Or they don't buy cars and toys left and right

There was an article somewhere about how the f150 being so expensive and still being the #1 selling vehicle is the reason why people are having trouble when it comes to debt and retirement.

Wonder what ratio is considered “normal” we are way below that but I’m sure once we buy the wife a new vehicle it will be way worse.

Heh here we have about 12k in car debt and I'm not super thrilled about it because I doubled it when I bought the truck

[Jeff V.]

I owe 16ish on the Corvette. Everything else we own outright.

[alienviking]

I have zero on the Caddywagon and Ducati. The gf leases so not sure how to consider that (in fact she is picking up her new leased car tomorrow hah).

[Duck Vader]

I think maybe around 10k on the kia? Not sure exactly. Own the truck and jeep outright.

[Chris GTO TT]

I could pay off the truck and Outback today if I wanted to but just feel like it's not the best use of savings right now.

[Jeff V.]

Same.

[Duck Vader]

Yep

[ChargerX3]

Don’t have a car payment. I must be doing it wrong.

[aaronatstate]

We could pay off our cars right now as well, but were going to use that money to refinance our house instead.

Yes it's the number 1 selling vehicle, but most people aren't buying $60k trucks. Ford sells a lot of XT and XLT's which start at $28,745 and $34,760 respectively.

[DCIV]

Yup. Could pay off cars. I honestly keep my car payment at 100 a month for credit purposes only. I think I only owe 3200 on the escape.

Oh. 2300 in car debt. No point in paying it off at 2.9%

[Chris GTO TT]

Filled up at Costco today put in 25 gallons. I'm averaging 16.6mpg overall since I bought the truck.

Not bad. My Maxima has been getting a bit better.

Lexus gets 17-19, I’m ok with that. I’m sure after lift and tires that will drop. As long as it doesn’t dip below 12-13 I won’t be too upset.

[tabasco122]

Also, owe 13k on the GX, and 18k on the sti. Sti is like 7% interest, not sure if it’s worth it to try and refinance or just pay it down more aggressively.

Nice. I miss the 20+mpg mine used to get without even trying https://www.fuelly.com/car/nissan/maxim ... al65/17469

That's really good for the GX my Sequoia struggled to get much better than 15mpg.

Also my Explorer for comparison... https://www.fuelly.com/car/ford/explore ... l65/449058

Refinance it and then also pay it down.
