and pay 500 USD per month on a car, that can also be written off in tax, which all in all helps you.[DOUBLEPOST=1571138468][/DOUBLEPOST]
Imagine how much he'd lose paying the gas per month, if he goes to work daily, and 12k can be invested into multiple things, you just need to be willing to invest and take the risk

I'd generally recommend staying away from any of the European brands, if only for the express fact that most of them cost significantly more to keep on the road than any other brand. The top two most expensive brands to own are BMW and Mercedes-Benz, and unless you've got a lot of disposable income, it's probably best to stay away from those for now. Your $12k initial purchase cost for an older pre-owned beamer or merc turns into $20k+ within a year or two more often than not.
What're your priorities? Performance? Looks? Fuel economy? Low insurance cost? Comfort?

You're assuming he lives in the city, if he lives in the suburbs, it would be more time efficient and wouldn't cost much more than using the bus, especially if he wants to do recreational activities outside of getting to work.
Cardone Capital, Fundrise, all those sites are jokes because they lock your investment for 5+ years before you can withdraw with no fees. You would only receive small percentage in dividends every year, which is NOT worth it unless you plan on keeping your investment with them for the long term (which is dumb because you could literally get the same returns in a mutual fund while being a lot more liquid).
Sure, he can spend 1-2k creating an online ecommerce business, no one said he couldn't. However, OP said he wanted a car so he wants a car, why live life without enjoyment?
Bruh, ur lowkey dumb (Don't take this offensively) if you think 10-12k is enough to start a decent investment that has the ability to replace the value of a car. In terms of starting an online business, time is one of the biggest necessities. As the OP is supposedly 25 (according to their profile), it would be safe to assume that they either have a full-time job or are going to college/some sort of secondary school. If this is the case, the OP would most likely not have the time to safely run and operate some sort of business. Buying a car outright would easily be the best option for the user as once they have the car, they have the car which will help with an abundance of their duties.
As for leasing, in the long run, it is more expensive. Then there is also the massive fee incursions for accidental crashes, etc.
I mean if you guys don’t think 10-12k is enough to start a small business then when buying his car he has to make sure to write it off in taxes that way he probably writes off most of his taxes for that year
If you could read, you would see he doesn't give a damn about investing and just wants a car.

oh i got this.
Ferrari 488 Pista. Easy recommendation. Very fast, very cool.
If your poor, maybe a AMG GLC Coupe on 21 inch wheels, looks kinda silly but its a new favorite of mine.
If your in the most dire of circumstances, I'm talking abject poverty here. A mere BMW 3 series can be had for $30k.
in all seriousness (at least in California) there are some lower range, 2011-14 Mercedes' out there for around $10k, higher range from 2008-11. Newer Honda/Toyota's (2015-17) can go for $10k pretty easy.

Get a Civic from like 2006+ Models they're cheaper and will look better (If you remember the civic from N4S Underground 2, they have a similar look)
I bought the Civic Turbo recently which is pretty good.
