I would say if you do pay cash for a car you are being a little careless with your money. The name of the game is cash flow and opportunity cost, if you dump 20k+ at once you just lost the ability to invest in assets which can earn more then 2% return over the lifetime of the loan.
This whole debt = evil mentality is pretty dumb. Yes, if you can't afford your debt it's a bad situation, but all debt is not necessarily bad.

Would you rather hear bitching regarding the price?
I was raised the debt = evil way, but I understand the concept of affording your debt.
