    The only advantage is not dealing with a monthly payment, if you can   
    afford it.

    That's a great idea. My goal is to walk more this year, I have a dog   
    that gets me walking 3x/day, but he's slowing down now - it's less   
    walking and more sniffing these days. I have a market a mile away, but   
    there's a big hill in the middle.
