Way less than that. Those 2 combined with the wife and I, actually.

Mine is almost paid off though.

Never cheaper to borrow than pay out.

Not everyone has good credit though.


This. If you can get a really low interest rate, why would you fork out a hefty sum of money when you can pay it off in 3-5 years ? Save that cash to invest or for an emergency. Am I wrong in thinking this way?

$523 is a lot of money?

I think if you make less than a stay at home mom, it’s a lot for a monthly car payment.

When you consider inflation then yes, the average payment should increase every year.



Isn't the argument that vehicle costs have far outpaced inflation? Although the counter argument is that you get "more" car these days because of tech and safety features. Regardless, when does the bubble burst?

Me - 2014 Chevy Silverado 4 Door - $258/month for just over 3.5 more years. Financed it for 60 months. Truck had 36K miles when I got it. I owe just over $11K on it. NADA’s for about $21K

Her - 2019 Kia Optima S - $295/month for just over 4.5 more years. Financed it for 60 months. Car had 6 miles when she got it. We owe just over $16K on it. Her sticker was $29K.

Went about 8 years or so-5 or 6 years with no note-driving the wheels off of a 2000 Toyota 4Runner. Sold it for $1K after I got the Silverado. She had 247,000+ miles. Rock solid.

Wife had a ridiculous $487/month car note when we first got married. Downsized her note with a brand new car in the process and paid it off in the Fall of last year.

My note is driving me insane. It’s the most I’ve ever spent monthly on an automobile. My wife will always have a new car as much as that irks me.

I negotiate well. I hate debt. I never pay retail.

Paid cash to the dealership, I despise having any debts, or owing.

I'm blessed and lucky in a lot of ways.

Financing a car is dumb.

$465 a month for 48 month loan. Just got new car too after having no payment for almost 10 years. It kills me having to pay a car note again
