Paid off

I pulled the trigger tonight and paid off my truckin less than a year!

Damn that feels good. (Credit Union in yellow ... me in blue)

 

Congratulations, I know it feels good to pay off a vehicle early!

 

Congrats cant wait to do the same

 

Congratulations! I remember how good it felt to pay off my bike; I paid of a 5 year loan in just over 3 years.

 

missileman125fw ... where in Northeast Florida? I lived in Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island some time ago.

 

Gratz!

 

You really wanted people to know you paid your truck off saw your thread on toyota nation congrats man.

 

hey guys....im only 18 so i dont know much about whats going on...but can you guys elaborate on how he paid off his truck early?? I know my did is paying off my car but i don't know how long its going to take!

 

You pay off the loan early by making larger payments than what is do each month. The extra goes toward the principal, so in the long run you save money by paying less interest.

As to how long it will take your dad to payoff your truck, that depends on the length of the initial loan, and if he's making larger payments than he has to.

 

Congrats Man!, i´m planning to do the same in a 2 yr or less basis..... i´m supposed to pay it in 4 year but hell no, the interest rate in toyota financial services down here is 19-20% annual.... debt suck ass! but the taco is well worth it

 

I know the feeling, I spent alot of years paying off vehicles before and ain't planning on doing that again any time soon. I bought this one cash. I just save a smalll amount each month like I was making a payment anyway and hopefully by the time I wear this one out I can do the same thing again. Feels good though knowing that you own something huhh! Now if I could just get out of my mortgage as easily.

 

Congrats! That must feel really well, I've had my F-150 for a few months now and paid off almost 2 years worth of payments on a 5 year loan. Hopefully I'll be able to do the same thing!

 

I live in Lake Asbury which is just south of Orange Park and in between Middleburg and Green Cove Springs. We just went to Amelia Island, what a beautiful place. I could move there and be very happy. How long ago did you move?

 

nice! i've felt that feeling once before and i cant wait to feel it again....

 

19 - 20% .... damn ....... sorry to hear that man.

Keep making the payments and before you know it it'll be your's.

 

I was in the Navy ...... too long ago. Moved in 1983 ..... (I was still VERY young at the time).

Lived just north of the turn of A1A as it goes south. Miss the lifestyle.

 

That's exactly what I started doing about 10 years ago. I'd paid off a vehicle and had grown accustomed to making a roughly $400 per month vehicle payment, something I'd been doing with fair regularity for a number of years, so just kept putting that same amount, since I had already "budgeted" for it, into a special savings account that I named my "Car Account". Later I poked it into a money-market account with a brokerage house in order to make more interest. Since that time I've bought two new and one used vehicle by paying cash, haven't made a car-payment to a creditor in a decade, but I keep making that payment to myself!! Feels good, plus the money is there if a guy ever needed it for some real emergency. I become increasingly convinced that with the economy as uncertain as it seems to be at present, the only legitimate form of indebtedness, certainly in any sort of long-term sense, is one's home mortgage.....and even that can be shakey as we have seen lately, at least under some circumstances and/or in certain parts of the country.

 

WoooHooooo. Good for you! My truck is the first vehicle payment that I have had in over six years. Three more years and my '07 will be paid for

 

Holy crapola! 19-20% ??? I got my '07 Prerunner in December of '07 at 3.9% in Orlando
