You’ve managed to buy the car, but can you afford to keep paying for it? , with the average monthly payment on a new car at an all-time high, new data from auto website Edmunds shows. The result of the one-two punch of higher prices and interest rates is that it’s taking Americans much longer to pay off their car loans — which include crossovers, SUVs and pickup trucks — and more buyers are being pushed out of the car market altogether.
Most $1,000 per month car loans are taken out by people who choose high-interest, longer-term loans. Rising car prices and the growing difficulty to qualify for lower interest rates have forced buyers to stomach a heftier monthly bill over a longer period of time — as long as seven years — for a lower down payment up front. In 2004, only 1% of auto loans lasted six to seven years. Now those long-term loans are 30% of the market. Only 5% of loans are paid off in two-and-a-half to three years.
Well, time to start throwing coins in the wishing well for that luxury car dream. 🤑🤞 -US
found the next bubble
Prices are high only if you're trying to buy the car to impress people instead of buying the car you need
