Your bes tbet would be to use a Line of Credit to purchase the vehicle. (this is what I do) this way depending on the rate you can get you cabn adjust your payments accordingly.

Some months I pay $900 payment on my vehicle and some months (Like December & January) I pay the minimum Interest payment of $125.00. This is the most flexible way and it also allows you to pay off as much of the loan as you want as fast as you want.
