I was looking for a new car a few years ago, but i didn't have to rush, i didn't have a car for almost two years and just used my work car if i really needed one. Then covid hit and i was still sometimes browsing cars. People were selling the cars they no longer can afford and i was fucking shocked to see people selling cars saying that the monthly pay off is like 1200 or shit like that. Who would think that is a good idea? If you can afford it there is no reason to pay it off, and if you can't, it's too expensive. That is just the car payment, no insurance or road fees or anything.
$1200 is ridiculous. That's how much my mortgage is.
