ALSO -- I had my account number on my check, which a lot of you were commenting about, but don't worry. That account doesn't exist anymore so no one can steal my money :)

Hellloooo! My name is Clancy and I'm a 24 year-old TV news reporter. I'm originally from Long Island, NY but I moved to Cincinnati, Ohio where I work for the CBS affiliate, Local 12. Livin' the dream. :)

"Just because you have the money doesn't mean you should spend it." Truth
Darryl Nelson cloth seats wth Robbed
Thanks to COVID, I'm not going out, not doing much, don't have my vacations booked, or concert tickets purchased, and now my checking account balance looks so good and I don't want to spend ANY of it, even though there are things that must be purchased. :) So, I wasn't like Clancy before, but I'm becoming more like her.
And girl, they agreed to you on a CASH offer? Bravo! Usually, the dealerships make a cut of the financing back, so they're harder to budge on those cash purchases.
I’ve changed my mindset on cars and trucks and money Is to be saved not spent
not true at all, if you have money spend it
Money is fluid and should be spent - responsibly
I have buyers remorse even when I buy food so I get it.
Lol 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Me too. It's crazy...it happens when I buy on credit
Any body else’s vid was glitchy?
G_Rivera yes her vids have been glitchy lately
G_Rivera 0:54
Yes !!
Not just Clancy. I've seen quite a few UA-cam videos that are glitchy
The past couple have been like this...
Girl you bought a BRAND NEW CAR CASH! That’s an amazing accomplishment! Be proud of yourself don’t regret it!
It’s not the fact that she couldn’t afford it it’s the fact that she probably spent more then she needed too. Like she said just cause you have money dosnt mean you gotta spend it all.
For reals and on a Mazda
@@ryans413 she needs a good safe car with the hours she starts work and also driving in the snow
You definitely dodged a bullet. STAY AWAY FROM NISSAN!
$24,000 for a car that only lasted me 6 years due to transmission failure.
E. G. Only 6years 🤔seriously how long did you think it would last a 24,000 car by Nissan
@@m.williams3497 I didn’t know much about cars or Nissan’s reputation then, had I bought a Toyota probably would have a car right now still.
my mom and her husband just traded in their nissan altima 2015. the car was literally falling apart. the visors fell apart. there was a hole in the drivers side floor. a HOLE. and inside it was basically styrofoam.
Wow ! Currently looking for cars I can buy . Haven’t looked into buying a Nissan . But now I know I don’t have to worry about considering it
Clancy, you are one of the most selfless person I’ve ever seen here on UA-cam. Not for a second did I think you were bragging about getting a new car, instead I wanted to yell at you through my screen saying “be excited about your new car, you deserve it”!! YouYou are so humble and caring! Be sure to enjoy your new car and have a great day LOL❤️❤️
awwww thank you so much!
The fact that you are 24 years old and can buy a brand new car in cash is really amazing! You should be proud of yourself for that accomplishment. Congrats on your new wheels!
That's so sweet, thank you!
Right! I'm 20 and I have $0 to my name 😂😂
Yes! A huge accomplishment! I didn't get my first car till I was 25 and to be fair I didn't even get my license till then lol. My stepdad was kind enough to give me his old car but unfortunately it wound up being more money in repairs than a brand new one would have.
Conspicuous consumption makes saving rare in this society. Mostly thanks to credit cards
Keeley cooper I feel u on that 😂
Buyers remorse can happen even when you’re completely prepared and save up. It’s just part of your saving mentality to not have those types of purchase. Don’t feel bad. Least it’s not a loan, you paid for it and it’s ALL positive equity.
Well, unfortunately a car does NOT GENERATE POSITIVE EQUITY. A car value start going down as soon as you drive off the dealership place! Ha ha ha
I have buyers remorse with every single large purchase, no matter how much I plan it
OuiMyriam especially a used car (used to work for CarMax ) lol
Yeahhhhhh this is just incorrect.
Actually buying a used car is way better most of the time. She says it wasnt much more expensive so then its okay I guess. But cars depreciate a lot in the first few years. Going from new to used. But its not actually less good.
Girl 19k for a used rogue is a total rip off. You made the best decision! Congrats on your new car (: it’s beautiful!
