re: Is it super dumb to finance a vehicle for 72 months?

In general, it's dumb to finance a vehicle at all, unless you are getting a really low rate.

really low rate.
What's a really low rate to you all? Was presented some preliminary numbers for a note yesterday and they seemed really high. When I asked what interest rate they were using they told me those numbers were based on the average customer who gets around 8%!!! That blew my mind. I've never financed for anything over 4% and that was right out of college. We did 72 months yesterday at 2.4%. 60 months was 1.9%. This thread really convinced me to look at 72. If I pay it off at a 5 year term, it's just 400 dollars more overall to get the 2.4 instead of 1.9. And the 400 was worth the ability to pay less if I wanted to. Hopefully we pay this off in 3 anyway.
