Just witnessed a guy take home a used Acura at a 21% interest rate.

 

The things people do with their money... blows my mind.

    Oh fucking lord, that's just gunpoint robbery.

    One of my sales managers says he's seen as high as 31%

     

    If this business has taught me anything, it's that people are stupid, I should always buy a car with cash, and that new cars are for people with a lot more money than the people actually buying new cars.

    Jesus fuck, neither my dad's 2017 Ram or my mom's 2017 SS are even close to that high.

    I never understand why people buy new cars. Why put $30K into something that will lose 60% of its value after the first 5 years?

    Someone's gotta buy 'em new, although it's always best to try to get them when they're doing large discounts.

    My mom's SS would've cost her around $47k or something like that had she paid the sticker price; we ended up paying just under $38k.

    Bought a "used" car in 2016 (it was a 2016) with 8k miles on it, the price was 25% off the MSRP..... (1.99% financing)

     

    I dont think I'll ever buy New

    A 2010 Acura MDX with 105K miles is your "dream?"

     

    People that end up with 21% interest rates on luxury cars are the sort with zero financial sense.

    I'll drive some piece of shit $700 car until I can pay cash. If I can't at minimum afford to put half of what's the car worth into a down payment then I can't afford the car/
