    I don't, and frankly with money being as cheap as it is, there is NO reason to pay it off - I make far more than 1.49% on the money which is my rate. - But I certainly would not discourage anyone from paying off debt, but from a financial perspective it's not necessarily the best thing to put your money into (zeroing car debt I mean)

    Last payment for my ’09 was automatically withdrawn from my bank account last Friday the 14th. Same day, truck rolled over 75,000 miles on a quick trip to get ice cream. It got new personalized plates to celebrate the occasion. This afternoon we drove down into Arkansas to explore some back roads.

    New or used?

    I paid cash for mine and all of the parts I put on it thanks in part to driving my 1989 and 1994 pretty much into the ground also paid in cash.

    Update:
    Paying the extra dollars quickly lowered the balance. Countdown now, owe $4600. Hope to pay off by December.

    No issues whatsoever on the truck with 11,300 miles

    Financed $11K on mine but have the cash in the bank. I did it that way to have activity on my credit history. I'm getting .30% from savings and loan is at 2.25%. Losing only 2.05% and will pay it off in 12 months from purchase. Interest is about $115.00 for 12 months.

    Mortgage was paid in 5 years and I carry no balance on my credit cards so I wanted some activity. Gotta keep the FICO up.
