Not to mention the scale of payment, easily seized collateral, and there are alternatives for transport. It’s just not the same as the mortgage crisis.

Yea, that’s why days inventories are single digits in a lot of cases (18 days industry average) and profits are maintaining - no one wants to buy new vehicles. You do you, though.

It took me <5 min at the SoS in Michigan to walk out titled and plated (maybe 1 hour total effort for all steps involved: loan, insurance, titling).
