NEVER buy a new car if you want to get ahead financially. You can get a reasonably reliable car for about $5K plus change. I have bought reliable cars for far less than that. If you feel a bit well off then buy a lease return car as I mentioned in earlier post.

0% loan means NOTHING unless you have the fund to pay it for 60 months or whatever is the loan period. One would buy an used car and invest the money monthly in mutual funds or DRIP, using dollar cost averaging, as if one is paying for a new car loan. Invest the money in stocks/bonds and you will thank yourself for that.
