Not when you can use someone else's money at a low APR... For example, I got my daughter a car (toyota) and I financed it with a 0% APR for 5 years. Sure, I could have paid cash for the thing but why not use their money? Your statement is just hyperbolic horseshit.
The key word was 'need'. If the only way you can afford a vehicle is to finance like hell, then look for a cheaper vehicle. As you pointed out, you could have paid cash, so financing wasn't a need.
Although I would say that if the vehicle is needed to generate income, then sure, finance the hell out of it if you need to.
