Welcome to the Ideal Millennial Entrepreneur Podcast.
00:00:35.820 --> 00:00:37.688
I am your host, amir Estimo.
00:00:37.688 --> 00:00:47.771
Thank you for tuning in in today's podcast episode, because you could be doing anything in this world, but the fact that you are listening to this podcast episode is much appreciated.
00:00:47.771 --> 00:00:53.865
First and foremost, I would like to just give you guys an update.
00:00:53.865 --> 00:01:08.635
The podcast has actually been rebranded from Thank Generational Wealth to Ideal Millennial Entrepreneur Podcast, and some of you may wonder why was that done?
00:01:08.635 --> 00:01:18.081
Well, the reason for that being done was because it was actually really time for the podcast to be rebranded.
00:01:18.923 --> 00:01:33.030
And one thing about podcasting is, especially if you're trying to grow, about podcasting is especially if you're trying to grow is finding that niche and where do you fit in basically?
00:01:33.030 --> 00:01:35.275
Or who is your target demographic and the ideal listener?
00:01:35.275 --> 00:01:52.796
And basically you're trying to have an idea of who can listen to this podcast and have a who can learn from this podcast, you know, find some information about his podcast and can basically, in a sense, you know, grow.
00:01:52.796 --> 00:01:56.003
You know there's some information that this podcast share.
00:01:56.003 --> 00:01:58.566
Who's the ideal listener?
00:01:58.566 --> 00:02:03.015
And for a while I have been thinking about that.
00:02:03.015 --> 00:02:09.747
I have been thinking about that and I just had to say I didn't really know exactly what I wanted to do.
00:02:09.747 --> 00:02:19.073
I never really thought about a niche really like that, because some people would say, well, you got a niche and because it's better and you know if you're talking to.
00:02:19.073 --> 00:02:24.072
If you're, you don't have a niche, you're talking to everybody and everybody gets you know.
00:02:24.072 --> 00:02:28.707
Basically, in a sense, doesn't really vibe with, may not vibe with your message.
00:02:28.707 --> 00:02:30.211
Some the people who do.
00:02:30.211 --> 00:02:47.675
Then you say, okay, these are the people that you would expect to listen to this podcast, and for me, for a while, that was what I was basically battling with, and also, too, just to make the title more SEO friendly too at the same time.
00:02:48.379 --> 00:02:53.715
But the real reason is I've always thought about myself being born.
00:02:53.715 --> 00:02:59.585
So millennial is considered anybody born between 1981 to 1994.
00:02:59.585 --> 00:03:03.911
I've even seen anybody born from 1981 to 1996.
00:03:03.911 --> 00:03:10.120
So let's just go with either or it doesn't matter, but we know the beginning part is 1981.
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:26.782
And I said to myself well, I feel that when it comes to this podcast, that that could be my target audience, anybody in that, my target audience, anybody in that.
00:03:26.782 --> 00:03:33.969
Because if I share any message, because I'm coming from a perspective of being a cause, most people probably my age is either they could be an entrepreneur or they're a nine to five employee.
00:03:33.969 --> 00:03:51.304
But for me I fit in kind of both that realm of nine to five, have a nine to five and then working on your five to nine, have a nine to five and then working on your five to nine, and also to probably married.
00:03:51.304 --> 00:04:01.418
You could be maybe even single, but your parent because there's some things I'm talking about on the podcast could be from the eyes or the lens of someone who's a parent, maybe married, etc.
00:04:01.418 --> 00:04:18.673
So, but within that range, and not to say that anybody who listened to this podcast couldn't really learn from it, but from the, from the, from the perspective of who can really listen to this podcast and who's this podcast, for that's probably the target audience.
00:04:18.673 --> 00:04:25.367
But anybody can learn, because there could be a title I talk about here and anybody can learn from that, this topic.
00:04:25.447 --> 00:04:38.702
So to me, the podcast just needed to be rebranded and I think that hopefully this is, you know, not a knock and not to say that, oh, I'm just like really targeting this, this, this demographic.
