[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I find it fascinating that you could write a check for $9k (assuming it's good) but you can't afford payments on a $14k loan. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, the check is good. My rent is really high and combined with other bills = me being in over my head. I could have had less of a down payment and financed more I guess but I was thinking the way I did it was the more fruitful way. [/ QUOTE ] Oh OK. That's cool. I figured that the typical American had $500 in the bank and $4k worth of bills every month, so found it weird that you'd acquire $9k with a fairly small (within a few hundred of your previous nut) income and a tendency to impulse buy cars. [/ QUOTE ] Is this accurate? Very sad if true. [/ QUOTE ] I have no numbers to back this up at all, but it feels right to me. People here typically think they can afford whatever someone else will loan them money to buy. It's pretty sick, and a decent piece of our economy is driven by consumer debt.

Re: Just bought a car. Can I take it back??
Are these the same sort of stats as "the average American has $9k in credit card debt?" Because that is certainly not true and yet that number is tossed around all the time (and used incorrectly).

[ QUOTE ] Also, never buy a BMW out of warranty. [/ QUOTE ] I don't own one, but why not? [/ QUOTE ] when the bulb burns out in the headlight and you are ponying up $100 for the replacement...that's why
