      Come on like half of car sales in US are financed.

      You know that Healthcare and housing is the last resort I’m talking about - where you have no other option.

        The US is reliant on cars, but many people cannot afford buying them outright or low-interest loans. This is by design, not choice.

          Bullshit. Used car market exists since the invention of a car. If you need a vehicle that will drive your ass from point A to the point B you absolutely have no need to buy a brand new one.

            The used car market is volitile, regional, and often close to new in price. Stop blaming systemic issues on actions of individuals. I’m not saying that it’s impossible for one to make poor financial decisions, but instead that the very system is designed around maximizing profits squeezed from the working classes.
