We break down how Australians borrowed billions to finance cars, why new-car loans are so much larger than used, and how the focus on low weekly repayments hides the real cost. The episode also examines rising borrower regret, dealership finance pitfalls, and why so many defaults and repossessions leave people still owing money.
This episode breaks down how a seemingly affordable private-sale car can mask serious red flags like fake service records, VIN mismatches, and pressure to skip an independent inspection. It also looks at why these tactics hit hardest for families who can least afford a bad purchase.
This episode looks at a new small electric SUV making noise in Australia with aggressive pricing, strong equipment, and practical cabin space. We also dig into the trade-offs: screen-heavy controls, regen braking feel, and whether the ownership experience can back up the bargain.
