You're right, the >10% is probably an exaggeration though it's hard to tell since all the advertised numbers are for 'excellent credit' and you can't see the interest rates that people are paying with low scores.

But the 10 year loans are very real. I've personally had my local dealership try to push BMW Select's Balloon financing on me where they said I could just refinance the balloon payment making for a 10 year loan. It felt like they were making commissions on that financing option.
