$25K car is a "budget" car these days? Hehe :-)

The last car I bought is a Toyota Echo 2002, in 2017, for $1600. That's 
one thousand dollars, plus another 600 dollars! The damn thing is 
indestructible. I have not spent one penny on any repairs on it for the 
past 8 years. I don't consider changing a tire or two, or oil and filter 
change or insurance and registration and inspection costs as "repair" of 
course, cause those stuff are routine, not a failure on the car's part.

It runs great. With one gallon of fuel it travels between 35 to 40 
miles. I drive the diameter of this humongous Dallas metroplex with it 
and the fuel gauge needle hardly even feels it.

Paying $25K for a car is what keeps many true Americans from emigrating 
to Russia. As long as they're charging you 1562% more than you need to 
pay, believe me you'll keep them here!
