    They did, that particular model was under 12k though so you were looking at 200-ish a month (5 year loan at 8%-ish) which was totally possible on the minimum wage of the day ($4.25/hr).

      Idk if you’re working minimum wage that’s a tough payment to make. You were making 680 a month if you could get 40hrs/week. Then taxes and gas for the car your spending half your income on your car. If you’re working 40hrs you aren’t a student or something so then rent and excetra. This was out of your price range if you were sensible with money and working minimum wage.
