Hey there,
Im new here as well (haven't posted pics of my Hummer h2 yet, But I will eventually) BUT, I do have some great advice for him. What I did when I bought mine was I leased at a 3.00% interest rate instead of an outright buy at a 7.00% interest rate and I took the ballon note at $26,000. Also I am keeping/paying off my Hummer. My reason for doing this is if I would have taken the 7.00% outright buy with $10,000 down I would have over 72 months have paid about $68,000 ($951/mo) by the end for the car, while leasing at a 3.00% rate with $10,000 down I got a note of $624/mo for 47 months with a balloon note of $26,124 so I'll end up only paying (624 x 47months = $29,328) + $26,124 (balloon note) = $55,452, which equals a total savings of $12,458 than buying it outright. Sorry for the calculations, but I'm trying to show him the smart way to buy an H2...
