If your sensors have been on a year or two but the tires will last 3-4 your gonna have to do it again. Plus you only paid $50 for the tires.

Actually no student loans! and Its around 7%.....what I expected for an 07 with 130k miles.

I do hate payments a lot, I try to just use cash. I found i spend less and manage it better when I see it leaving my hands....I just won't spend it, but I can swipe a card all day....so I stopped doing that lol

That's what I was thinking. I tried bulking up my payment on my duramax to twice the normal and it was stressful. I felt like I had to account for every dollar, and it gave me little piece of mind. I think if I went $200 it would cut the time down a good amount, and still allow me to retain my current budget. It really is 25 more a paycheck.

And actually no student loans! :) My parents were very proactive along with some great scholarships! Im a business major so I'm really analytical of my money, and finance in general, just wanted yalls opinion!
7% is horrible. Make payments for the life of the loan.

Yeah but its used and higher mileage so it was whatever. I can always try to refinance for a cheaper rate right?

Im thinking if mods are like $200 or less it won't kill me to do them every once in awhile (like the level, and just little stuff) but I would rather pay it off first before doing anything large like wheels and what not.

On the flip side getting tires mounted for free today, only day my buddy dad is free. Might bite the bullet and just get sensors from work $35-$40 a piece while he can do it instead of breaking them down again...besides tires were only $50....

7% would push me to pay it off as soon as possible.
