Robb in Newsweek: 72-mo auto loans last longer than owners want the car

“The general idea is that people – after about five years – do tend to want a new vehicle,” Cliff Robb told Newsweek. “And that’s what makes these loans so interesting. You’re putting yourself into a loan term that actually exceeds the typical ownership term.”

Most consumers, Robb added, go into the buying process thinking that they will drive a car until the wheels fall off. However, outside forces, like the marketing of newer cars or someone close to them buying a new car, often convince owners that they need to purchase a newer car earlier than originally anticipated.”
