re: An OT topic reminded me of something Dave Ramsey is flat out wrong about

Im not a Ramsey fan anymore but I think he talks about beater cars in theory and not necessarily in up-to-date facts. You're right, he's out of touch with what the used car market is. I think what Ramsey is trying to tell people is that they shouldn't go more into debt to buy a car which is out of the means. Some people have no business driving the cars they do when they have 20k in credit card debt.