Right that was a 14K car MAX
Nah that thing was worth like $5k lmao what a piece of trash
her talking about gary like he’s so bad and we have the exact. same. car. same color and everything. i love my Hazel 🥺🥺
Honestly u will HAVE THIS CAR FOR YEARS AND YEARS SO LOOK AT THE BEST SIDES
Your boyfriend is so cute and fun. Yay for him filming
Girl it's ok got a new car it's ok to treat yourself your a hard working woman and it's ok but you needed the car and you are totally deserving of the car
Southern Gal saying someone “deserves” something is how people justify themselves into deep debt. Not a valid reason. That being said, she did pay cash, so I’m not knocking her for that!
jmm_2104 then why feel the need to write all that when she clearly paid for it and you know it lol
Window Maker because this way of thinking “I deserved it” is not a productive justification for making purchases. If she wanted to pay cash for the car, fantastic, but we don’t need to say “welp, you deserved it, girl!!”
Southern Gal exactly!!!!!
Completely agree! The whole I work hard I deserve it mentality is flawed in so many situations. Whether it’s a donut after a workout, a car, home, getting nails done etc. It perpetuates the whole “other people have it syndrome”.
If it costs more than $500, I take a night to sleep on it.
KingintheNorth Anything higher the 2K I’m like nope I’m cheap lol I buy used cars that are in good condition and you can find some good cars out there almost better then the new ones.
Ryan S Used cars are gross
Disney Fan Um okay not all of them plus traits used so you will have to clean it
For me it’s $200 lol
@@disneyfan9099 so what you're saying is you don't like Milf's?
Ridiculously refreshing to see someone on UA-cam who legitimately works her ass off and is financially responsible instead of reckless or entitled. Congrats on your purchase. And being able to pay for it outright is amazing.
@Jake State Farm, I'm comparing her to makeup and fashion "gurus" on social media who for the most part don't know the value of a dollar.
Why are you even here?
@@lizzichi86 I agree with you. Good point
Did anyone else get weird glitches while watching? Mine did 🙈
Sierra Bussell yes
Goooollyyy I wish I had 21k+ in my bank account and didn't have to finance lol
On behalf of all the Garys of the world, I wish you the best! 😃
Mazda. Scotty Kilmer's #3 car manufacturer after Toyota and Honda.
YES, Scotty Kilmer!
Scotty Kilmer is a hack
@@jkylegilbert Alright, why?
She would have been better off going to the Toyota dealer. 😂
one day he says dodge trucks are crap the next day best thing since joey lagano.
You should blur out your check.... it has your bank account on it.
I was thinking the same thing!!!!
Yep. You need to fix that
@@lisawinters4681 its closed now so its all good
What’s wrong with bank account displayed. I can put my bank details up. All you can do is transferring money in.
加油Jiayou No, people can send money and pay bills with your bank account number! Ever heard of ACH transaction?
Clancy, you just flashed your bank account number and routing number to everyone with that check 😳
what are they gonna do, send clancy money? sign me up
edvard well... you can easily accomplish a lot with that information, if you’re a criminal. 🤷🏻♀️
Ohhh nooooooo
edvard I pay my rent online with my routing and account number, you can use it as an electronic check
That bank account is no longer open! I had used all of the money in it for the car and then closed it! :)
I bought my own car when i was 23 for $13,000 it was a 2014 and only had 10,000 miles on it! Ive had it for almost 4 years now and im so happy i didnt finance it and just owned it off the bat, best decision ive ever made
Wow peasant
@@thewinner7382 i dont get it
Impressive. How did you have that kind of money at age 23?
@@adinahwithkaden i dont live in a very big town so school, work, and stores are only 5 to 10mins away from my house so i didnt have to use money to get to places which helped me save alot. I was also a "live in" nanny in college so from 18 til i was 21 i didnt have to pay for rent or food and i was getting paid $250 a week.
I just made smart choices but honestly it helps not living in a huge city lol i bought my house just this year.
@@aleeshachavez6530 you rock, and you should be very proud!