00:04:38.702 --> 00:04:46.634
Yes, I am, but at the same time, at the same time, anybody can listen to this information.
00:04:46.634 --> 00:04:52.853
So if you're, you're someone who's on the path of being an entrepreneur, let's say, you want to be a land investor.
00:04:52.853 --> 00:05:20.000
You know, because for us people my age and my age range, we are either building wealth or beginning to build wealth or not, because a lot of the information that we could have learned, maybe at home, maybe we didn't have a parent, maybe we come from Caribbean background, or we come from an immigrant background, whatnot, and we just didn't have that knowledge.
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:33.507
So I feel, hopefully this podcast resonates with you and if it still does, please like and share the podcast and subscribe to the podcast if you enjoy this content.
00:05:33.507 --> 00:05:45.634
This content comes out every Wednesday, 6 am Central Standard Time and the goal is to hopefully build a community of like minded individuals where we're not gatekeeping information but we're sharing.
00:05:45.634 --> 00:05:46.574
But anyway.
00:05:46.615 --> 00:06:04.531
So the podcast, today's episode, that's besides that, but today's episode I'm going to talk about electric versus hybrid, versus if you are in a car market today, versus gas, I guess.
00:06:04.531 --> 00:06:07.838
But if you're in the car market today, how do you feel about the car market?
00:06:07.838 --> 00:06:10.245
Like, how do you feel about the auto market today?
00:06:10.245 --> 00:06:26.211
As we can see, the auto market, cars are now extremely

expensive and it's probably going to get even more expensive due to the tariffs that Trump is proposing and how is it going to be to buy a car these days?
00:06:26.211 --> 00:06:32.192
I mean, like, if you've been in the market or have been in the market or was in the market, what, what?
00:06:32.192 --> 00:06:34.367
What was your thoughts about buying a car?
00:06:34.367 --> 00:06:37.627
Because I haven't bought a car since old one.
00:06:37.668 --> 00:06:47.913
So, for me, I first started off and I bought a, actually leased the car for probably about 2016, up until 21.
00:06:47.913 --> 00:06:50.788
I was 23 or 24.
00:06:50.788 --> 00:06:52.365
I was actually leasing a car.
00:06:52.365 --> 00:06:55.548
I actually leased two vehicles.
00:06:55.548 --> 00:06:56.863
My wife, we list.
00:06:56.863 --> 00:07:00.826
We leased three, the final vehicles.
00:07:00.826 --> 00:07:07.360
We end up just buying vehicles.
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:08.882
We end up just buying.
00:07:08.882 --> 00:07:21.120
And let me tell you something, folks if you have an option to either lease or finance a vehicle, either do one or the other at that moment and what I mean by that is when you lease and then you end up financing later, it actually costs you more money.
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:23.843
So that's a lesson learned for me and my wife.
00:07:24.365 --> 00:07:28.329
When I actually broke down, I forgot there was somebody I seen on YouTube.
00:07:28.329 --> 00:07:33.255
Because we were, we were thinking about OK, who can we, what can we do?
00:07:33.255 --> 00:07:36.427
And like, what would be what?
00:07:36.427 --> 00:07:37.209
What was our option?
00:07:37.209 --> 00:07:39.302
Do we continue leasing and like?
00:07:39.302 --> 00:07:44.372
For example, I leased my very first Honda Accord Sport.
00:07:44.372 --> 00:07:49.841
I leased my very first Honda Accord Sport.
00:07:49.841 --> 00:07:54.387
So I had a Honda Accord Sport and I had that car from 2018 up until 20.
00:07:54.387 --> 00:07:57.112
I had that car from 2018 to 2021.
00:07:58.153 --> 00:08:12.069
And I got back in another lease and that vehicle I ended up leasing from 21 to 24 or 23 or something, something that like two or three years, and then I end up end up buying the vehicle.
00:08:12.069 --> 00:08:18.108
Um, I ended up buying this last vehicle, which was a 21 Honda Accord hybrid.
