* It's funny! Like some alien concept that they just can't wrap their head around.
When I bought the CRX I took cash to the dealer, and counted out the full amount, plus tax, title & registration.
* Best I can tell, 'Home Economics' is no longer offered by public schools in the USA. State-level lobbyists for the finance industry may be able to take credit for that.
* Parts, Labor, Interest, and Finance Charges seem to be the sales objectives for a dealership. The 'vehicle' is just there to get you through the door.
I ended up paying 147% for the Chevy. But hey! The salesperson had a bright smile, warm handshake, and low under-arm odor.
