Hey guys and gals... thought I'd share some great news with you. I got my certificate of title to my 2004 Z today

What a feeling! Anyone else carry the title?

 

Nice feeling indeed! ....Bought the car in Mar 2005 and received the title 4 months later in Jul 2005.....

Its amazing what ties that the Mexican Mafia has!


CONGRATS!!!!!

 

Still paying on the 03 Touring.

 

yup, paid off my 04 in dec 04

 

Received the title on my '03 a bit over a year ago. Freedom from car payments is a nice feeling!

damn, im still paying for my 03..ahh cant wait till its done so i can use the money from work and spend it on the car even more!!

 

I got my title the same day i bought it, wrote a check to pay for it. yippee

 

I have the pinks on the '03 Highlander, '05 Avalon limited, '06 350Z Grand Touring and '06 Catalina C250 (sailboat). Inheritance is everything.

 

Yep, i paid cash for my 2006. received my title in the mail like 2 weeks after purchase.
Congratualtions! It is a nice feeling.

 

+1.

 

I know that feeling, feels really good, I had it with my old Accord coupe. But right now I'm stuck in a lease and I really miss the feeling of ownership.

 

Yep, its a great feeling,

 

I'm soooooo envy of you

 

I love not paying interest to a bank. I'd rather save up a couple of years and buy something with cash than pay 20-20% more just to have it now. Not to mention when it comes to cars waiting a year or two generally get you a better car.

Congrats !!!! I can only think of one thing that might feel better. We'll maybe a couple of things if she's willing to do them.

 

You guys are nuts!!! You're happy that you paid $30k of you hard earned $$$ for something worth $20k????? Seriously, people need to see financial advisors before they invest $30k in something that will LOSE them money.

 

How else do you buy a car?

 

A certificate of title means that you no longer have a lien holder? Cool.

Do I have a lien free 350Z? Yes. The day that I bought it.

 

What are you talking about?

 

Well, it's pretty simple......you use the Banks' money to pay for the car at a low interest rate so you're paying a minimum amount for the car each month or even better do a lease unless you plan on keeping the car forever. Then you take your $30k in cash and invest it in some medium risk fund where it'll actually earn you $$$ that will outgain the 4%-5% interest you're paying on your car note. You're always going to lose $$$ when you buy a car.....the idea is to lose as little as possible.

 

^ i'm assuming these guys that bought the car with cash didn't only have $30,000 to their name...it's not like they saved every cent they had since they were 5 and spent all of their life savings on a car...you end up paying thousands of dollars in interest if you finance...if you have the money, i say go for it...paying cash gives a lot of people peace of mind and less to worry about, so i think it's worth it

i wish i could've done that...i'm only 22 though, right out of school, so i've got 51 payments left...ouch
