New job offer include a company car with all gas and insurance paid for $200/month payroll deduction. Is it worth it?

Since it is a company car, no repair bills, no license fees, free gas and insurance. I can drive it for personal use all I want without reporting anything. With the unstable price of gas that our senile grifter president has created, this might be a little better than it sounds.

No, it isn't worth it! That deal has you paying for the company's car doing company business. In addition to that, you won't have control of the insurance policy because the beneficiary would be the company, not anyone else. Always keep company business (including cars) separate from your own affairs. If the company was truly offering you anything of value, it would cost you 'zero' each month, not $200. Don't fall for that 'company car' crap-trap if you can avoid it!
