[quote=scaredyclassic]At under 1 percent interest for 5 y. It seemed reasonable to finance 100 percent of our cars.[/quote]Yes, scaredy, under 1% is a great rate on a new car loan (not avail on late-model “certified” used cars).
I can’t remember what the OP said their auto loan interest rate was (9-10%?) but it was much higher than <1%.
