I was driving a fairly new 84 Monte Carlo that I ordered from the factory and got the factory incentive financing rate of 12.9% which was about 5% less than the going rate at a bank. I also had just purchased my first house that I paid $42,900 for and financed at the super low rate of 13.5%.
The good ole days weren't so good, the economy sucked as bad as it does today except it cost a fortune to borrow money.
