      Borrowing for a car is becoming normalized in my country, but what’s wrong with just buying a €5-10k car outright? My SO and I have spent a grand total of €12500 on purchasing 3 separate vehicles in about a decade.

      I drive a relatively new electric car for work that is a job perk, but if I wouldn’t I’d just driving to work in our little Mazda 2.

      There is no single part of my house I even want to spend the average new car price on (€43k). That’s retire a year early money.

      I got 6% last month on a couple year old used car (I have bought a car since 2005) and I was shocked and the guy said that was one of the best rates he has seen lately. Absolutely insane.

        I have “good” and was offered 9% in early October.

        One good sign is that banks are lowering their rates for longer term CDs. I’m seeing 1 year CDs in the 6% range, but a 5 year CD is more like 2%-3%. This means that the banks expect the fed to lower rates in the next few years.
