when has it ever helped safety?

lol

i imagine you being this obtuse is a byproduct of being so far up your own ass

as to why take a no interest loan when i can buy outright, look up time value money

the research i did for both the current model and few years back showed i paid below market average

but yea i am sure you know better with zero specific details

hell credit arbitrage alone would be like 15k and that’s really conservative

yea i’ma gonna take my actual research over some vague logic and feels even if i agree in principle, vaguely hand waving about bad deals while eating interest for the same otherwise price is lol

yea truth, i am not trusting of american car quality

where is this world of perfect information you have about car prices?

far as i know i paid under regional prices on the average before even the no interest

but if you have a source i’ll take it

if you’re having to get another mechanic to look at it, i’d probably not come back

already said fuck you to honda ever again for this kinda behavior

it can be as simple as selling at cost / relatively small loss keeping you in an ecosystem for future knock on profits

not as common in cars but plenty of examples in retail

they’re definitely making less margin and there are plenty of loss lead situations or outside pressures in the short term

you can see what the car was selling for prior months so  I’m not sure how much you think it could be increased without it being obvious? (steam sales come to mind)

better argument would be how much they think they’d lose not selling current inventory and what you could potentially haggle the price down to vs you don’t for this deal but that’s insider info I would not have

and I did haggle that some as well anyway

beyond that, if i was that price sensitive, i would not be buying new

but i’ve seen so many people chase a better deal into future problems

who said the car was free?

you’re just not paying interest

0 percent interest auto loans are a thing

what bullshit

why do i care if the extreme option is taken against oil companies

depends

exhibit A: rfk jr

preparation and luck or nepotism

is the joke horror or swinger?

the bribes cleared

it could distort the signal or add noise

gotta include the hippie sabotage remix too

how?

you misunderstand, that’s the thinking part

put advice into context sure

but people just love to dismiss thoughts (including advice) because of their source

hell some of the best advice is in spite of their source and the opposite of their intent
