FUCK YEAH!!! Had to share.


Walked right into that Toyota Dealership and said, "What's my payoff quote?" and then wrote a check for the remainder.

My 60 month loan only took 35 months.

IM FREE!!!!!

This frees up 250 bucks a month to focus on paying off other debt. Im on my way baby!!! There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Im Happy. my box set is coming between 2 and 5 today! what a day!

    Being free of a monthly car payment is a wonderful feeling :)

    Thanks everyone! Writing that cheque was exhilarating to say the least. BIG smile on my face....

    I hope for all of you to feel the freedom of a long payment schedule complete!

    I don't have one and it is wonderful. Keep your car running as long as you can.

    Congrats! I paid mine off a few months ago earlier than I expected to and I agree, it's a happy day when you get out from under those monthly payments. :D

    Nice work B!

    I thought about doing that, but figured it will be best to pay down CC's instead, since my Autoloan % is way less than the CC's.

    I've got 24 payments left and would love to get that thing paid ASAP.

    I am paying my last payment next month, almost 2 years early.

    I am seeing a lot of people paying off auto loans early recently.



    I am never buying a NEW car again, and I am going to try not to get myself into an auto loan ever again.

    Good for you. I walked in a Toyota dealership 3 weeks ago and wrote a check for a Jeep Grand Cherokee. It felt great. I havent ever actually owned a car ever until now.
    I'll be back

    Hey!! Nice one! Congrats!!

    We had to pile up our car before we could pay it off early....(with my injury compensation)...but yeah, having all that freed up $$ is a good feeling!

    Whooooo-Hoooooo!!!! :D:D:D:D

    So even without your help ;)

    I have a new car now myself!! I got an '09 Chevy Cobalt. And I went to the good old reliable bank of Dad for my car loan.

    I just don't know if I'll ever move out at this point!! To many bills already, and with the car payment on top of that....well trying to pay rent right now would be impossible!! :lol:
