hegemony Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I really like finding instances when people post the same question/situation to mmf and here... almost always "over there" the feedback is all about continuing stupid behavior while the advice here is much more orthogonal and less generic.

I never put anything past the stupidity levels over there, but something seems off there. A 2015 that only has 15 miles and still selling for $41k. Seems like a typo somewhere. Point definitely still stands on the idiocy on going 84 months on the loan (for any car for that matter). I don't frequent that forum (for the reasons outlined in the ~50 pages of this thread, but has this thread ever been mentioned over there? I would love to see the justification/retorts of the crap sources. Edited July 22, 2019 by CTSoxFan hegemony 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scumbag CAs will use every lie in the book to try to extract money out of people, many of which are against the law and credit reporting agencies have a high rate of inaccuracy. They get mad over there when we arm consumers with knowledge and techniques for using the rules to their advantage and give them a fighting chance against these behemoths. hegemony 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdporter Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 In 40 years I've never dumped a car before it was paid off. If people tire of their car "prematurely", I suggest they make poor buying decisions. Afraid you might total a car before it's paid off? Keep some liquid resources around to cover the contingency and budget accordingly (don't blow all your savings on the car itself!). myFICO has cornered the market on "Stupid People Tricks". Maybe Letterman can feature a short on his "Needs No Introduction" production. peghede 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StantheMan Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 It’s really a DA move to finance a vehicle under the conditions mentioned. He will have spent close to $50k at the end of the contract with little residual value assuming he keeps it the entire length. If traveling less then 12k miles annually it’s better to lease for 3 years and trade in with another lease at that time. About the same cost or even less without the worry of new tires, repairs etc. plus having a relatively new vehicle all that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’m not looking at a car as an investment. Cars are the only thing I really spend my money on. Most of my vacations are weekends spent on the track. Is it a “poor buying decision” on my part? Maybe. It depends on how you look at it. If you’re only considering the financial side, then yes. Hobbies generally don’t make financial sense. But based on enjoyment per dollar spent, for me it’s worth every penny. That said, the OP on that thread is clearly not asking as a car enthusiast and doesn’t seem to be able to make sound financial decisions. They probably have a 60 or 72 month loan at a terrible interest rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look to be engaged in a love affair with any car I own, and for it to serve me reliably until I part with it. And while I'm certainly subject to a bit of lust for a new car occasionally, I get a bit of a thrill every time I sit down behind the wheel of my own vehicle: at 120k and 13 years, the engine performs better than new, the ride is smooth and quiet ... the car retains most everything that I loved about the car when new (though there's most definitely a modest wart or two to be found). Bottom line, I'm astounded by the number of decisions that clearly run counter to the greater objectives of owners when it comes to car ownership/leasing.

Bottom line, I'm astounded by the number of decisions that clearly run counter to the greater objectives of owners when it comes to car ownership/leasing. I definitely see your side of it. For most people a car is a way to get places (work, school, dinner, etc.). In that case, my way of doing things would absolutely be a poor choice. I’ve known many people that buy a new car because they see it as a status symbol. Their vanity drives them to have the newest model. And that often leads to financial turmoil. If owning a 13 year old car allows you to do something else that makes you happy, then that’s the correct decision for you. That’s probably the correct decision for a large percentage of people. Many people would be better off padding their rainy day fund, or a child’s tuition, or paying off their mortgage rather than having an endless car payment. I feel that if you can’t afford to finance for 48 months or less, you can’t afford the car. And many of the posts on MyFICO lean in that direction. I usually do 30-36 month leases. And I feel that I’m skilled enough at negotiating to get a very good deal. But when a dealer knows that I buy a car as often as I do, they want the chance to earn repeat business from me. And many have. I also have the luxury of walking away if I don’t like the deal because I don’t need the car. It’s always just something I want if the price is right. That gives me a lot of leverage in negotiating for a new car. Although many of the cars I’ve owned get attention, I’ve never bought a car because of its status or how I’d be perceived for driving it. And even though cars are a true passion for me, I’d never risk my financial well-being for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Car Reveals Your Credit Score Quote How do drivers' credit scores correlate to the model of car that they drive? LendingTree data from used auto loan applications tend to follow the stereotype, but there are significant differences. Tesla drivers have the highest credit scores, with an average of 740 on the 300-850 scale – just breaking into the very good credit range (740-799). Used Teslas have the highest average value ($54,234) of the models studied, but Tesla drivers generally have a higher income. They can afford higher payments. Why does it feel like this aspiring Tesla-owner read the same article and was inspired to be the floating turd in that data pool? hegemony and centex 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
