that is very admirable of your mother

I agree with those who said you should be able to pay cash. A car is a depreciating asset, so to
borrow money to pay for it is just a lose lose proposition.

Definitely be able to pay for it with cash. That being said, I don't necessarily mean they have to pay for it with cash, they could lease (although I'm reminded of how Suze Orman has stated that leasing BMWs were one of the biggest financial mistakes she made--she now buys Mercedes in cash paid outright; OTOH, she doesn't own a private jet but does use a private jet timeshare-system).

Some people on here thought I was lying about my brother owning a Lambo, Porsche twin turbo,and a Ranger Rover supercharged; fortunately he brought his Lambo out today and here some pictures of it in front of my Parents house. Sorry I took the pictures from a camera phone.
