I operate a family owned buy here pay here in a very small community. If you’re a bad or good dealer everyone knows it because everyone knows everyone else and thus you better be good as you do not have an endless supply of new customers. Referrals are of high importance. Here is the thing that makes me a bit sad for a small percentage of my clients. They buy a car from me. One year later it’s paid off and they come to trade it in and start over. The new oil change sticker that was installed in that trade a year ago prior to selling is still the same sticker that’s in it. I was probably the last person to wash it a year ago. It looks like a trash can was dumped in it. It’s beat to death and when I clean it out to prepare it for auction because it’s been ruined I find $10 worth of change under the trash, in the storage cubbies, etc. A large percentage of my customers are not like this. And, a large percentage of my customers could actually go to a bank but they don’t want to. But this small percentage that I am describing is in a never ending cycle of hurting themselves and you can’t correct that for them.

[@DanTheManIOM]

Why ? Why is that small percentage NOT taking care of their stuff ? My depression era grandfather taught me, take care of what you have, make it last. I doubt this small percentage will ever learn something new, better, and they never heard of Dave Ramsey.

I've been the real estate rental business for 40 years; I know all too well the type of people you're speaking of. You can't help them no matter what you do. I would lower the rent thinking it might help them stay current, it did not, all it did was to give them more money to piss away each month. No education about money at all and it seemed no control over their own life decisions. So sad to see people work so hard but then have nothing to show for it. You don't need no college degree to understand this. If I could, then others could also. It's not so much what you make, it's what you're spending that is killing you. You don't need $1000. dollar smart phones, tattoos, cable tv, vacations, high dollar cars/trucks, big tv sets, sit your ass home and stop spending money you ain't got. It's that simple.

I bought a used car back in 2014 for $6600 from a big dealership on Long Island that had 62k miles on it, I lived a few states away and thought it was a good deal, when I went to pick a month later after getting financing and it had 65k miles on it, I drove it off the lot and didn't make it into Connecticut when the car started overheating, had to have to towed back to the Dealership at my cost and when they diagnosed it they said the headgasket was bad and they weren't going to fix it. So I let it sit on the lot and never paid the loan, they would call and say you need to make a payment and get current and I would say, No you need to Repossess the car that on the dealership lot with no insurance and registration that I cancelled that the Dealership refuses to fix. Finance company had no rebuttal and were stunned. Took over 6 months to repossess the car. I guess it's only when you are trying to keep the car that they repossess it🤣🤣

[@Norm100ful]

Many people we know do not know how to budget. They can’t understand why they are running out of money. Well, every year money is devaluing by about 8% because the politicians are giving away money not covered by taxes that has to be created virtually, so every existing dollar is diluted. Four years ago, inflation and dollar devaluation was only less than 2% yearly, so employers could give small raises to offset devaluation. One friend had a teacher assistant job making below poverty level. She budgeted so well she put her kid through college. She planned every expense. She used coupons, discounts, sales, and drove a car she had for 20 years. She took extra jobs. She actually managed to raise her income, but still maintained a tight budget. Now, she has savings and can finally start improving her home and buy a new car. It is a matter of only spending on shelter, food, and forgoing luxuries. A luxury is anything that doesn’t support acquiring and keeping food and shelter.

[@piledriverpotter9847]

There's only one way to cheap motoring. Buy a £500 banger and run it until something expensive goes wrong with it and if or when it does either sell it on or scrap it. Then buy another banger and repeat the process. If a £500 car lasts you a year then thats £500 a year. Thats not even £10 a week. Nothing compared to £600 to £800 a month on finance or lease that you cant afford just to be one up on your neighbours or people you dont even like.

[@ericeven4090]

Bangers that cheap exist in the UK but not the US really. I was happily buying cars with just a few months left on MOT for a couple hundred quid. In the US a beater is probably close to $2000 now in most places.

