What's this?

Depends on the interest rate on your car loan. I had always paid cash for

my cars but when VW offered 0% financing, I financed the car and left the money I would have paid in the market, which was up over 100% during the life of the loan. My rule of thumb would be finance if the interest rate is less than 6%, cash if it's more. However, I also drive my cars until they're worn out.
