'Hispanics get affordable car loans' - 03/10/03

The headline of this article sounds great! I'm all for everyone getting affordable car loans. But, let's read a bit further: The first time Carlos Quezada bought a used car, he borrowed $8,000 and paid 30 percent interest on it over two years.

[UPDATE: the first article has disappeared. Here's the cached version. (The cached version appears to have disappeared as well. Here's the letter at Tancredo's site.)
