5 - 6% and if thats equal to a good APR, then paying cash for the car is sounder because its a guaranteed avoidance of the 5 - 6 % interest expense whereas with the equity investments, you'll gain 5 - 6% only if things turn out as planned, there's always some downside risk, even if its minimal. If you pay cash for a car, you should have enough reserve cash for investing anyhow.
