I'm sure this will get lots of downvotes, but if you need gap insurance, you can't fricking afford the car!!!

Now that I understand what GAP insurance is, we agree on this.

Haven't bought a vehicle in about 6 years. And this is the first time in my life that I can put a sizeable down payment on a vehicle. But after seeing where interest rates are and what the vehicle note is even putting half down, I said frick it. I don't want to pay even $500 a month on a 48 month note for a vehicle which puts the amount financed at $20k. Instead of buying the new truck, I increased how much I'm putting into my brokerage account so I can just pay cash for the next vehicle.
