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...

Generally, a car needs to be 25-30 years or older to be considered as an antique or collectible car. Since your Solara was made in 1999, it's still considered as a modern car. For a car to be considered an antique, it would just have to be old. On the other hand, for a car to be labeled a classic, it needs to have some kind of demand and value on the collector's market. The definitions for antiques differ from state to state.