When I bought my 2014 Ram a year ago I regretted it for a few weeks feeling like “WTF how am I gonna pay for this?!?” (It was my first financed vehicle) and once I made the first payment on it and realized I didn’t die and go bankrupt and loose everything I owned (lol dramatic, I know) I realized it was all going to be good. And if I hated it, or couldn’t afford it down the line, I’d trade it in and get something a little older and cheaper!! That’s the glory of “new” or practically new cars with high standing values, you can trade them in for something better for your wallet. Good luck, I’m sure you’ll love it 💕💕
Trading in is absolutely terrible because of negative equity.
Honey trade in’s make the dealership money, not the seller. Ever. They’ll buy your car for a wholesale price and get you to buy their car for retail.... unless you finance outside of the dealer and ONLY focus on the out of door price... you’ll lose. DONT EVER TELL THEM WHAT YOU WANT YOUR MONTHLY PAYMENT TO BE
Mermaids Exist My parents are self-employed business people and they only get cars if the dealer matches the monthly price they say. They get it everytime.
sun leo if it works for them then ok but for most it is unwise. They will stretch out a loan to fit that monthly amt you gave them and you’ll pay thousands more in interest
Same! I went from no car payment (mine was paid off) to a 370 car payment and a insurance payment of 65 to 235. I didn't know how I was gonna swing that with a part time job and being a full time college student but after the first couple payments I was like ok, I can do this!
I've had my 2002 VW New Beetle since 2005, still have it. I haven't had payments in 10 years...I'm grateful for it. Cars are the worst investment.
Exactly. Cars are a liability not an investment.
I’ve had my 08 Focus paid off for the past 6 years. Not keen on getting a new car anymore!
Ashley White Had my 05 jetta since 07 and in spring 2019 timing belt snapped and destroyed engine. I was forced to buy a new car because it would have been 8000 for a new engine. I am now leasing bec I never want to have an unexpected repair again.
Nice...got a 2000 Taurus still driving daily and no car payment since 2005.
Impressive. Those VW’s were POS cars for reliability.
If it makes you feel any better, I was a Nissan Technician and currently one for Lexus. You dodged a bullet by not buying the Nissan.
I heard their transmissions suck. They aren't reliable cars.
@@Penelope416 That would be correct. The transmission will eventually overheat destroying the steel belt.
Unless it’s a Nissan Sentra 2003 those cars are bulletproof the Ofer transmission good not the newer ones with the cvt
"WE have TWO developments" definitely a news reporter hahaha
Buying a car and house, the two most stressful purchases a person will ever make 🚗💲= 😫💰💸🤯
I know how you feel. I had to buy a car because my old car was very unsafe. I cried when I bought my new car. My mother told me that my safety was important and after a few months I finally felt better about my purchase.
You've made the right decision. You bought a very nice car. it has a nice engine and transmission and all-wheel drive system. The mistake would've been if you had bought that Rouge with it's hideous CVT transmission.
Not only Nissan's transmissions are crap, they look absolutely hideous.
Would’ve had to pay the difference between the new and used car when the transmission goes out
Demesvar Clerge That’s why you buy new or CPO- it’s covered by your warranty up to 100,000 miles or 7 years.
@@Dragon228833 have you driven a Nissan that had a CVT "go out"? She was looking at a used Nissan, but only a couple of years old. It would still be under factory warranty. I am willing to bet that you are just parroting some bullshit you have heard about a car that isn't super cool because it has a CVT. I have had two cars with CVTs. 0 issues. More cars on the road now with CVTs than ever. I don't think there is a problem with CVTs
Lol that 2007 honda accord will outlast the Mazda sadly
Glad you didn’t get the Rouge, those cars suck 😭
... Most current Nissans in general... Just saying. This includes the Infiniti brand too.
K03sport Infiniti is a great brand
@@disneyfan9099... You may think that's true, but (almost) all Infinities start life as a Nissan and that dooms them from the start. We had a 2004 Pathfinder (for 13 years) which was a fantastic vehicle, but some time after 2010-11 things started going south. Nissan's reliance on the cvt transmission was a bad one. Even joining forces with Renault has not improved things. Nissans - rental cars and nothing more. If Infiniti is great, why can't Nissan put more Infiniti into each Nissan? That would help out a lot.
