More Drivers Spend $1000 A Month On Car Payments

The number of Americans paying more than $1,000 a month on car payments has increased as interest rates on car loans surged, according to a recent report.
The percentage of drivers spending upward of $1,000 a month on payments jumped to an all-time high of 17.1% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to 16.8% in the first quarter, according to a report by Edmunds. The amount drivers spent on average also reached a new record high of $733 in the second quarter, up from $730 in the previous quarter.
The higher payments are tied to historically expensive financing terms. The average annual percentage rate (APR) rose to 7.1% in Q2, compared to 7.0% in Q1 and 5.0% in Q2 2022, according to the report.

  1. Good day! Would you mind if I share your blog with my
    twitter group? There’s a lot of folks that I think would really appreciate your content.
    Please let me know. Cheers

  2. I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I come across
    a blog that’s equally educative and engaging, and let me tell you, you have hit
    the nail on the head. The problem is something which not enough
    people are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy I came across this in my hunt
    for something regarding this.
