New Tahoe is like 80k

Finance the 80k at 8%

Invest the 80k in the stock market or crypto --> 10% gains on average.

Pay back the 8%, and put the 2% in your pocket -- free and clear profit (minus tax obv)

Buy a 20k - 30k car and the 2% margin is obviously way lower

This is the stuff you learn as a finance ug. Just felt compelled to share with you arts and liesures guys

Let me push back on that a bit. This only works if you sell the car and invest the proceeds, but the car cannot be sold without paying down the loan under conventional financing terms.

I was thinking this. He says "invest the 80k." What 80k? Thats in the dealerships bank account. All you can do to get actual cash now is sell the car. And youd would sell at a loss of course.
