Just wondering who else has a big zero for a car payment. I paid cash for my 04 CS.. weeee.

 

3 years to go!!

 

not paid off but I am 4 payments ahead.

Looking to payoff as soon as possible.

have a 5 year loan and looking to do it in less than 3

 

doesnt make any financial sense to pay off a new car. you're better of making payments and investing with the rest of the money. assuming you have a semi decent interest rate of course.

 

Paid off!!! Cash money!!!

 

Normally I'd agree with you.. however, I happen to be a financial consultant, so this was one of my splurges. :-) Just enjoying the fruits of my labor so to speak.

 

That's an argument that is sometimes true, but not usually. Paying cash for your car creates instant equity and liquidity which may not be the case with other investments. Of course, I'm not saying that a car (at least a Z) is an investment, but the only time I even have considered financing a car is if I can get 0/0% interest rate.

We financed our Z for 30 days, then paid it off in full.

 

Good stuff :-)

 

188 a month for 5 years, but I plan to do it in 2 or so...

 

paid cash at the time

 

Wrote a check for 35.5K for my '04 Redline Track out the door, tax, tags, title, licensing, processing fees, etc. Paying cash for a car sure changes the car buying experience, doesn't it?

Congratulations!

 

I guess the subject line says it all! My wife refused to go into debt. But now I can never retire...good thing I have a secure job (tenured professor of mechanical engineering)

 

Now I really feel poor, I pay 310 a month for my touring, just got it so I have 5 years to go...
wish I had $36k, I'd go to Vegas!! lol

 

i have 14k to go...but i am going to almost pay it off when i get back from iraq :-p

 

check was written for 37,500 including tax title license.

 

Paid off the Z last month.

Paid off the Maxima Nov 02. Feels good!

 

Paid cash for my Roadster.

 

Awesome...oh yeah, and the answer to your question is "Enough that innocent women and children don't die at the hands of tyrants in their place." but that's waaaaayyyyyyy off topic.

 

I paid cash for my SS Touring Roadster.

There is a certain peace of mind in knowing that an expensive toy is not also a debt looming over your head. (IMO)
