Loan. Not a big blow at the beginning, not too bad every month. And it builds great credit history.

Everyone knows that dropping a huge load of cash in a depreciating asset like a [new] vehicle is not the smartest financial move. That being said, I got a loan after putting down about half in cash. The other half I pay for in one year but I'm flexible, according to my loan I can take up to 60 months.
