Pushing the boundaries of not talking religion here but it is actually more an interest conversation.
Most religions have an aversion to usary which is considered an extreme, unethical or illegal level of interest on monetary loans. There are several passages in the Christian bible about this (it was the main message of the whole Jesus in the money lending market thing). Didn't know that some considered
all lending to meet that classification though.
Your best bet may be to just save the cash for the whole deal. As said already the dealer is not going to drop the price to where they take a beating just because you can't pay interest. The taxes and fees don't just go away when you get them rolled into the price of the car so they are being paid by somebody.
