Thats not necessarily true, sometimes buying cash vs. financing is a matter of personal preference and not "whether you can afford something or not." I'm in the car business now and manufacturers do offer 0% on CPO vehicles, as Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge is doing so right now.
But good luck to you OP, go with what makes sense to you and more importantly what you'll be happy with in the long run.
Wrong....it's pay now or pay later. If you can make payments then you can save up first and not go into debt for a car.
