If I could borrow money at 1% and stick it in ING (now at 4.25%) I'd do it in a heartbeat. That 200k that ima has in savings is probably making her much more money than the 1% she's paying to borrow for the car.

That being said, I personally pay cash for cars.

To each his own. Both methods are perfectly fine in my opinion.
