And there it is folks (and I love biglego), but this kind of thinking is why cars cost so much, depreciate so fast and folks are locked into debt slavery as a way of life.




It’s not a financial strategy I recommend, but I think the root problem is people are willing to plunk $70k on a Tahoe in the first place. But I get what you’re saying—if 6-9 year terms weren’t offered then people wouldn’t be able to pay these prices and everyone would be better off.

I had my last car 8 years, and my wife 10 years.
Definitely time to trade her in for a newer model.

If a baw were to purcahse his Deanli for $72K and finance at 4.25% for 108mos...the total cost would be $86,771



Think about all the hoes you would pull in that new Denali though. Def worth the extra 14k

Finance charges are the biggest revenue generator for domestic manufacturers.

I guess it is a matter of personal preference. I enjoy not having a car note for at least part of my life. That money can go to other items / savings.

I wonder how many automobile sales in the US would dry up if just a fraction of those loans weren't available.


Or college attendance

Or house purchases

Or pretty much the vast majority of major retail purchases (furniture, etc)

If it’s a super low interest rate, why not?


I doubt it's at a low rate. Bank, or even the manufacturer's financing arm, I doubt ties up for that long unless it's a very nice interest rate, for them.
