84 months interest free

Ricci.Wright
Heard that this morning on a Florida radio station. From a Chrysler products dealer who said you don't even have to leave the house. We will deliver your new car to you at home. Damn there are some stupid people around. Like old Bruce Williams used to say and I am paraphrasing here. "If you are going to buy a new car and you need more than three years to pay for it, then you can't afford the car".

    I don't like Dodge?Chrysler products, but we had a 1996 Town and Country minivan that we sold a couple of years ago with 354, 325 miles on it.  It had some teeth missing on the fly wheel, and occasionally I had to turn the crankshaft with a ratchet and socket so that the starter could engage on good teeth on the flywheel.

    At the outrageous sticker price of $55,000 for a pickup truck, seven years of payments even interest free still works out to about $655 a month. If you tried to pay that off in 36 months, it would be over $1500 a month. Both of those options are ridiculous - but so is the price of pickup trucks.

    Hell, buy the 'new' car/truck and never make a payment.............drive the thing for 6 or 8 months for free >:)

    Maybe you missed the "interest free" part, eh?

    The interest free part is what I like.  It feels good to make money off a car manufacturer.

    "If you are going to buy a new car and you need more than three years to pay for it, then you can't afford the car".

    How does the above saying bear any relevance when the payments are interest free? Let's say I want to buy a new Tundra, and have the ability to write a check for the whole deal. I just 'might' choose to make 84 interest free payments instead of writing the check. Explain how I can't afford the truck?

    TRUTH.....there is a reason Fiat Chrysler products are so much cheaper than their competitors and it's not because they are a bargain or good value!  Our fleet of Chargers at work has been an exercise in throwing away money.

    Strange, my Chrysler product is will pass 554,000 trouble free miles Monday.  Of course the Chrysler product I drive is a shipping crate for the Cummins motor that powers it.

    Disagree, Chrysler as well as their dealers will quadruple their earnings with the sale of parts and repairs for the suckers that buy them.

    I'm thinking the plastic cc's will cause many to go bankrupt soon.  As the bills come due, many will be losing their vehicles, boats, and other stuff they bought on the easy credit.

    I'm sitting on my cash waiting on good buys on nice guns.

    I was in California after the dot com bust and pawn shops had tons of expensive stuff for sale.
