I agree - given current savings rates, I realized I was better off paying cash then getting a loan. Saved much more money not paying interest than earning slowly.
Also, I like to buy used these days - forced into it by my desire for an NSX, but find it has advantages in addition to letting someone else eat the depreciation. I'm not afraid of buying new, though, since I tend to keep a car 10 years.
