I'm so envious! I just bought mine a couple months ago, so that mountain of payments is looking pretty tall at the moment. We're paying extra every month to try to pay it off quicker, though. I own my Jeep and Subaru free and clear, at least.

Congrats!

Congratz, Paid mine off at the end of March. Man it felt good when that pink slip arrived in the mail. I want to use the extra cash for mods, but I've been paying bills down so I can get ready for a house. But maybe I'll get some wheels before then.

I look forward to paying off mine this year too, not sure what I'll do with the "extra" money. If I were smart I'd save it for the next down payment but its easier said than done.

Paid cash for mine, a few months back at the GMC dealer I was buying a part and said to the parts guy I should just trade it in for a new one, he said its still alot cheaper than a new one, even with major maintenance, and if its the new car smell you miss go do a test drive once a month. MAKES SENSE

Word up y'all..... it's good stuff. Paid off the wife's volvo today as well. That's a combined $800-n-change/mo not leaving the house.

What's next? Nothin' love my truck. I'm gonna set aside some cash until I can get'r bagged, shaved, and throw on some LT's and a turbo or SC but....then I'll get going on the inside but for now just going to save up some scrilla and replentish the nut we just spent to pay the ******* off.

It's all real cute and all and a great feeling not to have a car payment anymore but the before and after in the checking account stings a bit, I need to see that $$ go back up before I can get any new mods past the wife.......

Congrats, it is a great feeling. I did the same thing a few cars ago and have just kept an eye on what the one that I have is worth and the car fund. Unless I can trade and pay cash for the diffference, I do not trade.

It does sting seeing that account drained all at once!

Word of advice, take the $800 you are saving every month and put $500 of it in to a seperate savings account and get on the same plan. If you do that every month, it is just like the 401k at work, you cannot spend what you cannot see or what you consider "off limits". That is how we view the car fund "off limits" for every purpose but buying a new car.

I just traded my 07 Denali and bought a 04 Suburban and got a bunch of money back, went right in to the car fund. I am preparing the account to trade the Mustang GT in for a new 2011 Mustang so that I can roll in the 5.0 blasting my Vanilla Ice!! I can see my dumb ass doing it right now.
