The rise of the scammy car loan

You're oddly hostile for a post where I offered advice. Obviously we'd be better off if there were strong protections in place. No one is arguing otherwise. I offered practical advice that you and your loved ones should follow to protect yourselves and you act like I'm saying the system is perfect and nothing should change.

If you posted an article about people were dying in car crashes and I said to make sure you wear a seatbelt, you're acting as if I said we shouldn't continue to try to make travel safer. Wear a seatbelt! And make sure you know how finance works before taking out a loan.

Educating people is a lot easier than fixing the system. No reason we can’t try to do both.

I think the advice is really “at least google it before signing a contract”.
