I agree 100%

Sad but true. Most people don't do their homework before purchasing a car or they zero in on lowering the monthly payment and extending the loan as a means of purchasing a car they really can't afford. I won't finance anything longer than 4 years. My payments may be higher that most but I be damned if I pay for a car for 6 or 7 years. I like not having a car note.
