Besides winning the prize, only three ways that you can drive a new car, which pay cash, take out a loan, or lease. You should be able to choose which is best for you.
Paying cash can be the cheapest way because you do not have to pay interest. As for credit, you will get additional cost tens of millions and even hundreds of millions of dollars just to pay interest.
But if you pay cash, you’ll let go the opportunity to cash owned by it, such as for business or another. Your investment choices will affect the profits and losses you buy a car cash.
Maybe you will lose money by paying cash, because interest rates only 12 percent, while investment you make 15 percent a year.
However, there are strong reasons not to pay in cash, of which most people do not have sufficient funds to buy a car. So if you do not have the cash, stay two questions, whether cheaper rent or buy credits?
Monthly payments for rent must be cheaper than paying the loan. But remember, at the end of the loan, you’ll have a car, will have a resale value, or you can drive freely without monthly bills. With a lease, you will not have anything, except memories.
Why more expensive monthly payments? Monthly payment consists of repayment of the loan amount plus interest costs. Meanwhile, the monthly rent payment consists of the cost of depreciation plus interest costs. Therefore, car rental is much cheaper.

A nonprofit agency in charge of driving safety in the United States, Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), recently issued a list of the most dangerous vehicles this year.
From a number of crash tests (crash-test) done IIHS stated, lower-class sedan vehicles most at risk during a fatal accident. Chevrolet Aveo and the Chrysler PT Cruiser was accused as a car that has ranked worst crash-test in their classes. Especially the impact of the side and rear crash an accident.
Chevrolet Aveo IIHS enter and Chrysler PT Cruiser in the Cadillac STS and the Mercury Grand Marquis as the most dangerous vehicle in 2010.
In the crash-test using model cars in 2010, the team found at least 28 points in the trauma that caused the collision, and traumatized by 37 points on each side collision tests.
The worst rating is the car that caused the most trauma. Each rating point gain on the trauma specific parameters depending on the region.
“The cars on our list has exceeded all Federal safety standards (U.S.),” said Russ Rader, IIHS spokesman as reported by Forbes. “Automotive manufacturers have actually been taken over safety.”
Not only that, the IIHS also include two-door and four-door Jeep Wrangler on their special list. In the crash-test done, Wrangler has made trauma passengers from side impact. “When compared to its competitors, Wrangler made ill during a collision with the side door,” said David Zuby, Senior Vice President of IIHS vehicle research.
Zuby said, in an accident, a vehicle with a heavier mass will be better than small vehicles. Chevrolet Tahoe 5500 pound weight (2750 kg) would defeat the Nissan Micra that only weighs 1000 pounds.
“It is our recommendation for the people will buy a medium car,” said Zuby.
