Definitely. I didn’t take into account “inflation” as part of the math. I just figured that technically there was a bit of arbitrage between the car loan and the treasury and that influenced my decision.
Also, to get ahead of poor cash management, I made a 1:1 investment for the price of the car in t-bills. I figured that was a good, conservative guarantee of growth against the note.
