Dump trucks are a big problem in a busy highway, they run so fast, even if its unnecessary. Car buyers have become fewer over the last year or so, as available credit for things such as cars and other big ticket items such as boats and houses and so forth has dropped off the face of the earth. Car buyers are faced with a scarcity of credit, but a surplus of vehicles. Coming up with a down payment is one of the harder parts of securing financing, and some people usually trade in as their down payments. Some people are diligent and determined enough to come up with a cash down payment on the loan for their new auto, and some car buyers are using installment loans for just that purpose.
I second that motion IBD.
