Interesting. Usually the other way around with rates vs length! Nice deal you got.

Most new cars generally have really good financing rates available. I wouldn't pay cash unless the rate was over 2-3% but I also wouldn't buy new unless I could get a good rate. Used cars are generally a better deal but some models hold their value so well you're just better off buying new. It's crazy.
