But I'm not the average American distilled into one person. I have good credit and will pay a low interest rate which will be outstripped by the value my money can return by leaving it invested instead of sinking it all at once into a depreciating asset like a car.

That attitude is a killer. Thankfully I have gotten over it before I have to start spending lots of money. I haven't got anything for like six months that isn't necessary except a watch and a knife.

If you (or anyone) can learn to not everything hey see and be patient, they will be much better off.
I had this just a few days ago. I broke my f1 key in my keyboard and was discussing how it would cost me $70 to replace it. My dad asked how much I used it and I said at most once a day, and then I realized that I already had a shitty board I could use whenever I needed to press f1. I guess my point is that you can save so much money by being patient. And being patient will make you second guess your decisions.
This post took forever to write on my iPad. Probably a waste of time.

That $2,000 cheap car ends up needing $1,000 worth of work in 5 months and you will have to blow your savings on it.

A better idea is to do what I did and buy a new Toyota Corolla. Five year loan at 2.5% APR. I owe $4k on it and it's worth at least $7k. And it hasn't broken down because it's not a used piece of shit.

But, loans are bad. Why the fuck would you give literal Jews your money solely because you can't show just a little patience and self-control?

But I financed my used shitbox at 4%, paid 90% off in the first 3 months and I'm allowing the last 10% to come out on payments for credit reasons.

My bank gives me 3.25% interest on savings, I'm basically paying 0.75% to finance the remainder.

Buying things you can't afford is always bad, but financing a car is one of the best ways to prove credibility.

This guy gets it. Not everybody is so poor that he'll need 6 years to pay for a 26k car.
Thinking tyou have to pay everything cash and up front is a typical poor person fallacy. If you had any understanding how money works you'd have a better use for it than to just throw it away like that. Invest you money and you can easily pay the interest with your profits. Plus you have a built in tax credit.
And after a year or three you swap the car for a newer model without paying more than half of it anyways...

>>16825398
when will snotty wannabe financiers realize that purchasing a new, mid-range car, never has, is not and never will be an investment. You are purchasing a tool to increase your utility and improve convenience, you are always, from the beginning going to lose money and you go into it aware of that. That's literally the opposite definition of an investment, the sold purpose of which is to take a risk to potentially increase the principal you put in.

Theoretically, if you have no car, you could consider purchasing a cheap used car a form of investment because it will most likely increase your earning potential more than the cost you have to put into the car. But the difference in utility between a $3,000 hatch and a $30,000 hatch will nowhere even near match the increase in money vested on the principal alone, nevermind the interest.

Yes everyone should eat Ramen and live in a 20sq metre apartment according to you

Buying new is stupid unless you want that fancy new model
Dealers and banks finance used cars also...

May be hard for a poorfag such as yourself who only eishes to own old rusty broken down shitboxes to understand, but if someone has 30k they are better off financing the car rather than blowing their load in one go

30k put to work less the payments on loan is far better for an individuals financial independence than buying the car outright and having nothing to show for it other than depreciation loss
The 30k put to work covers the miniscule amount of interest on the loan, helps to lessen the depreciation hit, and allows the individual to keep their 30k plus now the value of the car

You have a very rudimentary understanding of finances
Being a frugal poorfag is not good financial advice unless you are an actual poorfag

Please stop preaching your holier than thou bullshit bevause you are clearly stupid. Thanks.

>Is the very worst financial decision you can ever make in your life. Even if you have an 820 credit rating and get 0.9 APR, you're still taking a massive ass fucking. Nobody reading this has an 820 credit rating, either.

>>16825383
I have great credit and took out a 1.25% interest personal loan to buy a car - the car isn't even collateral, there is no lien.

Blowing $30k in cash on a car is idiotic when you could borrow the money for next to nothing and invest your $30k and earn MORE in interest than you're paying on the loan.

Stop projecting your poorfaggotry on others. I'm sorry you can't envision a scenario in which borrowing money makes sense, but maybe one day you'll have a better credit score than the average nigger.

