Sell The Car! 

“Sell the car” is Dave’s equivalence of tech support’s “have you tried turning off and on your device”?

Don’t trade your kid for a car! At least not for a civic! That will become a classic line.

Got rid of my Cadillac about 20 min ago. It's my favorite car I've ever had, and I want to cry. But I feel piece that it was the right thing to do for my future. Thank you, Jesus for sending Ransey solutions to open my eyes.

like Dave says, you either tell your money where to go or you will wonder where it went

Selling the car would allow the caller to stop driving Amazon Flex to pay off that $27K. I say this b/c a $1K car would more than likely not be approved by Amazon to drive the Flex routes.

Um Dave, a 1K car is not available that even runs. Hopefully he has access to a car he can borrow if he sells his car.

Loved the "don't trade your car for a kid" line 🤣 . Should put that on a T-shirt!

Where is Dave getting these 1k cars from? Those don't exist today. It you can find it that cheap, it may not run, and would need lots of work.

They really need to stop peddling the $1k car, shit doesn’t exist anymore. A piece of shit car now is $4-6k and that’s a total pile of shit.

$1000 cars don't exist anymore. Maybe in 1995. Now that's a $3500 car.

$1,000 car!! Where you can buy that?? You can’t even get $5,000 for a decent car!!

Dr. John got a great laugh out of Dave

You talking to me?!? I’m not selling my financial nightmare 😂

The Civic could potentially last 20 years. If he buys a $1000 hoopdie its going to break down at the most inopportune times like when he is going to work, his side hustle, or picking up or dropping off his child at his Ex's. Just keep the Civic, continue the Amazon side hustle and work like a dog when he doesn't have his son and don't buy another car for the next 20 years.

Dave serious question here: Where on planet earth these days can you buy a car for 1000 bucks and it actually be safe and reliable transportation? And let’s not forget, he will be transporting his son in that car? I’ll be waiting for your answer.

Yeah I want to point out that getting a car for 1000$ is not a partical thing unless he gets really really lucky and it sounds like he needs his car.

You can't get a 1K car in this economy that actually runs. 5K is what you pay for "actually runs" and 10K is what I consider the threshold of "good enough for A-B." 1K won't even pass inspection. My first car was $1990 and it was a '98 Saturn SC1. I had to literally fill the crankcase with oil every time I filled the tank with gas. Every time I hit a hill greater than 30° I would watch my tachometer have a seizure and I would pray to God that I didn't stall. Next car I owned was $4998. It was a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse. The brakes all had to be immediately replaced. And the suspension. There were serious electrical issues. And an exhaust leak. After having the car for six months my catalytic converter literally fell off. I just left it on the side of the road 😂. It got me though school but it was such a massive POS and I went into debt just paying for repairs on it. I now drive a Corolla and I have no complaints. I gotta disagree with Dave somewhat here. Obviously don't buy a Bentley if you are in debt but a Honda Civic or a Toyota Corolla is a perfectly fine car to buy. They also will probably outlive you.

The thing is, he does "Amazon Flex". This job requires you to have your own vehicle. He aint gonna make it past 2 weeks doing deliveries in a $1,000 car.

There's nothing like having a quickie as they file for divorce.

4:26 "Don't trade a CIVIC for a Kid, for sure" 😂😂😂😂Dave bruh 😂

What kind of advice is that? Keep the car and pay it off in a year. It's not even half of his take home pay like they preach about. And, the $1,000 beater that existed 20 years ago doesn't anymore.

After they laugh their azzes off, I’m sure the guy had no issues with getting rid of the civic 🤣🤣🤣

Maybe it's a Type R? That's the only reason I would want to keep it

He could keep the car and just pay it off. 60k take home and under 30k debt? This could be done in a year or less.

Dr Baloney’s head was spinning when he said “I work 2-2-3”. 😂

I just sold my car too and I feel really great now 🎉

He drives for Amazon Flex, that requires using your OWN reliable car. If he gets a 1k car he won’t be able to do this anymore and will lose that income.

I don't think a $1,000 beater would survive his Amazon Flex job

Am literally in a similar situation. My daughter is 4. Me and her mom have been split for a little over two years. I have a great job that works with my schedule in having my daughter. The thing I’m struggling with is finding a new job more pay that’ll be flexible with the time I have my daughter. I’m able to make it to all her sports events, family things. Etc. it’s just the earning more income part I’m dealing with. I do Uber and DD when I don’t have her. Even if that means working 14hr days.

Where do they sell a good running $1000 car ? @Dave Ramsey , please show me . I want one.

