Means that show host is a liberal faggot that instead of telling Niggers to stop being Niggers he's blaming da white man on keepin the black man down with their fancy loan talk. One time he had no argument for his agenda other than saying it's the year 2015 folks so now he's current year man.

I really cant watch this guy any more LPG.

Whats a BH-PH dealership?

>>15631965
As a guy who worked for a car dealer for a while...

man i wish my customers were that retarded... would've made my job a lot easier

>>15632386
Dude, just watch it.
Your question would be answered by now.

>>15632397
John Oliver we aren't even talking about the police.

>>15632386
Dealers that self finance shit cars, at shittier rates, to the blackest of niggers.

>>15632277
And Bill Maher Was an antivaxxer, doesn't mean all of what he says is bullshit.

Its dosturbing and evidence that we need to focus on public transportation. You need a car to land a job in a lot of places. Its common to ask if people have reliable transportation as part of an interview which is code for "car". The busses just dont cut it in a lot of places, especially where living close is too expensive for a lower income worker. The way america does things is stupid and doesn't work.

That said, any idiot should know what they are getting into with these loans. Desperate or not. Financial planning should be a required class before the age of 16 when kids are even allowed to drop out. Hell, make it part of math, more useful than calc II.

>>15632386
Buy here pay here. Basically the dealer provides their own financing options instead of a bank like a normal dealer. BHPH are shady, usually don't report you paying your loan so it's not even good for building credit, they will if you don't pay though. They charge high interest rates and your car most likely has a gps uniit somewhere. Their business plan is to sell to chumps that just look at the monthly payment, wait until they can no longer afford the payment anymore (or pay it off 7 years later) then come and tow it back to the lot to sell again.

>2 hour commute via public transportation
>10 minute car ride if she had a car

sounds like that fat bitch could get there faster by walking

but hey, who am I, just a white man with a 401k and a beer gut in process.

>>15632412
So its another example of taking advantage of dumb people.

Seems like the american way, whats the problem if banks do it

>>15632438
Walking?
did you see how morbidly obese she is?

>>15632447
so making her walk will make her fatter?

>>15632445
Its pretty clear that you are the one who go triggered.

>>15632458
my point is people that fat don't walk

>>15632466
/o/ isn't your safe space.

Auto loans is a serious matter and facts must be stated, even if they trigger you.

>/pol/ say that usury should be banned
>2015 man said something similar
>still dismiss everything he say automatically
Ill be honest he is not very funny

>>15632484
There shouldn't be any regulation at all. If you're retarded enough to fall for it then you deserve it. You want a $3k car don't pay $8.5k with 26% interest. It's that simple.

>>15632500
>There shouldn't be any regulation at all. If you're retarded enough to fall for it then you deserve it.

Shit, you've got a point. We shouldn't have fallen for the banks fucking over the entire economy with subprime mortgages eight years ago!

Well fuck, that's sad

>>15632337
Didn't realize that Oliver was a meme, so I'll do my best to give a decent summary

Buy Here, Pay Here (often abbreviated BHPH or BH-PH), is a type of dealership model that became popular in the wake of the Cash for Clunkers program and the US recession following the collapse of the housing market.

BH-PH dealerships advertise themselves as an option for people with no cash on hand and horrible/no credit to be able to finance a car. The reason they earned the name "Buy Here, Pay Here" is because instead of lending money through a traditional source like a bank or credit union, the dealership itself is the "bank", and lends the money directly to the buyer-(It would not be horribly inaccurate to think of it as a dealership that simply lets a customer buy a car through a payment plan that charges interest)

Obviously, because of the type of customer this business model targets, their business practices are extremely heinous. They charge obscenely high interest rates, usually in the range of 18-29%, often on terms as long as 8 or 9 years. The cars they sell are auction cast offs, usually bought for pennies on the dollar of book value. It's the worst of local inventory that no other dealerships wanted to buy or try and sell.

Because the dealership itself is the "bank" they can ignore LTV regulations-(LTV is Loan to Value, and is a regulation most legitimate banks follow that limits the amount over book value, usually NADA, the bank will loan towards a car). This means the dealership can get away with charging basically anything they want for the car, often times 3 or 4 times the listed book value.