I don't think there is anything wrong with financing a car at 1% or less. At that point, I don't really mind paying $250 over a 36 month period for the advantage of keeping more cash on hand.

But you are a grade A moron if you pay anything above 3% - never mind 9.6%

>>16825383

Yeah right. $6,000 for a 2011 shit-tier manufacturer base model, maybe.

>>16825613
you financed a fucking used car?

I get what you mean by paying a bit more for a decent used car. I increased my budget to $5K just so I could get an econobox with just 50K miles instead of some can of worms with 100K+ miles which is a good thing that dumb sticky suggesting to go for cars with 100K-150K miles. Anyone who actually needs that (outdated) sticky will most likely be looking for their first car and won't know how to look out for problems in the first place.

but financing it when you can just save up for it within a year?

>not getting zero-interest loans from your wealthy relatives

Being a spic is great.

>>16826117

This is the key everyone ignores when they talk about financing.

It's not about reeeeee financing ALWAYS GOOD / ALWAYS BAD, it's about what you can do with the money in the meantime.

>What APR can I get on a note
>What reliable return on an investment can I get

simple subtraction. If the best finance rate you can get is 4% and you can only get, say, a 2% reliable return on an investment, think twice before financing.

If, on the other hand, you can secure a 2% finance rate and you have an investment that nets you a pretty reliable 4% per year you should consider financing as a better option. Your investment is going to appreciate much faster than your car note is and you'll be ahead of the game.

>>16825383
>The car dealer won’t tell you that your awesome new car loses about 25% of its value the instant you drive it off the lot. After four years, your car has lost about 70% of its value.

It's funny how you call everyone else retarded, but you're just as stupid.

Financing a car is always a loss, no question about that, but your numbers are fucked.

First of all, rates like 0.9% and 1.9% etc. are all ADVERTISED financing rates. If you actually have stellar credit, to the point where it's 820 and you're literally the top most tier possible, you can actually go to a dealer that's advertising 0.9% and get approved at 0.1% or some other ridiculously low number. Then there's 0% financing.

But depreciation? Yeah, depreciation is definitely a thing - but it depends completely on the car and current demand in your local market. Some cars depreciate a LOT (i.e. an automatic Fiesta) while others not so much (a Subaru WRX STI, for example). There might be certain prevailing mechanical problems that have caused a problem with perceived value (Ford PowerShift) or some crazy JDM ricer tax that inflates prices.

No car depreciates 70% in one year. NONE. Even if the car is a fucking salvage title.

Cars certainly don't depreciate 25% the moment you drive off the lot, either. You may have SPENT $40,000 OTD and only get a $30,000 trade in offer a week later but that's because:

1.. $40k OTD means up to $3000-4000 in taxes, so the car itself was only $36,000 to begin with. The dealer sure as hell isn't going include TTL in their valuation.

2. It's a trade-in, which means they're almost always going to be offering you less than what it's really worth.

3. The person buying the car overpaid - they paid $36,000 when invoice was $34,000 and most savvy buyers were able to negotiate to $33,000.

so in other words OP has shit credit and was declined

>>16825383
4 months ago I decided what car I wanted and financed it for $22,388 at 5% with $500 down. The loan term is 72 months (young credit) but I'm going to pay it off in 24 by paying $970 a month; by the end I'll have paid just over $1200 in interest and I'll have two years of enjoyment out of the car. Tell me why I should go two years without driving the car that I want just to avoid paying a bank less than one of my paychecks. Incidentally, I don't plan on selling this car any time soon.

Also explain to me why putting $4,750 or $11,000 into a car is better than making an actual investment.

>>16827018

Last but not least:

4. The person bought the MY2016 car when the MY2017 vehicles are already languishing on dealer lots. They thought they were smart and got a "Good deal" by buying previous model year, but they didn't factor in the problem of the 2016 model automatically being considered "1 year old" in all pricing guides being used by insurance, dealers, etc.

>>16825397
This is the thought process of the mentally ill normie brain.

