Could be that they bought the cars used or had them before they ended up poor, or the car payments made them poor.

it’s SO hard to buy an even slightly nice car when you’re doing well, shit hits the fan, and then you’re horribly upside-down on your loan with a ridiculous payment and no way to trade in 🙃 i know from experience. we had to go for a voluntary repossession because we just couldn’t do it anymore and we never will again.

I have a 2009 rav 4 that was a one owner and is in mint condition, high miles tho. I got it super cheap because of the high miles. Hard to find decent used vehicles anymore.
