Sorry, the best "for you and your future"?? OUR future
We bought a reliable car for 22k without financing. Our next car will be bought when this one dies. It's not necessary to have a new car every couple of years.
If you can afford to pay cash then take the loan and invest the cash elsewhere, and if you can beat the interest on the loan then come back to write better financial advice than this. And even if you can't you'd at least have done something interesting.
