You said all he put down was what he could afford. Bragging or not, that's a stupid statement.
Yet he did try to defend it. Context, remember?
how can you say i'm backpedalling when my position hasn't changed one bit (for the record, it's that what you put down on a car doesn't indicate that's what you can afford)?ed-hh
Especially given the low rates available for car loans and the market, only those who are stupid with money, debt averse, or out of the market would put more down than necessary.
Now you're just trying to backpedal, ed, because you're trying to lecture me with a point I raised first.
Specifically I pointed out that pedantically it was a possibility, but contextually, there has been sorts of TMI info volunteered (down to monthly payments on the maxima, for example), but ZERO mention of an exploitation of a good finance rate as a decision factor in any fashion. As such, you're asserting that there must be a fire where there's not even any smoke.i'm not asserting other than that the amount one puts down doesn't indicate that's all one can afford.