[@DanTheManIOM]

Dave Ramsey said if you have to finance the car, you cannot afford it. Find a used car, that runs and has no major issues, run it and learn how to fix it. I am thankful for youtube, so many video on how to fix stuff. I remember the old days, finding instruction manuals in the public library. No reason why you can't do the simple maintenance either.

[@fc872e1]

Very practical and smart advice

[@jonathantaylor6926]

The BNPL repo's are in a different class than your standard repo being reported on by a big bank. The difference is with these BNPL nobody is taking a financial loss. There isn't negative equity involved. So while these are technically "repossessions" they don't really count. This is nothing like when a Uber driver gets his Telluride repossessed and he still owes 47K when the car is only worth 31K because of the high millage. Pretty sure the entire business plan of the BNPL lots is to sell and repo the same car several times. They are happy when you miss a payment.

Bought something you cant pay later. They have the nerve to repo them. lol

I'd like to know where you're finding those cars that don't look so bad for 4 or 5 thousand dollars. Around here, anything without obvious rust and under 150000 miles is 8 to 12 thousand. Y'all can blame politicians all you want, but the price of cars, particularly used cars, is a direct result of corporate greed. The cost of new cars and trucks are up 30% to 50%. Nobody is buying, and the CEO's are almost bragging about how much more they have raised the prices. It's like they're having a race to see who can have the highest prices. When nobody is buying, it raises the price of used cars, just like the chip shortage halted production. Now there is plenty of chips, and manufacturing has exceeded the days supply to even higher than pre-covid levels. There is no reason for the unreasonable prices other than corporate greed and the CEO compensation packages that have doubled. The big 3 are hurting, even Toyota is hurting. They can't sell cars. They've done away with every low trim line meant to be basic transportation. No more Cavalier, no more Neon, no more basic Corolla, or Escort. Everything is designed to be over the top because the margins are higher. The day is coming again, where the big 3 are going to come knocking on our doors looking for another bailout while they still have new 2023's sitting on their lots discounted 10%. That's a 10% discount on a vehicle that's already 30% minimum over priced. I'm in this world every day. It's my job. In my state, there is a dealership still sitting on a few brand new 2022's. They've sat so long that they have basically paid it off on their floorplan and figure they've lost so much money that auctioning it is a worse idea than just letting it rot out there with a $10k discount. The damn price tag hanger and Monroney sticker is faded. Greed, that's the biggest factor. Prices were crazy back in 2019, but nobody really cares because interest rates were 25% of what that are now. It is just my take as a professional in the industry. Flame on if you must. This monster was created much longer ago than people remember.

$500 down and you're driving off the lot. No credit check. No proof of income required. Of course even if they make payments the first time there's any mechanical problem they're not going to have the money to fix the car and make the payment. So why fix the vehicle if they know it's going to be repossessed? Just park it because they're judgement proof. They have no assets to seize or any income they can attach.

[@jonathantaylor6926]

The way it works is these gravel lot dealers buy a car at auction for $3,200 and then sell it for 6K. They get 500 down and the buyer gets an absurdly high payment.. like $700.. so a customer makes 3 payments ($2,100) plus their downpayment of $500. The dealer does not care if on month 4 they need to send a trailer to pick up the car. They got $2,700 and the car back.. now when they sell it again they get another $500 deposit. Now the car is entirely paid for and a new person is on the hook for 700 bucks. This is why they can sell junk.. the car only needs to last another 5 months for them to get all their money back.

In addition to inflation, I blame credit cards for allowing people to buy things that they really cannot afford. It becomes a mindset. Most of the time, we are our own worst enemy with our choices. My first credit card was American Express. You had to pay the balance in full every month. Then after you built your credit score, you could get a Visa or Master card. Back then, many places offered 90 days- same as cash if you lacked the credit. I type this on a 3 year old phone that still works. The single Mom in your scenario probably has a much newer iPhone. Can't afford your lifestyle or lack any marketable skills, maybe don't have children. Then there's the auto industry. Rolling devices that have the same stuff as your phone.