>>16826423
This is the advice people who think they're smart give.
But the reality is, investments are gambles, well any investment worth your time.
People also forget all the costs associated with investing.
Yeah your "reliable" 7% annual return is really only worth 4%, and you've got to put a lot at risk to get it, which could easily go out the window in a second.
Unless you've truly got the income, or safe investments to make good on your loans without your car money you've invest, then you'd have to be an idiot to be risking it.

Finances aren't all about risk reward investing, they're also about security.
Rule 1. Don't invest any money you're not willing to lose
Rule 2. Truly safe investments don't outpace inflation

>>16827136
>this advice people who think they're smart give
And you reply with some generic bullshit disclaimer from any third rate financial advice blog
Lmao
Sorry not sorry your goyim mind doesn't understand the market

Why would 7% become 4%? Tax doesn't work like that...

>>16827166
Considering I came up around investments and have seen people become hundred millionaires, seen people lose everything they have, and seen people get killed, I think I might have a little more experience here than most autists.

Simply put, investing is a big boy game. If you're not prepared to lose it all tomorrow, you're not in a position to invest. Money isn't coming out of thin air.
Don't save 30k for a car, then finance it to invest the money unless you could easily and comfortably pay off that loan if your investment goes south.

The funny thing is, all these financial advisor places don't disclaim that you can lose. They pretend like if you follow their trade secrets you'll hit it big and put no money at risk while doing so.
It's just like the real estate investment infomercials.

if you want to build credit, theres nothing better than buying a car. Paying off your credit card every month isnt going to build it quick enough. Plus, you can just make the monthly payments by investing the money you would have spent.

You're a fucking idiot if you think financing is retarded

>>16827059
>e 2016 model automatically being considered "1 year old" in all pricing guides being used by insurance, dealers, etc.
how bad is this in general when you don't plan to sell the car as an "investment" anyways? Like when I buy a new car I'm going to do the same thing if the next generation is going to be shit anyways so at least I have the best year of the previous generation.

Well can't we all agree certified used is the best way to buy "newish", warranty, no depreciation loss when you drive off the lot.

>>16827136

You're absolutely right, but keep in mind that if you have good enough credit to score a really stupid low APR, like 0.5%, even a money market account will yield higher than that, if only by like 0.2-0.5%... and that's about the most risk-averse investment you can possibly make.

Also with a stock investment you don't actually realize that gain (or loss) until you sell it again. So it's a double edged sword for your example. The 7% they brag about could indeed turn to shit one day, but on the other side of the coin if you're factoring in dividends, you can stand to actually lose 1-2% somewhere, so long as it eventually gets made back up over the course of your expected investment's time frame.

Again, we're not talking day trading, we're talking long term, relatively low-beta investment w/ dividends paid.

/for what it's worth I've both paid cash for and financed new cars, all depends on the situation I find myself in.

>>16827275
why even bother at that point? Point of buying a new car is so you know for sure what happened to the car from day 1. How do you know some faggot didn't squeeze in some litter through the shifter?

You do not understand finance or math.

If you've got young credit make the payments each month and don't double or triple them all the time. The (((banks))) like to see that you can CONSISTENTLY pay them back OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME and in the future they'll be more likely to lend you money with lower interest rates.

>>16827909

>>16827270

It's bad in the sense that you absolutely should get GAP insurance for cars like that.

There are things in life that you can't control. Drunk faggot can total your car 1 year in and it's got the depreciation of a 2 year old car - you owe like $20,000 and it's worth $16,000. The insurance pays out $16,000 and now you're $4,000 under water. You have no car, AND you still OWE $4,000.

Or, say something happened and you need to get rid of the car. Maybe you got a fantastic new job and a car will just be a drain for the next 4-5 years because you can move to someplace close to office. New car and insurance is probably at least $400-500 for most people - that's a $6000 a year without evening accounting for gas, maintenance, and unexpected repairs. Or your girl just got pregnant and now there's a wedding and childcare in the near future - that $23,000 Fiesta ST is now only worth $15,000 and you still owe $18k on it or something and you need to trade in for something bigger that can fit a stroller AND groceries. The dealer is going to give you even less as a trade in and you don't want to dick around for 6 months on craigslist meeting with tire-kickers - so they give you $12k on a trade and you're rolling in $6k worth of debt on a Camry. A 4-cylinder model with just a few features that should've been $24k OTD is now reaching what it would cost to get a V8 SRT Charger (with some incentives and a bit of negotiation).

