Me too re buying new vehicles and paying cash to have zero finance charge and to avoid the comp and collision requirement that having a car note requires. I also buy relatively inexpensive cars (so I won't moan and groan as much if I have to write a check for a new car re getting in an accident that is my fault.....and I haven't had to since adopting this policy for myself long ago). I know this saves me quite a bit. That would be great if it saved enough to pay for the next car. I've never stopped to calculate how much it is saving me long term.
