The BIGGEST SCAM Car Enthusiasts Fall For...

Y'all really letting dealers play you with 29.99% APR, huh? So many TikTok Clout Culture bois flexing their Auto Loans too dumb to realize THEY PAID TWICE THE LISTED PRICE. It doesn't matter how hard you negotiate down payment, monthly payment, or List Price, if you fall for the tried and true APR.
APR ain't your normal percentage, it's a monster in the making. In small amounts, it's like spice on your potatoes, but in larger numbers, it's an effing Alien Civilization straight up Merc'ing Humans left and right. I'm talking bout All Tomorrows level of tomfoolery. APR Is the MF Qu waiting to turn you into some monstrosity. That's what I mean when I say Clout is one helluva drug. Y'all out here thinking you're smoking tha goo shiiiiiii when in actually you're inhaling mf low quality lung rupturing low grade garbage. Why act all Hard just cause you got a Hellcat? Oh I can't tell you what to do with your money? MF watch the video and go back to Grade School if you still don't understand the words I just presented and threw down, yet you still not relented?
With 29% APR, The bank takes more from you, than the Principal do. That means the car ain't yours, the money ain't yours, the only thing that is yours, is this MF Clown Paint, so put it on fool. Go on and act hard, act like your ego means it all, but if you don't listen, and still insist on dissin, then MF enjoy the fall. I ain't even gonna lay a bed out for you...so you can hit the ground hard.
But for those who do realize, take your life back. Why pay a car twice that you only expected to pay once? You went in and asked for ONE Car didn't you? So why the hell you paying for TWO? A. P. R. Mothertrucker that's why. It's got you pinned against the wall, smacking that booty and giving ya a scar. MF patch yo self up and fight back, otherwise you full blown the Bank's hoe, so open up and cough em more dough.

Because it was my first Car I bought with my own money, I wanted it to last at least 10 years after my purchase of it.

[@IWLGaming]

This is terrible financial advice. Dealers can't hold that much rate and WANT you to buy the car, why the hell would they give you a high apr if they could get you a lower one, lower payment, and make you more likely to buy the car? That interest is paid to the banks not the dealers. The thing about a credit card with very small purchases building your credit better than a car loan is also completely wrong and when i worked at dealerships, I saw that misinformation hurt people DAILY. It might build your SCORE, but your "high credit" is shit, and that matters a lot. It's called being a thin file, and a bank sees you the same as a no score. Funnily enough financing is actually one of the few places dealers DON'T try to screw you, because they can't control it

I got 0.9% APR on a special for Ford Credit; only paying about 550$ in interest for the entire loan. The dealer tried to get me on a lower monthly payment at 7.99 % APR through another bank but I did my research beforehand and confronted them about it. Take a look at manufacturer specials people, be patient and you’ll end up with a good deal.

[@BladedAngel]

Patience and not being fooled by "Lower monthly payments" are two great tips some ppl need to hear. They'll just hone in so hard on "I owe less each month" not realizing less of it goes to principal and more goes to interest, so they're paying more over the whole loan period.

[@SHzmc0]

[@MuddyTubMedia]

Yeah never answer a salesman when they ask “what kind of payment are you looking for”. Because that’s exactly what they’ll be trying to pull. Always get your own financing. 0.9% is great. Damn near a free loan.

[@TheyCallMeMrMaybe]

I know automaker banks typically do 0% or rebates without 0% finance, but "7.99%" to me is absurd. And the idea is that if you're able to pay it off sooner, it's less going to the interest and more to the principal. APR actually works on a per-day rate (I'm watching my loan grow about a dollar a day from PNC). But typically, if credit is good enough to qualify for 0% or for that low-APR from Ford Credit, it should qualify for 2-4% with another bank. Dealers get commission from banks for setting them up with loans. To me, 7.99% meant that bank was paying the highest commission to he F&I guy.

[@robreeto]

One big thing that you can do is to have a pre-approved loan from a bank or a credit union before you even walk into the dealership.

Obvoiusly the faster you pay it, the less the APR matters. Some dealers will punish you with fees for paying off early OR become a stiff brick wall on the price if you say, "i'm paying in full". Think of it this way. WHy would I sell to you and make the list price (You buying it in full as listed) when I can get interest off a sucker? You should never underestimate the snake mind of dealers, so IMO, the best deal possible is to still negotiate with them as if it were a normal financing transaction. Then before you sign the last paper (and already did most the other shit) you ask, "Are their any early pay off fees?" if they say no, then you sign it, and pay it off literally the first payment. That way, you still got them to nudge the price down THINKING you were gonna loan it the whole period. NEVER announce you're paying in full to a dealer, that actually PISSES THEM OFF!!!! I was showed the door 2 times for trying to buy a Mustang in Full (With Check) then I went home and googled why that was the case.

