Would you have purchased your truck if you had to pay cash only, no finance

It would have taken me another year or two to do it....but I absolutely would have. Nothing about financing or paying up front would make me feel different about the truck. I love it.

I definatly agree with using other peoples money. Since I was young I had to finance as many do, but paid it through contract and kept putting the payment up after the loan. When it was time to buy again some I sold and some I traded, but that always had me in a position to pay the difference and not have a note. From then on I was able to trade or buy and not be put in a position to "have to" or ever in a bind. No matter what the economy did.

No, but I have great credit and with a below 3% int rate it's not like its a lot more $$$$$$$ to buy what I want to drive, also I know insurance company's that if you own it out right and it gets totaled will low ball you and you will have to fight to get what it's worth.

Mine was a cash deal. If you turn it around and say if you had to finance, I'd be rolling in a Harley or Limited right now

I am prepared to pay cash for my truck but when you get a nice rebate by financing through Ford with no penalty for pre-payment I jump on it for a month and then pay it off. When you are retired, you don't want truck or any other kind of payments.

Buying a truck with cash is silly unless you have so much money that you don't care or if you have really bad credit.
Loans of zero down w/ 1.49 Apr are everywhere. If you can't make more than 1.49 apr w/ ur cash over 5 years you really should read a finance book. Any.
Just my opinion.
Invest that money elsewhere and get a loan.
