I financed at the dealership, through a credit union. Rate wasn't bad because we have good credit (5.5%).

I hate financing things, I like paying cash, but a string of bad luck and moving expenses have taken their tole on my finances this year.

By the way, picked the car up this afternoon and drove it for a couple of hours. It doesn't accelerate particularly quickly, but it's nimble and runs quiet and cool. It is the three speed, but I like it anyway. I have a feeling I can put on a lot of miles to this car.
