Paying cash also means you won't have to make payments, which takes it off of your monthly budget. Still, paying cash can lead to other issues. If you pay cash, you may take a big bite out of your savings, and if a rainy day comes along, you could wind up in financial trouble.
vintage has a couple different meanings. it can just mean old or second hand. In that case anything that you have that was owned by somebody else prior to you is considered vintage. It can also mean anything from a previous era. I usually think anything from the 1920s to 1980, not including the 80s, is vintage. Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vintage_clo...

I think it rather depends on the item. Furniture and small appliances tend to be considered vintage anywhere from 25 to 50 years old and beyond. the term vintage however is highly subjective. Vintage clothing particular couture styles might be less than ten years old. Cars, airplanes and boats generally start edging into the vintage category anywhere from 25 to 50 years of age. In most states a car can be registered with vintage collector plates after it is 25 years old or older.
