Interesting article on auto loans. America’s middle class can’t afford their cars.
Apparently, auto loans have grown to seven years in length. Interest comment in the article that auto dealers now can make more on their loans than their cars. Other interesting note was that they take these loans and bundle them into a bond like product. Didn’t we learn not to do that from the 2008 credit crisis?
