Op, don't pass up super great rates that nearly keep pace with inflation and year model price hikes.

Yes, invested, with the ups and downs in the market. Ended up financing anyway.
If you think about it, the price actually went down. Back in those days, the 280 i wanted Cost about $36k. The one I got with 2011 bucks was 42, so I think adjusted for inflation it cost less, but with much more tech.
Dealer almost had me at 6.9, but when i contacted State Farm to ask about gap insurance, they said it was included with all their loans. So I had them quote me a rate and 1.9% I couldn't believe my luck. So financed all but 10k for 72 months lol, with the money sitting in the bank to pay for it. Gonna let that money roll interest.
Dealer was bummed when I went to take delivery, and told them to cancel their financing, hehe.
Not to hijack the thread...
