Writing a check is usually taking cash out of your bank account (checking or savings) so yes it is the same thing.

I think an 838 FICO score helped a little.

financed my used nizzie (2010 1700 miles) at 3.5% with $1000 down. Plan on keeping it till the wheels fall off, so I can pay off higher interest stuff like my house and student loans. have a 95 saturn as a dd to keep the miles down.

My dealership took personal checks. However, we verified with the bank that the funds were there before the customer left in the vehicle.

It felt good for me also for a year and a half.....until I decided to sell mine to upgrade my ride. I used the cash as a down payment.

now I am a typical American ..... Car payments baby!!!!

I totally agree that being debt free is the way to go... I suppose american financial issues today has more to do with people spending beyond their means rather than people hoarding cash..

However its hard to beat 4% pa interest on aussie dollar term deposits, esp when the currency ought to remain bouyant looking at increased demand for minerals and other commodity products dug up and exported from downunder to developing countries like china and india.

Just my 0.02

Edit... Dow took another dump today and crude slid another couple percentage points... I think i just got poorer... Consolation is that usd appreciated against singdollar.

I know that may seem counter-intuitive for many, but after 30 years out of college and being debt free for the past ten years, I can attest to the idea of "living within your means". A lesson sorely lost in our society today.

That's not to pass judgement on how anyone leads their lives, and I truly acknowledge that you have every right to do what you want within reason, but I'm a CPA with an MBA and I can attest to the notion that "sh1t happens", and you never know when.

That little sermon will do nothing but to piss a lot of people off, so sorry.

Lecture over!

That being said, I've got cash burning a hole in my bank account waiting to be exchanged for a new Z. I'll know by this weekend whether the search may extend into the Spring after bonus time.

Wish me luck.
