Date: September 10th, 2025 10:31 AM Author: preventive strike Yea i think thats accurate. the bill is $6k. we have a 10 year old sedan and i really don't want to buy a new car. he said you can pay with cash check credit...or have you heard of AFFIRM? i applied for got approved for and set up auto payments in under 2 minutes.
How are they making any money on a loan that i pay off in six months and don't pay any interest on anyway? |

Date: September 10th, 2025 10:32 AM Author: shortporch adelson ((zurich is stained)) my guess is they rope you in with that "no money down!" shit and assume you're going to go off on a spendign spree with other shit and find yourself in debt up to your eyeballs in jewish interest payments.
you are using it the tcr way, assuming there's no hidden bullshit in there.
$6k on a 10 year old car is some shit man, what was wrong |

Date: September 10th, 2025 1:10 PM Author: preventive strike what exactly do you think would happen in that scenario? so i dont pay, and the bank with the loan sues me and gets a judgment saying that i have to pay that plus interest plus attorneys fees. then the bank gets to subject me to post-judgment enforcement and gets turnovers of my bank accounts.
meanwhile i end up paying 4x the amount of the original balance and my credit goes to shit. |

Date: September 10th, 2025 12:39 PM Author: See Ex. C at Bates No. 000001 (gunneratttt) places that offer 0% financing typically don't have an upcharge for taking advantage of it. meaning the cash buyers subsidize it. this is the same reason anyone with sense pays with credit cards for everything.
