    They’re not selling cars, they’re selling loans with a car attached.

        No damn way in hell I’ll ever have a car payment again. Having 3 paid off cars right now is amazing.

        These people who need flashy things can get fucked with their $1200+insurance for that hellcat they need so badly. Fuuuuuuuck that noise.

          That’s me, I paid off my car and tend to buy vehicles that have already depreciated to the bottom of their value. My car is worth as much now as it was when I bought it.

          My wife is looking for something larger since her Audi Q5 is very compact for our family. We can easily swing the payment but I’m just not liking the new vehicles much at all.

            Nope, new vehicles are shit. Can’t repair them easily. They track and monitor you, report you to your insurance. Mine fane from 2003-2016.

            Wife wanted a bronco, but they suck too. Same shitty engine design as the 3rd gen escape that loves to leak cool and oil together due to faulty heads. Go figure.