If your credit is bad enough that you have to worry about APR, don't consider buying anything that you can't pay with what you can afford with money in your accounts. But if your credit is good, it can make more sense for you to loan even if you can afford it outright.

Don't let em make you walk away with anything over 5. Here's a video showing how you should've been treated with that good of a score> kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXWuqWdmm796eas&t

How?? My cred is 600 and mine was 5% on a 64k truck with $15k down

[@CobaltTheLioness]

I dunno if my age and how long I’ve had my license affects that. I’m 22 and I got my license January 2019.

[@carlotlife5013]

What the creater of this video doesn’t do for a living like myself is sell cars… you being a 700+ doesn’t mean you get a super low rate. If your car is older and has miles that has a huge impact on your rate as well. All lenders have rate sheets. For example a 2014 with over 100k miles won’t get you a rate that a 2018 with 30k miles will get you

[@deathfrombelow688]

Glad this video exists. Lots of great information that my parents nor teachers in school never taught me

I am not in the market for a car but I just wanted to compliment you on what a great service to humanity you are doing. You are really saving people from disaster.

[@FooTude]

It's insane how these dealerships are allowed to get away with this practice

[@NotALotOfColonial_SpaghettiToG]

Dude, I'm not really big on cars but this advice is a life saver. My family isn't very accepting of me, so there's a lot of risks I'm left in the dark on because I can't just go to my dad or mom and be like "yoo so they're offering me 5 dollars a month with 80% APR is this a scam???"

[@Thoroughly_Wet]

Skimp and save is the name of the game. Usually by the time you get enough to buy a new model you could afford two of the same model two years older used. I know a guy who got a 2015 hellcat that was leased by an older man for just above half the price of a brand new 2020's. Dude saved since junior year of highschool when they announced the hellcat. Dude got the car he wanted with very few differences compared to the newer model year and with what he saved buying used didn't even break even with sticker when he updated everything to "2020" options.

[@beddietv6139]

This is the best and most simplified explanation I've ever seen 👏

[@Swooshpragler]

Can someone anywhere in Europe tell me if they know if super high APRs even exist over here? I had never even heard of it before watching D. Doug and Bladed. To my knowledge, over here it's a race on who can advertise the lowest rate - even if at the end of the day it's not exactly low either. And yes Europe varies from country to country but I feel like the EU and the non-EU countries would have put some sort of consumer protection law in place. ...I am too lazy to google it

[@neblolthecarnerd]

Interested in how the UK does it for sure

[@BladedAngel]

Most places are below 5% for Car Loans in EU, some even as low as 1% and some areas are even doing DECIMALS (0.15% etc). So you're right. European Car Dealerships are competing so effectively against each other due to customer intelligence (and lack of Clout negligence) so people there are smart enough to get lower APR. Some areas in Asia though also have AWFUL APR going north of 20% on Car Loans. www.financialadvisory.com/world-car-loans.html

[@Swooshpragler]

@@BladedAngel Very interesting, thank you Bladed for the link and the info! I gotta say though, I can't help but feel like the governments/EU played their part to help keep them low, because inevitably there's a lot of ignorance here too. And maybe gas prices also play a role, considering how much more expensive it is over here compared to the US, limiting both manufacturers and consumers in terms of choice.

[@r.i.peperoniiiiroh9625]

i buy second hand so i always just pay full, my parents do that too just all in once, my mom even did that in america when she was there the dealer was so confused he had to look up what the price the car actually was...

[@neblolthecarnerd]

@@r.i.peperoniiiiroh9625 yea buying in full is a lot more normalised over here in the EU. I think that UK schools don't teach enough finance (I'm 16, most of my finance knowledge comes from tangents in maths or business as well as outside of school stuff) but from what I can tell we end up a lot better than the US.

[@gschaib3209]

This video was a massive eye opener. Haven’t financed any vehicles yet, but when it comes time to get a new vehicle I like down the line, I’ll definitely have this video saved for it!

[@christopherbarrett7760]

Yeah I don’t recommend a lot of debt but I’m not one to talk. I finance a $57K truck but I had equity in my previous truck and after all taxes and fees I think I got it at $49K. Not too bad at my income level, but also I pay about 25% extra every month too, to eliminate interest as much as I can even tho I only have like a 3.6% rate

[@GreenMonster177]

I was one of them, I bought a car worth 10k with the APR at 22% annually, but when I went to the finance office to make the first payment the lady at the counter looked over my loan and said I was paying way too much interest and advise me to pay the car off before the year ended which saved me thousands of dollars

[@bla9ckcob5ra]

With a < 550 credit score I was offered a 29.99% on a v6 loaded Camaro. They would only sell the one they had on the lot, it was a loaded sunroof leather interior Camaro that was 36.9. After the term I think I was looking at either 52k or 62k over the life of the Loan. I ran. Surprisingly enough, after improving all me credit scores to over 700, I couldn’t get financing for a ~26k Mustang GT with a plan Discount and a 5k down payment. The reason being my income. It hadn’t change since the approval for the 29% interest for the Camaro. I was turned off of credit in general after that experience and been paying cash for every car I’ve brought since.

