Telling Customers they can refinance is the oldest trick in the sub prime car sales book. Financial institutions have certain guidelines when it comes to refinancing a car. Some institutions won't refinance a car over 5 years old or a car over a certain amount of miles.
She should check the refinancing terms with her bank/credit union first.

Why do goofys keep pushing this outdated narrative. I have relatives w/ newer model Dodges (Chargers, Durango's). No reported/major issues. :camby:


:mjlol::mjlol::mjlol:

I used to sling FCA rides and I know that's cap. :rudy:


I'm not saying you don't know folks with non-lemons, but to pretend their cars are reliable or well-made is :duck:.


You know what's up when most of the folks that work at the dealership aren't driving any of that umbrella's brands, you kinda know what's up.

Never finance at the dealer... Go through a credit union... And if you buy used... Don't buy anything used for that much money... Your better off getting a cheaper car that is brand new for that moneu. Hyundai is a great option

Kinda bad advice, stemming from a trend that used to be largely true. :ufdup:


Go with the entity that will allow you to finance the car you want (and can afford :comeon:) with the lowest interest rate.


A lot of times that is through the manufacturer's financing company, especially for new cars, since the manufacturer has the highest incentive to get you to buy that car.

Here's the thing if you're credit is under 650 you are at the mercy of the dealer or bank. The other thing is banks are less liberal with lending money since covid so chances are 25k is the most the bank was willing lend. The QX60 (Formerly the JX) is maybe infinitis best vehicle a comparable Acura (MDX) with low miles is going to cost more and its still a sellers market. Her best bet is to take the deal and refinance.

Nah don’t take that deal.. That Infiniti too old (2015)… that’s why they throwing the high interest at her.. if she got a 2017 model and up the bank would lower the interest rate but they will have to pay a lil more upfront on the down payment

Normally i would agree but right used car prices are brazy. Even 2 model years newer is another 5-6 grand and she's getting the high rate because her credit is bad, the dealer probably had to use a sub prime bank.

My sis is entertaining buying a 2015 vehicle (Infiniti qx60) for around 25K. They told her, her interest rate would be around 14% with the credit score she got, for 60+ months (the whole paying more, improving her score, and refinancing down the line, an option too). :comeon:

By the time she pays that shyt off tho, I advised her that shyt will be 11+ years :flabbynsick:

and potentially a brick. She'd be better pressed to get a newer SUV, plus the interest would be lower, (with the vehicle being slightly newer in 5+ years). She was entertaining a newer Durango btw.:yeshrug:


Am I giving her the correct info, or is it misinformation? :hubie:
There are many different factors that play a part in a high APR%. How much is she putting down. How many miles does the Infiniti have? What's her credit like? Is it new credit or does she have some collections or late payments that are hurting her. Does she keep her cars long or does she trade them in a lot? A lot of people think it's just the score that matters. In reality, not all 600's are the same. I would never entertain a loan that's above 4%, but that's just me. Some people do not have a choice due to their credit. They are more than likely making 2pts on her APR so it more than likely 12% interest. Seems like she's a first time buyer or her credit is weak. Only way around a big APR% with below average credit is a huge down payment. It also depends on who she is getting the loan from. From the looks of the info given she may not be getting better than 8-10%, but I wouldn't be able to fully tell with out seeing her credit. Banks and Credit Unions all have templates of the APR's given to certain cars and credit scores.

She’s in the middle of a perfect storm of buying: bad credit, jacked up prices for old cars due to demand and lack of supply, and jacked up prices for new cars due to demand and lack of supply.
Income tax time is right around the corner…look for even higher demand, lower supply, and ridiculous prices. She’s fuked either way.

I stopped at 14% interest. That right there is a deal breaker alone. She paying credit card interest for a car.

Not only that, the car is damn near 7 years old. So she gonna pay a car note on a 12 year old car at the end?

These car dealerships love fleecing cats with low to bad credit. shyt is disgusting.

Remember my lil brother was so pressed for a car he bought an older whip with a 3 year financing term.... At 24.9% interest from some clown used car dealer.
Car was a 10 year old Mercury Mountaineer at the time :francis:

Told him he betta take that shyt back since it was still within 3 business days. :what:

I would advise everyone to hold off on buying a car period right now. The market is trash

That being said I once bought a $12k civic at 24% interest
After a few months refi'd to 12% and eventually got as low as 3%
All the while paying extra principal. Car was paid off in 3 & half yrs. So it IS possible you just gotta have a plan and discipline

Never take out a loan that has more than 6% interest rate
Of course this makes sense but those with poorer credit usually don't have a choice. Especially starting out in the hole from not being educated on it.

My freshman year at Georgia Tech in Navy ROTC we had a VP from USAA come in and give us a talk and presentation on credit, loans, etc. One of the best and most valuable things ever for me learning how the game works with all that shyt. Especially since our people aren't normally taught this info and we learn unfortunately through fukkin up not knowing better
