it's not at all. If someone wants to subsidize me, great. I'm not adverse to interest free financing if the numbers make sense. And the reason they can make sense is that the guy who doesn't pay o time often picks up the tab.
If you're not paying an inflated price, and you can otherwise afford it, interest free can make sense.
I've just found for me, I'm less and less likely to use it due to the hassle factor, and the low return in this investment environment. Not having to deal with another payment for 24 months is worth more to me than a couple hundred after tax.
