I can't claim the credit. After I bought my 98 'vette for cash, a friend of mine explained the economics of the situation to me. I hate having a car payment, but it does make good sense, particularly if you can take the interest as a tax deduction, or if the 5 rate is low enough to be offset by investments.

Not for sure but a buddy of mine talked to a bank and somehow loaned himself money through the bank, where the bank and himself both made a percentage. I have had him tell me how but I don't figure I will ever have enough to loan myself 40,000.

Lease It, no money up front. I did my truck, I own a trucking company so every payment is a wright off for 60 month's @ 450.00 with a 10,000 payoff at the end that you can refinance or let it go back if you want to, that way if the truck is not worth 10,000 at the end of the lease you don't get hit with the depreciation. no tax, lic. fee's. (closed end lease)

How many miles a year do you get with your lease. If you drive thousands of miles a year doesn't it cost alot more?

Ya the more mileage the higher the payment.
I'm set up for 12,000 a year, I Can stay within that range. But the mileage thing will only apply if you turn the truck back in after the lease. And i was going to keep it.
