You mentioned a "normal 6 year loan"...... When did 6 years become the norm? I don't really know, but if that is the norm, it is up from 5. 60 month loans have been the norm for years.
How long before 7 year loans are the norm.....
I personally do not want to be paying on a car for 6 years, but other people's tolerance levels are different, so no big deal to me.
Car prices just seem to be going up, and up and up. It's crazy.
