$80K for a Base Trim Kia. This Is Fine.

$934/month. 84 months. 17.5% interest. On a base model Kia Carnival. That's nearly $80,000 for a minivan that stickers around $37k. She's paying for two cars and getting one. And the Facebook comment section response? "At least she got a new car." This is exactly how the predatory auto loan industry survives. Not because people are stupid, but because financial illiteracy is a feature of the system, and everyone around you will gaslight you into thinking this is just how it works.
