    They used to for cars, but obviously that’s a depreciating asset or w/e so it’s not really the same thing.

      Yeah that’s the definition of strings attached. If they’re giving you a 0% interest loan on a car, you can assume the profit margin on the sale is large enough to cover the interest, especially since car companies often own the finance companies.
