Hypocrisy at its best lol! And yet I have owned every car I have ever bought outright with cash. I am far from being rich, but I am better qualified to write this article than this person. Also the moron above who posted about his 'rims' if you need rims bigger than 17 inches you are a retard who is only concerned about vanity. Despite the fact your wheels have now changed the final drive ratio in your car, decreased your gas mileage AND your cars performance. What a winner we have here, AND he went to 20's! Wow, I am sure you will attract a fine specimen of the female species with 20's LOL! I have money on it that the author of the article drives a car he pays on, or has a house payment.

We do not even see the rims while driving. We assume others see it and would admire us for the fancy rims. Well, the business model must be such that it is assumed that most would not make the full payments. Like you said, now we have heard it all.

Renting to own is just about one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard, even when I saw the TV commercials over 15 years ago. Even from just viewing the commercial, I did the math in my head in about 2 seconds and found that the renter is getting screwed. It is almost as bad as those payday loans. Patience is quickly becoming a lost human trait. The first few times I purchased a car, I was thinking in terms of making the monthly payment. These days though, I determine if the entire financed price is worth it and then make my purchase accordingly. Especially now that these days I always pay off financed items early. “Because people suffer from instant gratification disease.”
