Is it better to put 0 down and save that money for payments if it is 0% financing?

Am I missing something here?

Money is not wasted as a down payment

if it is o% financing it is better to put no money down as long as you can keep up with the higher payments.

cash in hand is always best.

Cash in hand > then financing

But at 0% Im leaning towards 0 down, for some reason I always thought that downs of 2,,5, 8, 10 were nessicary when buying a new car

It depends in your credit really. Most places prefer you to put 20% down up front since that will cover the cost of depreciation if the car ever gets seized due to not making payments or whatever.

how the hell are you getting 0% financing

Paying full retail

Incentive rate at a dealership instead of rebates or through a credit union. My CU offers 0% for one month every year.

This.

It is a give an take generally. The incentive might be $3k off MSRP and 3-5% APR or you get no rebate and 0% APR.

As far as which is better is really dependent on alot of things such as if you are gonna pay it off early, etc.

right but isnt only for so long? like 12 months? then after that they bend you over and fuck you up the ass? idk ive never bought a car brand new.
