I financed 29% of the purchase price for 5 years at 5.95%. I took delivery on February 20 of this year. The monthly payments are easy to handle. The personal property taxes in Virginia are a real killer, adding about 40% to my monthly cost.

I would have waited to save up the full amount, but I feared that the U.S. dollar would drop so much in the next year or two that I wouldn't be able to get one. So I decided I better get the car now. I could have saved up enough to pay for it outright, assuming 3-4% annual price increases, by the late fall of 2007 - the 2008 model year.

I'm glad I did it now - it's worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
