Jacqueline Farrell+FollowCar Payments Over $1k?!Is anyone else freaking out about car payments? Over 20% of new car loans at the end of 2025 were more than $1,000 a month!

Unless something wild happens, car prices are only going up. Are we headed for a car loan crisis? #Cars #BuyingCar #CarLoans11Share
Jennifer Smith+FollowWhy I’m Still Rolling With My Old CarTurns out, hanging onto that 10-year-old car is actually a power move right now. New rides are crazy expensive, insurance is lower on older cars, and you skip that brutal depreciation hit. Plus, you already know all your car’s quirks, and fixing it yourself is way easier (and cheaper). Bonus: it’s better for the planet! Anyone else feel like their old car just got way cooler? #Cars #BuyingCar #CarLife20Share

From engine fails to glitchy infotainment systems, these trucks are more trouble than they’re worth. Save yourself the repair bills and check this list before you buy.

Douglas Hughes+FollowRam’s 10-Year Truck Warranty Is WildRam just dropped a game-changer: a 10-year/100,000-mile warranty for its 2026 trucks—way longer than what Ford or Chevy offer. This isn’t just for show; Ram listened to buyers and dealers who wanted more peace of mind. The catch? It’s only for the original owner, and EVs aren’t included. Still, if you’re eyeing a new Ram 1500 or even a Power Wagon, this warranty could seal the deal. Would you switch brands for this? #Cars #BuyingCar #RamTrucks01Share
Stephanie Lee+FollowNissan Z Outsells Supra—By a Mile!Nissan’s Z is absolutely crushing it in the US—selling nearly twice as many as the Toyota Supra in 2025!

And get this: a manual Z Nismo is coming soon, so the hype’s not dying down anytime soon. Supra fans, how are we feeling? #Cars #BuyingCar #NissanZ10Share
Colleen Jones+Follow370Z Nismo part-out: Tacoma’s hidden gemA 2017 Nissan 370Z Nismo with just 36,000 miles is up for a full part-out in Tacoma, and it’s still running strong despite rear-end damage.

The seller’s even willing to ship parts nationwide. If you’ve got a build in mind or need hard-to-find components, this could be your chance. Which parts would you grab first for your own ride? #Cars #BuyingCar #Nissan370Z00Share
