    Bought it that way, wanted a TT FJ, would of had a 13 TRD OR access cab but it was not at the dealership when I went to get it. I'm glad the OR wasn't there, Toyota still makes those.

    Paid off 5 years ago. Unfortunately it wasn't a credit builder because I had to finance in mju dad's name being as I was 15 when it was bought. Not that it's anyone's business, but we all know what will be asked or said. Yes I paid for the truck at the age of 15 because I had a job making about 250 a week so a payment on a 30,000 vehicle loan wasn't roo bad.

    Since we have a zombie thread going, I might as well go for it.

    I sold my old car and put cash from my savings account down. My parents covered the difference. Yeah yeah, I know whatever.

    My wife and I didn’t have any financial issues. I was just sick of my student loan payments the most. So we followed Dave Ramsey and paid off her car in February and then we paid off my Tacoma a few weeks ago. Student loans will be paid off in 11 months. Then it’s save save save

    Yes, and I immediately started putting a car payment a month into a savings account. I've done this for fifty years, at 73, I've never paid a car payment to a financing company and never bought a new car or truck.. Paid cash for a 2014 Tacoma just this year.
