how desperately he was being overcharged. Or why he didn't find a car that cost no more than the down payment money he had, which would have been the right way to go.

In 1991 he could have gotten something decent for $3,390. Heck, that was just about exactly what my younger son had to spend when he bought his first car in 2004. I'm constantly confounded by the bad decisions people make when buying a car.