00:08:18.108 --> 00:08:27.560
I went to a hybrid route this time and but then when I was, my lease was up and I said, okay, you know, maybe I should just look at leasing again.
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:34.769
And I mean the lease payment jumped like 200 bucks so that you could tell the market shifted.
00:08:34.769 --> 00:08:37.568
And then for me it was in my wax car.
00:08:37.568 --> 00:08:42.513
We leased it originally from 2016 to I think about 2019.
00:08:42.513 --> 00:08:56.230
We had a car released a Honda CRV, and then all suddenly then we went from 19 and 21, released a pilot, and then we released another pilot in 21 to 23 or 24.
00:08:56.230 --> 00:08:56.793
Same thing.
00:08:56.793 --> 00:09:03.186
So both our cars, the final ones, we end up leasing, we end up financing at the end.
00:09:03.687 --> 00:09:18.163
But yeah, and when I really thought about it, at the end I said, man, and then even my wife's car, we went to go lease again when our lease was up and then when we want to go back in the market to go find another vehicle, because I was OK, I was looking at a couple of vehicles.
00:09:18.163 --> 00:09:22.761
So this is what I was saying what if you're in the market, what really fits you?
00:09:22.761 --> 00:09:28.722
So for me, I went from gas to hybrid and I just thought about it.
00:09:28.722 --> 00:09:31.534
I went from gas to hybrid and I just thought about it.
00:09:31.534 --> 00:09:34.924
I said, man, you know, if I bought a high, if I bought a gas, I kind of liked that hybrid.
00:09:34.924 --> 00:09:39.115
I kind of liked because I looked into the hybrids and Honda had some.
00:09:39.115 --> 00:09:43.171
It was a really good deal at the time too, and Honda's had some really good hybrids.
00:09:43.171 --> 00:09:52.111
So for me it was like okay, um, it was a combination of well, if you gas your car, if you're fueling your car, that's one thing.
00:09:52.653 --> 00:10:02.080
But at the same token too, when it comes to the environment, I was kind of like in that moment like, well, you know, at least electric vehicle sounds great.
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:13.091
But then, when I looked into electric vehicles, first of all I was looking, uh, probably since uh 20 before I had leased that vehicle in 21.
00:10:13.091 --> 00:10:18.682
Um, I was looking at a Tesla and I was looking at like that was my car.
00:10:18.682 --> 00:10:23.966
I had a, I had a wallpaper or screensaver or whatever you call it, of a Tesla.
00:10:23.966 --> 00:10:25.892
I was like I was going to get a Tesla.
00:10:25.892 --> 00:10:41.615
And then I happened to watch a TikTok of Kevin Frazier explaining his reason, explaining the whole electric, how electric vehicle works, and and at the end I was like man, this sounds more like an inconvenience.
00:10:41.615 --> 00:10:47.336
But then when I thought about it is for me is someone who works from home.
00:10:47.336 --> 00:10:53.565
I work from home twice a day, twice a week.
00:10:53.565 --> 00:10:58.802
Sorry, I work from home twice a week and then I go to the office three times a week.
00:10:58.802 --> 00:11:07.070
So that really wouldn't have mattered in retrospect if I had probably just went with an electric vehicle.
00:11:07.390 --> 00:11:11.721
I'm someone I don't like taking long trips on a vehicle.
00:11:11.721 --> 00:11:12.783
I don't really like driving.
00:11:12.783 --> 00:11:15.139
I'm not someone who enjoys driving a lot.
00:11:15.139 --> 00:11:24.784
I'm okay with just if I need to get somewhere flying.
00:11:24.784 --> 00:11:30.606
I'm not someone that enjoys at all enjoys driving on a long road trip.
00:11:30.606 -->
00:11:33.615
The most you probably get out of me is maybe three to four hours.
00:11:33.615 --> 00:11:34.035
That's just.
