I also asked a similar question to my Audi sales guy a few months ago about how many people finance/lease vs cash and he just looked at me weird and said almost everyone leases or finances and those that finance are doing 60-72 mo loans.
Yeah, I bet the majority of GT cars are also financed or leased vs being paid for in cash. There's only so many people who can wire out $200k+ for a toy. The question is which group of buyers is using financing/leasing more...the MSRP group or the ADM group.

Auto loans at 2%, inflation at 6.8%. Why would anyone pay cash ….

True but it's not best to get loans on depreciating assets. I bet there's a lot of people out there that have began using their homes as a piggy bank to buy their toys.

This forum seems to categorize all buyers who finance into 1 camp, while there are many different camps. For example, there is a massive difference between owing $100k versus $180k on a $200k car. Putting 50% down versus 10% on a depreciating asset goes a long way. That's my personal rule if I finance a car, 50% or more down, I never finance more than half the car.

Having enough money in the bank to buy a car and using financing as an instrument is much different than not being able to afford the car but leveraging to the max and taking out 144 month loans.

Use financing to your advantage if you can actually afford the car.

God forbid this ADM thread turns into a personal finance thread. Hahaha

although I’m one to pay cash for cars let’s just cut to the end and say everyone’s personal situations are different and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach.

Personal finance is 80% psychological, 20% math

Oh well...delete my post. lmao I could say it but I won't say it for fear of this thread being turned into a net worth job.
