They may be buying them but that doesn’t mean they can afford to.

It’s great that someone kept this 26 year old car is such nice shape all these years. But the expected reward for that effort is too steep by nearly double. ND.

“. . . they will have to pay an extra $4,500 — which is about $100 more per month over a four-year period.”
