tldr; Toyotas, Hondas, Trucks.

I’m surprised to see the Prius all the way down at 25.  Thought it would be higher than that.

I assume that drones will soon enter the discussion . . .

Fire the front mounted missiles to clear the lane of tourists going 10 below the speed limit in the left lane. 

He didn't go home that night. He celebrated with his mistress. 

If Americans were smart, the economy would collapse.

If I’m being cynical (and I usually am) the incentive is the opposite of teaching the recruits how to be financially literate. If they all finished their first service term with $60k in the bank and a ton of options for their path in life, there would be a lot fewer resigning for another term.

I’ll say it before and I’ll say it again. There should be exactly one criterion for graduating high school and being deemed a legal adult. And that criterion is demonstrating an understanding of how interest rates work. People can Google everything else as needed.

It’s not just dealerships. There are entire industries whose basic business model is preying on people who lack sufficient financial literacy.

Bizarre take. Do you work at a dealer or something? Presumably slinging Altimas to single moms at a 29% APR with the intention to repossess them later.

Car Dealerships around military bases are the worst. Kids with signing bonus are walking targets for these scumbags. The number of BH/PH lots around Ft. Meade filled with E-class, 5 Series and way too many Range Rovers waiting for their 3rd owner tells me they aren’t beating into the recruits about actually listening…

Make it illegal for dealerships to do much of the sh*t they do.

No dislike here. The system is absolutely set up to allow people to take advantage of financial illiterates. Car salespeople specifically are trained to distract from the total price and only talk about payments, making damn sure not to mention that those payments will continue for the better part of a decade.

Well the good news is I bet he knows all his state capitals and can play a hell of a tune on the recorder.

Talk about putting the steal in stealership. The worst of it is,this is perfectly legal.  

I’ve spent a lot of time learning about personal finance and I’m naturally very frugal. That said, I’m less inclined than I used to be about financial-shaming people. The deck is usually stacked, there’s a power imbalance, and a car purchase is usually not a discretionary luxury purchase for most people. This comment…

So, you're saying he needs a DeLorean?

Yea you obviously have never driven an Elantra N. There are Type R owners who have traded theirs in for one. It’s that serious.

6th gen Camaro SS 1LE.

Setting aside this vehicle China factor, vans really are the best vehicle for ultra-luxury due to interior volume. There’s room for full blown lazy-boy style seat with plenty of headroom when you have a low floor and high ceiling. SUVs have too high a floor and sedans have too low a ceiling.
