Kias have a 10 year, 100k mile warranty. Seems like a pretty rational decision. Should go the distance before it starts burning oil. 

I truly believe that there are no people that stupid to take that kind of loan, I mean you have to be seriously professional and specially retarded to be able to do that

True, but you’d get at least SOME people who’d absorb and retain the knowledge, which is better than what we have now. For a good chunk of Millennials, Computer Literacy was a REQUIRED class in high school (at least it was for us in California nearly 20 years ago), which has helped build a solid foundation in the…

It’ll never happen. Too many companies profit tremendously off people being ignorant, and tons of lobbying happens by those companies to make sure it stays that way. 

Honestly it’s not a bad sales strategy, although it’s incredibly sleazy (what used car salesman isn’t?). Giving advice that seems honest is probably effective at getting naive people to trust you, and therefore trust that when you sell them a car, they are getting a fair deal and being taken care of.

That only works for people that have a desire to learn.  You can lead a horse to water...

I thought this was going to be an article about a young Army recruit who just got his first paycheck.

I’ve somehow seen worse: A $2,000/mo payment on a then-new Challenger Scat Pack on a several-year loan. Most of the payment had nothing to do with the car itself. What gives? Well, the girl I was dating had a knack for driving fast cars, but never actually making more than a few months of payments. Her previous cars…

From one of my FB Car Sales groups, guy was trying to get this approved and was asking everyone why the bank sent back a “Reduce by $94,811"

We really ought to have some sort of required financial literacy education in this country...

Looking at buying a KIA. Further compounding her mistakes.

“but this was something she didn’t think about at the time because she really needed a car.”

When all else fails, insurance fraud is the answer.

Yeah, but that TruCoat...

car it was $15,000, but they threw in gap insurance, which brought the amount up to $20,000

These have to be made up callers. Who is actually taking car buying advise from a car salesman? I wouldn’t believe a word he says.

Yeah the only front drum brake I've ridden is a CM250C and I swear my MTB has more powerful brakes

It does have a (later, UJM derived) front drum brake added over stock, but yeah probably not great. I daily drove a ‘84 CM450E for years that had drums front and rear and it was...perfectly adequate but no more than that.

That sure looks like a front drum brake to me. Aftermarket?

Motorcycles are fun but driving one in traffic is an almost guaranteed way to not live to 100. At least in one piece.