00:11:34.035 --> 00:12:01.032
That's just what it is for me, because it's just, um, when I grew up, growing up, especially when I went to college, I was really the only person that had a vehicle, and with all my friends so if we needed to take a long road trip and on top of that was manual so no one really drive manual and I had a car, so we were trying, we would be driving everywhere, pretty much Florida, go to Tallahassee, and weekends We'd go to Daytona, go to Miami, go back home.
00:12:01.032 --> 00:12:08.514
So for me it was just the thrill of driving is just not there sitting in a car for X amount of hours.
00:12:08.514 --> 00:12:10.059
It just was not my thing anymore.
00:12:10.059 --> 00:12:18.212
But now I mean, if you're going somewhere close to two-hour proximity, okay, I can hop on a car, drive boom and get there.
00:12:18.212 --> 00:12:21.120
But we're talking like you're taking a six, seven, eight hour.
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:23.955
I have a limit, more like four hours and that's it.
00:12:23.955 --> 00:12:28.542
I live in Texas and I've had to travel to San Antonio.
00:12:28.542 --> 00:12:30.264
From Dallas to San Antonio.
00:12:30.264 --> 00:12:33.618
That's five hours and I probably I don't know.
00:12:33.678 --> 00:12:46.421
That's kind of a hit or miss for me, but for me that was my thought process at the moment, because when Kevin Frazier was mentioning that was like it was mentioning the income, it was mentioning basically his experience with having an electric vehicle.
00:12:46.421 --> 00:12:50.340
Now, you know when a vehicle needs to be juiced up again.
00:12:50.340 --> 00:12:58.774
I mean, you still have the same maintenance Basically, you just don't have to gas up your car and then you just have to.
00:12:58.774 --> 00:13:04.063
Basically, if you have a Tesla, then you can charge it at your home.
00:13:04.063 --> 00:13:09.135
I mean, it was just at that moment I said, man, is it even worth really getting an electric vehicle?
00:13:09.135 --> 00:13:09.476
I don't know.
00:13:09.476 --> 00:13:11.418
So at that moment I said, man, you know, is it even worth really getting an electric vehicle?
00:13:11.418 --> 00:13:11.700
I don't know.
00:13:11.700 --> 00:13:15.705
So at that moment I said this looks like more of a convenience, inconvenience for me than convenience.
00:13:15.705 --> 00:13:19.511
So I went the hybrid route.
00:13:19.511 --> 00:13:23.763
I like the fact that you still have the electric aspect and you have the gas aspect.
00:13:24.850 --> 00:13:28.961
I knew, I knew I kind of wanted to get out of that gas for me personally.
00:13:28.961 --> 00:13:34.442
Now, my wife's car is gas, but for me that car burns gas, in my opinion.
00:13:34.442 --> 00:13:42.350
So if you're looking at a Honda Pilot, Honda Pilots do burn gas, so that for me it was just like okay.
00:13:42.350 --> 00:13:49.254
Well,
now I'm looking at it and really looking at it and thinking about it three years later.
00:13:49.254 --> 00:14:00.120
Now my daughter is 18 and she eventually needs her own vehicle and the thought process is OK, do I share?
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:06.644
Do I give her my car with my car payment and do I give the wire We'll get another car?
00:14:06.644 --> 00:14:08.024
And if I were getting another car, what?
00:14:08.024 --> 00:14:10.586
What car would I actually be looking at?
00:14:10.586 --> 00:14:13.567
Do I go fully electric or I stay within the hybrid range?
00:14:19.529 --> 00:14:25.250
And I think for me, um, I think, looking at it now, first of all, electric vehicles are extremely expensive right now and you have to basically really shop around to really find a good deal.
00:14:25.250 --> 00:14:39.136
I mean Tesla's, you know that's probably the number one right now in the US, and then you have all these other car companies, from Hyundai, from Kia, to every company in their mama now is in the electric vehicle market.
00:14:39.136 --> 00:14:47.865
But my question to myself and anybody else who's in that market is if you go get something that's not really a Tesla, how does that work?
00:14:47.865 --> 00:14:53.157
As far as you know, charging station, you know, does it fully charge the range?
