It's looking more like the FRS for me, but if and when I do get one, 0 down.
I'm selling my Civic privately and using the winnings to pay down some cc debt and my wife's student loans. We should be debt free sans car payments at the end of the year. Then we'll just save, save, save.
CC's kill but auto loans can be IMO a great way of displacing debt especially at low rates. Or at least guilt free mitigation...
You get daily utility and fun out of a car and after the loan is up you can sell the car for about half...so you're only really out half.
Mwhahahahah...!
