    Bought mine early April 2009, paid in 48 payments... So finished 2014. Now I don't care when the truck sits for weeks in the driveway, it's so useful to carry stuff and it's paid off!

    My dad was born and raised in the Great Depression and always paid cash for every vehicle he ever owned. He always said "don't let then get you by the short hairs"! I haven't quite been able to do that but I paid off my 2015 in two years.

    Mine has been paid off since I paid cash new in 2010 when my 2000 Taco had the rust issues and was bought back. I still make a car payment- to myself (savings contribution set aside for new vehicle). 8 years later I have enough earmarked for a new truck but no need since my 2010 is still in awesome condition. Still miss the 2000 Taco, change is hard, lol

    I bought this from CoPart, rebuilt it and sold my f150. What I sold the f150 for vs what I owed on it I paid for my Tacoma

    Mine is paid for and I am now making "car payments" to a savings account. When it is time to buy another (though at 73 that is unlikely) the new one will be paid for. The only one making money on my financing is me.

    I have always bought three to four year old vehicles. On used, I only have one regret purchase and it was the first year of a new generation Frontier, no more first years.
