In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn't feel like it belongs to us. Should we finally buy an old school car ? so as not to be affected by this subscription models or is there a way to crack the software installed in it ?
I just Googled and the 2024 Telluride has an MSRP of ~$55,000 in my area, used 2023 models are about ~$45,000.
Looking at an auto loan calculator, that's between $700 and $900 per month with a 96 month 9% auto loan.
Point is, if you can afford the car you're probably not worrying about the subscription except on principle. If you can afford the car and have principle concerns you'd probably buy a different car.
96 month 9% auto loan 🤮 might as well flush your money down the toilet.
Yeaah all those $80,000 F150s and Silverados you see on the road?
Bubbles gonna pop real soon. Those are all on 10 year loans…
Jesus, for that amount I can buy a house in Sweden.
