I always pay cash for vehicles too, Lynn.  But I believe we are the 
exception, not the rule.  If a young man desiresd to work but has no money, 
he will borrow the money for the car to become a worker.  If his pasrents can 
afford to give him the car, things are a little different.  Think of your 
friends and acquaintances, don't most have a car note?  I believe I posted a 
while back, from a source I can't remember,  that well over 60% of all U.S. 
households have to make a monthly car payment................
