hayward Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 the car manuf. love it. They know majority can get financing, so they up the price of the vehicles more and more and low and behold, people still come up with the financing. Brilliant! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, 69mo loan, paid truck off in less than 48, I make 2/3 of my yearly take home in 6mo and 1/3 in 6mo.. Better to be safe than sorry. bought a sled last week of March 2021, 2/3 paid off and I don't have a payment due till April 2023.. if they don't penalize you for early pay off it's a no brainer..

teamgreen02 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Looks like the 0% crowd got to this thread early, oh well. Always a sucker lined up thinking they just won one over on the bank.

Crnr2Crnr Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 Wonder how many of you read the article and subsequent comments? Irl2 the msrp and financing rates from the manufacturers, it's baked into the sticker price. Suckers pay in full and suckers finance and pay to term.

I have seen idiots with 72mo loans on cars they hot new at yr 4 with way north of 100k on em . I know one shit head who has a 72.mo and has had to do a new motor because of a stuck injector that was around 15k then a Trans lol On a fucking truck that was already deep underwater lol . If you need more than 60 you deff can not afford it . I would say 48 but I know some guys just don't care about a auto withdraw every 4 weeks . We call those 1040 guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowder Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) The new American way. “As long as I can make the payment, I can afford it”. We were in looking at a car a few years ago and I don’t know how long it took me to get it through the sales guys skull that we only cared about the price, not the payments. I’ve never financed anything to term. Always double payments or more. Edited October 16, 2021 by Crowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make the payment to yourself in a savings or investment account and then pay cash. Just saw this gem of an offer from Ford. Lower payments for the first three years on a 75 month loan. Financing That Fits Your Budget Flex Buy is offered with 66- or 75-month terms. Your first 36 months of payments are discounted by 15% or 18%, while higher later payments allow for your full balance to be satisfied. The Benefits No mileage limitations Freedom to customize your vehicle Lower payments for the first three years Build equity with each payment Two term choices Two payment discount choices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
