I see a lot of .9% 1.9%. But damn truck prices are still high. I’m an OT poor and can only afford a $600 note.

I'm sure they will convince you that everyone is financing 10 years these days

If you can't afford to pay cash for a depreciating asset then you can't afford it.

Save yourself the trouble, buy a used truck and put that $600 a month into a Roth IRA.

My bank came back at 5s for 60 mo. Credit is great. Just not a lot of good financing right now.

I refuse to pay financing on vehicles. It's promotional 0% or cash for me.

I pay $1497 for 96 months. Only 95 months more to go and I can move out of the truck and rent an apartment.

Buy a used Civic and with a fraction of the money you saved you can buy plenty of Extendz.

If I can get 8% in the stock market or 5% in a CD, you want me to pay cash when the finance option is .9 or 1.9%? Sounds legit

Bought a new MINI yesterday. 5.9% interest rate. Seems to be about average nowadays.

ETA: Here's a picture. MINI Cooper JCW 1 to 6 Special Edition. The last of the six speed manual transmission MINIs.

At current prices and rates, and without some sort of additional funding sources, people making under 110-120k or so really shouldn't be buying an XLT, LT, SLT trim level trucks, which is sort of wild. I know plenty still are though.

I would up those numbers bc that’s my situation. Drove a Sierra for 12 years. I really don’t understand how some do it.

On average, if you are making 85k you can't comfortably afford a 58k truck. That's a very unwise financial choice for 85% of people in that income bracket at least.

I think you'd be appalled at how many people are seriously underwater on car notes and the rates that some of them are paying.

This cash is king mentality was built in the conditions in 70s-80s.

You don’t want to get over your head in debt, but cars and houses are the places to take it.

You will lose more to opportunity costs saving up for the car then you will gain by interest costs.

The only caveat is you shouldn’t push the car past a 5 year note ever.

It's the American way. My wife tells me all of the time about people she deals with at work that are paying $1300/mo to drive and aren't really very high earners.