Biggest scam of financing a vehicle is they make you have full coverage and a fucking 500 or less deductible. Costing you hundreds and hundreds each year.

That would be smarter for building my credit but as I said, I don't plan on selling the car that I got. It's the car I want and I'd like to own it completely as soon as I can.

If I really want to build credit I could get a credit card and use it for gas to check that "revolving credit" box.

When I bought my 20,000 Harley I had 50k cash in the bank and still got a loan.
The 167k Pete behind it too is financed. Oh well.

>>16828551
You not wanting to sell the car has nothing to do with your credit

The credit card will help yes but making steady payments on a vehicle on that big of a loan (compared to a credit card) will have a bigger positive impact on your credit

Corvette is leaking again...

You're an absolute aspie retard. Go live in a communist state and leave the rest of us with half a brain alone. Not our fault you can't wrap your brain around simple economics.

The best resell value are cars that you can work in that always appreciate. Sure you won't gain profit due to maintenance and mileage increase, but 9/10 you sell the car with 40-50k miles added for the same exact amount you bought it for years later

goyim how do you expect to pay for all the essential infotainment and saftey features needed for modern day life

>>16825383

>What grumpy old people believe

All you are doing with saving versus financing now is delaying the inevitable depreciation hit. Only you have to suffer the humiliation of driving a broken down shit box for 1-5 years before you can upgrade.

Driving an unreliable piece of shit also comes with increased repair bills, to fix or replace things so you can get to your job with out calling in and saying you're on the bus and late, which gets you fired.

What does seeing people get killed have to do with anything on car loans?

Car is a money pit.
Some people just steal one. It takes 60 seconds.

I love you Americans

I don't know about you, but I know a old guy who is litterally a multi-millionaire who has gone though maybe 2-3 Toyota Corronas in the last decade without paying more than 5k top for each

So that's like 15k

Then I know a guy who purchased a Ford Falcon new, and has to get the sensors cleared for $150 bucks a shot every couple of months

So that's like 9k just for resetting error codes (plus regular servicing) for a new car, compared to 15k just buying A new old Toyota every time they fuck out - not paying for servicing

>>16825383
My credit score is 830

I have a 4% 5 year loan on a 10 year old lexus LS430 for $11,000

I could pay the car off at any time from the $80k in a fairly liquid account making 6%.

Who is the retard again?

>>16825556
Dave Ramsy is good financial only if you are a stupid fucking idiot.

Beans and rice is bullshit. Make debt work for you. Make capital work for you.

>friend gets a 2012 volkswagen golf with 60k miles
>financing 14k for it
>crashes it in under a year, complete write off
>still has to pay the 14k
>tells me hes looking at financing an audi

he is beyond saving

>>16830013
When half the country is rednecks and niggers who take money and run the banks need to see that you are trustworthy enough to have money lent to you. Unless you make enough money to buy houses in cash you'll need to deal with taking out loans from banks here in America.

>>16830704
If your score was really 830 you would have way less interest on that loan than 4%.

That's not how full coverage works

>>16825492

>Probably a waste of time.

Not really. You have a point, though not a lot of people will agree on what you've said.

But isn't financing a car a good way to build credit?

I was thinking of financing a $15,000 2016 model car.

>>16826135
>savings account with 3.25

what the fuck? how is that possible?

>>16828449

huh?

Also used to live in kinda rural Florida and Illinois, shockingly common to see run down trailer homes with a new car in the "driveway" that blatantly costs more than the home. If you would call a hallway a home.

>>16831071
What do you disagree with?

>>16831072
Financing does build credit but you can get a good credit score without an auto loan

if the loan terms are good though, taking the loan is worthwhile. at 0.0% interest/48 months taking a loan was a no brainer for me
