You got 30% of :derp: 's rollin in negative equity into cars that are about to dump by 20-50% over the next 3 years according to morgan stanley.

Just :disgust:

Maybe I should just :troywax: more... I got burned last time because I was responsible and didn't flip homes ... Obama bailed everyone one... it'll happen again. If enough of the country is :derp: you can just swim downstream and reap the benefits.

Wow. This is just :disgust:

Clearly we've exceeded natural demand and are forcing people at this point with unhealthy practices. Legit :|

It's most concerning that this is happening while used car values are still high. Imagine the size of these loans and the terms...

All we need is a contraction in the labor market for full :nuke:

Bruh. They DESERVE those 4 cylinder camaros. $700 payment is chump change for the car of your dreams.

$5k of negative equity, rolled into a new car loan of 84 months.... is $60 a month. That's it. They mask this shit by extending the loans out to retarded lengths.

This is probably what happens when you basically produce a lot and then get used to that sort of scaling and have no other way to back it up. Might be why Tesla is worth more than Ford in terms of share price/investment.

The big manufacturers have to realize that they can't rely on revenues from car sales moving forward, and at least expect a dip. But, that probably won't happen, industry will crash and at least one of the big 3 will end up getting a bail out from the gov

The car manufacturers have to rely on new car sales. It's what they're gauged on. If they fall off the sales race, their stock price will nosedive, and they'll lose billions in shareholder value. So the solution is clearly to crank out cars at fire sale prices with super long loan terms so that the payments are low enough for :derp: s to make poor financial decisions.

Cheap cars?

I'll go pick up a GMC Canyon 12,000 off MSRP 3.9% APR for 102 Months.
a C7 GS 25,000 off MSRP 3.9% APR for 156 Months

What can possibly go wrong?
