Barrowing very large amounts of money on your credit card is not advisable, in the long run it will prove more expensive, and while new cars are rolling off the run way into the glassy court yards of new showrooms, not as many people are buying new vehicles, because we are currently in a savers market, where credit on luxuries items are squeezed, the federal reserve, and primary have their work cut out, to keep inflation from becoming a runaway express train.
