My truck seems to drive like a dream since I left the bank about a hour ago and paid the rest of the balance!!! Thanks to the advice of Dave Ramsey

 

congrats and enjoy the dream

 

Plus they don't hurt nearly as much at the gas pump. Congrats!!!

 

Cool deal man. I paid my truck off a couple months ago. There's nothing like the day you get your title in the mail.

 

I know the feeling. I got mine a couple of months ago.

 

I got a guy coming to look at my '02 tonight, if it sells, I'll still have a payment on my '04, but my '08 Escape will be owned by me. I'll have $365 more dollars a month for mods I guess.

 

since you have a burden lifted from your shoulders and are wondering where to spend that extra cash.

May I suggest you send it to USAA under my name. PM me for my account number


Luckily I only pay $275/month for my rig....I've refinanced it twice from my original loan. I really need to bite the bullet and just pay it off :o

 

My 08 is aslo payed for. And yes the gas pumps are a little easier to visit now since that title came in the mail. Now I just keep seeing these 2011 mustangs around town that I wouldnt mind owning. But I dont need/want car payments again.

 

Now I have to fight the urg to lift/new exhaust/something performance, and put that money towards my student loans....we'll see what happens

 

congrats, i have 3 1/2 years to go yet.

 

It is a great feeling... I paid off the the 04 FX4 and 07 Mustang GT a few months ago, which cleared up about $800.00 per month. I then sold the 07 GT and used the proceeds $16K to put a down payment on my wifes new 2011 Flex.. Now we have a $375 a month payment for that

 

My 2000 would've been paid off this up coming January but then I found this '04 and fell in love with it so traded in my '00 for it....another 5 years of payments, but I've put a plan into place to have it paid off in about 3.

 

I refinanced my 08 yesterday, went from 5.75% to 3.74%...70 more months to go...

 

Uh...WHAT? You refinanced a vehicle you were already paying on and still have 6 years left? What are your payments, 100 dollars a month?

 

I know exactly how you feel OP. I paid of my 95 (bought in 2000) in 3 yrs, worked on paying off my HUGE CC debt (CC's are the devil) afterwards, got it paid off in 2006, & had been living free of debt up until I bought my 2004 here in April.

Financed it for 3.5 years, & am already 6 months ahead in payments. Hope to have it paid off by early 2012. Life is grand when you are living free & clear of debt.
