Yep...paying cash. I learned the key to financial happiness years ago. NEVER pay interest...have others pay interest to you. Kind of funny here...salesman was asking us income, own your home, the usual credit questions...Cindy asked,,,,"Why do you need to know this?" The his lightbulb came on..."You're going to pay cash???"
I said yes, but we really didn't want him to know that until we had his lowest price, because we knew dealerships made more when the buyer financed the car.
I really think this Bullitt is a good "compromise" car for Cindy & I. Not so rare..or expensive that we're paranoid when driving. Easily replaced should the worst happen. Not the fastest thing out there, but adequate power for the driving I like to do.
Plus, plenty of room in the trunk for a weekend's worth of luggage and a couple of pool cue cases.
