It is a good feeling when you pay one off isn't it. There was a day I never paid them off, just kept trading and making payments. Then in the last few years I got a couple titles. Now I am down to one Truck payment, means I can do what Herb did. I go Vette fever something bad!

What kind of car is it? I guess I should say truck payment...its a S-10 Xtreme extended cab. It still has never had anything in the bed of it either...LOL just a nice uesless truck:rolleyes:


It is a good feeling when you pay one off isn't it. yeah...just imagine what I can spend at GPSuperstore now Frank...LOL
Actually, I'm taking that money and adding it to my mortgage payment...that is how the house gets done in 2 1/2 years.

Awesome Rubes. I paid my truck off last year in April. It didn't seem real. 5 long years. We're now in the process of paying off my wife's vehicle (4 more years). We wanna have only 1 car payment. When hers is paid off I'm getting a '04 Corvette. Oh yes...it will be mine.

From the irony dept....I have been driving the same 1995 Ram 1500 since Feb 1999, haven't made a payment on it since about Thanksgiving, '01, as I paid it off a little early. We paid off my wife's Grand Cherokee last fall, about six months early. I've long been a Dave Ramsey guy, for those of you familiar with his Financial Peace programs, and it is amazing how great it feels to have only a mortgage to pay each month. That being said....there's an '05 Ram 1500 Quad Cab with dealer tags sitting in my driveway right now. :hammer:

I've been making car payments for the last 8 years (minus a few months). I keep trading and paying. I have a little more than 2 years to go on my Saturn I bought in '04

My problem is there are so many cars I want and so little time/money to get them. Fortunately, I only have two car payments, the Vette and our F150. The other four cars are ours free and clear! :bananna2:

Discovered him last year and its one of the best things to ever happen to me. :worship: No dept except the house as of a few months ago.

I am forced to have a nice new vehicle in my profession so I just lease a new one every 3 years and right it off!!! :banghead: When I get out of this rat race, I'll definitely do the same. Congrats man. If it's a toy I hold the title or it doesn't get bought.

Congrats man. If it's a toy I hold the title or it doesn't get bought.The most deprecation is in the first two yrs. Why not lease a two yr old car,still right it off( which means you might get 1/10th of it back) and most people won't know the difference.

Yep it's another Dave Ramsey fan .Haven't had a car payment for over 15 yrs! They seem to run better when they're paid off!!!!

Congrats guy. I took out a six year loan in 99 for my ram air TA. Looking back it is amazing what a really long time that is and what has happened in my life sinse(Not to mention how much I paid in financing). I am now car payment free and never want that again. I was 25 and stupid. My project is going slow but I am paying cash as I go.

Any car payment I could afford goes to my X. At least she spends it on my daughters.