Disney Fan Infiniti is flailing right now and so is Nissan. This is widely understood.
Rouge?
“I’m definitely making myself seem poor” I laughed so hard
Marisol I kid you not I almost spat out my drink when she said “he’s gonna pick up the check” after talking about making herself seem poor 😂
I make myself poor. There’s no illusion. This is adulting right? 😂
Honda’s are actually really nice cars, super reliable.
Live On Pointe Mazda is better
Mazda isn’t reliable when it comes to build quality
@andydguitar true but not true. They're both shit brands I used to lease a 2015 Nissan Rouge, that was the year they did the redesign on the rouge. Let me tell you that car was the biggest piece of shit. The ride is so shit you feel every bump and a lot of shit broke in the interior, overall a shit car and a shit brand and I say the same for Mazda.
A Jew from Brooklyn Mazda is better than Honda IMO. If you want oil leaks and petrol mixing with it sure get a Honda.
@@appletree4433 Mazda's build quality has improved but they're not nearly as reliable as most Hondas. Unless you're buying an Odyssey or an Element, Hondas are better than Mazdas. Hondas have stronger engines even than Toyota on average. Mazda's quality is more comparable to Kia's or Hyundai's.
The Skyactiv VVT engines in the new Mazdas are notorious for breaking and burning oil, and their transmissions are a little on the weak side. They are better than Nissans though, I'll give them that.
zack did a great job solo vlogging in this video!
Christina Hernandez yes was curious if anyone else thought this!
hahaha I agree!
You dodged a bullet not buying the Rogue.
I love that you're showing the reality of big purchases unlike most youtubers.
"who names a car you care about Gary?!?!" Lolol
Love you Clancy!! Sometimes lessons have to be learned the hard way. :/
Okay so now after watching the video in full, I don't think you made a bad decision at all. You paid this IN FULL!! OMG girl!! That was the absolute best thing you could have done. You've worked your butt off! Awesome job!
You have two full time jobs and you deserve to have a reliable vehicle. You’re amazing. Don’t regret the car. 💖
Thank you, Sydney!
That’s how the sales guys get you. Go ahead and drive the new car.
Ha, yeah. I just went to research a car and ended up picking my wife up from work and taking her to lunch in it. Didn't buy though, but might have.
Finally somebody understands me cause I am always regretting my big purchase... AL-WAYS
Liveta don’t regret so much you only live once & feeling like you can’t spend your money on some of the things that you need & want is really not worth saving & having money if you’re afraid to spend it & live.
denise douglas great comment. Thank you
If you can pay cash and not finance a car you’re just fine financially, come back when you have to finance something for like 6 freaking years to afford it!
if you need to finance it for 6 years, the truth is, you can't afford it.
PutrHH BINGO!!!
@@KujezZi There are many reasons a person might finance something despite having the cash to buy it outright. One big one is that taking the car money and making 10% or more on it investing it while paying 4% interest on a car means you come out ahead in the end.
@@tschaderdstrom2145 Average joe is not gonna invest that money, they're looking for cheapest payments and end up paying something like 30k for 25k car.
@@tschaderdstrom2145 That's just what I did. 2.3% interest from my credit union on a $48,850 Honda ....with nothing down. You are an absolute idiot not to take advantage of rates like this. I was ready to write the check but with a return on THAT money, which had been 8.96% that would have been crazy.
Hey, love your video but I don’t know if it is my phone but in some parts of this video is fuzzy like goes black and white for a few seconds?
Love the new car!
Ikr it glitches and like moves to a different part of the video but you can still here the audio and then comes back.
Mine did glitchy things too!
A few friends of mine have the Mazda and they love it! Several years and no issues for them! My family and I had a Rogue and had to have the transmission replaced! Come to find out, it’s pretty common with those cars! So I think you made a great choice 😊 I bought a new car earlier this year and had the same feeling so I think you’re just a normal person lol Congrats girl!
Is this how Americans pronounce “Mazda” and “Nissan”?
Justine Whaley Yes... we say MAHzda I know in Canada it’s MAzda like yeah. 😂 same goes with Pasta and Mario...
Terry Jourdain I’m Australian, so it might surprise you we don’t shorten it to “Mazza” ahahah
It’s mazzzda lol
And they spell cheque as "check" because phonetics.
