fuk... that's absurd. I felt bad agreeing to 300/month. I'd laugh at the dealer, call em drunk and never return if they tried that shit

    I feel sorry for people that have car payments. If you can’t pay cash, you can’t afford it.

    How long would it take to save up at least 5k for a cheap used car making minimum wage and paying for living expenses? It's impossible for many Americans without going into debt.

    The system is absolutely broken. But sure go and blame the individual for not pulling themselves up by their bootstraps