00:14:53.157 --> 00:14:54.860
How much range can you get?
00:14:54.860 --> 00:15:02.885
Because the hybrid I currently own right now is that I can get up to 492 miles of range on there.
00:15:03.366 --> 00:15:17.634
So, and I remember during the pandemic, when we were in kind of in the height of the pandemic, I was going, maybe when I was working from home, primarily because I spent two years working from home and then primarily I was just.
00:15:17.634 --> 00:15:19.357
I was just.
00:15:19.357 --> 00:15:22.043
I would go maybe two weeks, three weeks, not even fill up the car.
00:15:22.043 --> 00:15:26.140
But now that I'm on the road more, I'm pretty much filling up every week.
00:15:26.140 --> 00:15:30.672
But I can go a week and a half on a hybrid and not have to fill it up.
00:15:30.672 --> 00:15:36.716
So my question then was okay, how much range are we really losing now If it's not basically the Tesla?
00:15:36.716 --> 00:15:43.839
I mean Tesla, I think I've heard it goes up to like 350 miles of range.
00:15:43.839 --> 00:15:48.128
So I just had to say, okay, well, now that's one.
00:15:48.128 --> 00:15:50.636
Do I go fully electric or I stay within the hybrid range?
00:15:50.789 --> 00:16:07.360
I know for myself I can't do gas, because especially going to work and when I do have to go to office where I can really save more gas on, is really either hybrid or electric, because because of my wife's car, we're putting anywhere between 100.
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:10.254
My wife's car, we're putting anywhere between a hundred.
00:16:10.254 --> 00:16:18.038
I mean, sometimes we're only really filling up once a week, but for the most part sometimes it'd be twice a week, depending on you know how much activity she got going outside of.
00:16:18.038 --> 00:16:26.812
Just you know, cause she works from home, but just from her normal driving around, going somewhere here and there, dropping kids off to school.
00:16:26.812 --> 00:16:28.797
How much are we really filling up?
00:16:28.797 --> 00:16:31.410
So that was an aspect.
00:16:31.410 --> 00:16:38.553
We have to kind of find that medium, because now with gas prices I mean gas prices especially here in Texas it's not too bad.
00:16:38.553 --> 00:16:48.965
I mean, you're getting anywhere between $2.59 a gallon, $2.79 a gallon, somewhere in that range, but in some states you're probably paying $3.50, $3.70.
00:16:48.965 --> 00:16:53.000
Somewhere in that range, but in some states you're probably paying $350, $370.
00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:54.322
So now you have to shift more towards going.
00:16:54.363 --> 00:16:54.865
Do I go electric, hybrid?
00:16:54.865 --> 00:16:56.087
How do we find that balance?
00:16:56.087 --> 00:17:02.263
And that's why I'm asking you is if you're in the market, what are you looking at?
00:17:02.263 --> 00:17:06.679
What's important to you when it comes to electric, hybrid or gas car?
00:17:06.679 --> 00:17:09.253
And if you go electric, why?
00:17:09.253 --> 00:17:12.032
Because even for me I'm looking at it and it's okay.
00:17:12.314 --> 00:17:17.897
At first it didn't make sense, but now, going back now and looking at it and saying, well, maybe it probably would have been.
00:17:17.897 --> 00:17:23.452
It's not as bad, because if you're not taking long road trips, you're someone like me, I don't.
00:17:23.452 --> 00:17:24.233
It's not.
00:17:24.233 --> 00:17:32.320
Like you know, we travel Houston a lot or travel to San Antonio or Austin, if there was any of those three.
00:17:32.320 --> 00:17:38.287
It's not that bad comparing those three hours, four hours, five hour drives.
00:17:38.287 --> 00:17:45.877
Austin is three hours, houston is about four or five hours give or take, and then San Antonio is about five hours.
00:17:45.877 --> 00:17:53.963
But we don't go to those places very often, and then when we do travel out, it's either outside the country or outside the state.
