Yes, you are very right. This cannot be a better time for you do to this, because
1. Saving interest rate is high compared to loan interest rate
2. You can accumulate good credit score, which will be extremely helpful for larger purchase in the future such as houses. Just think about, if you get a 30-yr loan of $300,000 for a house, at 6% you pay $1,800/mo, at 7% you pay $1,995, that's almost whooping $200 difference. Your credit score will heavily influence your rate. So even if you are subject for higher interest rate for auto loan, it is better than higher interest rate for mortgage.
After all, credit score is vital in the US, which is very different from China. Get some loans, get up to 5 credit cards (every credit card would increase your score by about 10 points till the 5th), do not ever get any of those department store 12-mon no interest deals (sometimes they could shave 50 points off your score).

另外弱弱的问:是不是就算有现金,也最好贷款买车,积累信用记录,对以后买房什么的有好处是吧