With a built-in cushion for an Awe-shit deal. All of my vehicles are older than 8 years old. I mostly eat in and seldom eat out and I eat left-overs. I make my own coffee instead of going to a coffee shop. It’s OK to not drive a brand new car, not have the latest fashion, not use tabacco, not drink a 6 pack a night, not getting a new tattoo or drinking a Starbucks everyday. If you’re always broke, stop being foolish with your money. Make no mistake.. It’s not that economy is bad… Look at the DOW. It’s higher 40K. Insurance companies have great profits, Walmart-great profits, Airlines-great profits, Costco-great profits, and Business are still hiring. Call it…companies are over pricing for items to keep those profits high. Call it capitalism? Sure? A bad economy is; no one hiring, low wages for the current jobs, no new construction, houses that can’t sell. We are not there. This isn’t 2008-2009.

America has a problem with people not being Financially educated in our school system. It should start in grade school & be required course in high school thru College. Credit card debt starts usually when we haven't even graduated yet. That is BAD debt & car debt is usually almost as bad except the interest rates are usually lower. If you can't Buy the car with cash - you can't afford it. Don't ever go into debt for a depreciating asset. Learn to live below your means. When you start to do that the habits of savings form. Save enough for an emergency fund 1st - at least 3 months of your expenses to live on then contribute to a 401k plan / Roth IRA / Regular IRA. When you live below your means the tough economy & higher interest rates will work in your favor.

LOL the rich will NEVER teach the peasants how money works If they did they might have to work instead of living off capital gains/interest

Does this nurse with kids you mention have a husband?

[@revnation_auto]

It didn’t sound like it when I was being told about it. I agree that’s a major problem though. People having kids and not stepping up.

If you have a 600 credit score you should be riding the bus.

[@christaylor8337]

I have less than 500 because I owe no money to anyone. My car is paid off, I have no debt.

[@CharlesCurran-m9p]

@@christaylor8337 That’s odd. My kid has a 720 score and he only has a phone bill that he pays every month. Funny too, I have no debt and I have an 800+ credit score. They tell me it would be higher if I took out a car loan. Makes no sense.

[@unstoppableplayz6948]

Spoken like a true jackass. Wait until you go through a divorce,or run into a medical emergency. Not only did your credit get destroyed, you think you're going to want to bus it? Don't be so shallow and narrow minded. Nobody likes a narcissist. Life happens to the best of us. You could be next, amigo.Hope you didn't pass that down to your son.

[@revnation_auto]

There’s so many things that can happen can drop your up to 200 points. Many times, it’s not entirely the person’s fault. Crooked industry as a whole.

The old days you could find that used toyota or honda that just needed oil changes and tires and you could drive those forever seemingly.... now we have CVT's and more complex vehicles with proprietary diagnostics and repairs that can only be done at the dealers... In the end - they want us all living like in that movie Good Morning Vietnam... where we're on bikes, 15 minute cities, and we bow to the corporate feudalism kings like soros, musk/zuck (coke vs. pepsi in my opinion)....

People need to stop buying cars and keep what they have and make sure the republicans lobbyist stop dictating laws protecting automakers and banks. Another thing is people need to manage their money much better.

…the world is changing… , globalism is dying… when Americans want, “America first”, that means, made in America… stuff has to cost more.. when the world had free trade, with America policing the high seas, free trade was possible, and every consumer product became as cheap as possible.. ( trade war tariffs changes ALL that). that’s changing now, and there’s gonna be big losers… money is/ will be tighter… lending becomes more expensive… stuff becomes more expensive America builds more stuff here… factories need to be built… it’s a jungle, and hard to get out/ stay out of debt.. the hotel cleaner, or, possibly Nurse Practitioner, needs to , step it up… climb the jobs market… find a good “fix it” guy, and get cheaper wheels…

as the old saying goes....it is expensive to be poor.
