I think that you shouldn't finance a car in the first place. If yoy can't afford new buy maybe a couple years old but a car is think not worth financing. Especially because it loses value so quickly
I agree that you shouldn't finance a car, but unless you've got ten grand saved up you can't afford one, and most people in the US need them to get around due to our shitty public transit.
Public transport is shitty in Belgium too but 10K for a simple car? People who can't afford a new car should imo buy a used shitbox and not fonance something(unless it's some rare car/oldtimer as investment).
You'd be hard-pressed to find a reliable used car for under $10k in my area. Anything less than that is over 15 years old and probably won't last long. And even then the cheapest thing I can find is still almost $5,000
Rip, here you can find old(10-20y olds) but seemingly reliable cars for 2-5k
