Depends on what he's doing.

Case 1: 24K financed, 60 months at 7% = $475 per month
Case 2: 15.5K financed, 36 months at 7% = $478 per month

Monthly payments are wonderfully mind numbing...for the dealership.

Flash a low payment in front of a consumer that doesn't do the math and they think they're getting a good deal.

I presumed based on the the tone of what the OP wrote that he fell into a Case 1 and not a Case 2 scenario.
