My local credit union's rate is 2.15%. That is with no risk. Want to increase your risk? You can definitely go higher based on how much risk you are willing to take. Please don't rely on advice from an internet forum, use a financial advisor. I am sure they can get you a better investment rate than that. Hopefully closer to 6-7%.

I prefer having cash available rather than sinking +$25k into a car that will loose value as soon as I drive it off the lot. If you want to sink cash into the BRZ, go ahead. I would rather keep those funds available to invest or for an unexpected event.
