It’s becoming harder to ignore the advertisements of “NO MONEY DOWN! NO INTEREST FOR SIX YEARS! NO PAYMENTS FOR SIX MONTHS!” and the whopper: “WE’LL PAY YOUR RENT OR MORTGAGE FOR TWO MONTHS!”
Do I need a new car? No. Bu t, what if I could score a sweet deal on a new GTI, AllTrack, or Forte GT?
Hard to say no to it.

I fell for buying an Alltrack. It’s great.

I’m in the same boat but luckily the dealerships are closed so I can’t do anything rash

Hello in the same boat. Holding on a Blue Golf R when dealers open, maybe, maybe not...

NO! DON’T GIVE IN! PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER, MAN!
[SLAP!]
You know it’s expensive. You’ll get hit with depreciation! It’s not worth it! Don’t go to the dark side, just buy a Miata.
Miata is your friend, you can trust it.

Smart money borrows at low rates and puts it into things that will return at a higher rate. A car, even at 0%, isn’t one of those things.
That said, if you need a car, go for it. Haha

Right now the deals are mainly limited to manufacturer incentives. Dealers are otherwise trying to hold the line, at least until they start feeling the crunch more.

The dichotomy of being generally fiscally responsible but loving cars (and going to the track) is a complex relationship - ha!

If Jeep offers 0% on Wranglers...
Of course, my credit score sucks, so I’m not eligible anyway. And who knows if my job will be around for 7 months, let alone 7 years.

The forte is teasing me right now too, was already planning on a new car by the end of the year but now.....

If your current car is paid for, keep enjoying not having payments.
A new car WILL mean payments for years. And think about all the other things you could do with that money.

then again, if you borrow a chunk of change at 0% to buy an air-cooled Porsche ...

It kicked the Miata out of the driveway but it’s not kicking the Exocet out of the garage. Big Boi has a some wide doors.

I bought this thing like 2 weeks before coronavirus hit the US. I’m lucky I still have a job.

Hope we both get to say that a couple months from now!
