There are even people trading their cars into dealerships that are supposedly good used cars but ARE NOT. Most people don't do their oil changes on time.

I had 3 repos. The first 2 was the same car and I got it back both times before getting sent in to the auction. I was young and foolish with my money. Instead of calling the lender and having them work with me, I just missed the payments and prayed. I ended up keeping that car until it died and towed it to the dealer when I traded it in. The 3rd time was during a divorce and my ex stopped paying on the car. She finally gave it back but it was so far behind, I could catch it up and I couldn’t afford to pay for my car and hers.

That’s why it’s tough financing, everyone says I can make the payments, then a job loss and you get behind….but if everyone had 6-12 months of monthly expenses in the bank , that wouldn’t happen…we as people need to have a emergency fund, before we go out and finance a car, go buy clothes , go on vacations,etc…no one want s to do that..saving and having no life is boring extremly boring , but when bad things happen you have a nest egg to save your butt…car payments suck, they will keep you broke…

Same here. I lost my good-paying job & by the time I found another it was at 1/2 the pay. The 2.5 year-old car I turned in was in great shape, very clean. It was a lease. BTW, a collection agency called me & wanted the balance of the lease, which I couldn't afford. By law they had to give me a line-item bill proving the debt. They couldn't, so I ended up not having to pay it : ) I also lost the house I'd built & paid for for 5 years to the bank because I couldn't sell it fast enough. After years of struggling & poverty I now have a modest house & car that are just fine, car almost paid off, house payment very low. I guess we learn to survive.

I worked as a floor plan auditor for over 20 years and walked away from my career in early 2019 just before the pandemic. I saw the writing on the wall back then with where these dealers and the industry were heading. Longer financing terms, more negative equity getting rolled over…and more dealers treading water using floor plans. I knew it was only going to get worse and could never have imagined what we’re seeing now! The ridiculous escalation in prices, since I left the industry, has only compounded all the problems. I’m here to tell you that the automotive industry is in deep doo doo right now and there’s going to be some serious fallout over the next few years. Forget about EV’s…this is a complete industry about to implode. Guess what shoe always falls after the automotive market? I’ll give you a hint….you live in it….and likely have a mortgage. Well, I’m here to say, you better not let the repo man take your car…cuz you might end up living in it real soon!

Most banks in the town I had my lot stopped doing used car lot floorplans. I was thankfully an exception, because I only drew what I needed to buy the car, made any repairs out of pocket and paid off the floorplan draw the day I sold the car. But by 2019, I was out of the business and went back into what I was trained for, college degree in. Accounting. Just got too risky as the large chains were playing with "no down payment" plans. I just refused to sell without a decent down payment. Gotta have some skin in the game. I tried my best to make sure the vehicle was road ready so they would keep it, maintain it, and just make their payments to me on time.

My boss had a brilliant way to get his "repos" back before they became repos AND it got him many more sales. He told customers if they couldn't pay to bring the car back and he would not hold it against them when they finally got money for another ride! This was pure genius because we rarely had to repo and he sold cars to multiple generations of the same extended families. Tom Henry (RIP) taught me much so I'm passing this on. He also never "financed" purchases which is a ton of paperwork. Vehicles were sold for a flat price with no bonus for early payoff (though he would cut folks a break if they were reasonable people) so he technically was taking payments but NOT extending credit.

Thanks to this video I finally understand. Many years ago due to various circumstances I went bankrupt. I had to hand my car back in. When I knew it was happening, I called them and let them know that there was no way.I could do the payments anymore. What would they like me to do? They said they'd have someone come and pick it up. Is when they got there it was spotless. I'd cleaned it inside and out. There were no marks on it at all. The repo guy was supernice and friendly and kind. He said thanks a few times. I couldn't figure out why he was so nice. Thanks to videos like this I now understand.

@@thatguy7085A lot of people in repo situation cannot sell because they owe more than the car is worth. Financing a car that looses value much faster than similar price/style vehicles (or has higher maintenance) is a huge mistake that many people are in because of predatory loans and lack of knowledge.

I live in NYC, the hood, and grew up during the last of the local junk lots era. Meaning nearby makeshift used car lots that were mere abandoned yards where a building once stood with some guy selling a few used cars in them. No office, no nothing, just cars from an auction put up for sale with a number on the windows written in shoe polish. And other folks in the area would pay to house a car there while trying to sell it off too. All you needed was a good decent mechanic to go with you to check the vehicle you wanted, test drive it with the yard owners makeshift dealer plates, make an offer cash on hand, and off you want with the title to the DMV. Never an issue aside from normal wear and tear here and there. 8 cars to date (Camry, Grand Am's, Saturns, Fords, BMW, etc). And now? Ha! Good luck finding a used ride out there at a decent value.

Saw a dealer write up. Trade in 46 value, 300 down and for 49,000. 8.8% interest 7 Years, finance charges were like 28,000+. Total cost came to just over 100,000. That is why. Monthly was like 12, 1300. The cost doesn't come close to the common sense factor and the financing guys just go with it. I am just hitting used car lots and take chances with their half arsed fixed up auction cars for a fraction of a new or almost new car. Put the ego to rest. Buy a dependable beater and wait until prices drop and rates settle down a tad.

Seems to me if you are not making payments and know they will be picking up the car pretty soon, you would would clean up the car and make it as presentable as possible so it will bring the best price at an auction because you are going to be on the hook for the difference in what you owe on the car and what it brings at auction.

Every time I watch your channel I'm reminded why I do not borrow money to acquire a vehicle. Buy the best vehicle you can afford to pay for in cash, including average yearly service costs for the time you expect to own it. Let's say that I want an Audi A4. They had oil consumption problems after 2008, so I buy a low mileage 2008 in 2018. My previous car was a 2000 Audi A4 that I owned since new, so I knew exactly what the yearly maintenance costs would be for an average Audi A4. I bought the 2008 because I had the price in cash, and my yearly maintenence cost since 2008 has been around $2,000-2,500, same as the old car after the warranty expired. Note that in Michigan we have terrible roads, so $500 of that is yearly suspension repairs. If you buy an average, used German car for $10,000 and hope to own it for five years, your actual price will be $20,000 or $22,500 in Michigan. I budgeted $8000 (initial price) plus five years times $2,500 = $22,500 as the amount of cash I needed to own the car until now with proper maintenance and without running into financial problems. You have to be a grown up and use the correct math. If you finance a vehicle, the actual cost is down payment + (payment amount * number of payments) + (typical maintenance per year * number of years). If you can't afford that, you can't afford the car.

The thing about privileged people is they tend to be the only ones blind to it. How long did it take you to save the $20,000+ necessary to afford the car per your own thought process? How were you getting around prior to owning the car? How long was your work commute if you worked on site at the time? Given that a car is but one aspect of an individual's life, how were you able to pour so much cash into the car while still tending to other aspects of your life requiring money? What about emergency funds-how, if at all, were you able to build one in the meantime? Answer these questions and you will quickly see why your advice is impractical for the average American. Car ownership doesn't happen in a silo; "correct math" would consist of taking everything else in account when deciding whether buying cash makes sense for the prospective buyer (it obviously made sense for you).
