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...

Referring to an item as Antique usually means that it meets a certain age requirement. According to the US customs office, anything 100 years old or older is officially antique. But the true definition of Antique involves the concept of times past. If an item is considered to be from a different era or time period in human society, and is also fairly rare, then it may gain antique status without being 100 years old. Ebay makes a distinction for antiques at 1930 and before, which is not quite 100 years.
