I hope no one actually takes this advice every time it's posted in these types of threads.

It's just a thing people say but they don't really know why they say it.

It’s actually pretty sound advice.
If you’re financing the vehicle bc it’s a lower rate than the stock market or CD, you need to have the vehicles worth of cash in those places for it to actually be making the interest to offset the loan.
Most people just think they’ll finance it but don’t have the cash value so they’re actually not making that hypothetical return AND they’re paying the interest.
