@slowmotionmeech: The dealership is NOT your friend. 🛑 Car salesmen are trained to get you focused on the monthly payment so they can hide the true cost of the vehicle, stretch out your loan, and bump up the interest rates. If you want to walk onto the lot with all the leverage, you need to follow these 3 rules: 1️⃣ Ditch Dealership Financing: They almost always mark up the interest rates for extra profit. Get pre-approved at a local bank or credit union before you even look at a car. 2️⃣ Buy Comfortably: If you have to sign a 72 or 84-month loan just to "afford" the payment... you can't afford the car. Stick to what fits your budget without stretching the terms. 3️⃣ The 5-8 Year Sweet Spot: Let someone else take the massive depreciation hit. Just make sure the mileage fits this formula: Age of the car × 12,000 = Max Mileage. (Example: A 6-year-old car should have less than 72,000 miles).
