I can’t believe people bought these new. Having dodged that bullet why would you buy one used? NFD.

Thoughts and prayers for anyone who has a Nissan Murano shaped void in there life...

10 grand for a 20-year old, rental-base spec Taurus with rust issues? GTFOH. The people who actually NEED this car -which is the dictionary definition of ‘basic transportation’- won’t be able to finance $10K on a 20-year old car. No one with 10 grand in cash on hand is rushing to buy this thing. ND a million times

The RX-8 is a fantastic idea.

Not for me, but I’m sure it’s a NP for someone. Pretty amazed it has no rust in PA. Sus.

When I was beater shopping I used to set the minimum price at $500 or $750 to weed out a lot of those. Didn’t work all the time but certainly helped a lot. 

Because a) I’ve been doing this shit for 25+ years and until they started charging for bags and reducing the seats to sizes adequate only for lilliputians, I never had any issues flying for business b) because I, much like a baby or a plus-sized person didn’t get a say with regard to my body type, although I know a

That pretty much sums up my feelings to, my initial reaction too, but the more I looked, the more I liked. Still a close call, but I picked nice price because the seller actually wrote a good ad, he is not “saling” his car, it doesn’t need or have good “breaks” or “need fixed”, no all caps, no don’t bother me with

Nearly $10k for a nearly 20 year old car that’s not really sought after? That seems absurd.

Let’s take it one step further:

Dumbest idea ever?

The joke of all this is that auto loans made in 2018 and 2019 are pretty much “in-the-money” on their cars, lol.

Some high credit scorers get high-priced loans.

Meh, course I wonder how much of this debt load is the result of people being such self-centered dumbasses. Instead of settling for a vehicle they know they can correctly afford, they sign up for EZ terms on some overpriced, option-loaded version that takes way too much of their take-home pay for (gag!) seven years or

I know one thing scarier than the car loans - is the software behind this website. It takes a pretty crazy amount of effort to crash Chrome browser with ads. Somehow they figured it out.

Maybe. Either way I just don’t feel sorry anymore.

Well then. It’s a good thing we haven’t spent the last 18 months feverishly purchasing every vehicle we can get our hands on for way to much money.

Credit scores gotta be one of the biggest crocks of shit ever.

“Spooky enough for you? Car buyers, regardless of credit score, are being stuck with high rates;

I’m puzzled about your seeming lack of basic financial concepts. A high credit score does not equate to the ability to pay off a loan. A person can have an 800+ score and be semi-employed or retired, so while they are

It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see where things go from here — just a passing look at what happened a decade ago.
