Some deals sound better than they are

I am not in the market to buy a car right now, but I found this Yahoo Autos article interesting and think it can be applied to other major purchases. It definitely includes some considerations my husband and I made when we purchased our home two years ago. Basically it discusses some of the many zero-percent financing offers now available from car companies. Some are really good deals. Others, depending on your personal financial situation, may not be as financially beneficial for you than not low-interest financing options. Before making a decision, do the math. Consider the monthly payment you can afford, and how long you'd like to be paying a car note. And, read the fine print - we always hear that but often times we don't follow the advice.
