      Yeah, my old neighbor man taught economics and finance and he told me once that buying an automobile on time is one of the worst decisions a person can make. I said "but most people don't have 20 K to go out and buy a new car." He said, Oh but you can afford spending dam near 40 K over time? That's rediculace. Just save up because otherwise your just making the bank or the dealership double their costs.

    • @DFWKen
      @DFWKen 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Doing that every 2 or three years is horrible. He'll pay off the debt and be wiser for it. In the meantime, he has been rewarded for good behavior. At least in the first 3 years, he shouldn't have any surprise mechanical problems to have repaired. During that time, he can save so that the next vehicle won't need so much financing. After 2 or 3 vehicles, it's cash every time, no interest costs (except for the loss of the use of the money). You have to start somewhere.

      @Gillie Monger I think it would depend on how much savings he has left. He did say that his parents were contributing to the sale.The beauty part of the loan is that he can make extra payments and pay it off early and save a bunch of money.
      I do wish that he could have found something cheaper in a used truck but, you get what you pay for. He will either pay the bank or, pay a mechanic to keep his on the road. It's also getting expensive to get cars worked on. Because of this pandemic, everyone is trying to make as much as they can when selling a car so they can pay their bills. In all honesty, I would have waited a year to save a bit more and wait for the dealer to get more of a selection in. I think they did pick out a nice truck, worthy of making payments on. I just hope he makes the extra payments to get the loan off quickly.
      I also have an 08 4runner. I just finished looking online for fun what I might like to replace it with. 2015 SR5s with 50k miles are going for $30k here in Va. Cars are just getting more expensive.

She only cared about the payment and that she could afford it, absolutely no concern with how much money she was throwing away, interest rates, the true value of the Armada, etc. she just wanted a payment at X amount a month and what do you know, they "helped" her out with that. I have a couple friends that work at credible dealerships, they say the most common concern is how much it is a month, that's it.

      Sure can fault their parents, though. Kids should get credit cards as soon as they get to the point of making purchases on their own. As long as they're appropriately supervised, and given instruction to always pay their balance, it builds credit, acts as a buffer against fraud, and as an intermediary in payment disputes. No reason to be teaching your kid to always pay with cash/debit.

      You think the guy gets parts probably for free? Not a chance in hell. At cost pricing for a shop typically runs 10-20%% below MSRP, that’s what you or I as the customer pay, then we pay for labor to get it installed. If you ink a deal with a company to become an exclusive [insert aftermarket part company here] installer you get even deeper discounts. They want you to install their product over other companies. So when you become exclusive to one brand the discount goes deeper and deeper. I’ve seen companies (not automotive) get equipment for 40% below MSRP and give an “at cost” price and the company STILL makes money on their “at cost” price they pitch to their client.

      This may be scripted as part of Richard’s show; however, it certainly provides an education for millennials and Gen Z. I just wish the kid had done more research regarding trucks, accessories, tires, dealer fees (what to pay for and what to refuse) and what the dealer had in inventory. With this research in hand, he could have worked on the deal/price before discussing financing and payment. He should have viewed Kevin Hunter’s TH-cam channel before stepping onto ANY car lot.

Keep saving and investing if you can. Don't lose your cashflow to unnecessary debt payments. You will have a stress free life.

    Richard is a likable man. People around him smile a lot. He is talking in a way that really bring a smile to your face. But listening to the 'car dealer' the guy should be told that the car dealer makes more the less down payment he put in. Credit is very profitable.

Bank of America and many others will beat your current rate by .5% if you refinance. I also negotiate by accepting the extended warranty they think they will bank big time on and then cancel it within 30 days losing nothing on it and using it as a bargaining chip.