It’s closer to how the Japanese is pronounced with the open A in Mazda and the first syllable of Nissan sounding like “knee”
I felt the EXACT same way when I bought my new Honda Accord last year. Didn’t wanna do it, did it, and then regretted it. I got over it eventually though luckily.
I react the same way when fun exciting things happen to me too! When we bought our house I wanted to throw up and cry lol
Hahaha omg that will so be me
Ashley Holder
SAME! I hate that I can’t enjoy my purchases in the moment.
Same! I wanted a house for so long! It was my dream goal. I felt so much regret after seeing my bank account go way down. It's been a year and dont know if we made the right choice
@@colleenemal5182 Buying is ALWAYS better than renting. You're building equity now, whereas if you were renting it would just be money down the drain. Congrats on being a homeowner!
And then there’s David Dobrik.. just casually giving away brand new cars every week like they’re a box of chocolates
I got a brand new Mazda last year. It was my dream car I wanted for years and I’m in love with it :) And I love your white SUV you picked. So happy for you!
I just bought a brand new 2019 Toyota RAV4. I totally get how you’re feeling! I LOVE my car, but my old 2008 was paid off and that was comfortable.
RAV4 isn't a comfortable car! It's a basic car.
Ekule Nwaiku I disagree. But thanks for following up 3 months later to tell me that. 🤨 Worth noting I said it was paid off and that was comfortable - IE it was nice to not have a car payment.
@@slvrfrosty lol...c'mon, I was just yanking your chain.
Amanda Harris Toyota’s are known to be reliable as well
Lol, so if I understand this correctly, you're twenty-four, you can swing a new car in cash, you have perfect teeth, but you have qualms that somehow you didn't deserve this? I'm going to say there's about a zillion twenty-somethings who'd be willing to study your every move. And you have a tangible asset in your name. Isn't this aka "living the dream?"
I love how financially responsible you are. Very different from a lot of other youtubers
Oh Clancy, please girl you need this car. Your old one was.... yea....
I’ll watch all the ads for ya to help. ;)
Whay lipstick do you wear? I’m obsessed and I always wonder because it looks SO GOOD
Same!! Clancy feel free to chime in
faux by MAC!!
@@ClancyBurkeX awesome! I'm buying it
Mazda is so underrated-she will last you forever!!
Agreed mazdas are pretty decent
OfTheGirl lol your disillusion. Mazada is garbage
Jesus Quezada how are they garbage? They now have a better reliability rating then Toyota and Honda, so how garbage are they?
Mazdas have the same reliability as a toyota.
@@Axtec36 still waiting on why Mazda is garbage....
Mazda is such a good brand and it will last you such a long time and doesn’t require much maintenance
She’s so real. It’s okay to splurge on yourself every now and then. A car is for sure worth it and very important
I love my Mazda CX-5!! I definitely have an older version but it has been so reliable and so nice!
Clancy I love you but you should’ve financed at least for the first three months and paid it off it will look great on your credit when you’re ready to buy a house down the road.
Buying a new car is a bad choice financially, that shit depricates the moment it leaves the lot
a rather stupid an selfish statement.. There is No such thing as a Use car Factory..instead of just sounding like a low rent parasite , Be grateful an humble That People do in Fact buy new Cars, so you can say Stupid dumbass comments like its a bad investment ( roads store shops homes Employment travel free enterprise abound because of cars ).. Again No such thing as a Used Car factory..
Allan Desmond - true... someone Hass to buy it first in order for someone else to get it secondhand. And nowadays quite often the first purchaser is a person who leases it. So they get it brand new and only pay for the portion they used.
Very true, but somethings are a want and not a need.😎
SuperChief5 - That’s true about almost everything except food, water, air, shelter, and clothing
If you plan on keeping a new car for 10yrs then depriciation does not matter.....your new car becomes your used car.
Scotty Kilmer cringing 😂😂😂watching this.
So I totally understand how you feel. 3 years ago I bought my first brand new car. I bought a Honda HR-V and I totally love it..I hate the monthly payment..but it’s mine..lol. You should be very proud that you bought this New Car out right..that is a huge huge deal. Congrats on the very cute New Car. You so deserve it.
