    Was hilarious to sit at the desk in the stealership with my wife while we were buying a used car.
    Wife has a masters degree in mathematics and a near photographic memory for numbers , and every time that slimy sales weasel said something , half a second later she’d interrupt and tell him his math was wrong ,
    The sales weasels would say the interest rate was X and quote the payment and she’d do the math and realize he was actually charging 2.5% more interest , etc

    we’ve been married 26 years and we’ve financed exactly ONE vehicle purchase , just had a baby , just bought a 55 year old house and her car got totaled while sitting in a parking lot , funds were thin and we needed a family truckster right away.
    That’s the one and only time we didn’t pay cash for a used vehicle .

    same with my trucks , the first one I did a lease purchase , and after that, the other 7 rigs were paid for in cash .

    I bought my 2 trucks in May of 2021 from Ryder. 2 box trucks, 1 refer, and 1 dry box. About 6 weeks later prices shot to the moon. I should have bought another refer and flipped it. I haven't checked in a while, but last I did prices came down slightly, but inventory was scarce.
