Is This The Worst Automotive Financial Advice Ever Printed?
In this day and age, there are a lot of people who will try and do whatever they can to sell you something. Regardless of if you need it or if it’s a smart decision to spend a lot of money on something like a fancy car, that won’t stop companies from going out there and telling you that you can be behind the wheel of a luxury machine with a couple of easy steps. Heck, if you don’t have the funds available, they will even sell you the cash needed to purchase such a car, of course, with a little bit of interest to go alongside it so they can get a kickback over a couple of years. Sometimes, it might make sense, but other times, you really need to take a step back and look at what you’re doing to make sure that all of your ends align.
This time, we follow along with Rob Ferretti as he takes us inside of an article that he found online promising people with everyday incomes that they can afford extraordinary machines.The advice starts out as less-than-perfect and as the article goes on, it gets deeper and deeper into the entanglement of information that you probably don’t want to get yourself involved with. If it sounds very much like to get rich quick scheme, that’s probably because it is.
Personally, when reading something like this, anything past the beginning part where they tell you to get 144-month financing on the car, I would read for entertainment value only. For 90% of real life applications, that line in and of itself seems to be a pretty big joke if you ask me. Anyway, you can follow along with the video below as Rob takes the liberty of going through each step that seems to get worse and worse as the article goes on. After listening to all the BS that there is to say about this breakdown, tell us if you think there’s any merit in this collection of words that seems to be nothing more than a hot steaming pile of clickbait.