Buying a safe, AWD car is never money poorly spent, especially when you live in an area that experiences winter. That car will have your back.
cnlish except that Mazda’s don’t hold up well at all
@@evelynb9679 I would have picked a different brand but let the girl be happy with her purchase 🤷🏼♀️
cnlish Like a Toyota. Those things never die.
@@evelynb9679 my mazda held up pretty well for 10 years...so no clue what your talking about
@@evelynb9679 I used to hear that alot but my experience has been great. I have had my mazda 6 sedan for 10 years. Had a Toyota sedan before that and test drove many cars before deciding on the Mazda. It has been reliable and offers a very comfortable ride.
Wait until you buy you’re first house.....talking about writing checks
Welcome to the Mazda family! I bought a CX5 last year and it's been great.
Your Matthew McConaughey impression is priceless 😂❤️
Y’all eat a lot of sandwiches lol
My first car was a hand me down Toyota Camry. My first car that I financed n paid for on my own was a 2018 Mazda CX-5 but in gray. It’s amazing!
I feel the same when I spend Clancy! I think it’s because we both love saving and seeing our bank build up.
When you drive a new car off of the lot it loses so much value I could never. I know what you’re talking about with finances.
“ raging 160” just because it’s on the dash doesn’t mean it goes it💀
Brandon thank you! I came to the comments to address this haha. Also, 160 top speed for a compact mainstream crossover would be amazing
I wouldn’t go car shopping with him if he thinks any car is actually capable of the highest number on the speedometer! 🤣
The only car I have had that actually hit the top speed was my 91 240sx lol which was 115. And then the governor kicked in and bounces down to 110 . Felt like it could keep climbing
Sarcasm....
I love how independent you are. I am the same way. I also bought my first car not like everyone else around me who would get it through their parents. You are awesome! Thanks for you videos
I bought a 2019 Nissan Rogue in October. I have to finance it. I LOVE my Rogue. I’ve wanted it for 2.5yrs.
Congrats on your new car!
I have a 2017 financed! It is my perfect car ❤️
I just bought a 2020 and I’m so in love with mine too!!! I didn’t even know we wanted it until we test drove it.
I was 58years old when I bought my first new car and I went through the same emotions as you...but as time went on, I felt secure and safe and I knew it was the right decision. Fiscally, yeah, a used car makes more sense, but I love my new car!
As an owner of a car dealership - I tell all of my friends and family to buy used cars. 3-4 years old with 30-50k miles is the sweet spot.
Thats because dealerships make more money selling used cars.
Right about the years that the original warranty runs out. Brilliant
Jake Root that's correct. And if you want a warranty because if you got something like a range go to CarMax and get the warranty
It's been my experience that over the last 5-10 years, used car prices have gone up noticeably versus new car prices. I grew up with the same attitude to always buy used, let the first owner eat the depreciation, but I don't see the value proposition as much with the higher used prices. I think the best financial thing anyone can do is keep a car for 10+ years (assuming you don't drive an insane number of miles). If you keep a car for a long period of time, the cost differential between used and new becomes so small spread out over the life of the vehicle. Enjoy your new car!
My mum bough a 2008 Honda CRV and in 2018 bough a CX5. I don’t see the reasoning why people buy a car every 18 months it’s stupid,
so true especially over the last year used car prices have gone insane
honestly I'm the same way, I am so used to saving that when I have to spend a lot of money on something that is necessary I have to think about it over and over again and then feel crappy after I buy it. It's because our state of mind is to save. Even when you end up buying a house you're gunna feel this same way, because you are just giving away everything you saved and it feels wrong but that's the point of saving, to spend it on the stuff we were saving it for. It's nice to have nice things if you can afford it. It's all about balance, as long as you're not always a reckless spender and you save, it's okay to make a big purchase every now and then.
I drive a CX5 and it's the BEST! It's such a great car, I know you're gonna love it! I couldn't imagine driving anything else now. Congrats I really think you'll feel more and more happy with your decision as you continue to drive it!
I love the CX-5, great choice! Buyer's Remorse will pass soon.
