Guy in the sales stall next to me wanted to buy a new pilot. Sales guy told him he was so upside down on his trade it was going to be $1200 a month for 84 months. He said it was the best he could do. Dumb arse guy said let’s do it. Jesus Christ my house note isn’t but 1600 a month. People are stoopid when it comes to buying cars sometimes.

One might say he was determined to get into a new Honda Pilot.

I didn't realize you could even trade in a car that you're upside down on

A trade in should have no bearing on the negotiated price.

Fools and their money.

It’s amazing how the American buy confuses their “wants” with “needs”. Buy sets constantly say I “need”, and it triggers their justification to make a bad decision.

Maybe he woke up with this song on his mind-

Over $100k?

I hope he got leather.

And a reach around.

Maybe he plans to die soon.

Or maybe he knows the government is going to take everything away from us soon anyway.

It will all be worth it when his wife gets to drive through the car pool lane next week in a brand new Honda Pilot. All the other moms are going to be jealous.

84x1200=100,800.

The most expensive new pilot I could see near me was $46k. Think about that for a second...

Plenty of dumbasses to take that loan... who in the hell would write that loan. No way the vehicle secures the mortgage balance alone.

Even the top of the line Pilot trim is around $50k. A 72 month loan for $50k at 7% interest rate is around $850 a month. I doubt that guy is somehow $20k upside down on his trade in…because that seems awfully hard to do unless its been wrecked and not repaired, plus highly unlikely a bank would approve a loan that high above the new vehicle value.

Baw is probably only upside down by a small amount but his credit score sucks, so he’s getting a 15% interest rate

I traded in a put additional cash down when I bought my pilot. Wanted a note under $400/mo for 60 months. (Ended up with 373/mo for 60 with 2.1%)

Count not imagine 3x that for an additional 2 years…… people just rolling over the previous car into the next car…. What are the chances he goes to buy another vehicle in 3-4 years and has that much more upside down……

I just bought my wife a 2008 Toyota Corolla with 35K miles from a Nissan Dealership priced at $8K and got the out the door price at $10,200 after having a mechanic look at it. Feels great!
