financial analyst Mellody Hobson reports that stretch-loans -- loans paid back over a long period of time and popularized during the Great Recession -- come with a huge downside.
The average loan now lasts more than five years. Hobson warns that paying for your car over such a long period renders them like homes, which can end up "underwater." Over the years, not only will you end up paying more in interest, you wind up with a car worth less than the payment you're making.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

There is no excuse to allow a car dealer to take advantage of you. There is a wealth of free information that can be had with a simple Google search. Some people just don't care to educate themselves

Well it certainly makes sense from an economic stand point, and like it is mentioned the value of the car decreases so you are paying the same amount on a depreciable asset, which makes no sense. These loans seem attractive at first because you think you only spending a little at a time, but when you think about it you are paying more in the long run. It just takes some common sense from people, but sometimes that is asking too much.
