bought mine paid off..

 

All you rich MF'ers... ...

I only had that lump of money to throw down on a car because I sold a classic for $21K beforehand. Never thought I'd feel as broke as I do around here.

 

Not flaming, but I find it hard to believe that all these people paid their cars off. I don't believe chit I read on the internet.

 

You guyz are ballaz whoever paid it off already . btw paranormal did you win anything @ HIN in AC? I seen your car there and spoke to your moms about your car, she's cool *** hell to be down with whatcha doing to your whip . Wish my peeps would be cool like that all they do is bitch especially the wifey .

btw another 25k for me til I'm done.

 

I don't believe everything I read either. That being said, there are some of us who have made the conscious decision "If I can't afford to pay cash I don't want it/need it" with regard to cars. There's nothing wrong with living a debt free lifestyle (other than a mortgage).

I haven't made a car payment since 2000 and own all three of my cars outright

I don't doubt it. But at 33, I do envy it.

 

I've bought my 05 Coupe M6 in April 05 and paid it out in full. I had the money so I choose to pay it off as I didn't want to pay any interest on doing monthly payments. Feels good but when I look at my bank account it's like where did that chunk of money go? In the end I got my car so I'm a happy camper!

 

Damn Gman, you caught me!! Alright I admit it, my TTs aren't paid off yet!

 

I had an 88 Sentra for 8 years. I then purchased a 96 dodge ram and paid for it over a three year period. I owned that truck for about 7.5 years. I then purchased my G35 coupe with cash.

You must remember that this thread is not a random sample of people, which of course would have a very large majority of people making payments. Some people like to post a bunch of crap, so I do talk things with a grain of salt as well. But if you are a bit lucky, focused on your goals, and you are good with your money when luck and some success comes your way life can be easier than some think. I don't have kids either which helps. I get enough exposure to them teaching.

By the way, I love INGdirect. I'll take four time the interest of banks, or double the credit unions any day. If you open a 2 year CD you can currently earn 4.5% with no minimum deposit to open.

 

Oh, and find a wife that is tight with the dollar. That help tremendously as well!

 

Me...the day I bought it

 

Jan 2005 I went to the dealer and left with my brand new '05 6mt sedan paid off. damn that felt good!

 

Well I don't doubt that some have paid the car off, but watch how big this thread gets in the next few days. I will doubt the total number of people who claim they paid their car off.

 

almost. i gots give or take $6k left. probably gonna kill it with the xmas bonus', and my tax returns next year. then trade her for an LS.
