I know lots of people that live by the motto, "why spend my cash if someone will loan me cash". My motto is....If it didn't cost so much to use someone else's money, I would be as well. Unless it is near 0%.....No thanks.
The underlying problem is that new car prices are so incredibly high that you have people taking out 7 to 10 year loans on a car to make the payment affordable. This right here is ridiculous. If you can not afford the payment on a 3-5 year loan you can not afford the car.
Banks and more specifically the scumbag “finance manager” at the dealerships are mostly to blame. They hard sell and make promises that are outright lies just to get you to sign the deal. Not many people have any clue about financial decision making and they focus on the payment and not the total cost and liability. you can afford that $850 a month payment now, but will you in 10 years when you are making a $850 a month payment plus $450 a month repairs? and the required full coverage insurance is double that of the base 3 year old used civic that would have worked perfectly for your family.
Cars are Liabilities, and people do not understand that because nobody dares point it out that they are not an investment in any way, and you should never ever buy something with a very long term loan on it. even at 0% interest it’s still a bad financial decision to have a liability of a loan over your head for 7 years on something that depreciates rapidly.
