Combine with a good finance rate and it’s a pretty good play. Drive them until 100k plus/8-10 yrs and then sell to private party since they usually aren’t worth much for trade in. Makes a new car sale so much easier not haggling over trade in value :
I would guess less than 5% drive them until payoff and even less than that pay off early. The extended loan term exists to get people into cars that can't otherwise afford them.
