    The most valuable information starts at ten minutes into the video on financing add ons including useless warranties.

    I'll give this a 'like' sight unseen.
    Car prices, along with most everything else prices remain eye-wateringly high and interest rates for cars are around 3-4% as of today at my CU.
    However (comma!!!)
    This is for people with a 825+ credit score financing a new or nearly new loan for 24 months.
    Not everybody does that.

    Used car loans can get well into double digits rather quickly, especially if we're talking about something that's more than about 5 years old.
    Many new car dealerships make their REAL money on the used car side of the house....

    Car salespersons are like politicians.....only less ethical.
