Why would anyone have paid cash for a car back when rates were 1.9%?
Hur dur let me pull 50k out of the market in 2020 to buy a car cash and lose out on 10k investment gains just to save a couple hundred in interest.

$1350/mo on a 2022 explorer, short amortization on 1.9% financing.
Last of the low interest deals before rates went bananas.

I own 3 vehicles....paid cash for 2 of them.....the 3rd is financed at 0% for 60 and I've got about $15k left on it. Payment is $660/month
Insurance is $320/month for all 3......Completely ridiculous.

The next car I buy will be the new gen 9 Camry probably. But I want to get a house/condo first. I think 2026 I might trade in my '18 and pick up a '25 or '26, using cash for the difference.

Never had a car payment and the whole argument of “but why pay cash when I could keep the $50k invested” is BS most people don’t even have $1k to their name let alone $50k. Car payments are for broke people. Even at 0% it has a -10% return due to depreciation, 0% is a cope.

Paying off a car early is one of the bigger money-losing moves I've made, though it was good for mitigating risk at the time
I threw $14k at a car loan back in 2020 when the pandemic hit. If I did with that $14k exactly what I did with the rest of my money at the time in the stock market, it would be worth like $80k today rather than saving like 3%

In fact I have a cashiers check on my desk for $6K I'm about to give to the orthodontist to save $400 by paying in full up front vs taking a 25 month no interest payment plan.
I know the math. I'm doing it anyway, I hate debt.

"Impeccable" maintenance on our vehicles is an imperative to get the most out of the 5-6 years of maybe 300+ monthly payments.
Only 98K miles and I'm glad we used that logic back then.
