Paying for your coop' - finance or lump sum?

Hi all,

Another poll for you. How are people paying for their coops? Finance (monthly payments) or a lump sum?

It's all anonymous, so we won't know who the rich-kids are

I'm going to do the "Mini Select" plan. A small down payment, low monthly payments, and a "lump sum" at the end of 36 months

60.... or maybe even 72 monthly payments... AHH!!!! Doesn't much matter though, I'm going to have this car for a long time, since I'll be going into college soon and all.
