I think the problem is most people buying a car on long ass terms are doing it to buy a vehicle they otherwise can't afford.

"Hey I can buy this Civic on a 48 month term, or this sick ass Audi on an 84 month term for almost the same price per month!"

And the money they "invest" by not paying cash is invested in a new set of wheels and an exhaust.
