Trying to buy a vehicle in the USA right now feels a lot like a black market experience.

Put it in H !

How so?

Maybe because of weird new gear selectors and various other untraditional controls.

How does that relate to black market though? I'm very confused as well.

I am totally lost regarding this particular shower thought. Our family has happened to buy two vehicles from CarMax in the last 3 months and both were painless and straightforward.

I also had a smooth experience there. Dealerships sell loans, not cars.

I agree completely. We always show up with a loan check from our bank, we haven't financed through a dealership since our first experience decades ago, which was horrible.

I usually get a dealership loan and then a loan to pay it off a few months later.

Why?

HubertManne@piefed.social · 2 pts · 106d

having a loan for a bit and paying it off at least used to be good for your credit rating. I think I waited at least 3 months. Usually the car loan was not that bad a deal so a few months on it was no big deal. I would probably check if its still a nice credit bump before doing it though because like anything you gotta sorta track how they are doing things at any particular time.

What passenger vehicle are you buying with High-low gears?
