Date: September 10th, 2025 10:31 AM Author: curious obsidian parlor Yea i think thats accurate. the bill is $6k. we have a 10 year old sedan and i really don't want to buy a new car. he said you can pay with cash check credit...or have you heard of AFFIRM? i applied for got approved for and set up auto payments in under 2 minutes.
How are they making any money on a loan that i pay off in six months and don't pay any interest on anyway? |

you are using it the tcr way, assuming there's no hidden bullshit in there.

meanwhile i end up paying 4x the amount of the original balance and my credit goes to shit. |
