I'd like to add a little perspective here from the c900 bb... *if* saab fails, I can't imagine it would be harder to get parts for the ng9-5 than for a c900... yet it is pretty easy to keep them on the road. sure there are a few "problem" parts to source (amm!), but fixing them is rarely a problem. As Tim points out, a new car should have fewer things break than a 20 year old car!
If one wants to de-risk, lease! With low interest rates today, I'm not sure why anyone would buy a car with cash anyway - better to use the cash to earn money at a higher rate of return than the car loan/lease interest... depends what rates you can get, but I've seen a lot of 0% to 1% numbers out there on cars! Could probably even find a bond or gic (for the term of the loan) that does that well...
