I'm 'that kid' from the Porsche commercial and finally have the cash for the car some many of use dream about. One more hurdle. What is a good convincing argument to convince my wife that a $90,000 car is a good idea? The only thing I have in my favor is she said yes to the new car, but I neglected to mention the price. Or, should I just show up with the car and drop the price bomb after?

I have a strict rule: never buy luxury items on credit. So if you can't pay cash for this car, perhaps you shouldn't buy it. Yeah, auto financing interest is small, but it's still not wise to owe money on stuff you can EASILY do without. Sorry.

You're obviously not an American (or Australian)

[ I'm not going to give up that cash saving 5% when I can turn it easily into 10-25% min. gains.
Sure you can ... ... but most people can't
Come on, you're joking right ? If not a min. of 25% anyone can easily get a better return on their cash than what a bank charges for financing a car. If not you should really attend some seminars and learn how. I made more than triple my finance rate on a 2 day stock trade just yesterday.

I finance when rates are stupid low. It's not only the fact that I can earn a far better rate of return. It also gives me the flexibility of having cash-on-tap to leap on property or car opportunities that are often profitable. I'm definately not a debt addict, but when (for instance) domestic automakers are doing a 0% promotional offer, I'm financing the whole damn car!!! There's no argument not to.
