It’s tax season. That means car dealers are about to sell some cars to morons getting huge IRS payments.

A 538 FICO score, trying to get himself a Mercedes with what I presume is his IRS check. The finance guy says $8k down is the minimum to get approved for 19.99% interest and $700 payment for 4 years.

Thing is, there is a roughly 40% chance of a default within the next 3 years with that FICO score. The interest rate has to reflect that.
