    I buy cars in cash. I have purchased a single vehicle in my life with credit and that was paid back in 3 years, it was solely because my then 8 months pregnant wife and me broke down in our old car. Still have that car, 15 years old Honda Civic trying for 30 years on it.

    No sympathy

      I bought my last three cars with 0% interest deals over six years. Brand new cars (last year’s model), good price, dealer’s trying to just make room for new inventory. With low payment I was able to invest extra money. Why spend cash you don’t have to? If someone offers low interest on something you need, it’s a no-brainer.

      No sympathy? No thinking maybe.
