<prompt> Human: I own a small business. I make decent money, but I travel 30-100 miles a day. I drive an 08 Trailblazer. Its still nice, but its worn. Id really love to be riding around in a new Tahoe. I need the space, and Im in real estate, so a nice car isnt out of the ordinary. Leasing seems to be a no go, due to mileage. However... even with 10k down and 0 interest, the payment would be 800 a month. I can afford this, but it just seems highly imprudent.How are all of these people driving these new cars? Are they putting 100 down and paying 1k per month?  <response>: Many people buy things they cant really afford using financing. A few actually have the money. In either case, usually people spend more on cars than they should. Buying a 50k car because yours looks worn isnt a very good financial decision.
