Americans are behind on car payments at a record level

[ba'al]

Of course people shouldn't extend themselves, but the economy car is disappearing. Damn near every new car at a dealership is 40K+ now. Those stimmy dollars had people acting reckless and made car companies even greedier. Gonna be a lot of pain on both sides now

You're right and if you do get a affordable car a lot of times they are subject to being stolen as well. You would think the higher end cars get stolen the most but not really it's the kias, hondas, ford trucks. I know cats that drive old school civics and accords that have mfers eyeing them when they go pump gas. Those cars are reliable and easy to mod. Downside is they lack modern safety features and usually have more mileage on them.

#no car note gang

if i can't buy it 3 times i cannot afford it.

pay cash or finance while having the enitire sum ready, pay entire note off in 3 months watch your credit score jump 30 -50 pts.

I could pay my car off but it's an EV.

Not sure what will happen with trump trying to wipe out evs. So I won't pay it off

These are subprime plans. These people were already risky lends.

That sucks, glad I don't have those problems come to think of it I've never bought a new car

My 2015 Civic is paid off so all I have to pay is gas and insurance. No plans to buy another car in the short term.

put a magnetic 4g gps tracker in that old car. you can get a low text/call/data plan for like $50 for the year. let them have the car and then you open up the app and call the police and tell them exactly where your car is.

[DonB90]

I know someone paying $800 for a truck and like $600 for insurance.

His money is basically straight rent, car shyt, and junk food.

That's a smart option. Could also op for more security features if you so decide.

Nice.
Gimme a older toyota. People just wanna have new ish even if it puts them under water.

Hate car payments, bought a new car once and said never again.

I only buy vehicles i can afford to purchase with straight cash.
