    It’s paid for! Picked it up new on December 28, 2019, made my last payment on November 30, 2021. So I guess it’s official, I own it :D .

    Of course today someone nearly rear ended me. Go figure.

    Awesome!

    We quit vehicle payments 15 years ago and it’s been great.

    Congrats OP.

    PS: Pro tip; continue to make your "truck payment" to a savings account to start saving for your next vehicle. If your Taco lasts for 5 more years (which it will) and you are disciplined enough to save religiously each month, then you will have a hefty cash down payment for your next car purchase. Here is the math; $400 x 12 months x 5 years = $24,000!

    That’s a fact. Not everyone can drop 50-80k out of an account for a vehicle now days, but saving up for 3+ years is never a bad thing.
