This isn't necessariy true. It depends on what interest rate you can get. I took the 2.9 and came out on top. Google Car loan calculator and do the numbers. An average car loan now is about 6%. Even with 4.9% interest, financing 38k came out to the same as financing 40K with 2.9%. That is if you can GET 4.9%.

I just inked a deal on an MDX Tech/PTG and was given the choice of 2.9 without the 2k dealer cash, or 4.94% from honda motor credit with the 2k dealer cash. The payment (with no money down other than upfront fees and taxes) was nearly identical. I chose the 4.94 (which ended up being 4.85 after they ran my credit- I'm also an existing acura lease customer, so i believe they offered me a .10% discount as a result), because I thought that owing less on the vehicle overall would be better in the long run. The 4.94 is the promotional rate that acura was offering prior to the 2.9 they are currently offering and they are still willing to offer it; they just don't advertise it.

The 2.9% or $2,000 off wasn't available when I leased our car a few weeks ago (if it had been available I might have made a purchase but am still nervous about resale value on these cars with $5 premium fuel just around the corner).
In any event when I ran the numbers, it worked out cheaper to take $2,000 in cash and do 4.9% financing than to do 2.9% financing with the same money down.

josephd05, can you tell me whether you got the 4.9% interest rate from American Honda Finance Corp? If so, what was the term? 60 or 72 months?