00:17:53.963 --> 00:18:10.873
So to me, um, and, and if that happens I'm fine, but now, especially these days, with all these plane crashing and stuff like that, you know it makes you, it makes you have to rethink that too, even that aspect of it.
00:18:10.893 --> 00:18:13.944
But anyways, if you're in the market for yourself, you know you're looking at a vehicle, what, what are you looking at?
00:18:13.944 --> 00:18:16.255
What's important to you, you know, is it?
00:18:16.255 --> 00:18:23.198
You know what, what, what do you find that's important to you when you're making this car decision, especially in today's market?
00:18:23.198 --> 00:18:26.795
Because it just looks like cars right now are extremely expensive.
00:18:26.795 -->
00:18:38.607
I mean, I was looking at a car I think it was the Honda Prologue, I think they call it Prologue or Prologue, whatever and that car they're asking like $60,000, $65,000.
00:18:38.607 --> 00:18:41.321
I'm like, for a car, like, wow, where did this come from?
00:18:41.321 --> 00:18:42.710
$65,000?
00:18:42.710 --> 00:18:47.894
I can never see myself spending that money for a car, I mean $65,000, is outrageous in.
00:18:52.205 --> 00:18:58.298
Well, I'm going back and saying this too, that it's probably better if you just finance or lease.
00:18:58.298 --> 00:18:59.988
Look at those two options.
00:18:59.988 --> 00:19:02.012
If you're going to lease, continue leasing.
00:19:02.012 --> 00:19:05.633
If you're going to finance, you know that.
00:19:05.633 --> 00:19:07.259
Okay, you're going to have this vehicle.
00:19:07.259 --> 00:19:09.166
This is actually the vehicle you actually want.
00:19:09.166 --> 00:19:22.054
So that's where you got to really think about it, because at the end you don't really, with the lease, the thing is is that you actually end up like a car that probably would have cost you if you had just financed it.
00:19:22.054 --> 00:19:28.817
Maybe, let's say, let's say you went finance route 25,000 base price and then, after everything, let's say 30.
00:19:29.685 --> 00:19:47.567
I think for me, in my opinion, is when you go lease to finance, it's probably you're paying maybe five to six thousand dollars more I, and on top of that you really don't have because of what the dealer does or wherever you lease from.
00:19:47.567 --> 00:20:12.614
What they do is at the end of your lease let's say that three year term after that end of that lease, what they do is they have a price that they say, hey, this is, this is the bottom price, and there's really no negotiation on your end versus if you were to go just buy a car and finance a car from the get-go, you can probably you have more negotiation power, um, and I didn't realize that until the end of our lease.
00:20:12.614 --> 00:20:17.473
And then it was like, well, I was like, hey, you know, no, no, what the dealer has, that that's it.
00:20:17.473 --> 00:20:20.479
So you know, that's what they think the value of the car is.
00:20:20.479 --> 00:20:22.409
So that was a to me a con.
00:20:22.409 --> 00:20:31.817
Um, you end up finding later on from lease to finance, that if you go that route, just know that, if you go that route, it's going to be.
00:20:31.817 --> 00:20:41.354
You're going to have to think about that because in that car you probably end up that was like 21.
00:20:41.354 --> 00:20:42.758
Let's say you got that car and at the end it's like 21.
00:20:42.758 --> 00:20:52.914
That's what they're saying hey, the car is work, but if you probably finance it again, you can probably cheat, get it down maybe 19, 18, depending and then you have a smaller monthly payment.
00:20:52.914 --> 00:21:05.951
So those are some cons that I really realized, learning on going from that
lease to finance route, that you don't have the negotiation power and it actually end up costing you more in the long run.
00:21:06.653 --> 00:21:16.817
Now, if you go the leasing route, obviously leasing you're going to pay a little bit less money currently versus finance, and that depends on if you put a lot of money down.
00:21:16.817 --> 00:21:22.796
But at the end, what's important to you Is it hey, are you traveling a lot?
00:21:22.796 --> 00:21:30.751
If you lease, you know that you have a mile that you can't hit, and if you go over that, then at the end of the day you might as well.