[@ph4t4lity06]

Easy way to describe is, "you pay 30% of what you originally owed, per year that the loan isn't paid off." Simple numbers, 30% of 9000 is 3000, a 5 yr loan at ~30% apr means you pay 3000 for 5 years on top of the 9000 original loan (3000x5=15000) final cost is 9000+15000=24000

[@XLR8R018]

Happy with my Mustang GT. 48 months of $474 @ 1.49% APR. Did the math and my loan is costing me $700. Got it for 7k under MSRP too. All about being a shrewd negotiator lol. Did all my negotiations over the phone, never walked into a dealer until I had my price. Ordered my car so I didn't have to worry about finding a car with similar options, could just get exactly what I want.

[@tutoszn]

It is definitely worth making sure that any extra payment is applied directly to loan principal rather than just advancing payments (and thus mostly paying interest ahead)

I got hit pretty hard on my first car from a dealer, it was 24% for a 2014 hyundai elantra at $12k which was base model, but I got hit by an israeli bank, so that 24% was quarterly, before I traded it in I owed $16k on a car I was paying into for 3 years, my second dealer car is my V6, AWD Chrysler 200 S with less miles than the elantra had when I bought it, but with 5% apr

I've never bought a car on credit, partly for this reason. It just always made more sense to me to go buy a $1,300 Saturn and my only payment being to fill it with oil (not gas XD).

[@ducknorris233]

On the other hand the APR for someone with good credit is very close to nothing. I was using a online calculator like this when deciding to buy a car and I liked the monthly payment until I realized the APR was set to zero. I set it to 3.5% and was expecting the worst but the monthly payment went up less than $30.

[@mattlevine3201]

When you started talking about not being married to a car, It was very relatable because I had to let go a bunch of cars because the dealership would not take the price me and my dad wanted

Yup, fell into that trap buying my first car, finding out mere months later that even people with worse credit than mine didn't have interest as high, ended up owing about 30 grand on a car that cost 15k

[@MudukTV]

I bought my z06 in full payment last year. It was originally 70000 due to covid inflation, however, I was able to negotiate it down to 62,000 for paying in full in cash. Save up some money then buy the car you wish! By the way, I saved up that money throughout 4 years of military service.

[@noodlez6651]

yknow this is actually really good advice, thanks bladed

[@chrisk1255]

If your credit is that bad and you don't qualify for a lower APR, you should not be looking at $40k vehicles. You should be looking more at cars in the $5-10k range

[@Nasa-cosmonaut]

Happened to me. $550 a month, for 60 months. A $22k car. $34k out of pocket, and they'll do all they can to get you in with these second chance banks. They shotgun your credit, and now even go up to 7 year loans, which makes the bank even more money. It's a sham.

Also make sure you read the documents. One dealership tried to add the amount that you would have paid on an APR and add that to the original price. So even know you may pay it off early you still pay the same amount because the percent was already calculated in put into the loan

[@MobiusOne6]

The only problem with the car searching strat is dealerships have (at least last year) no cars to compete against each other with. I ordered my Mustang in December and it finally came in early March. There literally were NONE at the dealers. I had to wait for them to even order-build one for me since they were so backed up and didn't want to take my supplier discount (I walked away at that point, sure enough a month later they came back wanting my business). They got me with 2.79% apr which for my credit is meh. But I'll just pay it off over the next few months and it won't end up more than a couple hundred in interest (no early repayment fees is a thing to look out for too). As a side note, I wasn't approved for the first loan they tried to get, apparently not because of my credit score, but because of a lack of large loans in my history. Credit score itself is not necessarily the only thing that matters! Honestly now is a great time to hold debt anyway due to high inflation. I envy people who bought houses over the past year with these APRs... they are making out great on mortgages despite the heightened principle.

This are very, VERY solid advices. Here is another: If it's Your first car - get a shitbox.

It's a shitbox - sell it for scrap and get another one. No loans no debt.

[@XGenBoomer]

Dealerships have a buy rate and a sell rate on the interest rates on the loans that THEY procure for you. You want the BUY rate not the sell rate. The sell rate is basically a marked UP buy rate. Negotiate this and use those exact words (buy rate and sell rate) and the dealer may think that you’ve maybe worked at a dealership and they will treat you differently. They will treat you more like a savvy customer and present you with LESS BS. Great advice in this video. ✊🏿
