IMO, the best financing on a car is cash. In addition to the low interest rate, it keeps the dealer from playing games with numbers to hide the true cost of the car.

The exceptions are when the manufacturer is running a subsidized leasing or financing deal, but even then it's tricky to keep from getting buried in numbers and paying too much.

And beware of open-end leases.