00:21:30.751 --> 00:21:42.462
If you're someone that drives 15,000, 20,000 miles a year and you're only allowed eight eight, let's say you're allowed 12,000 miles, which is your max, then probably leasing is not for you.
00:21:42.462 --> 00:21:43.887
You might as well just finance a vehicle.
00:21:43.887 --> 00:21:50.009
But if you're driving that much too, within three years that's like 60,000 miles you're putting in your vehicle.
00:21:50.009 --> 00:21:54.086
That is a lot of wear and tear already and that means you're going to have to.
00:21:54.086 --> 00:22:01.886
You're going to probably end up I mean, most vehicle independent on the brand is you're probably going to end up spending more money anyways down the long run.
00:22:01.886 --> 00:22:06.647
So I just wanted to share this with you guys, just kind of get you guys the thoughts on.
00:22:07.249 --> 00:22:09.473
Thinking about the market today, especially here in the U?
00:22:09.473 --> 00:22:13.888
S, is why cars, like cars, are so, so expensive.
00:22:13.888 --> 00:22:15.794
Now, it's just extremely expensive.
00:22:15.794 --> 00:22:17.617
And is it even worth it?
00:22:17.617 --> 00:22:20.413
Is it good to just continue leasing a vehicle?
00:22:20.413 --> 00:22:23.193
And if you do lease, what type of vehicle are you looking at?
00:22:23.193 --> 00:22:24.851
You know it's good that we have options.
00:22:24.851 --> 00:22:30.406
I think that's the good best thing that could have happened in the auto market was having an option.
00:22:30.406 --> 00:22:38.176
Just because back then it was always either gas and if you're growing up, my time you had manual, you had a manual automatic and that was it.
00:22:38.176 --> 00:22:39.047
But they're all gas.
00:22:39.047 --> 00:22:43.877
There was never really electrical, there was hybrid and then there's gas.
00:22:43.877 --> 00:22:47.816
It was just, it was, it was gas and that was it.
00:22:47.816 --> 00:22:55.555
And now the fact that now we have all these options, you can go look at an electrical vehicle, you can go look at a hybrid, you can look at a gas or stay with a gas vehicle.
00:23:00.765 --> 00:23:02.028
I mean, do you like trucks?
00:23:02.048 --> 00:23:02.631
Do you like mid-sized vehicles?
00:23:02.651 --> 00:23:03.373
Do you like full-size vehicles?
00:23:03.373 --> 00:23:04.517
Do you like, uh, kind of like, what they call mini scvs?
00:23:04.517 --> 00:23:09.450
You know something like a crv, something like a toyota raft 4 um.
00:23:09.450 --> 00:23:16.815
And then, what matters to you brand, you know, have you always been someone who's stick to toyota or he's always been someone that stick to Honda?
00:23:16.815 --> 00:23:19.932
And what is what's those matters to you, is it?
00:23:19.932 --> 00:23:21.737
Hey, I need longevity.
00:23:21.737 --> 00:23:31.636
Most brands that you know Honda's, toyota's, et cetera, is you're going to get longevity and you know you can run those cars 100, 120, 100.
00:23:31.636 --> 00:23:34.050
You can get those, those cars, when you're keeping up with the maintenance.
00:23:34.050 --> 00:23:35.556
Those could be a good thing.
00:23:35.556 --> 00:23:38.143
You can get those cars on you keeping up with the maintenance.
00:23:38.143 --> 00:23:39.005
Those could be a good thing.
00:23:41.924 --> 00:23:44.942
So, anyways, today's podcast was basically just me kind of sharing with you guys that hey, if you're in the market today, what are you thinking?
00:23:44.942 --> 00:23:45.265
What do you see?
00:23:45.265 --> 00:23:50.934
Is it even worth it right now to be in the market to buy a vehicle?
00:23:50.934 --> 00:23:52.898
Or you just go the leasing route?
00:23:52.898 --> 00:23:55.306