The dealerships also write extremely aggressive loan contracts that allow them to repo as soon as 24 hours after a missed payment, fit GPS tracking devices or start blockers, and demand payment every 2 weeks

The scary thing is, even more traditional dealerships like Carmax, Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge, and Ford are expanding their subprime business

>>15632424
I know this but he has some piss poor arguments. I miss Jon Stewart.
>>15632444
Except the people who take these are poor "luxury"/"sport" buyers who wont move to something else no matter how hard you try or tell them its a shit deal. ESPECIALLY IF ITS A CHRYSLER, CORVETTE, MERC, OR BMW.
I live in the same state as lpg btw. You know this shit if you live near trailerparks and the house/loan poor "rich".

>>15632579

All this adds to further inflate the subprime auto bubble. If it's pushed to the point of popping, it could be just as dramatic on the economy as the housing bubble was, and it would absolutely destroy the car market in ways C4C and the first recession only dreamed about

>>15632537
again, didn't know JO was a meme, but everything he talks about in that video is accurate

>>15632586
Literally dealt with a girl yesterday who is in ACTIVE bankruptcy, the judge ordered her to get rid of her current cars and consolidate down to one. She would not look at ANYTHING other than a luxury brand (Merc, BMW, Infiniti, Audi, that sort of thing). Literally so terrible at personal finance she is in the middle of bankruptcy, and you couldn't have beaten an ounce of common sense into her with a metal baseball bat

I get 6 figure job offers regularly but I don't have a car so I just accepted a $10 an hour gig learning how to fix semi trailers because I can't fucking sit here and do nothing...

>>15632626
the problem is, car's wouldn't get cheap. look at cash 4 clunkers and the recession, it jacked the prices up on cheap shitboxes more in 12 months than 10 years with of inflation

if the auto market goes belly up, dealers won't be able to offer loans, everything will go cash sales, and prices will fuckign skyrocket for them to stay in business

>>15632663

Man that would be a horrible thing! People would have to have cash to pay for their cars! And they would realize how insanely expensive cars are and do shit like buy cars they can actually afford! God man....

>>15632680
yet all your local shit jobs, like fast food, gas station clerks, and walmart employees would not longer have a means to get to work.

literally almost all of the entry level jobs in america are dependent on cheap, or at least easily obtainable, transportation, especially outside the few major cities that have anything close to reliable public transit.

yes im sure in your basement it would sound terrific for all that to happen, but it would result in an economic downturn 5 times worse than the housing bubble, as all your entry level job markets collapsed as people couldnt get to work

it brings the question if no one has enough cash to buy anything in spite of the fact the mass produced goods are cheaper to make than ever how does the economy work ?
its simple people no longer can own anything
all they have is debit and its getting to the point that our currency is backed more by debit than by any other factor

>>15632605
Pretty sure there was an auto loan pop during mortgage crisis.

>>15632663
>rices will fuckign skyrocket for them to stay in business
but if they're selling less, wouldn't prices go down so they at least make a sale?

>>15632699
>there are people that can't afford to buy a $2,000 car

How can you even say this with a straight face?

>>15632760
They need to make higher profits per car if they're selling less.

>>15632645
call an uber you fucking moron

>>15632760
auto sales is fixed demand. Economy goes into the shittier you have to maximize per unit profit, as you have only a small pool of people capable of buying cars

>>15632724
It's designed to get more and more people to rely on the government teet through handouts and maybe a basic income. Government has made it incredibly expensive to employ humans with obamacare, government has made travel incredibly expensive by raising taxes on fuel and roads, government has made it harder to buy cheap cars by destroying those that were traded in.

>>15632784
They aren't /o/tists, they're going to buy shitty used cars because they like how they look or what sound system some nig put in. They don't know how to inspect a vehicle or look up common issues, inquire about repair and service history, etc.

>>15632724
Static wages is, in my unprofessional opinion, the worst. I already have a hilarious story from my new IT related job that relates to that

>>15632756
Eh, it wiggled, but it didn't pop. Car loan bubble and student loan bubble are both now in imminent danger of popping

>>15632784
>>15632795

It's true as a rule though. You have thousands of people who can't buy a 2,000 dollar car. I have people who can't come up with 100-200 dollar down payments, literally people with ZERO cash on hand to buy a car, it has to be a zero down deal or bust. Fuck, I have had guys with 6 figure salaries so stretched out by debt they couldn't come up with 1000 dollar down payments on a 35K+ car.

