I know of three people, my neighbor across the street is the latest, who have simply walked away. Unless you buy an absolute 15 year old piece of junk, you are looking at MORTGAGE payments for SEVEN years. I have already told my Wife we are driving the wheels off our two vehicles. Mine is 12 years old. Her CRV is 4 years old. I have grown to despise ALL of the car companies. Pretty soon, we WILL see 10 or even 12 year finance "options". All for "modern" CRAP quality. Cars are nothing buy plastic, run by cheap circuits. I'm honestly hoping to pay off our house before we have to buy another vehicle. And that is 6-8 years away, at least.
