no your reasoning is not wrong, its just they charge alot so its hard to beat guaranteed over the timeframe of the loan ~ 5 years

Just to expand on this, your car loan will likely be in the 10-15% APR range. Buying the car upfront and avoiding the loan is like investing at a guaranteed 10-15%. That's tax free, too, so it's like a taxable income of 13-20%. There's no way your investments will make you more than 5% guaranteed.

This is a pretty good illustration of the facts.
OP,
Also take into account the fact that you are financing something that depreciates, which is pretty silly.
