I'd rather have 35k invested and making me money than a title to a depreciating asset.

Assuming you have to use the 35K to payoff the loan, aren't you making a decreasing difference? How much can you actually make in the end?
And if you don't use the 35K to payoff the loan, you have to take into account that extra money you are putting into the loan instead of saving - how much would you have made saving that payment?
