    Dealerships are not there to help you get a car, it’s there to make money from you. If you are getting a loan get it from a trusted credit union that you’re banking with because they are more likely to give better interest rate. But the problem is people are trying to buy things they can’t afford. 😂😂😂

    This woman financed a 2021 Tahoe for $84,000 at 10% APR for 84 months, with a monthly payment of $1400. Then, her husband financed a 2020 Sierra 1500 for $78,000 at 14% APR with a monthly payment of $1600. She also still owns her original Audi car. Let all of that sink in for a bit.

That’s dumb on her part! Reality is finally hitting her. *Sometimes you are the problem, with your poor financial planning* 😂

      Exactly she didn’t buy a 2022/23/24 Hyundai Honda Toyota Nissan or even a base model Lexus or a 3 series BMW sounds like she went extremely high like you said 60-70k MSRP. So even with good credit that interest for the term of the loan especially a 5 year if minimum is going to cost quite a lot of money AKA she definitely got herself a high end luxury vehicle

    They want to force everyone into loans and payment plans. I had a Pastor who I used to listen to who was from Las Vegas and he said that one day he was in traffic and he saw a bumper sticker that said I owe I owe off to work I go. He said isn't that a miserable way to live life. They literally want to force everyone into loans. There is a couple ways around it that is legal. but its old school.

    My human designed & built by hard working ppl, loaded 76 Chevy Camaro LT costs around $3.200 brand new! Just 20 years later, a 96 Camaro costs nearly 3x as much! WHY? HOW? Since robots were building them by 96! They don't need lunch breaks, health benefits & employer doesn't have to worry about them getting injured otj & filing workers' comp. So, why do cars now cost up to 10x more than before? When we were told tech would significantly reduce consumer costs! They closed or moved factories to foreign countries, leaving hard working, dedicated American HUMAN BEINGS without jobs! Are the robots & computers maintained by little to no actual ppl earning all the money now?

    Vain people need to get over this mentality of needing to trade up every 3 years to impress other people. Do they think people envy them for their $1K+ monthly car payments? Nobody cares what anyone else is driving. These people need to get over themselves. I bought a new 2001 Protege and owned it for almost 15 years. I bought a 2013 Camry in 2019 and it's the best car I've ever owned. Reliable with lots of bells and whistles. I plan on keeping it until the wheels fall off. I could care less what other people think about it. Buy a reliable, used vehicle for cash and keep it as long as you can.
