Neither the capitalists nor the communists want us to own anything.

All the arfcommers who bought a Lariat for the same amount as their adjusted gross income with 72 months financing are pissed right now. Which is to say, thousands are pissed right now.

When I bought my small travel trailer a few years ago, the shortest loan the dealer would make was 10 years. I only paid like $13,500 for the thing. As cheaply as they're made, I'm sure it'll be basically worthless after 10 years.
ETA - I didn't finance with them |

I paid $800 for a daily beater. I should get 5 years out of it...
I can't imagine paying that monthly, for 10 years. Holy shit. |
|
And just like that the cost of vehicles just went up as well.

Xiden should give every American a voucher for a free car tbh.

Anyone stupid enough to take that loan is likely to also be stupid enough to trade it in after 2 years because they are 'bored' with their mortgage payment on wheels, and roll their upside down loan into a new equally abysmal loan.

This isn't anything new. There have been companies offering 12 year financing for a long time now. They usually market it as a way for poors to "afford" exotic cars.

So was I a fool to take an 84 month loan at 0% interest when I bought my Ram?
I'd rather keep my money in the bank just in case I needed it. Now back in 2014 we bought a Mustang and an Expedition in cash. Traded the Expedition for the Ram. I did really well on the trade in and the purchase price since back in April of 2020 the dealership was a ghost town. My point is it's not the length of the loan but the interest rate that should be looked at. |

In 20 years (10?) when the commies nationalize your 401k, tax your savings and shut off social security to a pittance, all you guys that drove 15 year old corollas with 400k miles are gonna be in the same shape as the guy who had fun.