Well done. If you were my daughter I would be so proud of you. Start saving again... Soon you will have a decent bank balance
I drive a 2012 kia soul! I am 19 and my mom was so kind to purchase it for me for my 16th birthday! she bought it used for around $5,000 I believe. The dealership cleaned it so well that it looked brand new and the previous owner took really good care of it and barely put any miles on it! It hasn't given me any problems since I have had it and I love it! You deserve this car, Clancy! you have worked really hard!!
Raven Martin I got a 2012 Kia Soul as well, love it to death!! Almost 200,000 miles and no problems 👌🏽
You made a wise choice Mazda quality is far better than Nissan
Don’t regret your decision. You work SO hard, you basically work 2 jobs. You deserve this 💛
Thank you, Morgan!!
Also women are so funny when it comes to “dream cars” can’t imagine this car has ever been anyone’s “dream car” before
Came here to leave the exact comment :).
Prepare to meet the second person to say this... "The Mazda CX-5 is my dream car."
I am fan of Mazda
I purchased my Mazda CX-5 a year ago and I am a still obsessed with my vehicle! You have NOT made a bad decision.
MAZDAS LAST A LIFETIME!!! You’re gonna love it once you get used to it girl!! And plus, you look soooooooo cute in it omg omg!! 😍😍😍😍 The white exterior and the black rims look soooooo good together!
The Clancy mobile 😂 Okay, that made me laugh for some reason. Girl, it’s fine, be excited! Now you have it and you won’t have to worry about it for a really long time! You can save instead of making car payments! I actually just financed a new 2018 Sentra, 6 months ago, and I love it. I hate the payments($290), but I love having the new car. So I’m good w it. 🤷🏼♀️ Congrats on the Clancy mobile!! Lol
Congrats on your new car 💕I always have just paid cash for cars I've had idk I'm just scared to ever have a car payment! I'm probably going to eventually have to get one but, I hope not!
Jenn Jones Thanks! Yeahhh, this is the first time I’ve financed, I figured I’d rather get something new that’s under warranty for the next 5 years, than get something older(and cheaper, that I could pay cash for), that has no warranty. That was really the main thing. Sucks having a payment, but, whatever. Haha :)
I used to be the same way, "why buy new?" However, this is how I look at it now. Get a new car and maintain it well and it can last like 15+ years. So, you spent like $25k for a car that can last 15ish years. Or.... keep buy used ( where you have no control over how it was previously maintained) and hope it lasts like 7 or 8 years. But, then you could end up spending like $40k+ for 2 used cars to last 15 years when your new one would have done it for $25k.
Andrea Stylen that is horrible logic. There are too many factors to determine longevity of a used car. If it’s a Toyota or Honda, it’s going to last until 300k-400k used.
Why do I literally feel sorry for the old car lol poor little guy. I’m so weird 😂
It’s a crap car!
You should have bought a cr-v. I like Mazda don't get me wrong. But Honda's are better reliability wise. Also rental you should have gotten a loaner
Midi Man nah oil dilation.
Buyers remorse is real. Cars are needs and you didn’t go crazy. You payed cash! Enjoy it
My husband and I just bought a new Mazda CX-5 back in April and we LOVE it!
Did you buy or finance it? Buying a car is what Clancy did by purchasing with cash. If you financed it you didn't buy anything the bank owns the car.
We are car twins same color and all 💖💖 yay us for having a reliable car!
You are better off with a Mazda...
Stay away from Nissan they have a bad marriage with Renult
Engine and transmission failure's
You dodged a bullet..
I disagree with your paying in cash if there was a low interest promo offer available.. which there probably was. I financed for 0.9%, paying with cash means you won’t be earning interest on that amount in a savings account.
I bought a brand new car and all I have had is problems after problems.
nathan mittelstadt what did you buy?
Love you Clancy! ❤️
Omg that car is beautiful! Congratulations ✨
Life is short. Buy what you want and deserve and don’t listen to what other people say. What’s the point of having money if you don’t enjoy life?
This will be me in June when I get my Subaru. My dad owns it now and he’s loves the remote start.
You seem hard working. You definitely needed the new car! It’s not like you bought a Lamborghini girl. Mazda is a smart purchase.
