On average, AutoNews reports that 3.58 percent of 18 to 29-year-olds and 2.62 percent of 30- to 39-year-olds have been late on their auto loans by at least 90 days. For some context, just 2.13 percent of all borrowers are late. Keep in mind, these numbers are overall. In the first quarter of 2023, 4.55 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds were at least 90 days late. 3.66 percent of 30- to 39-year-olds were equally late. We haven’t seen numbers like these since The Great Recession.
Public transport is shitty in Belgium too but 10K for a simple car? People who can’t afford a new car should imo buy a used shitbox and not fonance something(unless it’s some rare car/oldtimer as investment).
You’d be hard-pressed to find a reliable used car for under $10k in my area. Anything less than that is over 15 years old and probably won’t last long. And even then the cheapest thing I can find is still almost $5,000
Rip, here you can find old(10-20y olds) but seemingly reliable cars for 2-5k
