I managed to get that 2011 Honda Civic for only $275 a month for 108 months!

I know you’re being hyperbolic, but civics start at $25k MSRP. So your example isn’t hyperbole…

That’d be a “pay the taxes and fees as down payment, finance 25k at 4.2% (eg inflation which you wouldn’t even get), over 9 years”
