i agree, but thats a different argument. Financing is the way most people have cars they cant actually afford. However you manage to acquire $30k, financing, loan, stealing it, finding it.. ect ect...

$30k will buy you an rx7 (or other used car platform ) that will slaughter anything sitting on a dealership show room for $30k.