Poor Tom! Any other time, they'd tell him the Civic is a good car choice. Still, if your choice is keeping a $20K loan on a car or spending time with your infant son, you sell the car yesterday. Only rich people buy brand new cars.

You gotta be careful working extra jobs when your main job is trucking.

The guy needs a car, and a honda civic is good basic transportation. He's going to need transportation for the visits with his kid..among other things. Selling it is a bad idea, he'll probably end up with a unreliable used car instead. I could see giving that advice to someone who spent 60K on a pickup.

Whats the urge on getting out of debt?? This is stupid Only 27k its not even a big deal wtf 20k car so what? Theres no 1k car anymore thats just stupid, keep the fking car and just pay it off as signed omfg

So, they signed the divorce papers, celebrated by doing it one last time and got a son out of it.

They gotta update their talking points. Used cars are half the price of a brand new civic 😂

$1000 to buy a car? That piece of garbage will cost you couple times of money to maintain. Maybe u should tell him to get a bike sounds more reasonable.

I’ve been waiting for this video title for years now!

Please tell me where you can get a $1000 car that actually has wheels, tires, and an engine that runs

I like our Civic. Great gas mileage, big trunk space. I could lose the shark fin, tho'.

What’s the payments, and length of loan? A $1000 vehicle will be high in mileage and possible high dollar in repairs. Keep car, side hustle to pay double car payments. You need a reliable vehicle. A $20k loan is only $375 a month, pay $700-$800 a month and pay off the car fast. Don’t sell the car

Happy Father's Day, Tom 😁

$1k car? GTFO

Off-Topic: What are your thoughts...A Teacher (0-16 years) in South Florida makes about 47,500 annual Gross Income, about 3,900 a month. Yet to rent an apartment (not a house) you have to have not excellent, but good credit, make 3 times the rent per month, and put down the first/last/security deposit. The average one-bedroom apartment is $2,000. The teacher would need to gross 6,000 a month to qualify to rent. Most teachers do not qualify for any assistance. How do they live and survive, when they can not get housing? (We are not talking about decent areas to live in/just housing). Denied for habitat for humanity house, don't make enough.

It's 2023 where are you finding a decent running car for $1000

The kid’s one…he’s not missing anything…pawn him off to family member here and there and work to pay off your debt now and spend time with him later

They're abusing this poor guy

A $1000 car ! 😂

Meh, I don't know. A Civic is a pretty responsible car theses days. And those things run forever.

Ummm...sooo whats the rush? You don't have time to work extra. Just slowly pat off your car and raise your baby

I love Dave but you cannot get a 1k car today. That should be updated to a 5 k car

We've a low mileage 2002 Chevy Prizm. People assumed we couldnt afford more. We paid it off in 2005, havent had a car payment since. Bought a 2017 Camry with 2550 miles 22 months ago for $18.2K. We only carry mortgage debt and its less than rent with ecsrow. Save now, kid is little and pay cash for a reliable 5 year old used car. Google true cost to own. Start saving for retirement and kids college NOW.

1k dollar car?? Lmao more like a broken down scooter!

Does Dave even know what kind of car you get for 1000 bucks?

I love that Dave and his team always put family first.

I think Dave needs to revisit how much cars used or new cost these days.

I drive a 20 year old Honda CRV with 250k miles on it. It's a great car that I can still get 2-3k for. Can't imagine what a POS 1k would get. Dave needs to adjust that 1k up to at least 3-4k.

You can't by a bicycle for $1000

I feel like theres an air of stress because of the custody issue. His car is less than half his income, and he can probably have it paid off in less than 2 years if he increases his payments. Nothing screams FIRE here. Or sell the car and snag a 10k civic and cut the debt by almost half? Idk seems like emotions are the problem here

If he does give up his days off with his kid the ex might take him to court and take that time from him legally for good claiming he won’t make time

5:40 omg lol Dave's naughty laugh

“SELL THE WIFE!!” 😂

It was a pump and dump not surprising in Greensboro Nc 😂from Kernersville

“Go getchu a $1000 car.” Maybe that existed like 20 years ago… good luck finding a beater for even $5K.

Sell the car and get a beater car.

I gave up a Civic for you!! Hilarious!

I sold my truck. Had 24k to pay on it BUT I am due in 2weeks with my 4th child and do not want to be STUCK clocking in for a freakin Truck 😂 I need to be able to cut back for a time to love my baby and help my older children with homework etc. so… will I miss my truck, sure, but it’s JUST A TRUCK lol

For 1000 dollars all you will get is a set of tires

Perfect Father's Day post.

