We paid cash for ours, but I would also finance if the terms were right.

For the most part, we pay cash for everything other than real estate, or if something is financed (vehicle, etc.) we have more than enough to pay it off, but may choose to finance if the interest rates are low enough. I like the security of knowing that I have the cash on hand should things ever get drastic. Probably being overly cautious. If any purchase over $500 has any kind of zero-interest financing option, we'll take that almost 100% of the time (and then pay it off before any interest/penalties).
