Could've paid cash, but I opted to put down $5k and finance the rest at 1.9%.

Why...?
1. I'm of the mindset that if the finance APR is low enough, I'll take the loan to keep/build better credit.
2. I'd rather have the cash in my bank, making me more money...or at least as a "cushion" for any life emergency. Dropping that kind of money at once, on a vehicle just isn't in my DNA.
