You should do whatever is best for your situation.

That's vague.

Let me give you a more specific answer:

If your goal is to own the car right now, go with a car payment.

If your goal is to be a smart shopper and stay financially sound, go with cash.

If your goal is to finish paying off your credit card, go with the car payment.

So, you don't want to explain what you mean by “best” to me?