>>15632809
I can relate to the lack of financial education from all sorts of people in the US. I know a few doctors who are either obligated to working long hours (80+ a week, always on call, etc) or have had to file for bankruptcy because they spread their income too thin to uphold a particular lifestyle.

To me it seems simple to not spread yourself too thin, what happened to these people?

>>15632844
>>15632861

The US has no formal system in place to teach basic financial skills. You don't learn it in school, so either you are lucky enough to be taught by a parent or relative, or you are motivated enough to figure it out yourself

Often times with people in 6 figure jobs or higher paying professions (doctors/lawyers), you have people who came from poor backgrounds or who were financially supported by parents who then stepped into jobs making more money than they had ever seen before. Without any type of financial education, they frequently fuck themselves over because they have no idea how to manage money/evaluate true cost/budget for themselves

When my wife started pharmacy school, they (amazingly) had a 2 week personal finance course all PY1 students had to take, and if you were married your spouse could come, so I did. You have incredibly smart people asking almost mind numbly dumb questions about basic finance, and a couple of Econ professors desperately struggling to keep these kids from taking the 6 figure salary they are about to get in 4 years and using it to drown themselves

>>15631965
I never bother with auto loans I just buy the car outright.

>>15632889
>>15632844
The worst thing is these people don't even spend money on anything good. It's bro trucks, RV's, boats and shit.

>>15632861
>>15632889

Just to add, these people with high paying jobs tend to be in social circles with other people with high paying jobs and it easily becomes a "keeping up with the Jones'" phenomena.

Don't forget the mountains of debt some of these white-collar professionals end up with (average medical school debt is $250k, on TOP of undergraduate debt). I keep seeing people I know who constantly complain about their 6 figure loan debt, meanwhile they're shopping for their next 3-series or fancy swiss watch/designer bag.

It's only in the past few years that they started TRYING to teach financial planning to doctors/residents for example.

>>15631965
>IT'S THE CURRENT YEAR, GOD
fuck off

>>15632579
I noticed current year man left out the part that cash for clunkers caused this.

>>15632969
Everybody likes to leave out that part, so it's not just limited to him. I've never heard anyone in government, from either major party, own up to the failure and vast negative consequences to that program

>>15632969
Current Year Man also left put many have to travel hours for a job since the number of full time jobs dropped because of Obamacare.

>>15632500
That would make sense if public defenders didn't exist. But they do because people don't enter the world expecting to break the law or fighting for custody.
For that reason there should be regulation.

>>15632998
The bigger issue really is the regulations that DO exist aren't enforced, and dealerships that break them hardly ever face negative consequences

Usury laws right now (at least in terms of how they apply in North Carolina) limited the APR on a car less than 10 years old or less to 28.9%. Cars that are 2 years older or less are limited to 18%. You FREQUENTLY see buy here, pay here dealerships ignore this, and never get caught for it. I have seen people with effective interest rates from these places at anywhere from 40 to 300%

Most of these people have no idea what usury laws even are, and because they feed off ignorant people, they are never reported or prosecuted for it.

In reality, I don't know how you'd go about combating it. It's not that easy to audit the type of finance deals small back street dealerships are throwing out, and even if you could, who would do it?

>>15633013
Finance

Take the 150K you had and stick it in an index fund, use the interest you make to cover the car payment, and keep your 150 grand

>>15632809
The amount of transfers that can pay for their loans seem to prolong the student loan bubble.
Itll pop a good presidency away id say.
>>15632889
Wake tech is forcing me to take finance.
You describe finance class perfectly as its the same even with hs. People failed hs fiance often at the school i went to. Im hoping college finance i wont have to tutor people.

>>15633013
Assuming you actually have the 150K in cash, finance

Take your 150K and stick is in a low yield savings, or a low risk index fund. the interest you make will cover the car payment, and you won't deplete your 150K on a depreciating asset

My Credit Union offers 1.5% interest return just on a basic savings account.

>>15632998
So we need more laws based on the logic that there are top many laws for the common person to understand and gets fucked over.

