Then keep that car for a long time, like 8-10 years. Yeah, I know it feels strange to write a check for $20800, but I think it is the right thing to do. |

I think there is something wrong with that picture. I will put your words you said back into your mouth... suck it up, take the advice that has been given and get your own set of wheels that you can be proud to say you own.

Replying to: bls2753 (Jul 23, 2006 10:08 pm) In many of these areas, a median priced new vehicle, approaches the cost of an average 3 bedroom home. The mean household income is often around $30K per year in such areas. Combine this with the fact that many local banks have been taken over by large regional or national chains, and that many won't make a car loan for less than $8K or so, and you have a definite market for the BHPH dealer. You would be surprised at the reasonably educated, moderate income individuals, who shop regularly at these dealers.
