Financing is cheaper, when you weigh interest-rates against deflation and how long it would take to save $40K. With the low APR's you can get, why throw money away saving it and fighting inflation? Not only that, but you delay a cheaper gratification in favor of a more expensive one.
Most interest rates right now won't beat inflation....if you you like 2%, maybe...

I think it's ok to finance, but putting down like 3-5k on a 40,000 dollar car is not enough...

I personally pay cash for everything I buy, but I'm kinda weird like that.