>>15633100
lol granted most of these places are 'Achmed the Autodealer' type situations, there is a notorious BH-PH dealership in my area that runs radio ads basically just like the parody one in that video, run by the biggest redneck white guy you will ever hope to come across

His radio ads are fucking hilarious though:

>it's flu season folks!
>Does your credit look as bad as I feel!
>We don't care, come on down, approved with 5 dollar down!!!!!!!
>terrible trade got you upside down!
>we don't care! We'll get you approved, 5 dollars down!

I actually know some that have been investigated but not ever get accomplished fast enough to matter.
>>15633049
Finance wont do so great if your bank is shit.
Also dont stick everything in low risk index funds certain times your ending up with less than if you did fucking nothing with a portion of your income. Save a max of 1/3 that 150k put a tiny portion of your income in that and have the other portion of the initial go to low yeild. If you low risk/yeild is getting fucked you at least have money stashed to compensate.

>>15632680
Its almost like normies don't know what a good car is or how to fix problems. Most bh-ph dealers buy cars at auto auctions and do bare minimum repairs to resell them at inflated prices for the highest possible profit before gouging idiots on interest. If you can't admit how that is shady I'm not a cuck your a fucking dick.

>>15633121
>I actually know some that have been investigated but not ever get accomplished fast enough to matter.

I know of a couple places in Raleigh that got investigated by the local news, but all they did was close down for a month and open up under a new name, in the exact same location with the same staff, just used the new business name to purge out all the old negative reviews

>go to car lot
>find a car I'm interested in buying
>tell salesman I want to finance it
>negotiate on the total price of the car to get it as low as possible
>buy it
>immediately pay the entire principal of the loan before it accrues any interest

Good idea? y/n

I drive a 20 year old car I bought for $400 5 years ago, and I bought a house that sold for 60% of my annual salary . It's a lot better life to look poor and have $50k in the bank than to have the nicest car and house on the block and have to choose the Ramen or maybe you can get some Kraft dinner since you worked OT this week.

>CRAAAAZZZYYY KEVIN POWELL

>>15633338
It's the same reason I enjoy a fleet of older shitboxes right now. It's much nicer at this point in my life to have several different types of vehicles to have fun with, and no car payment.

>>15633349
We have a winner!

>>15633363
Don't auto loans make you pay the interest you would have gotten even if you do pay it off early? Like on a house you can't just get a 30 year loan and pay it off in 15 just because you want to without having to pay for all the interest you agreed to on taking that 30 year.

>>15633509
Interest is accrued daily on a car loan bro, unless you get some super sketchy backlot deal. That's why tons of people make double payments or pay more than the monthly minimum, anything you pay extra on a simple interest car loan goes to the principle, which pays the loan off earlier, which means you pay less interest.

>>15632889
>You don't learn it in school, so either you are lucky enough to be taught by a parent or relative, or you are motivated enough to figure it out yourself
Actually I was taught it in school.

We had a class in high school that was all about life skills and other things you ought to know but aren't taught in a regular class, and loans was covered in it.

Can't say if this was a state thing, a county thing, or just a school thing, but I was taught it in school.

>>15633525
So what's the point in dealing with one year loans, two or three year loans if you just intend to pay it all in say one year?

>>15633614
The loan term just reduces the payment amount. It's to give you a safety net in case you can't pay the loan off as quickly as you hoped.

You could take a 6 year term, and pay the loan off in a year, but say one month you are little short on cash, you still have a manageable payment.

>>15631965
current year

>look up buy here pay here nc
>See dealership i got my civic from.
It makes sense how that 7gen was 6k now.
Good thing it was only handed down to me.

>>15632809
>my new IT related job

Oh, congratulations.

>>15633509
Most loans have no penalties for paying off early. Check with your lender though to be sure. DESU these BHPH dealers may have something to say about that in their loans, sleezebags that they are.

dealer skit at the end is actually pretty funny

>>15633337
Generally a bad idea cuz you make more money investing the extra cash you have and making payments than you save from just paying it up front and not having to pay interest.

Hi longpostguy,
I love what you contribute here, it's always insightful. This is going to be a bit off topic but I'd like to have a 1 on 1 conversation with you about an idea I have for your contributions. If you have any time, shoot me an email at:

[email protected]

I have no other idea on how to get a hold of you, so sorry for the burner email.

Thanks for your time.

I have only ever paid cash for the cars i've owned. I've worked shit jobs and never made over $100,000, so far.
