under 0% circumstances and on a solid product, it actually makes sense. And, if no pre-payment penalties, it's all up to the buyer.

Maybe not you, but the problem with 0% for 84 months is that you end up buying more than you can afford. Paying for a vehicle over 84 months is also not a good thing.

His reasoning is that some people end up buying more than they can afford (or more than they originally budgeted for) because the monthly payment is lower, due to the elongated term.

There is probably truth to that.

But, that’s a different discussion than the economics of a zero percent loan.

You’re not getting any manufacturer discount, no rebate. Financing with themanufacturer is just a bonus for them. If they waive the %, they are still making money. Ever paid attention the the billboards or commercials...$10,000 - $12,000 off msrp?

makes sense on a vehicle without a substantial factory incentive.

Trying to push inventory in a time everyone is afraid to spend. Also, a lot of dealerships make a lot on rebates based on volume

as the poster said above it is a way to move inventory and sell cars at a higher sticker price. I would not do it but braxton needs the Tahoe for when travel ball starts back up..........