"Sell the car" -Dave Ramsey Quote 😅

Yes time is precious, but its not like a one year is going to remember his dad missed one day of the week with him. I've had to leave my child for months at a time and it didn't take away from our relationship. He doesn't remember me not being there. I wouldn't sell the car either.

A $1000 car is not worth it as you will spend $1000’s on maintenance and not be reliable. However, we got a brand new hail damaged Rav4 for $17K (in 2018). Find something like that with 100K miles on it for $8000-10,000 and it will be reliable for years still but get you $10K+ out of debt. At some point safety and reliability need to factor in to Dave’s advice. But if you want a $20K car, you should be able to pay cash for it and have a substantial 401(k) balance already.

So I’m in a dilemma, I have 6 year old car. I owe a chunk of change. I’m literally broke. I want to sell the car because of well.. Dave and I want out of debt. My parents who make 6 figures are telling me not to get an older car because older car have problems but they design new stuff to not last on purpose to get you to buy the new. But parents saying gonna be harder to find the parts for older cars. Like it’s almost an excuse to keep the newer car and not get rid of it to get out of debt. I want Dave’s help! 😭

_"So your son is 2 but you've been divorced for 4 years?!"_ _"I'm very close with my ex."_

I’d tell him to sell the car but a $1,000 car is gonna be more trouble than it’s worth. See if you can find a good $5,000 car. Also instead of being with his son for 7 days in a 2 week period, I’d see if a family member could watch him for 8-10 hours on one of those days and pick up an extra side hustle shift.

They straight clownin'! on him on his slowness with his Civic!!

Probably downgrade to a 5K car withdrawal decent ac

Get a $1000 car??! They do not exist if you expect it to run.

he can Not drive over DOT regulated hours . Whether in a CDL truck or an uber . If he has a Crash and was driving more than 11 hours that day he could go to Prison as a CDL license holder . Sell the dang Car

Not sure about a $1k car in 2023, but I think a $3k to $5k car is reasonable, and that's still a $15k saving, and dude could get out of debt quicker.

Do all places make you pay the negative equity in full upfront in order to sell your financed car?

No offense intended but, every caller claims to be on Dave's program and every caller is still in financial trouble.

He’s not selling the car !

Dave is so out of touch. He really just said go get a $1k car. Good luck finding anything under $2k that runs.

I wouldn't go as far as budgeting $1,000 for a car. If you are paying $1,000 I would really look over it thoroughly because there is probably tons of rust, bent frame or something that will lead to big problems. I agree with Dave's plan he laid out but I'd sell the car and look for another one under $4,000. In that case he can get an older Toyota or Honda which he can buy with 100k miles on it and still get 100k miles out of it.

But Dave! I need the car to take pleasure rides to take my mind off my debt!

Here is whats missing and no one is talking about it. When you're a man and you are in a relationship the thing a woman wants to see the most is that you are stable and she can count on you. This is even more important when she is pregnant. If she says she is pregnant the next day the car would have been gone. She would have said "why". I would have said a baby is coming so i have to get on top of things and make sure that when she is due we are debt free and have $10k in the bank just in case.

I asked my boss for a raise. His response? Sell the car.

Time with a new model baby boy is definitely worth a $1,000 old model beater car. No shame in that!

Get um Dave!!! 😂

Funniest call in a while.

Don’t sacrifice money for family. When the job is over the family will still be there. Memories are better than money.

So I've heard Dave consistently tell people to buy a $1000 car. What kind of car can you actually buy for $1k these days? As far as I can tell, you'll get a rusty chunk of metal with a blown engine, broken transmission and no tires. If you buy some junky $1k car these days, you'll be putting $1k into fixing it within 30 days, then again within another 60 days, then regularly every 90 days for as long as you own that junk. It's going to constantly break down on you. Get something reliable. That's probably going to run you a minimum $5-6k. $1k just isn't going to get you anything these days. Dave seems so out of touch with everything in the real world.

Dave forgot that it takes 9 months from conception to birth.

What Ima drive then 😂😂😂

1000 dollar car?

Where are All of these wonderful 1k Cars he always talks about?

She baby trapped this man

Sir, sorry about your situation. Just know, if you give her more visitation time, she will take u back to court AND SHE WILL GET MORE CHILD SUPPORT. Keep your visitation time!

he is not selling car. thats why he kept on down low. poeple dont call in to get advice. if dave does not agree with them, they just do their way
