A $15,000 used-car budget now buys an 8.7-year-old car with 98,000 miles, and the dealer who also writes the loan is often the only lender left saying yes. Federal Reserve economists finally measured what those loans cost: 25.39% interest, 5% of balances in active repossession, and payments due every two weeks.
