The lady bought a $51k Acura and the dude bought a $80k Ram.
These aren’t exactly “just trying to get by” vehicles. These are financially stupid people not wanting to work within their financial means for a vehicle. They wanted a too expensive for them “looks good so people don’t think I’m poor” vehicle and now are getting bit in the ass by it.
The article is making it out to be they are just trying to get by in life. Uh no.
I bought a rebuild Subaru for $15k and have gotten almost 150k miles out of it in the past 5 years.
There's no way I would buy a new vehicle unless I was significantly stable in my finances and made way more money.
I don't understand why people who can barely afford them buy new vehicles when there are much cheaper used options.
