shinyshimmery Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) Recreating this thread since ATRL seems to reinvent themselves more than Demi Lovato and my ish keeps getting deleted... Sisters, with the current state of the economy... more and more Americans are paying over $1,000 a month for their car payments. The average car payment in the U.S. has reached $716. https://www.bankrate.com/loans/auto-loans/average-monthly-car-payment/#:~:text=the best deal.-,Car payment statistics,of 2022 were used vehicles. So, how much are you paying for you car? Mine personally is $686 Edited April 28, 2023 by shinyshimmery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
305 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Used to be $262 since I leased my car pre-COVID. I shopped around to see if I'd get a new car but these new rates are ridiculous, all the csr salesmen were freaked out that my payment was so low. They said I wouldn't find anything under $500, so I kept it and took out a loan to buy it and now it's $378. It's insane how expensive it is these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladiator Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 $320 a month, but I think I'm going to refinance it next year a second time. I refinanced it once already. It started at around $450. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CottageHore Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Mine was $212 a month which isn’t bad at all but then my engine blew last June and I literally still owed $10k on it. I finally paid it off and now I never want a car payment again. I’d literally rather pay $4k in cash for a decent car from 2010 every five years or so than be in debt because of a car again. These prices should be illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taste of Honey Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 $327 and about halfway through. I bought my previous cars outright so, needless to say, I’m not loving this. Probably going to refinance soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
