      Just bought a used compact van with 36,000 miles on it. Gonna be paying $453/month for 78 months.

      With the miles I drove monthly, it’s gonna have over a quarter-million miles by the time it’s paid off.

          No. After 6.5 years of making payments with compounding interest I will have paid 36,000 for a used compact cargo van. The list price was around 26k for a 2020 model with 36,000 miles and a clean record.

          Look up cargo van prices right now. I actually did really well on both the price and the interest given today’s market.
